No matter what you think of this dude’s plight, what Alex says is dead on. H1B was never intended for and should not be used for any sort of long-term residency and was not created as a path to citizenship.
Annoying
Hindrances
The problem with people who “do their own research” is that most of them aren’t even capable of reading a summary of a scientific paper and understanding it, much less reading the paper itself and making sense of it.
That’s not the only hindrance, of course, but it is a major one.
To “do your own research” in most fields you need about a 140 IQ minimum. The average IQ in the US is 100 and only 0.38% of the population has a 140 or above IQ.
So…good luck with that.
What’s Labor?
Most women almost never count the actual labor men do as labor. According to a terrible ex-girlfriend, these things I did weren’t “real work” because I “enjoyed them” (I did not):
- All car maintenance
- Limb and brush trimming
- Lawn mowing and general lawn/yard maintenance
- Putting together any furniture
- Working with any contractors or other hired help
- Any other minor physical maintenance tasks
- Any highway or other long-distance driving
By the way, in addition to all that, I still washed the dishes and vacuumed roughly 50% of the time and cooked dinner even more than that (she was a bad cook and I am a good one). According to her, though, I did not do enough around the house because I refused to vacuum more than three times a week.
I suspect this mismatch of actual labor and perception of male labor is very common due to all the propaganda women are fed in this arena. Male labor is also mismeasured in the stats pretty consistently.
Chopped
Sort of true, but much of the internet sees women as minors until they are 50. So fucking bizarre.
Sense of Hyp
Ha, yeah. About 80-90% of women go through that cycle. Most people — men and women — are just not very reflective nor very smart.
Shue In
I wouldn’t say “ashamed” but yes, in that era, Elisabeth was considered not heavy but a little chubby.
Shows you how much standards have changed as now women who are clearly obese are called “skinny” by many and sometimes “emaciated.” Anyway, in the film which this still is from Elisabeth Shue — as she typically did then — played the grounded, moral character and a typical American normie girl who was not overly obsessed with her looks and just wanted to have some fun. So that’s why she was just a little chubby (for that time).
She was good in the part, though the film is not that great.
Anyway, now liking any woman under 50 is considered “creepy” by the idiot left, so there’s that.
Pines
There’s at least one abandoned house in our neighborhood. This is an upper middle class area with $700,000+ homes. But it’s California, so what Misha said applies here. We speculate some old person either died or went to Shady Pines and the kids (if any) have no incentive to do anything with the house.
Hiterally Litler
This began on progressive blogs in 2003-2005 timeframe. It got much worse from there, but that’s where it all started. Most people situate this quite incorrectly in time and origin because they were not there.
If you showed up and earnestly asked questions to attempt to learn more, well, that was very bad. You were accused of JAQing off, derailing the conversation, were obviously a terrible progressive if you didn’t already know this stuff, and then you were ridiculed and dismissed. It was even worse if you disagreed in any way. Then they would say you were “literally Hitler” and you’d be immediately banned.
This stunning dismissal of curiosity and allowance of any differing views then managed to metastasize to the entire culture. So now we’re here. But it all began on blogs like Pandagon, Shakesville, and the broader feminist/progressive blogosphere of that era. Those sites did not invent that brand of moralized contempt, of course, but they did mainstream it. They were the leaders of treating any disagreement as malicious, taking any confusion as bad faith, seeing all questions as sabotage, treating curious outsiders as interlopers, and accepting the already-converted as the only legitimate audience.
And from that inauspicious beginning, much that was terrible resulted.
Worlds Apart
Agreed. She looks good in the dress, which is all that matters.
Intent to Steal
Spent 20 hours on a technical test just to be ghosted by a recruiter.
General rule of thumb: Any test relating to a role that takes longer than an hour or so to complete is intended to steal your work and use it somewhere, not to give you a job.
Always push back or outright refuse.
Bach Down
Neither. It’s pure crap.
HOA Whoa
2216 Beach Villas, Captiva, FL 33924 | MLS #2026018912 | Zillow
I was curious how the condo market in Florida was doing. And hot damn, look at that HOA fee. $1,625 a month. Who would buy that? It’s only gonna go up.
Lee
That is indeed why he is hated by the idiot left; he showed the opposite of their nonsense works great.
Spotted
Person at work trying to get me to do their work in HubSpot.
Nope, not gonna happen. I’m not the HubSpot SME nor will I be converted into that. HubSpot has nothing to do with my role.
Valor Pallor
Looking back, the left was cooked when it started valorizing being a fat weak layabout loser rather than having any sort of positive vision for humanity.
How can a movement that has that as their highest aspiration achieve anything worthwhile? Well, it can’t. As can be clearly seen now.
