Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa feat. Bruno Mars
So what we get drunk?
So what we smoke weed?
We're just having fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out?
That's how it's supposed to be
Living young and wild and free
Uh, Uh huh
So what I keep 'em rolled up?
Saggin' my pants, not caring what I show
Keep it real with my niggas
Keep it player for these hoes
And look clean don't it?
Washed it the other day, watch how you lean on it
Give me some 501 jeans on it
Roll joints bigger than King Kong's fingers
And smoke them hoes down 'til they stingers
You a class clown and if I skip for the day
I'm with your bitch smokin' grade A
You know what?
It's like I'm 17 again
Peach fuzz on my face
Lookin', on the case
Tryna find a hella taste
Oh my god, I'm on the chase, Chevy
It's gettin' kinda heavy, relevant, sellin' it
Dippin' away, time keeps slippin' away
Zip in the safe, flippin' for pay
Tippin' like I'm drippin' in paint
Up front, four blunts, like, 'Khalifa put the weed in a J'
So what we get drunk?
So what we smoke weed?
We're just having fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out?
That's how it's supposed to be
Living young and wild and free
And I don't even care
Cause if me and my team in there
There's gonna be some weed in the air

Tell 'em Mac
Blowin' everywhere we goin' and now you knowin'
When I step right up, get my lighter so I can light up
That's how it should be done
Soon as you thinkin' you're down
Find how to turn things around
Now things are lookin' up
From the ground up, pound up, this Taylor Gang
So turn my sound up and mount up and do my thang
Now I'm chillin', fresh outta class, feelin'
Like I'm on my own and I could probably own a building
Got my own car, no job, no children
Had a science project, me and Mac killed it
T-H-C, M-A-C, D-E-V, H-D-3, high as me
This is us, we gon' fuss
And we gon' fight and we gon' roll
And live off life
So what we get drunk?
So what we smoke weed?
We're just having fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out?
That's how it's supposed to be
Living young and wild and free
Yeah, roll one, smoke one
When you live like this you're supposed to party
Roll one, smoke one, and we all just having fun
So we just, roll one, smoke one
When you live like this you're supposed to party
Roll one, smoke one, and we all just having fun
So what we get drunk?
So what we smoke weed?
We're just having fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out?
That's how it's supposed to be
Living young and wild and free.
Are We Really Having Fun at Bars or Just Escaping Reality?
Taking a hard look at how we socialize helps us spend time the way we truly want.
The coronavirus pandemic gave us a pause to ask ourselves if we really should go back to the old way of doing things.
For example, many people ditched their traffic-snarled commutes for work-from-home jobs.
The pandemic also drastically altered our social lives. When bars, restaurants, and most other venues shut down, many resorted to catching up with friends and family over video calls or by taking socially distant walks.
While Zoom calls leave much to be desired, it’s worth asking whether the pre-pandemic way of socializing over drinks was much better.
Asking ourselves some potentially uncomfortable questions about the way we get together could help us make important changes now that the world is entering the new normal
The Sober Test
Why do we go to bars?
Of course, not everyone does, but according to a 2017 report, 51 percent of Americans age 21 to 26 typically go to a bar at least once per week, followed by 42 percent of all millennials, 24 percent of Generation Xers, and 19 percent of baby boomers.
Before rushing back to our local hangouts or standing in lines behind velvet ropes, perhaps it’s worth asking what bars are really for.
For many people, bars and booze serve as the original Tinder or Grinder, a socially acceptable way to shop for a mate. But not everyone in a bar is on the prowl. Some will tell you they go out for drinks to just unwind and have fun.
That’s certainly true, but is there a deeper reason
There’s a simple test to find out.
Two years ago, I decided to stop drinking. While giving up booze has had many benefits, one significant downside is that many things I had previously found fun now seem downright boring. Going to a bar or nightclub sober, for example, suddenly became exceptionally dull.
I call this the sober test: To test if you actually enjoy something, you have to try it sober. If you only find it fun while under the influence, it’s likely the substance more than the experience that you enjoy.
The same test can be applied to all kinds of activities—and even to your relationships.
