Smurph Them

Not having files is one of the reasons I hate walled devices in general. All smartphones should die. Files are vastly superior. Much easier to find your data, especially if you have more than a few dozen of something to manage.

It’s funny watching Gen Zers get comically lost when they enter the corporate world and have more than 10 items to deal with, for which files and standard file systems are vastly more efficient. Their brains are not able to handle that complexity as they are accustomed to click and drool interfaces.

All Peeps

All the people who do nothing while working from home are the same ones who do not a goddamn thing in the office as well. It’s just that there, they are better at hiding their lassitude by gladhanding, ass-kissing and faking being busy.

A lot of managers just crave a false sense of control. In my experience, a crap worker is a crap worker anywhere. The noisy extroverts, though, hide it better.

Officiousness

I am so fucking glad no one can ever make me go into an office again. I have a combination of skills and certs that maybe 0.0001% of my peers have to my level, and that means I can demand a lot of things. So I will and I do.

And my expenses are only about $800 per month. Can’t nobody make me do shit. I spent my life doing smart enough things to get to this point. Many, many people said I could not get here, yet here I am.

Bully for me!

Resolve

It’s an odd idea that because some women get bothered sometimes in public by the worst 1% of serial-harassing men, that no one should talk to anyone in public ever.

We always seem to come up with the most dumbass and harmful solutions possible to problems that are in fact easily solvable.

CSN

I’ve also noticed that people have enormous difficulty understanding COL variance. It’s a bit mystifying. Of course you’re doing fine on your $60K a year in Crotch Shot, Nebraska. Houses are nearly free, hamburgers grow out of the dirt, and you can trade some empty Coke bottles for land. To show that I’m only exaggerating a little, here is a dead average house in York, NE. It’s $200K. In San Jose, that house would be $2 million. And if you don’t mind really living in the sticks (to most people in Silicon Valley, York would be the sticks) you can find a quite nice-looking place in Nebraska on nearly a third of an acre for $130K. Or you could buy 77 acres of land with a house and two outbuildings in Nebraska for $1.3 million. How much you reckon that’d set you back in San Jose?

There will be not-as-large but still quite notable variance in food pricing, gas costs, taxes, etc., between somewhere like York and San Jose. And people just have loads of trouble understanding anything about this.

Humans are more cognitively limited in the general case than we like to admit.

No Reg

I think it also bothers people I that I am self-elevating, not self-deprecating. You’re just not supposed to do that. It’s seen as dรฉclassรฉ. As unkind. As being a bully (for some reason).

But doing things and being things I was not supposed to do or to be is how I escaped North Florida and I regret fucking nothing. Often, I was the only one elevating myself. For many, many years literally everyone else including my own goddamn family was telling me how much I sucked and how terrible I was.

And I won in life because I had a big ego, a strong sense of self, or whatever you choose to call it. I personally don’t give a single shit what it’s called, however. I lived because I persevered against very long odds through all of that absolute hell with that overlarge ego. And with a little help from my friends.

Again Again

iโ€™ve been a 23 year old girl and i can tell you it….

God, this is fucking moronic.

What heterosexual men want is the feeling of being desired for once in their lives. And to be appreciated just for existing as women are. FUCK. How is that not obvious? The average man receives zero compliments (maybe one a decade if he’s lucky), zero desire and zero attention, except perhaps to be told he’s creepy for even besmirching the universe with his mere presence.

Fucking Christ, this shit is so heinous and makes me (and many men) so angry. So many women are so little capable of any empathy toward men. It’s disturbing.
