On doing good

de
Thank you note

Whenever people ask others to do CSR activities, they tend to say, „You should CSR because not only is it something good for everyone, but it also specifically benefits you.”

I don’t think that’s the optimal approach. To me, this is a bit like telling a friend, „For helping me, I’ll pay you, but I’ll only pay you 50% of the market value.”

If I were to ask a friend for a service, I’d either pay them full or pay them nothing. That 50% is demotivating.

This is the same for CSR – people either do things for a direct benefit (profit), or for the sake of doing something good.

If you tell someone, „do CSR, and you’ll also partially benefit from this yourself”, it might prove a negative motivator.

On The Whale (2022)

de
The Whale (2022)

Some thoughts after seeing The Whale (2022)?

  • It goes under the skin; it makes you feel things.
  • It’s not easy to watch; it’s not a happy movie.
  • I connected a lot with the main character, I think it’s probably the best play of an actor I saw.
  • The other characters played well, also.
  • It’s on my top favorite movies.
  • Recommended movie, as long as you don’t mind being put into tough, sometimes negative, emotions.

Why don’t I like movie trailers?

de
On "Soul" (2020)

Most of all, because it’s a story from which you get nothing.

After watching a movie, re-watching the most important scenes via a trailer is a good idea.

But prior to it, watching the scenes in a trailer only gives you a very approximate idea of what the movie is about.

The whole thing about the movie is not about some scenes but how the things get connected in a story.

And you can’t have a story well told in a minute or two.

Why am I on Facebook?

de
Thomas Hawk - Facebook HQ

I don’t like some social networks I’m on.

Yet, on the other hand, while I don’t like them a lot, I still use them.

There are some people who only post on Facebook. So, I’m on Facebook to follow those people.

There are some people who only use Telegram/Skype for communicating. I’m in there, also. (WhatsApp/Facebook Messenger is a must)

Other people use Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Mastodon, Pinterest.

Some people are on forums, on Reddit, and on 9GAG.

Sure, you can dislike Facebook as much as I dislike TikTok, and decide not to use it to post anything.

But, still, I follow one or two people on TikTok. (currently, I haven’t posted anything)

I need to be where my audience is, I also need to be where people I like are.

Plus Plus. Notepad++

de
Notepad++

There’s a piece of software I often use – Notepad++.

I enjoy it a lot.

Changing the CASE, duplicating lines, and all sorts of shortcuts, they’re useful.

I like it so much, I even added a Win + Key shortcut on my toolbar, so I can easy start it (it’s on my quick launch toolbar, from where I can launch stuff just by pressing Win + 1, Win + 2 etc.).

If you’re on Windows, try it out.
