As someone who works in marketing. We are not ignorant to how people operate and how to get in front of them. Go to the sentence that "Management makes most of the decisions". We'll be aiming for the people who actually buy things. Unfortunately in B2B sales that is usually the CEO/CFO/VP who has very little time to read and learn and would rather someone call and explain everything to make a problem go away. Typically they are of an older generation and hate digital media and wouldn't be caught dead on Reddit.
That said, I always say honestly sells itself. Embellishing the truth or straight up lies will only get you so far and it's typically short term gains.
Agency's love scummy marketing tactics. This because it's good numbers to them and they could give a fuck what it does to the client. They just want them to see that the graph goes up sharply for the first month and than silently bleed them dry as it flattens out and they can push more tricks or services to make graph go up again.
Inhouse teams (like me) can't shit where they eat, so have a more genuine strategy for the long term. We are vested in the well-being of our company.
To give a honest response, I don't know
What I struggle with is the balance between accountability and understanding. Viktor Frankl wrote in Man’s Search for Meaning that even in the concentration camps, where survival seemed to justify anything, people still chose differently. Some prisoners became cruel enforcers, punishing their own, while others found ways to remain kind and merciful. Frankl’s point was that even in the darkest times, we still hold the freedom to choose how we respond.
That leaves me questioning: how much of “bad” behavior is survival instinct, habit, or circumstance, and how much is chosen? We can’t excuse harm, but we also can’t ignore the human story behind it. Maybe the answer lies in holding people accountable while still leaving space for them to change?
If anything seems consistent it's that ignorance breeds fear and hate. Understanding is how we overcome ignorance. Doesn't always work out that people can see eye to eye, but that does seem to be the correct path before violence.
Oddly enough, I cherish all life. I joke because the world is often dark, and humor helps me embrace and cope with the unchangeable nature of life and death.
I don’t believe the death penalty is the answer. I’m a strong advocate for reform. I believe everyone deserves a chance to change, mostly because I’ve changed myself, and I want those around me to bounce back from the worst and grow into fathers, mothers, or even symbols of hope for others who have stumbled.
There are people like Charlie Kirk who were angry at the world, consumed by hate. Killing someone like that is the quick path. But the slower and more meaningful path, the one with a greater chance of creating lasting good, is changing their perspective. That could undo not only their hate, but also the hate of those who listen to them. Instead, by destroying them, we often create more fear and more hate.
I know many will say some people will never change, that they are incapable of seeing from the perspective of those they hate. And maybe that’s true. I admit, I struggle to understand fascists, and you might too. But if this conflict is ever going to truly end, it will take understanding, not killing.
Maybe I’m wrong. I just think life, all life, is precious. Some people throw it away through drugs, hate, or wasted time. The addict who never recovers dies with their potential unrealized. The person who clings to hate dies with nothing but bitterness. The real tragedy isn’t just their death, it’s the life they were given and chose to waste.
What happened was unfortunate, no one got through to him in time. Or nothing worked. Just like a heroin addict found dead with a needle in their arm. His hate put a bullet in his neck.

Somehow both better than when I got a tick on my taint. However because it's an awkward spot, I had to lay on my back like a baby getting my diaper changed well my significant other tweezed it off.
Learned that ticks love warm spots before they dig in for a snack. Groins, armpits, behind ears. So check your taint, balls and ass after every hike.

I was in the Florida Keys sitting on the patio of a restaurant at night. Suddenly I saw a large mouse scuttling along the wall, but then it took flight and my brain went through several stages of "what the fuck".
Yeah it wasn't a mouse.

I have always said when you really think about statements your relatives/friends make, they are just nice ways of saying really personal topics.
Nice: Isn't it time for you to work on having a baby?Unfiltered: Are you going to get rawdogged a few times until your eggs get fertilized?
Nice: Boy it must have been a cold winter.Unfiltered: You fucked a lot 9 months before September didn't you?
Nice: You should experience being a parent! We can have playdates together.Unfiltered: You should have a child so you can understand the horror I went through and we can trauma bond.
I'm not sure if I should be labeled as an introvert or not. I just hate small talk and don't really care to get to know people unless they interest me. Not many people interest me, because I find people just bitch about the same things or the only thing they have to talk about is sports team, weather, or TV thing.
People who say I'm quiet, just don't know I hate talking to them. I won't shut up around the 2-3 people I actually like. I never had a problem throwing myself into social settings or just conversing with strangers. I'm typically the one coordinating people to get together.
I'm either the less introvert of the introvert group or maybe I'm a sociopath?
Anyhow I shut down conversations like OP all the damn time, just because I don't want to talk to that person in particular or I'm in a hurry.
Lifts-Her-TailCertainly not, kind sir! I am here but to clean your chambers.
Crantius ColtoIs that all you have come here for, little one? My chambers?
Lifts-Her-TailI have no idea what it is you imply, master. I am but a poor Argonian maid.
Crantius ColtoSo you are, my dumpling. And a good one at that. Such strong legs and shapely tail.
Lifts-Her-TailYou embarrass me, sir!
Crantius ColtoFear not. You are safe here with me.
Lifts-Her-TailI must finish my cleaning, sir. The mistress will have my head if I do not!
Crantius ColtoCleaning, eh? I have something for you. Here, polish my spear.
Lifts-Her-TailBut it is huge! It could take me all night!
Crantius ColtoPlenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time.
Lifts-Her-TailMy goodness, that’s quite a loaf! But how ever shall it fit my oven?
Crantius ColtoThis loaf isn’t ready for baking, my sweet. It has yet to rise.
Lifts-Her-TailIf only we could hurry that along. How would I accomplish such a task?
Crantius ColtoOh, my foolish little Argonian maid, you must use your hands.
Lifts-Her-TailYou wish me to kneed the loaf? Here?
Crantius ColtoOf course.
Lifts-Her-TailBut what if the mistress catches me? Your loaf was meant to satisfy her appetite.
Crantius ColtoDon’t fret, my delicate flower. I’ll satisfy the mistress’s cravings later.
Lifts-Her-TailVery well, but I’m afraid my oven isn’t hot enough. It could take hours!
Crantius ColtoPlenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time.
With pupils that size. This looks like it's going to escalate into blood.
