  • Moreover, if I was productive up to 4:57 and left, I’d be productive up to 4:57.

    If I have to stay until 5:00, not one minute early, I’m watching the clock for at least 20 minutes doing fuck all because I’ve been instructed that I have to run out the clock every day forever.

    When you prioritize employees for their time, they give you their time. When you prioritize them for their work, they’ll give you work.









  • I’ve considered it a good thing to get the “You’re making a mistake” pushback for things like marriage and kids. Because it is hard and you do have to give up and lot of things for it, so you had better be damn sure thats what you want.

    You should be able to hear that (from certain types of people) and think “what the hell do they know?”. And if you do think “oh, damn, am I making a mistake?” then you should really fully stop and consider that question.

    I think it’s easy for people to fall into the traps of thinking marriage and kids are just the next steps in life and things will get better when you’re married. Marriage doesn’t make anything better.

    A lot of people say things like “marriage is great, but its a lot of work”. Those are the people that I’m like “really? Sounds like you maybe did make a mistake there” because (and I’m not expert, I’ve only been married once) it’s really easy being married to my wife.

    Also when they add extraneous hyperbole to invalidate themselves.

    No, there’s nothing sweet or savory about rotting meat, but it isn’t rotting, now is it?People that eat meat do not eat rotting carcasses (RFK aside) the same way vegans don’t eat rotten vegetables.


  • It’s probably fine to reuse it for a few days

    My dude, hardly anyone uses a new towel every day. Its much more than “probably” fine. Its perfectly fine.

    Is affluence the cause of germophobia because their parents convinced them frivolous luxury was actually important for staying healthy?

    Don’t get me wrong, enjoy your fresh towels! That’s nice. That’s a luxury. Luxuries are nice. But don’t fool yourself into believing that you’re any healthier for not using the same towels twice.
