A percentage of American have been emboldened with “ain’t my problem”.

It happened when they made COVID-19 political.

Yep! Call me a skeptic on these stories. I’ve seen too many, “I was fired because I clocked in 5 minutes late!”

Only for it to come out that while they were fired for “being late”, it was the last straw because of all their HR complaints for sexually harassing dozens of women, offensive humor, and for creating a toxic atmosphere.

A decade ago, I was annoyed by emojis. Hate that shit.

But then some PM decorated all the knowledge base page titles in our Confluence to have a icon in the front to visually group the goal.

And that’s when I learned how valuable a good emoji can be.

The incredible disconnect with the expat community that they are literally immigrants in a foreign country. Don’t visit the expat social groups if you don’t want to be pissed off.

Had a ex-friend who went real hard last year about feeling his masculinity has been challenged. Went deep into the manosphere language. He was extra annoying. Every convo was about how he, a white man in America, was being repressed. He started labelling random shit as masculine/feminine. Got sick this and stopped inviting him.

A few months later, I learned the divorce was finalized and he’s been sending me invites to hang with him in his bachelor pad. Nah dog you suck now.

Fuck dropbox. Dropbox uses your data for AI training.

They had some backlash so now it’s a toggle depending on your account.

Cancelled them immediately because I originally was using Dropbox to store personal information like tax and backup passwords. And now I know they can/will fuck you over for profit.

I still meet people who trust a police officer to have their best interests in mind.

I started collecting all the times it happened but gave up after 3 of them.

He didn’t really get “assassinated”. He just got denied his critical-life benefits.

And like share the pizza? Ew.

I had a brilliant idea for a app during college. It connected self-identified lonely nerds with other self-identified lonely nerds. Like “Oh you like anime, here is this other guy, and here are five events you can attend together.” I was hoping for that Zuckerberg money if this app was a hit.

I ran it through a test trial with a dozen pairings of them in my college campus to see if it had value.

And yeah, a lot of the feedback was that the other person was kind of annoying/intolerable. Which was funny when both of them said that about each other.

Two weeks ago, I saw the loner at the table of an event. Went to go talk to them because they were alone for a while.

In less than 10 minutes, they made a offensive joke that would have insulted half the people here, and complained about their living situation unprompted.

You literally cannot search for Mastodon without getting a weird ass 2-paragraph manifesto about The Fediverse.

End users just want to use shit.

This is unfortunately the world of open-source.

1. Nerd tells you to use the open-source thing.
2. Non-technical tries it and asks questions
3. Nerd proclaims it’s not a real problem/your fault/not applicable/fix it yourself
4. Some company takes that open-source version or idea, makes it easier for end users and monetize it
5. Nerd gets angry and repeats step 1

Source: I am nerd and I contribute to open-source.

Remember the Boycott for Call of Duty? And most of them were playing on Day 1.

He should also back them into a corner so they wont be easily distracted and can focus on his words.

In their version, The “Jews for Hitler” ended with them living happily ever after.
