Oh no. An I old now?
I have a flash drive somewhere with a bunch of demotivational posters on it. One day, I’ll stop being lazy and find it.
But how do you find the motivation to find them
Somehow, much like the show itself, this meme refuses to die. A real winner
You’re the olympic mascot!
Pedobear!
Tsk tsk tsk… That’s how he gets ya…
In case anyone wants to know why, IIRC that format was popularized online by the Despair Inc demotivational posters of the 2000s.
Which themselves satirized the banal and pompous business inspo decor of the dotcom six sigma era that was ubiquitous on the walls of fart whiffer conference rooms, executive offices, and the like.
Oh man I thought six sigma was a funny thing that 30 rock came up with, but it’s actually real?
It’s really, and is still very much a thing.
And they really do have a “belt” system. Because of some bullshit ai had to do at an old job, I’m a Six Sigma Yellow Belt. I’ve never had my time wasted more.
There are still some six sigma adherents in existence. We haven’t managed to kill them all off yet.
Oh damn, you’re right! Apparently still a thing.
I’m not old enough to have used it but I read the ISO about DMAIC at some point and my impression was that, as with agile and other hype-jerk methodologies, there are some legit useful ideas to learn from at the start.
But once middle managers start treating it like a religion and pumping certifications it’s time to call the honey wagon.
Six sigma is literally a methodology based on reducing defects on the production scale of millions. Not every business is a high-volume manufacturer, and there’s no reason to treat them that way
And back then they weren’t called “memes” but we called them (de)motivational pictures
What, this is considered old now? Old memes aren’t even images, they’re just ASCII art. Also HTTPS wasn’t a thing back then. Everything on the web transferred in cleartext, which is pretty crazy from today’s perspective.

Man, I still remember the days before firesheep when you could get up to all kinds of fuckery if you knew what you were doing.
Also, completely baffled me that someone thought it was a good idea to only use HTTPS for auth and leave the secure cookie traveling in the clear.
