    So, research shows that everyone’s voice inside their head, no matter who they are or where they’re at, is profoundly negative.

    Also, you don’t have to believe it–which is oversimplifying, but that’s the jist of it.

    It’s not at all unusual.




  • The sword was a sidearm. It was a trusty companion you had on you everyday to demonstrate your wealth and power and to be drawn in your defense if need be.

    When it was time for battle, your sword would still be at your side, but in your hands would be some sort of polearm or perhaps an axe.

    Also, commonly used but often forgotten about is a falchion. It was a sidearm that looked like a sword but did not require all the training in swordsmanship to be effective. Instead of being balanced like a sword to enhance the point control, a falchion was point heavy (like a machete) and swung like a hatchet.


  • XP was a disaster, security-wise. Vista was better conceptually but the tech was undercooked and win7 was basically a re-skin of vista plus some extra maturity due to time.

    Then, there’s the entirety of the situation around those releases. Microsoft was so mismanaged under Ballmer that even though Windows 7 was maybe their best OS, it completely missed the smartphone revolution and set them back about a decade until they could be re-spun as a cloud technologies company.

    Imagine how huge they’d be if they had successfully leveraged their desktop and business dominance to force their way on top of the mobile world.

    Tl:dr Win7 was both Microsoft’s best and worst product of all time.
