I don’t know where you’re at in your career but as an older millenial genx or boomers complaining about your work ethic is a joke dude. They ran these companies into the fucking ground lmao. When I was younger I kind of liked that office space ‘nothing matters’ affect but man, you do not want to work with/rely on those people at all.

Was kinda nice seeing the shift to writing think pieces about zoomers after all the shit they talked about millennial over the years but they’ll move on. Just ignore it. But seriously watch these people at work they’re useless. My parents paid for college with a summer job; I worked 40+ hour weeks in high-school. There’s no comparison on work ethic here

Man I must be around a lot of shitheads I’d say at least a half dozen times

Yeah the place I’m at now was like ‘great your somebody that we can move around/learn things’

You can just change careers whenever. No one cares. When I was younger it seemed so set in stone like you learn a trade you’re a plumber for life. Go to college your major is what you’re doing for life. It’s not true I knew a philosophy major that was working as an elevator engineer. Do HVAC for 20 years then do something else. It’s fine

I didn’t turn it off but that scene in Farha with the baby was brutal when you have one in the room with you

Ah to be a teenager again

Learned about it when they banned chapo. The chapo fork wasn’t a good fit for me. Mostly hang out on twitter and use this to post articles or look for longer discussion

Idk its pretty easy I’m usually tired and bored as shit

Open but these fire comments have me reevaluating

Correct

Was talking to my friend about this the other day in the context of trade school but I think it applies here: you can change careers whenever you want. When we were younger it felt like such a big decision to pick a trade or in this case a major because it seemed like you were locking in for life, but you can just like… go do something else. No one cares. Someone wanted to hire me as an engineer the other day and I struggled to graduate high-school. Education is kind of a shotgun approach. You get a really broad understanding of a lot of thing because your actual job will probably only use a fraction of it and they’re trying to prepare you to not be completely lost wherever you end up.

Also old teachers are really lazy and the test is probabaly pretty similar, if not identical, to the one they gave last year. Good to know people a little older or save things for your younger siblings.

What you’re too fancy to divide by 25.4 or multiply by .0397?

I started finding gray hairs around then

Anytime

Seems like I’m getting 3 reactions to this map:

• Neat map
• I don’t understand this map
• I will find you and kill your family for this crime against data

Every single home is in the northeast

I apparently was too stupid to find the thing that teaches you how to craft in thebvery beginning, as well as the first boss, so I ended up wandering around grinding until I killed the second boss first. Idk man those games just aren’t for me

You ever read that red sails ‘brainwashing isn’t real’ article? Similar premise, similar conclusion.

Basically guy was spending a lot of time debunking anti China stuff and getting frustrated. Realized really the propaganda isn’t very sophisticated, wasn’t hard to debunk in most cases. So saying people are fooled is kind of a cop out, underselling their intelligence maybe flattering your own. They’re buying in consciously or otherwise because they see the benefit from siding with the propagandist.

Idk was an interesting read for me at least. If you can’t get past the writing style these points are more or less where he ends up:

Stop accusing the masses of being “brainwashed.” Stop treating them as cattle, stop attempting to rouse them into action by scolding them with exposure to “unpleasant truths.”

Accept instead that they have been avoiding those truths for a reason. You were able to break through the propaganda barrier, and so could they if they really wanted to. Many of these people see you as the fool, and in many cases not without reason.

Understanding people as intelligent beings, craft a political strategy that convincingly makes the case for why they and their lot are very likely to benefit from joining your political project. Not in some utopian infinite timescale, but soon.

If you cannot make this case, then forget about convincing the person in question. Focus instead on finding other people to whom such a case can be made. This will lead you directly to class analysis.

One time I wrote a desperate email to my English teacher. Let me do some extra credit anything to not take the class again. He corrected all my spelling and grammar mistakes, attached a picture of my attendance record, and told me to go fuck myself

Yep feelin pretty dumb