Do you still enjoy your time with that friend or lover when you’re both sober? And while I hate to be a buzzkill, you may find that other things you thought you genuinely enjoyed are mostly just an excuse to drink.
Take spectator sports. Can you get through nine innings of a baseball game sober? Ever tried watching golf without a drink? Good luck.
Of course, some sports fans love the intricacies of the game enough to get through it dry—more power to them! But I sure couldn’t.
I wasn’t alone. One study found 40 percent of spectators at baseball and football games are on the sauce. Another poll found that 8 out of 10 Americans watch sports on TV at home with a drink in their hand.
Many people can’t dance unless they’re drunk. Fellow members of the self-conscious club have been having trouble letting loose for thousands of years. The Roman philosopher Cicero said more than 2,000 years ago, “Almost nobody dances sober unless they happen to be insane.”
What about karaoke? When was the last time you got on stage sober to sing a cringe-worthy rendition of “Don’t Stop Believin”? Hmmm.
I wonder why that is.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with any of these pastimes. I’m no prohibitionist or killjoy. Sports, dancing, and singing are wonderful, and we should all enjoy them more often, not less.
But if these activities are inherently fun, which I believe they can be, why do so many of us need to drink to do them? Something’s amiss.
Too often, what’s really driving us is a need for escapism promoted by the multibillion-dollar liquor industry that relies on selling an illusion.
Is It Fun, or Is It Escapism?
Just because an activity isn’t fun sober doesn’t mean it doesn’t serve a purpose. If the sober test revealed that something you thought you liked is not intrinsically fun, maybe you’re drawn to that activity for another reason.
Perhaps when you combine the activity with alcohol, it becomes a permissible way for you to avoid reality, forget your problems for a while, and act in ways you can’t without booze.
Bars and booze makers are happy to serve you a “cup of cheer.” In fact, bars are designed to be boring if you’re sober, providing all the more incentive to keep drinking. Think of all the ways bars are built to get patrons to imbibe:
They turn down the lights because studies show doing so gets us to drink more in less time.
The music is so loud that it not only impedes any conversation below a shout but also impairs our hearing. If you can’t have a conversation, what else are you going to do? Drink, of course!
Every aspect of the bar design, from the counter height to the kind of stools or chairs, helps to draw in people and keep them guzzling.
Despite all the obvious and not-so-obvious ways bars are built to send as much drink down our throats as possible, the onus is still on us. These businesses are giving patrons what they want: a socially acceptable way to get out of their own heads.
And that’s okay! (To an extent.) People have been changing their states of consciousness for a long time, whether through meditation, ayahuasca ceremonies, prayer, reading books, or watching TV.
Using an activity to get out of your headspace and into a different reality for a while is fine. But let’s be honest about why we do it rather than give it a bogus veneer.
Choose Better Fun
Knowing that some things we do are more for escapism than for fun, we can ask ourselves two things:
1. Why do I need this escape?
The craving for distraction is caused by an internal trigger, or negative feeling, that we wish to escape. By naming the preceding internal trigger, we can identify when we’re feeling something that won’t be solved by escaping reality.
Did you have a grueling week at work and just want to blow off some steam? Have at it!
Or, maybe it goes deeper than that. Maybe this bad week at work wasn’t a one-off, and your job hasn’t been bringing you enjoyment or satisfaction recently. In that case, escaping reality in a bar isn’t going to solve the problem.
It may be time to take action rather than trying to numb the pain.
2. Are there better ways?
As the pandemic has shown us, there are other things we can do with our time and money. There’s an entire world beyond the bar!
For example, the U.S. National Park Service reported that May 2021 saw the highest ever number of recorded visits to Yellowstone National Park for the month of May. Other national parks saw similar spikes in attendance.
After months of being confined to indoor spaces alone, people were rediscovering that the outdoors can also provide an escape, without chemical enhancements.
Perhaps the next time you reflexively find yourself drifting toward a watering hole, you’ll find something more creative to do than drinking?
Maybe you’ll ask a friend to go on a walk-n-talk through a local park? How about joining a sports league to meet other singles and play together instead of mindlessly staring at the action on TV? Perhaps you’ll take a dance lesson so you’ll know what you’re doing on the dance floor?
