Actually, no, I disagree.

If anybody pays top dollar for branded material, congrats, you’ve proven to everyone how much of a gullible corporate shill you are. Wear that badge of shame proudly!

Anyone who has followed George W Bush’s playbook in how he handled Iraq and George H.W Bush’s playbook in how he handled the Gulf the first round, know this another round of bullshit.

You really wouldn’t know it, it’s called 2 Sense.

We have the answers. It’s just getting the politicians all on board with it and shutting up the lobbyists for fossil fuels.

Yeah, I mean, your time is valuable and it isn’t going to make it more enjoyable if you’ve already made your mind up about something by trudging through it more. People talk about slow build and “wait until it reaches the good part!” but quite honestly, if a show takes an awful long time to get to whatever you believe is the good part or at least the meat of the story that makes it interesting, then it’s not a good show. It has bad pacing.

I have a gauge of limit as to when I personally rate or judge something. An album has 5 songs to hook me, less if the album is lesser than the standard. A show, has 5 episodes to get me invested, less if it fails the first two episodes. Movies have maybe an honest 15 - 25 minutes not counting slow logo reveals, previews .etc A game has maybe less than 2 hours to get me to want to revisit it.

So on and so forth. People will nag you about how you can’t judge things so early, but again, your time is more valuable.

A feature that isn’t really that new to begin with, since Win95.

And now they’re going to begin replacing the pope for that idea.

Forget the 8 months, it’s the 7 years that makes you think ‘how come you’ve not taken some of that time to learn what we do’?

*You’re. I’m sorry for being that guy, but you’ve made that mistake three times.

Anyways, it is never worth being the hard-working type. I’ve learned the lesson that once you prove to be reliable, management is going to gravitate towards you and work you to death. That means, they’ll want you always helping others, they want you in multiple departments, they want you doing extra tasks on top of everything you do.

So, don’t be reliable. Just do what you can and call it a day. Don’t over-achieve, especially if the company-related rewards aren’t worth it.
