good thread

was having a discussion with a new writer about 'writing people who are different from you' and imo framing it that way missed the point

'writing things and experiences you understand'

this comic seems to be ABOUT blackness. what does this writer know of it?
i live in a majority chinese suburb. if i ask my brain for a character in vancouver they're likely going to be CN because that's my normal

but i wouldn't attempt to write a chinese character whose story is about the experience of being chinese in canada. because i dont know!
what little i do know comes from observing others or having people tell me. i could research, or get cultural consultants in. i could interview people. but why do it at all? why is someone else's story that i don't understand important for me to tell?

thread about data analysis and product management in games. i've worked with this guy. whenever we did anything together it slapped
i dont know many data people on here except maybe @ajseps @ChadJessup @soupychloe @guldeuxchats @SmolBoricua ok thats a fair few i guess
@ajseps @ChadJessup @soupychloe @guldeuxchats @SmolBoricua one thing that i've observed over the years is that often to combat these kind of problems, analysts are removed from their embedded teams, and placed on separate teams behind a jira queue to enforce the respect of time and track work. seems fine, but the distance isn't free

IMPORTANT SOCIAL TIPS:

if a post of yours starts blowing up badly and making people angry: go private immediately. do not attempt to explain yourself

do not post through it. it will accelerate faster than you can deal with. nope that shit the fuck out of people's hands
if it made someone angry the first time then no amount of context you add will help because tweets are viewed in isolation and it will continue to spread without your added context

do not. under any circumstances. attempt to post through it. delete->private->fixed forever
it is never worth it. screenshot it if you must so you can repost with context to clarify or whatever when you come back, after the anger has gone away, and its just your network

do not let yourself become the main character of any subsection of this hell site for any reason

absolutely incredible seeing the people who blew up their lives and credibility to leave tech or games for crypto now starting to scrub it from the internet, leaving a wasteland of deleted tweets and resume gaps on linkedin
spent the last 20 minutes laughing my ass off now seeing a former mutual who went down a crypto rabbit hole and unfriended anyone who wasn't enthusiastically supportive of it. they didn't last a month at one of *those* companies and are pretending it never happened
all i can think of is that journalist who set fire to her marriage and career after falling for martin shkreli
