If You Think You Deserve A Lion, You Probably Deserve A ‘Slashie’

In a hilarious send up to the obscene amount of awards in the advertising industry and the ridiculous length of credits connected to those awards, we have The Slashies. Yes, The Slashies. What’s the award for? According to the intro video, “the most tenuous contributions to an ad campaign.

The Slashies honor the really important stuff like The Stapler guy, Presentation Hijacker, Muffin Eater, Script Yoinker, Pizza Orderer and others.

The funniest part? Even the Slashies video has a credit list a mile long of Slashie wannabes. The best one? Crew Tinder Technician.

Psychology says the people who become genuinely happier in their 60s aren’t the ones who added the most to their lives — they’re the ones who became ruthless about what they removed, who understood that at this point the subtraction is almost always more valuable than the addition, and who stopped treating their time and energy as things available to anyone who asked

Behavioral scientists found that people who arrive at their late 60s with no close friends didn’t lose them through any single rupture — they lost them through the cumulative weight of a hundred small deprioritisations, each completely reasonable, each leaving the friendship slightly thinner, until the connection was so attenuated that neither person could quite remember the last time it had felt real
