rich people have lost all fear
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

LRT reminded me of that oral history piece on the films of thomas vinterberg
![excerpt from an interview with thomas vinterberg:
Thomas Vinterberg:We created five, five or six clones of Claire [Danes, for It's All About Love]. In the end we only used two of them, and so most of the time we had these three, barely human, almost like puppydogs really, because we didn't bother implanting memories or anything, and so they were just lolling around the set...
They were actually very quiet, very peaceful.
And although I was worried about what we were going to do with them, it turned out that Claire was really, really good at getting rid of them. Absolutely uncanny. I mean, they say you should never trust anyone who says "I know how to get rid of a body," (laughing), but she was a real professional. I think she kept one of them, though. But I'm not sure what she uses it for, I haven't seen it in years. And that's a fact.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3jmsyyn5m47buyzcuam4xhva/bafkreiezrkkz2f2zvvvcdcjvgp5mjh2krpbhfl2nzpzphwl44eva7drupi@jpeg)

Part of the 30% cut that Valve takes is the implicit agreement that they'll protect developers from the hassle of dealing with individual payment providers, and if they're not actually willing to go to bat for us, why are we paying them so much again
Saw someone cite the Collective Shout thing and payment processors in regards to the Horse situation and say "Valve can't fight them by itself", and I think we maybe shouldn't be defending multi-billion dollar companies for arbitrary takedowns of artistic works and acting like they're the little guy

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.
