No. Ostracizing just seems soo much more harmful. It seems kinda backwards to me. What’s an acceptable response and what’s not. That’s all.

No, I’m asking why can’t I just punch a guy who deserves it.

Right! Thank you, this is what I’m looking for.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
To clarify: I don’t have an issue. I have a coworker I’d like to punch. The alternative strategies I’m taking because I can’t punch him are leaving me feeling dirty.

My follow-up thought. Would so many people not rather be hit once than ostracized forever from a group?
Isn’t a punch or a slap or a headlock better any social or mental punishment? It becomes almost therapeutic for both parties.

- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 1 month ago:
I’ll go out on a little limb, it might be sales specific. My company is 100% work from home. All the engineers and product and design work remote, maybe come into the office once a week just because.
The sales team however is strongly encouraged to come in as much as possible. I think it’s a morale thing. Sales teams become these weird cults, maybe necessarily. It’s really hard to pick up the phone and make a call when you’ve been rejected 5 times in a row. The teams little ceremonies are designed to help push through that.

I just hate all their separate OSes. I’d buy an iPad pro if it ran osx. I’d buy this thing if it ran osx. I’m not buying a powerful $3k computer that can only run apps.

No, you cannot expect that. That’s a nice to have.
If you expect that, you’re going to be disappointed.
If your life depends on that, you’re going to fucking die.
- Comment on UK | Girl died from sip of Costa Coffee drink after ‘failure to follow allergies processes’ 2 months ago:
If you have an allergy to milk so severe you’ll die, you’re probably just gonna die. Unless you only eat what you or mom prepared.
It’s not about training, mistakes happen. If NASA engineers make mistakes that crash billion dollar spacecraft, you’d better believe the folks who make your food are going to make mistakes. Don’t put your life in their hands.

- Comment on Average consumer now carries $6,329 in credit card debt. 'People are stretched,' expert says. 3 months ago:
There are some other legitimate reasons to put tons in credit too. I built an ADU on my property. Asked the bank for a loan to build it, a second mortgage. They said no, there’s not enough equity. (I’d just bought the house a year prior). I explained that the value of the property will go up by more than the amount of the loan I’m asking. Of course they told me they can’t give loans based on hypothetical future appraisals. So they advised me to put it all on credit. I had a line of 30k with them after all and that’s the exact amount I’d asked for.
So we did. Maxed out the card to build the ADU, got the property reappraised, then got the second mortgage, then used that to pay off the credit card debt, now renting out the ADU for $200 more per month than the loan payment. It all worked out and made perfect sense, but I carried 30k of cc debt for like 4 months while this all went down.

I was at GDC the year of the acquisition. There were Facebook suits walking around the showroom floor writing checks to sign exclusivity deals with anyone showing off a VR game.
