How do so many big companies manage to take an extremely successful product, and then reduce the quality of it so much that their entire reputation is destroyed? | Easy, after it has become successful, they look to find ways to make it cheaper so as to maximize the profit or recoup costs faster. So quality goes down while the price remains the same.
I have seen this next part first hand. The company has suppliers for raw materials like zinc, the suppliers will try to tweak the formula just enough to cut the cost and again make more on the profit. If the company doesn't have a robust quality control department, this can continue on until either the product is completely ruined or enough failures occur for the company to do an audit and possible a chemical analysis on the raw material to see if something has changed. |

What are some bad movies/ video games with really good soundtrack? | A couple games that come to mind:
- *Yu-Gi-Oh: Forbidden Memories* (PS1, 1999) ; One of the most grindy games ever made, so you'll be hearing a lot *of* the music, but at least it sounds good. (Favorite track: [Tournament Preliminaries](https://youtube.com/watch?v=2n7nA0l0nLo))
- *Xena: Warrior Princess: The Talisman of Fate* (N64, 1999) ; A cheap and shallow fighting game that doesn't know how to *loop* its music, but I've always liked the music itself. (Favorite track: [Vs. Ares](https://youtube.com/watch?v=yhX0HLbwQ9E))
- *Deus Ex Machina* (ZX Spectrum, 1984) / *Deus Ex Machina 2* (Steam, 2015); Dear god these games are **pretentious**. They barely even qualify as games -- they didn't want to be games, they wanted to be rock operas. (Favorite track: [Justice](https://youtube.com/watch?v=yCPbKtWhUYA) from *DEM1*, [Decline](https://youtube.com/watch?v=hzSw6u5qW1c) from *DEM2*) |

How would you explain "Objectivism", the term coined by Ayn Rand, to a ten year old? | It's a silly idea created by a woman who was badly treated when she was young.

Fellow short-termpered people, what helps you calm down? | Well honestly nobody can make you mad except yourself.
I mean that, YES people can do things which cause you to get annoyed; but really it's kinda your choice on how you handle that.
I know that sounds too simplistic and perhaps it is, but it's true and it works if you really take that to heart. That's not easy which is why I say it's probably not as simplistic as it sounds, but I find that's what it comes down to.
I know my method of cooling down isn't great, but it works. If someone does something which causes me to become upset I just assume they specifically did it with the intentions of making me upset. With that in mind it becomes like a "you don't get to win" deal and I choose to not be upset and "play into their hand." |

For those of you who quit while you were ahead, what was it that you quit and how were you ahead? | The Army. I served 11 years and a lot of people ask why I didn’t just finish the 20 to retire, I wasn’t injured and I on track for promotion. I was an excellent Soldier for a number of years, ahead of my peers and always had excellent reviews, but the last couple years my heart wasn’t in it. I saw a lot of people retire and they were miserable, just counting the days... I didn’t want to be like that.
Four years later I’m in a career I love and my family and I are much happier. I also make significantly more money, which doesn’t hurt. |

They got to the last wave and told them they had to stay in the office. The last dozen or so people rebelled. They locked all the equipment in the break room and refused to work. Management ended up calling security to try to force them back to work, but they didn’t back down. Security took one look at the angry group of workers and hightailed it out of there. Management was forced to cave and told them they could be WFH. They grabbed their stuff and never looked back. Management pretended the whole thing never happened. |

People who meditate regularly, how does it really help? | Zen monk/priest here. I can only speak to the style of meditation I do. It's called zazen (Japanese for sitting Zen) or shikantaza (Japanese for 'just sitting.')
I began meditating (we call it 'sitting') because of some serious shit going on in life. Most ppl come to meditation for this reason.
I, like many, believed meditation is to clear the thoughts, feelings & emotions that I had. It took me quite some time to realize 'sitting' is not about this.
Rather it is realizing that just like the stomach digests food, the brain digests reality. We gotta plan our day, follow recipes, study, budget, & all the other tasks life has for us. The conditions in life are what give rise to the specific thoughts that arise. For instance, thoughts about someone who recently died are arising more lately. Last week this time they rarely were crossing my mind. Whatever is going on in life are right the conditions for the thoughts were having. (Like warmth, moisture & darkness are the conditions for a seed to sprout.) Again, the brain is digesting reality.
In this way, 'sitting' is about experiencing that thoughts arise on their own & also go away on their own. (That's not to say they won't return.) We also experience that thoughts go away on their own without having to act or speak on them. Usually if someone is angered & have angry thoughts it is not a pleasant feeling. So they take action to try to alleviate that feeling by acting or speaking out. Sitting is an opportunity to feel & think anything really & just deal with the feelings & thoughts too.
Here are a few recs.
**The Feeling Buddha** by David Brazier - https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780312295097
Written by a psychotherapist. An unorthodox view of Zen. Changed my practice & made clear what Zen really is.
**Opening the Hand of Thought** by Kosho Uchiyama - https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780861713578
I love the title of the book - he coined the phrase. Quite demonstrative of what Zen is. Breaks down teachings wonderfully. He actually has a diagram of what meditation is - it's clarifying.

What is the point of deodorant/body spray when antiperspirant & aftershave is infinity better? | Antiperspirant clogs pores with aluminum. Deodorant changes the ph of the underarm to stop bacterial growth. The scent is not necessary to stop the smell (unscented deodorant)

When did you start to feel like you were getting older than you wanted to be? | Not quite an answer but... I feel fortunate to be as old as I am - to have made it this far. It is a privilege not everyone gets to enjoy. To have the chance to experience what it is like to be this old - however old that I am at any given time.
And... I’ve come to understand that I (and I suspect most) don’t ever really FEEL like they are that different as I get older... that my appearance doesn’t represent the same ageless personality that is me. I’m basically the same person, just have learned a few more things. |
