What a nonsense article. Shareholders have never motivated workers in any way, so this is like saying, "Water is wet." Then they quote some Tiktok crap?

Companies catering to shareholder whims and the demand for perpetual share value growth are the reasons why many companies go to shit when eventually that growth comes from layoffs, worse work conditions etc.

Pay your workers fair wages, offer a good work/life balance and keep them happy to work for you and they will go above and beyond.

Movies are unrealistic because they never show the angry stud finder part of punching walls.

Some kids claimed you could run faster if you hold your fingers straight, because that's how T-1000 (Robert Patrick) runs in Terminator 2.

God just doesn't want the paparazzi hounding him.

"Can't smite even one guy without everyone going all New Testament on you and writing about it in the newspaper", said the Lord when asked for a comment.

I think you could do almost anything for a day. One day is "Here's Jim, he's new, and we are going to show him how we do things here" stuff where little actual work happens.

A month would be a more realistic situation. I wouldn't want to be military in an active war zone, work for a drug/trafficking cartel, or any other dangerous profession where the likelihood of dying or going to prison is high. Or professions where I'd have to actively harm people.

Infinite growth and the shittification of services and products while exploiting labor to make that happen are the real problems.

Billionaires should not exist and companies should be doing what is best for the company, its employees and customers, not what pleases their stockholders.

The future in Terminator is set in the year 2029. The movies just missed the mark by a few decades so we can expect the machine uprising in 2029 and the future hellscape ruled by machines is 2049.

Clean the shower drain. You can also get little nets for catching hair under the grate, at least for the ones usually found in my country. It's surprising how much hair ends up there.

Kannattaa ihan rohkeasti syyllistää. Olen pariin kertaan huutanut "Nyt Facebook pois siellä!" ja aina on puhelimet laitettu pois. "Kännykkää voi räplätä leffan jälkeenkin!" toimii myös.

Something like RDR2 but focused on the life sim part. Instead of narrative driven game where your main action in the world is violence, go all in on the simulation part with actually working economics, job choices etc.

I want to be a lumberjack hauling wood to the local mill via the river, not a bandit robbing every passer by. Also, I should be able to buy high heels from the big city store.

Kattelin noita Espoon Nöykkiön kämppiä, koska tuttua seutua. Lokaation lähellä ei oikeasti ole mitään palveluita. Bussi menee vierestä kyllä, mutta kävellen ei ole esim. ruokakauppaa kovinkaan lähellä. Hinnat ihan naurettavia, ei noista kämpistä ole edes minkäänlaista näköalaa.

Muutenkin tämä uudisrakentaminen on ihan älyvapaata. Kerrostaloasunnot ovat pieniä ja kalliita. Pari/omakotitalot ovat enimmäkseen jotain mustia laatikoita joissa on hirveän isot ikkunat suoraan naapuriin ja joku 80-90 m2 tilaa, hintaa 400K vähintään.

Closest I can think of is sitting in an onsen (hot spring) in Arima, Japan, and suddenly feeling like I am one with the world - totally relaxed, without a single worry in my mind and feeling that everything will be ok. Can't say how long it lasted, 5-15 minutes? Haven't experienced that sort of peace ever since.
