One of the great parts of having basically no capability for being embarrassed is when someone does attempt to embarrass you, it backfires horribly. At least for them.
It means I also have no stage fright, performance anxiety, or anything like that. To me a talk in front of two people is the same as one in front of two million. I just don’t care.
The H-1B visa program should be ended entirely. Its major purpose is to drive down wages of (mostly) tech workers and has nothing to do with talent. If this were not true, why would companies only post job ads in newspapers no one reads, or on the doors of offices of their campuses (rather than the internet)1?
It’s a scam, a fraud, and should not exist. I agree with Amanda Goodall, though — ending it will just mean more jobs sent overseas. To complement the elimination of the H-1B scam, any American company that sends a job overseas (or is doing work on American account overseas) should pay a 500% yearly tax on that job.
That would pretty much end that.

For Gen Z, any meeting in person, especially at work or from a friend group, is extremely verboten. Also, to them, doing something for any romantic purpose — like taking a class because there’s a girl there you like — is to them automatically unethical and the worst thing in the world.
Of the top 10 ways people used to meet commonly, almost all of them are now considered harassment and abuse by that (completely mentally fucked up) generation. What did we do to them? How will they ever recover? To be honest, I don’t think they will. They are maladapted for everything thanks to social media, smartphones, developmental delays due to helicopter parenting and insulation from the real world. Also, Covid and the non-existent (according to Covidians) lockdowns did not help.
We really did that generation a disservice. We turned them into miserable Church Ladies without even the comfort of religion, degenerating by the light of a smartphone screen.
All Chinese tech companies should be treated as one entity, completely under the control of the CCP. They are legally required to assist in espionage. The Communist party has members in management to monitor their actions. The CCP can torture or kill them, if they don't obey. https://t.co/Axc0dJK5qx

This is true. And is not true of US tech companies, no matter what you’ve read. The Chinese tech companies are quite literally arms of the CCP; Microsoft is not an arm of the CIA.

Definitely worse, and hardly anyone talks about it. Any woman that subjects herself to this is extremely mentally ill (And also undateable, not that this part matters to me. But it does to a lot of people!). Women’s mental health in the US has been destroyed by stimuli they are not prepared to handle.
I love having an absurdly fast network. Wi-fi is for chumps, chimps and donkey rumps. A full 10Gbs network end-to-end is where it’s at. I just transferred an 11GB file in about 10 seconds.

It may feel like it, but no, HR does not sadistically invent imaginary jobs with insane requirements and then purposefully never hire anyone.https://t.co/IxXAy5ltM2 pic.twitter.com/V6knYaoELq

A large part of what CHH writes in the excerpt just isn’t true. Particularly in larger corporations, HR does indeed both create and substantially alter job descriptions for listing after the hiring manager provides some basic requirements. This is why these jobs often require 10 years of experience with a product or technology that has only existed for three years. The hiring manager would never make that mistake. HR, though? They have no idea.
It’s obvious CHH has never worked in a decently large corporation because it’s very common in those that HR is the primary part of the org handling all the job description creation, maintenance, approval and listing on job boards.
Economists are really committed to gaslighting us about housing affordability:
Why, I wonder? I guess it support the status quo, which is their main (and sometimes, only) remit.
Meanwhile, in reality:
It’s because “progressives” are the worst de-growthers and the most ardent NIMBYs at the moment. If it’s anything different than what existed in like 1980, to them it’s very, very bad.
If we don’t help Ukraine evict Russia and keep them out, we’re really gonna regret that. Because then we’ll be fighting in Poland and Germany in 2032.
No good. No good at all.
This is all part of the Gen Z mindset that any attraction or having any relationship expectations at all (especially for men) is equal to objectification and abuse. And it’s pretty anti-human and evil.
