I'm not really a fan of being called a 'grinch' just because I don't celebrate western Christmas or even the Gregorian New Year. I'm not particularly offended by it, mind you, but I also don't love it. Each to their own. And for as long as I can remember, I've just not really been one [...]
Some people use the 'virtue signalling' accusation thing as an insult. Like saying what you believe in is a bad thing. Like if you don't do enough to back your beliefs up, you're a shit person. But you know what's worse? Fucking asshole signalling. For example, by trying to give someone shit for virtue signalling. [...]
Just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean you have to express it - especially if it may cause harm, upset or hurt to others. Feel free to shut the fuck up. If there are things you know little or nothing about, consider doing some research before you put your bullshit opinion out into the [...]
It's spring and we all know what that means... ducklings! And fuck yeah! I live right near a river, so I get to see the ducks most days, and right now, there are baby ducklings everywhere. So if you're looking for something to do, find your local river or pond or lake or stream where [...]
The human defined season of spring may have started about a month ago, but natural, mother nature's spring really kicked in this week when she was good and ready, with some glorious sunny days. So I’ve taken the opportunity to ditch the car and ride my bike to work these past few days. I’m lucky [...]
In recent times I’ve seen quite a few people in the business and marketing bubble say “oh, but people are talking about it so it must be working”. What a load of shit. This isn’t just dumb logic, it’s fucking idiotic. And anyone who says it should promptly slap themselves over the back of the [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jyndIVod4k One thing I always find fascinating, is how easy (and popular) it is to tear something to shreds, without being able to offer one single decent suggestion about what else you could do better instead. And if ever there was something South Aussies are good at, it’s having a big fucking whinge. Perhaps it’s [...]
Many years ago, like a fucking eternity ago, I studied with Tony Robbins over in America, and one of the things I always remember, along with how to walk on fire of course, a skill that hasn’t come in as handy as I had hoped, was a thing he taught about when someone makes a [...]
A while back I presented to a bunch of young entrepreneurs and suggested that money was a terrible way to measure success. And I honestly believe that. I’ve since added that it’s a pretty fucking excellent way to pay the rent though, so I don’t for a second mean to suggest money is completely unimportant. [...]
Hi everyone, for those of you who don’t know me, I’m Sputnik, the brother formerly known as Steven. We actually have a weird, completely unplanned name tradition in our family: Darren my younger brother has been known as George since he was a baby. And when he was about maybe 19 or 20, David, for [...]
