Oh, no one cares what I think. And no one needs to.
I have a couple of near dead communities that nobody really bothers with and nobody really posts in. I’m completely unimportant.

- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 2 days ago:
I’ve been playing video games since the 1970s. Now I’m just a poor old man. My legs are grey. My ears are gnarled. My eyes are old and bent.
These days I mostly play video games for the story and to relax so I usually play on easy. And I’m ok with that.

There’s one just round the corner from where I live, but I doubt most people notice it, or just assume it’s an old lamp post.

I open the carton and just jiggle each pair of eggs ever so slightly to make sure they’re loose. Cracked ones won’t move at all because they’re welded.

If there’s a boy paid of scissors there, and a girl pair of scissors there, then it’s a brace of pairs of scissors. Obv. English is very straightforward.
- Comment on Unexpected item in the bagging area! 5 weeks ago:
I’ve worked with some of these guys and it’s absolutely all about them, their targets, their bonuses.
One of the Goldman Sachs bosses once came up with the term ‘long term greedy’, and had his staff apply it as a principle. Basically it means ‘do the right thing by your clients’ and ‘don’t gouge your clients’. Better to have a 20 million dollar a year client for 10 years than to screw them out of 50 million in the first year and lose them. That sounds great, but then he could afford to promote that way of thinking because he knew he’d still be there, with his stock/share options, in 10 years, profiting from that long term greed.
The younger guys are absolutely, 100% motivated to make as much as possible on day one and not give a shit about the long term view. How else are they going to afford the Porsche, Rolex, summer house in the Hamptons, etc. So they’re much more interested in screwing a client over for a fast buck, or shitting on the company’s long term well-being for this year’s bonus.

- Comment on Unexpected item in the bagging area! 5 weeks ago:
You think the decision is dumb. But for them the decision probably improved the company’s bottom line at a crucial moment when their performance-related bonus is being calculated. And it also opens the door to sideways promotion.
e.g. Twatty McBallbag Ltd: profit with loss prevention staff = 1 million
profit the first month after all loss prevention staff were fired = 1.2 million
profit the sixth month after all loss prevention staff were fired = 0.6 millionThey claim the saving of 0.2 million (as a result of reducing staff costs) and get their performance related bonus. They also get to write 'While CEO at Twatty McBallbag Ltd, I increased profit by 20%", on their CV and move on to a new company with profits in the 10s of millions.