By understanding our deeper motivations and understanding why we really do what we do, we can make sure we spend our time, and our lives, the way we want to.

After Kublog took interview with a feminist in Kublog's texts, feminitives began to be used in principle and now the executive director is called the executive director. It sounds scary, but such are the rules of the game.

Has the structure of the labor market changed in any way since February? After mobilization?
The market has not changed much. Suddenly there were no more or less candidates. Rather, the question arose with the remote format of work. That is, employees are ready to go out, there are many of them, but they are increasingly considering remote work.
"Clerk" discusses this openly with everyone, and that's ok.
The person says: guys, I'm considering moving to Turkey for three months with my family. And we no longer discuss with him whether he will return or not. It does not matter. It is important that we work with him remotely. nine0009
So you are starting to think about relationships with team members in the short term (for example, three months)?
We simply accept reality as it is. We are redesigning processes so that it is easy for us to work.
What exactly needs to be rebuilt?
First of all, it concerns the processes of interaction with the team. It's one thing when we are all in the office, and everyone can approach any employee at any time, ask questions, and quickly resolve them. Another thing is remoteness. Not everyone is ready for the discipline it requires. nine0009
Let's say you have an online meeting: you have to prepare for it, read the material, be collected, and not be late.
The office is still at some points, no matter what they say - this is a more light work.
Are teleworkers helping companies cut costs?
Well, for some companies, yes, this is relevant. At a minimum, when recruiting new people, there is no expansion of space, no need to buy equipment and technology.
We are now creating remote sales departments - and do not buy laptops, headsets, do not pay for tea, coffee, and so on. That is, the costs are much less. But you need to be prepared for certain difficulties. nine0009
In order to recruit a remote sales team this October, we conducted 78 initial interviews with candidates in a week. After we appointed a group interview, then invited to training. And now we take 78 guys who were interested in our offer, who are now ready to go to work. How many of them do you think are left?
Little?
Only five people: trained and ready to sell. Although we did not refuse any of the candidates.
That is, in all cases there was self-withdrawal.
The reasons are different. But the bottom line is that the remote format of work requires readiness. This is not freelancing, not work from time to time, not "when I want - then I do it." In our case, this is a full-time work day with tasks and checkpoints, and we look at the result a person gives. nine0009
You created a remote sales department three times before this October. And he fell apart. You talked about it on social media.
The previous three times it was, I think, due to unpreparedness on our part. We didn't think of adaptation.
How to make an employee on the other side of the world feel involved in the company? We weren't ready for this at the time.
And now?
And now we are ready. We thought of everything from the first meeting.
Whole scenario. nine0009
For example, there is an online meeting in teleconference mode. What is your background, mood? It is important for me to show that we are a dynamic company - how can I convey this?
I say hello and walk through our office. It is important for me to show movement in the frame so that there is not wallpaper on the back (hello guys, this is such a boring life we have), I change the angle, I follow my voice, my intonation. I prepare questions about people - so that they exhale and understand: it's good here, we are exactly the company with which they will go for many years to high results. nine0009
All this should be wrapped up in the first meetings. Online meetings.
All materials that we give candidates for preparation, all communication scenarios - everything is very much about people. Each letter sent by him is thought out: how a person, sitting in his apartment, will perceive our appeal. Here you need to invest a lot of love, warmth, this is very important for immersion in work.
And when we created the right atmosphere, when people feel like a team, they are interested in us, they read the posts in the Tribune about our company, looked at our reports, made sure that we are not talking empty words, everything that is really important to us happens in the company - then a work task is set. nine0009
That is, we are not just a community: we get together, have fun, communicate. We are still talking about money. And it is important for us to get results. This part is already easy to deal with. And with part of the adaptation was more difficult. But we have solved this problem.
Is the new department already open?
We completed it. One Remote Sales Office. Three are planned.
How many people are there?
One team leader and six managers. Tomorrow they start selling. None of them dropped out in the process of training, everyone was very interested.
