This has been favorite side-effect of working from home. The only time I have any interaction with group-nonsense is if it's a link on the intranet. And I'd have to click the link to see more about it.

No more balloons, no more signs in the hallways, no more people casually talking about their little freak support-crews, nobody asking you to wear their pointless buttons or attend their mentally ill seminars. With working from home it's all 100% gone. And it's glorious.

Go be crazy at home all you want. Nobody but other crazy people want to participate in this time waste.

True Detective was one of the most boring and overrated series I ever attempted to watch. Hours and hours of molasses that goes nowhere.

This bond might be the slowest one yet, surpassing that boring shitshow with the casino and Texas hold ‘em scene. Jesus what a chore to watch

I’ve seen him live and there’s a lot of quiet time. He’s very funny but also very very preachy, it’s not just jokes for laughs. There are long periods of total silence it’s not knee slapping hilarity.

It would not surprise me to learn Netflix pipes in laugh tracks. They give everyone a “special” and some absolutely terrible acts are getting wild applause on awful performances. In reality, those audiences are quiet, groaning, or heckling.

It’s so manufactured that a number of big comedians are now making fun of it. Even Theo Von said on jockos podcast his Netflix “special” had a grand total of 9 people in the audience. Nobody showed up. I haven’t gone to watch his performance but I guarantee since Netflix paid to produce it, they made it sound and look like a rip roarin laugh fest packed to the gates.

They have 40 “brands” under them directly and those brands own other smaller publications and “newsletters”.

-big surprise- Condé Nast owned Reddit for a while as well.

That’s why all these digital talking points align exactly with one another and with Reddit.

4chan and Win get all bent out of shape like there’s some giant media conspiracy and they’re all individual companies going woke.

It’s not a conspiracy or secret doings. In 2006 all the magazines, digital publications, entire publishing houses, and Reddit, were owned by Condé Nast. It’s one major company putting out the same message, they just created the illusion of separate brands for marketing dollars. It’s all readily available information online too.

All the print magazines were bought by conde nast bc they were dying. They’re all the same talking points bc of single ownership and it’s been this way for over a decade now.

“Magazines” are the fm radio of print. Every radio station is the same bc clear channel bought the entire industry and standardized it into a cookie cutter platform nationally. Condé Nast paid for all the dead publications, standardized the talking points across all of them, and milks them for click bait cash.

It’s not news, it’s not information, it’s just trash written for clicks

And minorities are so amazing that you have to take mandatory training at work to get along with them.

Last time I checked, I never needed mandatory training to get along with someone good. It happened naturally.

There is nothing to fight against. You can choose your character entirely as there are no factions or “groups”. It’s just a free for all with WW2 visuals.

That’s a big complaint about the game is that everyone looks exactly alike and you can’t tell who’s on your side. No factions, no uniforms, no languages, nothing.

As a former Chicagoan who lurks for lulz, even the Chicago subreddit is red pulling itself on “muh amazing diversity”. The crime and violence has finally spread so far into the normie zone they’re all backtracking the stupidity of woke and embracing other cultures.

It’s stupid as fuck and they’re all wagie zeroes without cars or careers, but their waking up to the narrative and fighting each other is great entertainment. It’s like jerry springer back in the day. The stupid fighting other stupids. We all win.

I’ve honestly never met a Nintendo person in real life. PC, Xbox, PS, even mobile. The only reason I know Nintendo makes stuff is from the internet. It’s honestly weird

Most people I’ve met with a lot of ink are dedicated attention seekers. They cannot be happy unless they’re getting attention from others.

Since women get a lot of attention naturally, my theory is this is why so many attempt to become women. It’s always been about deep narcissism and vanity.

Once his current dopamine drip isn’t enough he’ll get fake tits. Once that isn’t enough he’ll shave half his head and dye the other side pink. Once that’s not enough he’ll get absurd piercings all over.

This quest for attention cycles until there is nothing left to change and the attention dwindles bc now they’re just freaks. So they 41% themselves.

Most of her career was character acting in dramas. Her doing action movies is like Deniro doing comedy.

There is absolutely nothing of value in steam communities. No problem solving, no tips, just insane people screeching about bugs and/or game issues.

OnlyFans was never about commercial banking, this is parroted over and over and is entirely inaccurate.

OnlyFans was trying to sell itself to Investment Banks - these are not consumer banks. It had nothing to do with payment processing, personal purchases, or lending. It was preparing one business to sell to an investment bank.

You have always been able to purchase adult material via commercial banking.

They’re such weaklings

If you lie for a living it shouldn’t be far fetched that people catch on and stop believing you. All journalists are propagandists promoting fear for money.

I’m in my 40s and it used to be you could go to lunch or hangout with female coworkers after work - as colleagues.

Now even the interns know not to do these things. This movement removed women’s ability to create work relationships and knowledge by requiring a chaperone at every engagement.

And the worst part is it’s not your work friends that have an issue. It’s always THE OTHER WOMEN who will start rumors and drama where none existed. They definitely played themselves bc I go out with guys all the time for drinks and boating adventures outside work. I can’t do that with women anymore bc it will for sure cause a problem not worth having.

Reddit is just 4chan for liberals. All the same insanity just the other side of the coin.

Movie studios, cable media, and AAA studios are all the same. They are so bloated with woke idiots that they literally cannot make anything good.

2 things:

  1. it’s a Happy Meal for teenagers.
  2. if you went into a McDonald’s and saw who’s buying the food, this is a no-brainer.

Teens and blacks are their major customer base. They also adore rap music. If you combine their favorite music with their favorite food you’ve got an easy profit stream.

This is a business 101 as it gets. What are you whackos even upset over?

It’s not commercial banking with the problem. They’re seeking capital from investment banks who’s charters specifically forbid investments into adult entertainment.

If you can find an investment firm who’s charter allows adult entertainment, then it’s fine. But these charters have very specific rules about where they can and cannot invest for many reasons.

You can visa and zelle porn until you’re blue in the dick. They’ve Always have had that ability. But you cannot attract investment banking money bc you are not allowed into their radar.

Investment banking is not commercial or credit. It’s not consumer grade. It’s an entirely different animal.

This is the solution - just don’t engage these people. Working from home is a major plus here bc there is little to zero casual conversation where the crazies can look for their demons.

If you do your job well and avoid the nut jobs, you’ll advance into leader positions and be spared all of this nonsense.

I’ve been in business over 20 years and HR training is always just show up and check the box. I’ve been in leader roles for the past 10 years - stop engaging the people you know are problems and focus on your core objectives. This will guarantee you’re out of the transactional work bucket with all the other crabs. But you have to be smart and know what battles are worth your time.

Both sides of the coin are causing problems at work bc both sides are convinced they’re right. At the end of the day, they’re problem employees who cannot get along or focus and they will remain at the bottom bc they’re unable to perform at a high level due to their own stupid thoughts and hang ups regarding other people’s behavior.

If you choose to get in the mud with the nut jobs and sling it with them, that will be your job forever. It’s your choice.

Of course Twitter is seething. That’s all Twitter has been ever since it’s inception.

I have no idea why anyone posts garbage from there or even gives it an ounce of time.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS BAD
