I've never understood the global wave of sorrow spread through our society when a celebrity dies. I've always found it fake and wondered why would people abuse such events, are they really that ignorant and self-absorbed, don't they realize that outburst would hurt the closest to that very person? I get the whole attention whoring to show appreciation, but that always has the backfire effect for the ones that its aimed towards.
Last year Chris Cornell was playing in my city. I was contemplating if I should get last minute tickets as he was one of the few rock vocals who still do live shows and are alive and i truly enjoy listening to. I didn't, thinking he would be back the next year or the year after. Once artists come to my city, they always come back, there is something about the atmosphere of this city, something still quite incomprehensible to me. Another missed opportunity, sadly.
Grunge has always been some kind of a safety net to me. Somehow I find it easy to connect with and let my mind at ease while listening. When I heard that he died I truly felt sad and then immediately switched to disappointed when the news that he suicided hit the net. I must have read hundreds of posts of people expressing anger because he killed himself as if they have the right to choose for him what to do with his life. Artists, however, hold a great responsibility and especially artists whose work has actual value and whose work helps people get through tough times. I'm absolutely certain Chris Cornell's creations have given thousands of people something to hold on to when they've had nothing. So what should they be left thinking now? If he didn't cope with reality how are they supposed to? Hence the feeling of disappointment.
That feeling makes me as self-righteous as the people expressing anger, I'm aware of it. I believe a person should live up to his moral obligations regardless of his own emotions. If standing up to your own suffering would prevent the suffering of thousands, in some cases leading to the ceasing of existence, then it certainly should be worth it, after all our whole world is built on hope and withstanding through adversity.
I guess the lesson here is to experience new opportunities when available instead of forever missing them so that you won't be left with the bad taste of regret. And I guess the second would be to put others first... but I don't believe that to be true in all cases ... so fuck it.
I leave you with this masterpiece
P.S. This is the next case which shows how deeply misjudged depression in our ill society is.
I've tried playing a few hours last days @ PS. Its the 2nd time i get this connection issue where I lose connection to the software, I run their in-built thingy showing where s the problem and I'm connected to every server @ 100% except the first one which is the actual site.
I have 100mpbs connection with a high grade tp link router and I do NOT lose my internet, however I doubt its on PS's end either, so anyone got any suggestions? Things seem to get back to the ordinary after a minute or two though, but I don't feel like dumping chips for no reason
I'm supposed to present a case of a company entering a market they've never been on to and problems involving that and the way they solved it. I'm sure someone can suggest some interesting topic, otherwise i have to go with something stupid like Mercedes entering China or Walmart trying to enter the Far East or something dumb like that. I was thinking about marijuana suppliers in the USA - would be cool since the society i live in has a conservative socialism based view of weed, but that's a domestic market so it seems out of topic and I can't think of anything else. I guess it doesn't necessarily have to a successful case as long as I'm able to spot what went wrong and how it should've gone, but theorycrafting is easy when done in class so it should be fine
So give me suggestions and here s something for all the lurkers
I've been playing PS micros and at thia point I wont be able to go higher than Gold star so I've been wondering what to do with FPPs. Do I let em pile up till i move up or do i play sunday storm fpp sattelites , which are 235 fpp 2/6 get 11$T and 2350 fpps are 25$ rb. They re quite easy @ sundays so im def grtting more EV out of them than the bonus. However if i potentially reach plat star am I losing a lot of EV ? Not quite sure of PS s system and whats best
