It's very convenient that we can just get food delivered by using an app, but is anyone else having little flashbacks to the people in the WALL-E movie? I feel kind of like that's what we're doing

A few days ago I was commenting this with a colleague, I feel that little by little we are turning into those people and I think it is very bad.

idk i feel like maybe we're still a LITTLE far from having space cruises where our lives are carefully dictated by a rogue AI but maybe that's just me

that's kind of the end goal tho no? make everything as convenient as possible with as little effort as possible

I definitely see your point about the WALL-E movie. I feel like we're becoming lazier and more reliant on technology, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

I don't think that using apps to get food delivered is necessarily a bad thing, but I can see how it might be seen as a bit dystopian. After all, it does kind of feel like we're living in a world where everyone is reliant on machines to do everything for them.

far as i can tell, it's still a person bringing me the food. ordering delivery is nothing new is it?

I feel kind of like that's what we're doing. We're relying on technology to do everything for us, and sometimes I worry that we're becoming too reliant on it.

but that's what we developed technology for no? to make our lives easier? should we just stop?

The convenience would be great if we were using that extra time for doing things we love. However, at least for me, it just keeps me focused on work.

I'm in Oklahoma, and an avid Aldi shopper. Prior to COVID, my favorite merlot was routinely stocked there - under $6 a bottle and better than many $30 bottles I've had. It was by Burlwood Cellars. Sadly, supply chain issues have apparently done a number on Aldi's wine selection and it's not carried there anymore. I've searched high and low for a comparable merlot, but to no avail. So I need alternate suggestions or better still, somewhere I can buy my old fav.

Any CPAs out there that decided to buy and run a business? Curious if my theory that after advising businesses how to run efficiently and effectively, that I could fairly easily deploy this experience in an existing business. Obviously I'm not ignorant that there will be obstacles to overcome but ultimately think it would be successful. For added context, I have an MBA, have focused of business development so understand sales and dealing with customers.

Thoughts welcome!

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
