Every single employee that was tasked to change Lake Ontario to Lake America could just say no, and quit.

Or are we just following orders?

I bet you Sergey was a frequent flyer to the island.

That’s the issue. It’s someone else’s fault, always. It requires a substantial amount of grey matter to accept personal responsibility, e.g. “I fucked up”. It was me, who made a mistake. When we make a mistake we downgrade to our lowest, most childish behavior, to deceive, lie and cheat, just so we are not in trouble.

Some people never ever ever ask the question to themselves “Did my actions cause harm to another?”. Their self-importance is too great for that. The maximum I can ever hope for, with the current state of humanity is, they’ll think about it, but throw in a nice excuse. Usually “But I was stressed/busy/angry when I did it”. And that makes it okay.

So, sadly, it requires a lot of grey matter to not use it. Mainly because of humankind’s inability to accept personal responsibility, not because a clanker contains some unobtainable information.

It’s not ridiculous. Anxiety is a very powerful emotion and takes the wind out of you. And it’s not your fault.

Thank you for being open about it.

if you don’t mind me asking, can you tell me more about your phobia? Asking out of sheer curiosity, nothing more.

You have the means, ways and most importantly, it is still legal to obtain privacy, though, right?

You don’t fight fire with fire. Disinformation can only be fought with exposure and transparency. Is it “the dream” to be in the EU? No. But it damn well has its benefits. And neither Russia, nor USA have any interest for a strong, independent Europe.

A campaign that fights the bulshit being spread around, with actual facts and sources - that, unfortunately, is boring. So, maybe, real OF models need to volunteer to deliver facts while wearing skimpy clothing? I don’t know. “Paid for” messages can and will come across as insincere.

Bigger question is… is it effective? That’s the worrysome part. It worked (not videos, but literally fake news) for the UK. The hybrid war on Europe has reached new heights. Any Poles that want to chip in?

It’s easy to control sheep. Machiaveli wrote a literal guidebook in the 1500s. If you dumb them down and destroy free thought, you can rule as you see fit.

Emailed and called.

uhhhh isn’t it a new 3d printer? i thought it is? might be wrong

thank you for doing the math. my brain is satisfied

Thanks. It did seem weird. I would assume right-wing and “patriots” would react to foreign names. So it would increase things like scams, doxxing, bullying but for the victims.

Just wanted to go through the data and see if they didn’t do a statistical stunt

That’s interesting. Can you link some of the studies?

Nettle stew. Yes, it’s good for you. It tastes like cow shit to me.

US are definitely fighting freedom, I’ll give you that

That’s a problem, I agree. I feel privileged then, because I actually get to research, and interview, and split test. It was a long battle, I’ve been trying to build that culture for a good 5+ years. Once the features started flopping, I started by doing 2 prototypes - one, based on the PRD from the product team and another, based on my personal research. I had to work 12, sometimes 15 hours a day, but when, instead of showing problems, I was showing solutions, without the “i-told-you-so”s, and when I made it clear that I care about the product’s health alone, that’s when I became the mirror. I reckon it’s not an industry term, but it’s what I like to call it - product presents their idea, you reflect it, and more often than not they do not like what they see. That’s when the real work starts.
