why do people hate vegans so much?

Have you ever met one? About 90% of them are huge assholes. It’s like because they think they are (fake) virtuous in one area, it gives them carte blanche to be mega-jerks everywhere else. And, relatedly, they are almost all sanctimonious pricks.

The best argument against veganism is vegans themselves.

Sick and tired of this silo crap.

It’s not all silo crap. It’s the younger level of techs simply has not had the ability to learn to troubleshoot. Most of them did not grow up with computers (if they are ~35 or below) and just have too little experience to be effective. Sure, you can learn, but it takes time.

Techs in my age range and older often started troubleshooting compy shit from age 5-10 and so by the time we hit the workforce we had years of experience already to build from and on. The techs now have only drooled in front of tablets and often haven’t used a real computer before getting into IT, which they only entered because it pays well.

I know that “anyone can do anything” liberals hate it, but the reality is that someone who has used a computer since an early age and has had to make it work for 10 years is gonna be way more effective than someone who has done three months of A+ training and that’s it. That’s actual life and not the dreamworld some people want to live in.

Modern younger (which these mostly would be) techs cannot troubleshoot a goddamn thing in my experience. I often solve problems in minutes that lower-level techs have been working on for weeks or months (and in one case, years).

I did 135 total pushups this evening in three sets.

Damn I love being strong again and looking like a million bucks. It fucking kicks so hard. Anyone who tells you this is too much work, they just want you to wallow in the muck with the rest of the hogs. Don’t fall for it.

Everyone should take their chance to fucking rock the mic like a vandal.

Russia started this war with an attempt to capture the entire country of Ukraine, not just a strip of territory along the edge.

Exactly. So it’s an absurd lie when complete clowns like Ian Welsh say Russia is winning/has won. That’d like if I enter a 500-meter race, go the first 100 meters, fall down, flail a bit, then stand up and declare victory for myself.

That’s not winning. Obviously. Why do so many people rely on dumbasses to tell them what to believe?

Wow, YouTube must’ve changed their recommendation algo significantly. It actually surfaces stuff I like pretty consistently now and that I haven’t seen or heard before.

Something that actually benefits me from a large tech company? What happened?

Wow that’s really good. Has just enough death metal stuff going on to make it interesting but not enough to ruin the song with pointless oddball roaring.

I am incredibly terrible at logic puzzles. A company event had some we did as a group. Of the eight of them we did, even after the answers were given I could not understand why those were the answers or how they derived from the clues. And I know I never would be able to even given infinite time.

In my life I think I might’ve understood one logic puzzle. And it was aimed at six-year-olds.

Return-to-Office Mandates Are a Disaster for Working Mothers. Remote work brought record numbers of women into the labor pool. Why give back those gains?

It brought record numbers of disabled people into the workforce, too.

RTO mandates are a disaster for everyone and will lead to lower productivity and a worse economy. But Boomer MBA types absolutely fucking love to see butts in seats. It’s how they get their kicks and it’s a lot harder to torture and harass someone over Zoom. That’s what they care about in reality — it has little to nothing to do with anything else.

Others groveling is their love language. Many of them would tank their entire companies if they could get people to be subservient to them in the office. And some of them will do just that.

Men,what was the best revenge you’ve ever gotten?

Some girl with an insecure boyfriend lied about our friendship and her brother started harassing me and then threatening my co-worker and her kids. So I:

1) Got him fired from his job.

2) Got his car towed and the beginning of expensive repairs started on it (not sure what happened after that).

3) Disconnected his cable.

The coup de grâce of course was the firing. He had a cushy and well-compensated job at Microsoft and he threw it all away. I only did what I did after he (the brother) started threatening a co-worker of mine and her kids because she was defending me against the lies this woman told about me. If he just had been threatening me, whatever. But he forced my hand. And lived to regret it.

I was going to do more but he begged me to leave him alone after that. And I follow the way of the rapper The Game, who said when someone begs for mercy, that mean the beef is over.

I told the harassing idiot that if I ever heard one more even hint of a threat against my co-worker or her kids again, I would not stop till he had nothing left in this life

Never heard a peep after that.
