As one of the 5 grinding old dudes I can categorically say that the grinding is starting to chafe. Lol.
Laziness is rewarded in the real world, a world where being mediocre is acceptable and where people can stick their hand out and receive something. I've never lived in that world and have had to apply effort to get what I have though. It was the same here on hive.
Recently, in the posting initiative thing, I had comments saying I'd enter but I'm too lazy.
And there you have it. Modern society in a nutshell. Why expend effort when you can get something for nothing...But here, nothing returns nothing. People apply nothing, get nothing then leave to go somewhere else where applying nothing may get them something...And nothing is their reward again...Eventually they end up on Facebook's endless scroll-feed thing engaging with nothing worth engaging with, applying nothing and receiving nothing...And probably disgruntled at those who have applied effort and gained reward for it.
Anyway, I'm old...What the fuck do I know.
Just for the record...I was pleased to see that I made Orca-level, thanks for letting me know. It's been a grind, (there's the grinding reference again), but I've enjoyed my time here...I really wish others would do the same rather than talking a big game in a post or two, saying how much they love hive and hive to the moon and all of that shit, then going all flaccid and limp and resorting to applying nothing with the hope expectation of gaining something.
I should stop. I'm not in the mood to be honest considering today's events.
If money begets money, nothing begets nothing :)
It is the expectation of getting something or expecting something no matter what is delivered that gets people into issue. Producing is one thing, but producing something consumable is a different case altogether.
Chill, have some fun this evening instead. Do nothing :)
Yeah, been watching The Last Kingdom brushing up on my Viking battle-moves for the meetings I have tomorrow. Lol.
Thanks for calling me old, but also indicating I can still grind it. Good for my street-cred.
I think you may need to go up a size sir!
Lol. Or get some KY.
