tbh we are all just snapshots of ourselves at different stage of the same cycle. The Simpsons did a whole thing about lolapalooza which starts with homer looking for his favourite artists in a record store, and the record store dude, and being directed to the oldies section.

The bands that feature in that episode are the smashing pumpkins, soundgarden , cypress Hill and Peter Frampton, all of whom appear in Spotify old school lists

Wooosh

*"Listen, happy endings is fine if they turn out happy,” said Granny, glaring at the sky. “But you can’t make ‘em for other people. Like the only way you could make a happy marriage is by cuttin’ their heads off as soon as they say ‘I do’, yes? You can’t make happiness…” Granny Weatherwax stared at the distant city.

Fuck me. Thank you. Life just got a lot easier.

Anything that you can think of has already been thought of, modelled, and done by international actors who have more resources, technical capability and time than you, and have far fewer morals.

You want a specific outcome to this election? So do Russia and China. They’re a lot better at this than you are and are orders of magnitude more invested in it.

Farm feedstock.contain all the nutrients an adult cow needs, including a wide range of vitamins (including A, B, D, E, K), essential fatty acids and taurine, without the need for grass. Although obligate herbivores in the wild, domestic cows still need nutrients they would normally source from vegetation. Thankfully farm feedstock contains all those nutrients in a bioavailable grain.

grain is a professional cow food, created by grain manufacturers in 50,000BC, formulated and checked by independent animal nutritionists to meet the AAFCO(USA) and FEDIAF(Europe) guidelines for animal nutrition.

We’ve had safe and healthy variants of cow food for 52,000 years. Trying to elevate the question to animal abuse speaks entirely to personal ignorance.

Eta - modifying the diet of a domesticated animal for your convenience seems to run contrary to the premise of minimising animal cruelty.

Fwiw I think that the people you’re discussing this with haven’t had the same experience in the workforce that you have had.

“Words mean things” - inspired. I think I’ll have a t-shirt made.

Have an awesome day, you’re a top bloke with a lot going for you.

Man the projection is wild here. Have a good one mate. You’re welcome to visit Australia any time, you’ll fit right in.

Sure mate. Have a good one.

I think he got a bad read and people aren’t aware of context.

It was a finance meeting. think about how you’d justify why you’re spending money on creches doctors and nurses when you’re a mining company. It doesnt make sense right surely you’d want explosives and dump truck drivers . So you go to explain it.

• OK so what were trying to do is make work attractive to be here in our offices because we believe that people on-site are more productive

• we have parents who want to work with us but they have commitments outside of work so we realised that we could maybe take away some of the need to service those commitments

• parents have kids and need childcare, so we solved that problem for them by providing a creche

• our staff need to go see doctors or nurses, so we solved that problem for them by providing a clinic

• our staff like to socialise over food and coffee, so we set up restaurants and cafes in the building

• all these things cost money but you know what, it balances out because they’re on-site and being productive as a group

• why do we need them on-site - because we believe people to be more productive when they work together. We’ve said we want you in all day every day, we’re trying to make it possible for this to happen.

I know it’s about as human as a thrown axe but people are resources. Companies exist because of their people. I actually respect that he’s open about this and I can tell you, this approach would appeal to a lot of young families in Perth. It’s hard to get childcare and hard to see doctors.

To be honest this isn’t a massive departure from the various other non remuneration incentives offered by companies wanting you to be there in person. Silicon Valley has offered this forever. Gyms, cafes, holiday programs for kids etc.

People have different motivators. I don’t mind being in the office frequently. I work my hours then clock off. I find it easier to switch off from work when I leave work.

Some people will value it. If you’re not one of those people, don’t worry, you don’t have to work there. It’s pretty simple.

Good. Mental health is health.

Could be

Intentional self aware and self effacing humour from the couple

A tongue in cheek thing arranged by either the bride or groom

She did all the work in arranging it and he doesn’t give a shit about marriage so a passive aggressive way of her celebrating an event that matters for he, but not for him

Check out Camping with Steve. It’s the antithesis of drama. Dude just wants to sleep weird places and have a quiet beer, as far as I can tell.

Gratitude makes you live longer, feel better, and it’s free.

Yeah no. Performance, reliability, uptime are huge.

When you look for things to be angry about, when you look for things to be resentful about, you find them.

When you look for things to be satisfied with, when you look for things to be grateful for, you find them.

I found the opposite. I have achieved far, far more through practising gratitude, knowing my values and moving towards them rather than being pressure and goal oriented.

I went for a walk this morning, in a park near my house. It was cold and grey, so.i was grateful for my gloves and for the solitude. How good is it that I can go for a walk, in a park near my house? Hear birds, breathe air see trees, smell the frost? How good that there are parks, and birds, and it’s safe, and I can walk. I want to keep doing it. I’m grateful for that.
