  Jeffrey A Tucker (@jeffreytucker) reported 11 minutes ago

  Thirty years ago was a turning point in office culture. AOL Instant Messenger came out. I noticed that all my employees were using it. Actual work came to a standstill. I was outraged – this struck me as time theft – but decided it would be better to allow the work ethic to re-emerge organically rather than act like a dictatorial central planner. Some network computer consultant came in and wanted to set everyone up with a centrally controlled machine over which only one machine would have administrative rights. I said no and essentially had everyone use a personal computer instead. All these years, I've always insisted on owning my own machine in every work environment, even forwarding all work email to a single account managed by me personally. Apparently I was a real outlier here. As it turns out, the centralizers won corporate culture completely. Today every decent-sized company demands that all employees use office machines, building a huge and thick wall between personal and company time. No more social media. No more app control. No more texting except for office texts and platforms. Forget work/life balance. On company time and in company space, there is only the company. Companies today won't even let employees check personal email on office machines. It's become extreme. I'm actually shocked by this in retrospect. I had bet that individualism would triumph – everyone would own their own and cooperate with others but in a decentralized way – but I was completely wrong. Now offices are surveillance-based police states and you have to sneak look at your phone even to have a life outside of work. This is something I never would have predicted. It's no wonder everyone hates work these days.

  In the early 2000s we had gotten an extremely ****** Gateway computer that my parents snagged from a Rent-A-Center. I'm pretty sure when we got it, it had already been pretty dated, but damn was it awesome playing stuff like Diablo online for the first time with AOL and being disconnected every time someone called the house phone. I miss it but I also do not want to ever experience that **** ever again lmao.

  @AndrewYang He would have, it was TW/AOL that sold WCW. Ted would have never gotten rid of it, he was a legit fan.

  @kurt13warner @RamsNFL Honestly, it's way worse today because everyone is used to being anonymous. It's brings out the worst in people and they're not scared to say ANYTHING. I was around for AOL online. Chat rooms and theywere always positive.

  Scavage (@Scavage18) reported 26 minutes ago

  In 2002, both my screen name on AOL and my "pk" username on MUDs (multi user dungeons) was "Scavage". The latter was a kayfabe heel, kind of an *******, and retired in 2002. "scavage18" is because in 2020, I thought I needed that ******* back.
