@miyagiyoda
Maybe what you said was the case at one point or in your industry

But in my field it's just way for HR to justify their fake jobs and tp humiliate employees

Companies do team building backwards and wonder why it doesn't work.

If we work well together then I MIGHT be interested in a personal relationship with you.

I'm not interested in making friends with dumb, lazy, obese normies

No amount of "Team building" exercises or pizza parties will ever change that.

The correct way to do team building is to give a day off to the team if the project is completed early.

Then if we so desire we will meet up instead of this inorganic nonsense we have now.

It just makes me so sad because I wanted to prove the boomers wrong when it came to crypto and it just..

let's just say the boomers are up right now.

GOD I HATE admitting boomers were right but it's not looking good rn 😫

One thing that stands out to me Mastodon > Twitter is the depth of conversation.

I regularly see someone boost an old post of mine 15+ messages deep.

This NEVER happened on Twitter.

After ~36 hours their thread was dead

@shortstories

That's just called letting them live with you basically.

It just threw me off that people that I thought were working just as hard as me had their lifestyle subsidized by their parents that's all

@doggel

I agree with you in principles, but in this specific case it didn't make me sad as much as it just surprised me lol I didn't know parents did that.

I just assumed everyone was busting their ass like me

> if there must be taxes

Yes there has to be taxes. I don't like it either but that's how it has to be.

The Ancap fantasy is just that. A fantasy.

You either going to be paying governments or local warlords.take your pick

@basedbagel You used to be in a bad economic position, then you compared yourself to others, and now you are both in a bad economic position AND miserable. And all that for people who don't even care about you.

Also, if you focus on what you lack, you will miss what you have. There are people out there who have to survive with less than $2 a day. And opportunities in life come by leveraging what you have, not what you lack, so it's important to focus on the former not the latter.

Another reason I'm out of here once I get my $ right.

The institutions are a joke and I'm not going to spend the rest of my life outrage d about what some liberal arts dummy of the day has to say.

I already got my 2nd passport.

I'm working on the $ and when I hit my # I'm gone.

Sick of watching this 🚂 wreck of a society leech off me and blame me for everything

> Eric Weinstein, while being an obnoxious Jew

I was waiting for this, i knew you would find a way to weave them in even how over-represented they are and academia. 😆

I always knew the ivy league was a social club for the elite but I didn't know how deep the rabbit hole went.

you learn something new everyday

@Mongoliaboo @basedbagel

He is quoted as saying that the relevant Pearson correlation coefficients in these studies - the 'r' value - tops out at 0.6 for grades-to-IQ, and 0.25 for grades-to-conscientiousness, which if true is pretty high for that field.

But yes, corruption is a huge deal. Parents buying their kids Ivy league places is the least of it.

The entire education ecosystem from K through to post-grad peer review is a cesspool of corruption.

Almost nothing worth saving from it.

> I met a guy who was living in an apartment close by, bought for him outright by his dad.

The best privilege is rich/sane family privilege and there's not even a close second.

These nepo babies will brag about their 4.0s and never acknowledge the fact that your background stress of trying not to starve has anything to do with your slightly lower GPA

> shitty job earning shit money. I had next to nothing.

I just had a Nam flashback

I worked for minimum wage at my campus job. One day a feminist coworker bitched to me about her pay.

I asked her how much she got paid, since I make minimum wage she should make 77% of that, she looked shocked and went silent.

Come to find out EVERYONE in there was not only paid more but they all got a raise and didn't tell me...

Some people just bitch about anything

I thought the whole point of Bitcoin was to BYPASSS the banking institutions.

Why are people championing a Bitcoin EFT?!🤦‍♂️

Please tell me there was a conspiracy where they systematically got rid of everyone who believed in the true vision of crypto?

@Mongoliaboo

> pay the ENTIRE down payment on his house.

😲 You just can't make this stuff up.

In fairness My parents pitch in for education related stuff but even then I STILL have student loans 😭

Meanwhile some lucky jackass is going to get a down payment on their house and/or a 50% of their bills and rent paid...

But we gotta pull ourselves up by our 🥾 straps...

I try not to think about it, its so painful.

TIL some people's parents pay for HALF their rent and bills...

Every day is a test of my resolve not to become envious or resentful.

But this is right up there with female FULL scholarships for how much it shocked me
