Im not sure if I understand correctly, you are a troll and you are successfully trolling on FB which makes you happy = ergo this goes in the happy news thread?

I don't think I agree, but, people are different. You do you.

Two (?) days ago I learnt that Vince Gilligan has written a Breaking Bad movie, and filming started in February starring Aaron Paul and Gilligan as director. Releasing on NetFlix.

The Japanese Bob Ross just released an acrylic painting video and it is fantastic. He doesn't speak in it tho, and since I guess most of you haven't heard of him before, I'm linking a different video for you here:

Also after they accidentally blew up that town home, they got help from their neighbor, Anne Byrne, who was married to Dustin Hoffman at the time. Mr Hoffman missed the explosion, he was away shooting Little Big Man


E holy poo poo that guys parents did the brinks robbery

The second Underground was some mailbombs in the early 00' right? If I remember correctly, the only "proof" was that the terrorists wrote that they were the weather underground in a letter as they ranted about immigration or "bohoo, no one cries for white baby boomers in america" stuff.
Now terrorism is one thing, but trade mark infringement? Thats downright criminal!

This guy came to my school and talked about his decision and why he did it and how it worked out. He didn't lie and said it wasn't all upside, which I appreciated. He seemed very cool and I am glad that it worked out for him.

Well, he talked about, for example, some key personnel left, because they felt they were no longer being adequately valued. Basically people making like 70-95k (guesstimate) who felt frustrated that, essentially, their education or skills were simply devalued because in essence, while they had masters degrees or years of experience, newly hired secretaries with associate degress were paid the same amount. The other thing was his brother sued him, as a minority shareholder, for not properly managing resources etc.. though I think it essentially got dismissed because the net effect was hugely positive for the business. He also mentioned that while it worked out really well for him, it wouldnt necessarily work out well if everyone did it, because a lot of the ancillary benefits were that he got a huge amount of press from it and it made recruiting amazing talent almost trivially easy.

I'm not aware of any write up of the event or anything, it was part of the Albers School of Economics Executive Speaker series.

https://www.seattleu.edu/business/news-events/speaker-series/past-speakers/

I don't think there was like a transcript made or a video taken, unfortunately.

Big thanks, very illuminating :3:

So, basically one of the biggest upsides was connected to being unique (= getting attention -> all-competent new hires coming in, in a way also compensating for loss of the disgruntled seniors that left)

Biggest downside (semingly solely) being competent senior staff being so upset for their loss of social status that they left (+ if they didn't leave but were still upset, they might still be upset and have that affecting the work environment etc)

The unique thing can't be replicated while the downside is a one-time event during the transition. Left, then, is the upsides.

I'd say, overall it would seem to let people there forget about money. They all have an abundance, and they all have the exact same abundance - so it stops being a thing to think about. Out of the equation for whatever equation you're doing.
A nice thing to have - if you can achieve that resource abundance, have everyone satisfied enough with that abundance presented, and not have anyone do harm on anyone else's access to this abundance.


This is a post-scarcity society experiment isn't it

Donated some stuff this afternoon and I was amazed by the response from the community. The call went out for diapers, baby wipes, food, household cleaners and toiletries for people who'd had their local stores burned and weren't able to travel to shop because the buses and light rail have been shut down. There were literally hundreds of people there, dropping off all sorts of things. I dropped off my stuff and then joined a group that was sweeping up the street.

Earlier today I was crying because I felt helpless and furious. There is nothing like community action to help you see all of the good people who are out there and to give you something useful to do.

"Look for the helpers" as a man once said. Here is one.
