Fr0G , to technology in MKBHD - Do Bad Reviews Kill Companies?

There are a lot of reasons in here about how bad reviews kill products, but I didn’t see mentioned how exceptional a product has to be to garner GOOD reviews. A business will get to the point of almost harassing you to leave a good review. In my experience people leave reviews when they are unhappy, and say nothing when they are satisfied.

An example of this was Teenage Engineering K.O. II EP-133 sampler. A bunch got released with broken fader knobs and the wave of bad reviews and complaints flooded in, drowning out the actual pros and cons of the device. T.E. isn’t exactly floundering from it, but in another circumstance that could have killed the product (which I find to be phenomenal).

Fr0G , to memes in There is zero need for millions of office drones to be on the road daily.

Don’t get me wrong I have certainly had my fair share of bad work interactions but most were benign and some became friends. Although I’m not advocating for the office, I just think people like me wouldn’t do very well without other changes, and I think there are more people who don’t know how to make adult friends than we think. I’m not even an introvert, I just don’t go to any place often enough to make friends from it

Fr0G , to memes in There is zero need for millions of office drones to be on the road daily.

Most of the social gatherings I’ve been to have been set up with coworkers. Maybe I was conditioned by the American education system but I don’t think I’ve ever made a friend outside of a place that we both were expected to go to consistently. I’m not very familiar with constructs outside of that if I’m honest.

Yeah, I agree. That’s why I think loneliness would increase, being at work masks a pretty significant issue

Fr0G , to memes in There is zero need for millions of office drones to be on the road daily.

That’s fair, my coworkers are really the only people I talk to. I don’t know how to make friends as an adult honestly. I don’t think I’m the only one in this boat

Fr0G , (edited ) to memes in There is zero need for millions of office drones to be on the road daily.

I worry that the widespread acceptance of work from home without any other societal changes will increase the level of loneliness. It’s a solution that has to come packaged with other quality of life enhancements or social trust is going into an even faster free fall. I wonder what a wfh/social solution would look like.

I think those other guys have it all wrong. You shouldn’t feel pressured to ditch a reliable machine for something that is still being tested. You may want to consider encouraging younger people to invest in those things because commercially valued electric vehicles are really only just hitting their stride. 15 years from now is when people will say “I bought my electric car for 30,000 usd, that’s right, not credits!”

There are much bigger threats to the environment than people driving cars right now, that are simple to solve (but not easy). However, be careful about singing thr praises of the old because others become too wary of the new.

Fr0G , to aboringdystopia in Young adults are getting used to living on a financial cliff

I got some advice and I’m still living it so I can’t say if it’s worth it but:

“Spend money on the things you enjoy and cut everything else to the bare minimum”

So if you like having a nice house more than going to a sporting event you shouldn’t be budgeting for the sporting event. Just don’t go. If you love great food but hate driving, buy kitchen accessories not dinners. That sort of thing.

I’m not explaining it as well though

Fr0G , to asklemmy in How did you lose weight?

I added more fiber and water to my diet. It keeps you full.

I got a vitamix and I regularly blend two stone fruit or fibrous fruit (oranges and such) with a bunch of water. I drink it all the time because I love fruit juice. It is less… vibrant than store juice but it tastes more natural and you get all the fiber and water. DO NOT STRAIN IT. If it’s too pulpy add more water, or add less fruit.

Find the nearest store or hangout to your house. Walk/Bike/Jog there every day. You don’t have to buy anything. It helps to become a regular because you can make new friends as well.

I’ll turn him into a flea

A harmless little flea

Then I’ll put that flea in a box

Put that box inside of another box

And then I’ll mail that box to myself

And when it finally arrives…
