Just to be clear about something, I am indeed very good at the “IT” part of the IT field, but the reason I’ve succeeded so well over the years is that I don’t have the social skills of a wanky dipshit, unlike a lot of folks in my field.
If you have decent social skills and are a good writer or communicator, you’re already at least 70% of the way to success in any career.
People are really surprised that Lupita Nyong’o didn’t receive an Oscar nomination for her performance in Us?
In case no one noticed, Us was a horror film, which other than for effects nearly never get nominated for anything in any Oscar category. That it happened to be by far the best movie released in 2019 doesn’t matter a whit. The snub had nothing to do with racism and everything to do with general anti-horror attitudes.
You know, I heard this, but I didn't realize HOW bad it was until recently, being out of the country for an extended period of time. https://t.co/fNhiz1Sy3z

I’m always utterly shocked and disappointed when I return to the US from an overseas trip and have to eat American food again. We have the worst food culture and the lowest-quality food in the entire world.
