Unfortunately, they expect to be dazzled out of them. This vibe heavy, influencer hyonotized culture has the expectation that the person needs to have rizz galore, be a meme lord, and be photo and quick on the clap backs.
Very little focus on substance, competence and seriousness.

If you want to close the gap between your potential and your reality, stop consuming more information.
Start practicing ONE thing until it becomes embodied competence.
Knowledge is fragile.
Embodied skill is yours forever.

There is a massive distinction between UNDERSTANDING and COMPETENCE.
The mind can understand a concept instantly.
But the body? The body only learns through practice.
And it learns slowly.

I wrote all of that so that my friends don't ever have to watch this show. It's especially pathetic coming straight out of Journal with Witch, which did the exact same core plot with a billion times more competence (and without the creepiness). I was sceptical from the title yet it was worse. 1/10.

If you feel you can't trust your team to execute, stop looking at them.
Look at your onboarding.
Look at your training manuals.
If you haven't built the competence, you haven't earned the right to trust.

It’s incredibly frustrating, largely self inflicted, and a completely wasted opportunity in a season where with just a base level of competence we could have been challenging for a European trophy and a top half league finish.

Ah but there is a thing in it about appointment of Digital Services Coordinators? digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/... failure to appoint one is a breach of obligations under the Act, not a "veto of obligations" - the Commission has competence to regulate the bigger platforms anyway
Digital Services Coordinators
Digital Services Coordinators help the Commission to monitor and enforce obligations in the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Tragically whether we remove Trump or/and Vance, we're left with Mini-Me-Trump Mike Johnson. There is not even one high ranking member of the Trump Administration with any intelligence, decency, competence or qualifications in their positions, let alone being POTUS. That includes Trump.

1) Erreur grossière dans l'article & le débat : la discussion porte sur le *point médian* et non pas sur l'écriture inclusive. Écrire "Madame, Monsieur" est une forme inclusive aussi !

This is so because the government and the police forces/apparatus lacks competence. And then authority. That is why people don't respect it. Just like in Iran. People protest incompetent government. Government responds by killings. Same as here.

You don't have to be a "lefty" or "socialist" to notice the lack of standards, expertise, and competence in contemporary politics-media.
