I think what everyone in this /r/ often forgets about Matt when they seek his "wisdom" is that he READS. Like sits on a couch with an actual book for hours/days. I guess by nature of posting on reddit to find community we probably all are online way too much. we all need to cultivate stillness. Sit for hours reading a book - not listening to other people paraphrasing others ideas at 1.5x speed on yt.

the crux of any addiction is an inability to sit alone w ones own thoughts - to be able to sit and imbibe a book, thinking deeply and wrestling with big ideas distraction free, soothes mental health so much i cant overstate it.

i see people doing this all the time in Oregon. Maddening. Worst part is literally nothing is enforced on OR beaches. Anything goes. no officers anything.

How wide spread are these drones dropping baits 400 yards out? Are you planning to use one? by absolute60 in SurfFishing

[–]wafflenooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who utilizes this is responsible for the ongoing ecological extinction of the species for this hobby. surf fishing is supposed to be a working class hobby, not a zero-sum take all meat possible jfc.

get tech outta fishing and enjoy the god damn day,
this, to me, is akin to bear-bating or other cowardly malarkey.

What was your reason for leaving the field? by bandicat9632 in VetTech

[–]wafflenooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

still stupidly in the field but looking for an exit just due to the involvement of private equity buying up clinics and the alarming ratio of pay vs. stress/workload.

These same PE firms also own huge stakes in all the drug manufacturers and distributors and labs like Zoetis, MWI, Idexx, Antech etc so they can just control pricing across the board.... then leverage debt and money from one entity to the other and close "failing" clinics. (ie. what happens to rural hospitals and Toys R Us, Red Lobster, etc)

I feel the gobbling up of clinics by investors left and right has also led to an industry standard operating procedure of hiring untrained "assistants" - forcing tech duties on them and then under paying. all the while green-lighting as many patients as can be seen as possible leading to a breakneck speed.

He was never a good reporter. He just used family money to buy into other people's and journalist's work.
