Wow... I had a look too and you're absolutely right, it's just lots of workplace drama isn't it. You've reminded me it's often good to check someone's posting history before responding to posts like these.

The last two point and click games I've enjoyed were the Deponia series and the Book of Unwritten Tales. Both really good, challenging and fun :)

My fellow Americans, today I must acknowledge that the tariff strategy was, in hindsight, deeply flawed. It was my idea alone, and I accept full responsibility. I offer my sincerest apologies for the harm caused and vow to take immediate steps to repair the damage. This is on me, and I am truly, deeply sorry.

I wonder who he will blame when this implodes. It was Hillary! Biden! Obama! The Illuminati! The Liberal Elite! The media! My father for never hugging me as a child! Oh shit... forget I said that last one...

I love LinkedIn users like that because they make it so easy for smarter LinkedIn users to stand out! 🤣

It's not the stupidest timeline because in that one everyone's happy because everyone's stupid. The problem is that you're smart and too many people with power aren't. After so many decades of living alongside news media empires, who make money if we're all terrified, I take everything with a pinch of salt now.

I automatically ignore any headline, for example, that asks a question in the subject line and doesn't answer it unless you read the article. Also, any article that uses hyperbolic phrases like "This is the end of..." or " slams/eviscerates/destroys with tweet/article/report".

Also, any headline with ridiculous numbers in it like "Eighty million people will be homeless by winter" or "The average human is filled with 5 kilos of micro plastics!". I even ignore headlines that promise good news, if they use the same tricks, like "New, cheap, easily mass produced chemical discovered that can fix climate change!".

It's kind of a new brain muscle for me but now my first impulse when I read any headline is to assume it's not true and then see if anything else comes along to suggest otherwise. Take all that BS, for example, about the 2000 foot deep chambers apparently discovered under the pyramids that just appeared in everyone's newsfeed. Didn't take long for that to get debunked.

Basically, I just assume all this is fiction until it's corroborated by several dependable sources. The reality of the state of the world is almost certainly not what is being put in front of us. It might be worse or it might be better but it's almost certainly not what they say it is.

Hmm.. won't the rich simply switch from tax avoidance to UK avoidance altogether?

Lol, It never even occurred to me that could happen on LinkedIn, but actually if you think about all the nose candy loving executives that must be on there, who knows?

For me it's an essential tool that puts food on the table and pays my bills. I understand it's not for everyone but I think some people are too dismissive of it for reasons that don't make much sense to me. It's a great way to connect with prospects and nurture customers. It's an excellent, free, reliable social media platform and, unlike Facebook, it isn't full of ads and pictures of people's food or holiday snapshots. It seems fashionable to shit on it for some people but I think that's more ignorance than anything else.

Like me! :) I've been having lots of fun with it. The AI is so much better and the car handling as well. Didn't realise till last night there's a massive collision like derby tucked away in one of the speedway modes. That was fun. Can't wait for more content to drop.
