Dismal Moments of Zen Thread

[Bruno]

Applying a simple fix to a complex problem is acceptable if the result becomes someone else's problem.

This is the number one rule in any job that applies any kind of performance metrics.

You look better, they look worse, thereby also making you look better by comparison. If it saves you 5 minutes, and costs them 30, DO IT!

[The Johnny]

Applying a simple fix to a complex problem is acceptable if the result becomes someone else's problem.

That's like, literally life bro.

[Doktor Howl]

Perhaps it is because I was only a child that I did not notice the storm clouds that were gathering, but I believe that many who were older and wiser than me at that time also shared my childlike state.

If disaster comes, you will find that all the myths you once cherished are of no use to you. You will see what it is like to live in a society where morality has collapsed, causing all your assumptions and prejudices to crumble before your eyes. And after it's all over, you will watch as, slowly but surely, these harshest of lessons are forgotten as the witnesses pass on and new myths take their place.