There were intermediate cuts, tests - and they worked very well at the training stage. Better than the office even. Therefore, we will apply the training technology in the office. Now the task is to staff and launch two more remote departments. nine0009

How else does Clerk react to mobilization? In general, many left?
We didn't have guys who were mobilized, which I'm very glad about. But there are those who have made the decision to move. Okay, we support them.
In terms of recruitment, I will not dissemble that there is no question: what about a military ID? But in this case, they openly tell me: nothing, or something. In general, I personally did not have situations when a person said that he was hiding or looking for how to solve this issue. nine0009
Reading HR communities and chats, I know that there are companies that had a hard time when they had their employees mobilized. Especially if these are people who held leadership positions with some serious tasks - it was painful, downright painful for everyone.
But, you know, for two weeks everyone was shocked, everyone was worried (including personnel officers: what to do, how to draw up), and then, as if there was a lull and adaptation.
Do you have forms of support for the team in times of stress? nine0037
I don't like this question. You mean stress? It seemed to us that after February, what could be worse. And it turned out?
How we support: we talk, we discuss. But we try not to go into the negative - so that a person does not become isolated in the worthlessness of life.
There are forecasts that now, due to the departure of part of the male population, there will be an adjustment in the labor market, women will come to places where they are used to seeing men. Do you think this will happen?
Will not happen. Yes, there were messages in the HR telegram communities: we are looking for a person for a vacancy - preferably a woman. But singular. I don't think there will be shifts in the labor market.
nine0009
And I won't hire a woman if I actually need a man.
When do you need a man?
For example, are you going to hire a woman for the vacancy of a locksmith?
Well, quite.
Well, no. You will not.
I won't be a loader.
I have worked with different managers and I know that when drawing up a portrait of a person for a position on the question of who they see, who they want to work with, many managers for a managerial position often consider only men. Why? Decrees, children, diseases. nine0009
Now, of course, there are jokes that a woman on maternity leave is more desirable for employers than a man of an age suitable for mobilization. But in fact, I think there will be no bias.

There are a lot of women in the media. I think it has to do with wages. In general, in our country, women receive an average salary of 30% less than men. Do you think the mobilization will affect the increase in wages for women or not? nine0037
I agree with this statistic.
Women receive less than men. But, my personal belief, the problem here is in women. To sum it up: we value ourselves this way.
What we ask is what we receive. And often we ask less than men. Or we just thought about everyone, but about ourselves - last. But I am absolutely convinced that if a woman wants, she can get much more than a man, and nothing will stop her.
When selecting people for positions in the same sales department, I don't care if the candidate is a man or a woman. Experience, mutual understanding, interest in work are important to me. nine0009
But in my little statistics for October 2022, out of 20 sales manager candidates that I looked at, women asked for a higher salary than men, their expectations are higher. Such a private situation.
Maybe salaries are just rising? Do they grow in Krasnodar?
Depending on who we are talking about. Accounting is growing: chief accountants, financial directors. The HR sphere is falling - they were at their peak right after February.
But HRs always throw from side to side, you need to seize the moment. Heads of departments of sales have fallen on salaries. However, there is no such trend that salaries are growing. I don't feel it. nine0009
Prices are rising, salaries are standing?
Standing.
Why did HRs jump after February?
I do not associate this with the events of February. The demand for these specialists, in principle, has periods of seasonality.
Do you know that there are no layoffs in companies from December to the end of February? Not from employers, not from employees. Because everyone is waiting for something. January, February - everyone sits back, they are afraid to change something. But as soon as it starts to warm up, changes occur in people's lives. Everyone makes some decisions. And at this moment, there is a need for HR and recruiters: guys, let's urgently look for people. This is fine. nine0009
But if you want to change the company now, in autumn, it will be more difficult.
Beautiful word "HR" (from HR - human resources literally "human resources" - ed.). Is the Soviet “personnel officer” still in use?
In use. But personnel is registration in accordance with labor legislation, checks, document flow. And HR is personnel management: selection, interviews, adaptation, evaluations. These are living people. It may be that one specialist combines both of these tasks. But most of the time they are different people. And if you say “personnel officer” to the HR, he will be offended. nine0009
