  • I’m in the US and I’ve never encountered this. Some people put them in their email signatures which is fine and has actually been useful a couple times with names that were unclear to me. Mostly we’re just trying to get the meeting over as fast as possible so we can get back to doing actual work. If someone did do this I’d never show up to their meeting on time again, same as I do for people I know are doing icebreakers.

    I’d keep working my day job and melt them into basic jewelry like rings and crosses and pawn them over time. Say I’m getting them at estate sales or something. Use the cash for day to day purchases, buy used cars, etc. Could probably start flipping other stuff to generate more income/muddy the waters in case anyone does look further into it. Gradually work lesser amounts of cash into my bank account. Wouldn’t need to buy anything crazy because I have simple tastes.

    If AI does anything better than you, you aren’t very good at it and using AI won’t help you get better. Learn and practice instead until you can get the results you want. If people abandon working on themselves we’ll have nothing left but a bunch of talentless losers and ai slop.







  • My mom tries to get rid of salesman by deferring to my dad, who then immediately folds to whatever BS the salesman throws his way. He was damn close to signing up to pay someone to put solar panels on their house which he would then also have to also pay for the electricity generated by those panels until I re-stated it to him and was like “do you not see how fucking stupid that sounds? What are you getting out of this?”
