  • Every single CEO is a quack.

    And by CEO I don’t mean every single boss - I specifically mean the head of any company with a proper C-suite.

    Why?

    Because 99.999999% of the time, they’re just shitty middle-manager yesmen who failed upwards, thanks only to their agreeability.

    The CEO isn’t some wizard who knows the biz inside and out. They’re literally just a figurehead, someone to take the fall, sign the executive decisions, and market the company. Nothing else. Their purpose is to maximise shareholder value, even at the cost of ruining the company, and one of the methods of doing so is marketing.

    so you get these absolute morons, often malicious morons, like the listed, or Musk, who know nothing about the innate workings of the company, but pretend to do so in public purely for the extra profit it brings.

    Then people act shocked when the N+1th CEO turns out to be a complete dipshit who knows nothing but yapping.


  • Forget the store bought mayo, and try any of the older (think 18th-19th century) recipes. You can replace the whisking with a stick blender but not the slow addition of oil and vinegar.

    What you’ll get is an amazing condiment/sauce that is much fluffier than mayonnaise as you know it today, much more flavourful, without the weird plasticky mouthfeel and taste, actually pleasant to eat.




  • Interesting, my PA was essentially painless.

    As for actual pain… I was 15, and had to get one wisdom tooth extracted. Thing is, I have that gene that makes anesthesia fucky.

    I did warn the surgeon, they doubled the lidocaine, and yet… the moment he started cutting my gum, that lidocaine went right out. They had to call FOUR more nurses to hold me down so he could finish the extraction and sew things up.

    Pain was so bad I nearly passed out, and couldn’t talk for two weeks.
