Writing to be more human

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

What do they got?

A big team, lots of money, a strong brand, seemingly unlimited resources, panache, reputation, all that. They’re established.

They’re your competitors.

You want to look away, but you see them everywhere. Their ads on your social, their name in the media, your dream clients on their website.

But you know what else they got?

Bigger company bloat. Overflowing obligations. Narratives to uphold. Appearances to maintain. Entitlement. Too much overhead.

They’re slow. They’re conservative. They talk too much. They’ve stopped taking risks. They’re resting on their laurels, gliding on their reputation. They’re on defense.

What they’ve really got is a lot to lose.

What do you got?

Hunger. Drive. Grit. Scrappiness. Independence. You’re on offense.

You don’t have enough, which is why you’re dangerous. You have no choice but to be clever and creative. To make up for what you don’t have with something they can’t have: The underdog spirit.

You can move. You can adjust. You can adapt. You can get it done while they’re still stuck deciding what to do.

Small is not a stepping stone. Small is not less than. It’s greater than. It’s faster than. It’s better than.

Savor your position. You don’t get to be the underdog forever. The baton will be passed. But for now, it’s your magic wand. Use it.

We stand with the underdogs.

@tradecoffeeco Why does my taste profile continue to change automatically without my changing it? This is the second time I've seen my queue, thought it didn't fit my settings, and checked to see my taste profile had been updated.

@LastPassHelp I have tried that numerous times because I shutdown my pc every night. It consistently happens every day when I open Chrome again.

[Ty Wilkins @twilkins756]

@beyondimagining @goodreads This is also happening to me. Super annoying.

[Ty Wilkins @twilkins756]

@LastPassHelp How am I suppose to log out of the Chrome app if it won't display the Chrome app when I click on it? This is what it displays when you click on it. All the options, including log out, don't get the chance to even display.

@TwitterSupport Why was the list of "followers you know who follow this person" removed in the app?

@ChilluminatiPod Just spent two hours while eating finding the hidden message lol. I've yet to decode the PS message, though.

@Jay3OW I hope all of you have an awesome time! :)

@TeamYouTube Your most recent update is causing mobile notifs to 1) no longer display the thumbnail, and 2) no longer display the notif options, such as Watch Later.

Chocolate milk is insanely good. Just had some.

4am hits hard sometimes. I'm both lonely and full of love, unsure of anything and yet happy. Where did we come from? Why are we here? I don't know, but I like it. The people are beautiful and the food is delicious.

@palladiummag Very much enjoying 04! Great work all around.

#Ask52 Hey Alex and amazing cohost, I'm still new to DC, but so far I find Batman to be the most interesting character to read and feel that Gotham itself plays a big part in that. What other characters do you think benefit a great deal from the immersion of their city/world?

@Jay3OW DPS, Main tank, Off tank, Support. Long ago, the four elements lived in harmony. Then everything changed when OW2 attacked. Only Jeff, master of all 4 elements could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.

Rooster's Rest is a great work environment for all it's employees 😂

@TeamYouTube Hi, why does the Watch Later playlist page only display a max of 100 vids even if you have more than 100 vids on the playlist? It makes the user think the Watch Later feature isn't adding vids to the list properly.
