Stop whining

by tdhurst · 2 comments

I don’t understand complaining. Either solve the problem or get the hell out of my way. It’s far easier to diagnose what’s wrong than to make something right. Bitching gets you nowhere and there are too many impressionable people in this world that may not understand that. I’d hyperlink these, but that’s a lot more work at this point than I’d like to get in to (Safari 4 users feel me on this one).

If it’s satire, it’s not funny. Shut up and go rant on a street corner.

You know what? We get it. We all get it. Thanks for the post about the obvious. Tomorrow I hope to see a post about water being wet, or azcentral commenters being morons. Nice work.

Posts like this make me think of what it would have been like when religion was first invented. Lots of varied opinions, with each group slightly altering their rules to serve the good of each. Enough. Let us figure it out.

Now you’re talking. Great post, great thinking and great execution. You get it. I applaud you.

This feels hypocritical, but I don’t care. I never said I wasn’t. This dude tells us all what we should have been telling ourselves the entire time (to be fair, some of us did). Now follow your own rules.

Eh…this is why big agencies won’t work forever. If your company doesn’t fit an agency, get a new one. Stop rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Dude, at RE Bar Camp Phoenix, I called dibs on Twitter…and now I’m giving you fair warning, I’m stealing from this list as talking points to hit on during my session.

    But seriously…I hate auto-dms. I’ve told folks that do them they suck. Anyone doing auto-dms that doesn’t know they suck, clearly doesn’t get it, and NEEDS posts like the above to smack them over the head.
