What the Inception fuck is going on?

I had a dream in a dream that I was scared of something. But when I woke up from my sub-dream in into my first-layer dream I thought, “That’s stupid. I’m not scared of that.”

Then I woke up to reality (I hope) and realized both were dreams.

Swung

This is a much more accurate take than the left/liberal asininely assclownish assertion a few years go that “cancel culture does not exist.” Of course it does and did! They were just happy because they were able to cancel people who they feel deserved it while experiencing no consequences themselves. So to them, it didn’t feel like a cancellation when they nuked somebody from orbit but rather, justice.

Now the pendulum has swung the other way as it always does, so it’s seen as a grave affront to truth and righteousness when even a minor cancellation of someone on their team occurs.

People are funny.

Historical Devisionism

I’ve wrote about some other version of this sentiment before, but it’s happened to me a few times. And it’s hilarious.

Like, dude, I was there. Everything you’re saying is 100% wrong. One was arguing with me about how the military operated in the 1990s. And in that case, I was quite literally there. That’s next-level dumbassery.

Say v. Do

This piece is, largely, full of terrible advice. The problem with it is that is a man parroting a woman’s bien pensant tall tales about what she believes about herself. Which, like what most people believe about themselves (men included), is largely false

There is a technique to talking to women which is far more effective. It is called: treat them like a fucking human being. Just actually talk to them. If you must, imagine that they are a man and then talk to them the way you would in that scenario.

Oh my fucking god that so does not work. That’s the quickest way to failure known, especially in any kind of dating or romantic context. Yes, yes, treat women human beings. But the problem here is that a woman is not a man. Treating her like one will lead to nothing but, well…nothing. Certainly no romantic spark if that’s what you’re looking for.

This is a version of listening to what women say rather than observing what they do. And those things do not match at all.

The article is either full of obvious platitudes or worthless drivel otherwise. Typical for “dating advice” of this type.

FTFO

Women always be like, “Women get rejected too!” Sure they do. About 1/500 to 1/10,000 as much as men do, depending on their level of extroversion and attractiveness.

It’s not even vaguely comparable. But women have no idea, because why would they? It’s not in their experience so they think they know. But they don’t. Like most things it’s easy to believe some stupid shit until you’re on other side (like FTM trans people).

And then you find the fuck out.

Composing

Chill Amusing, Annoying

Sysadmins thrown into customer calls โ€“ how do you stay composed?

I’m composed by nature, but it’s easy. When you don’t know something (which is always, always gonna happen on customer calls), say: “I don’t know the answer to that, but will find out and get back to you.”

Easy. Super easy. And then research with the relevant team, FAQ or whatever and actually follow up.

A junior of mine was shadowing me on a customer call once and was flabbergasted that I said, “I don’t know” to half a dozen questions. However, when I’d tried letting her have a crack at answering on another customer call, she couldn’t handle it and threw out tons of fabricated and incorrect responses that I later had to walk back. Or she otherwise flubbed them.

This is infinitely worse than just saying, “I don’t know.”

Because trust me, customers are always going to come up with some wild-ass crap ain’t nobody ever thought of before.

It’s fine to research and answer later. I do it with nearly every customer call and I know a fucking lot about a lot.
