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.
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.
Sometimes, I go to conferences, and some speakers put very long URLs, such as:
https://olivian.ro/using-bit-ly-links-for-conferences/
Wouldn’t it be better if they used bit.ly, and, also, personalized the URL to be something in the likes of:
https://bit.ly/conferencebucharest/
?
You can personalize the URL and make it nice and sweet, easy to type, easy to even remember.
There’s a saying that goes “The shoemaker always wears the worst shoes”.
I see people having done a lot websites not having a website of their own.
On possible explanation, in my opinion? They might hate making websites.
If they’d love making websites, they’d have one on their own.
Also, it’s like punctuality – if you come to the meeting on time, you are already late, as you should have come earlier.
You should not only have a website, but a website on which you put a lot of effort.
Sometimes, I need to do some urine culture test.
My suggestion for doing this – when you buy a recipient for this, consider actually buying two.
I’m all in favor of being friendly with nature, but it’s safer to buy two than waste one day due to some errors.
They are generally very cheap, less than 50 cents.
Things change, I don’t like to make plans two years from now.
It’s not that bad, but it’s not great, either.
It’s good to make plans, but also to have the ability to adjust them.
There are two ways of looking at love:
I prefer the latter option.
I think:
Some people ask: “How are people in the USA? What’s the difference between them and Romanians?”
I liked a lot Jim Bagnola‘s answer to this question (very approximate quote): there are a lot of differences between individuals. Some people have special particularities, tempers, and personalities. The generalization “Americans are like that” tends to be false.
On the other hand, there are some studies that can show differences. Sure, you won’t get a specific answer, there are like differences from various parts of Romania, like they are from a US State to another, or even within a State, or even in various spaces within a city.
But there are some studies that give insights on how the “average” American differs from the “average” Romanian.
But Mr. Bagnola is right – you’re more likely to meet some extremes, rather than the average. Personalities matter more than things related to the culture of a country.
