We live in griftworld. Money is fake and has absolutely no connection to reality, all that matters is how good you are at playing the game. Smart or dumb, skilled or unskilled it doesn't matter. Your station in life these days is solely determined by whether you can grift.
@Hoss @matrix scraping together some correct EE knowledge, I could SolarGrift
@Hoss @matrix And it's notably why everything is falling apart.
There's a difference between working smart, meaning optimizing, thinking ahead, create or use new tools to multiply your manpower output, then you can either invest more time into anything you want, but this is just pure parasitism.
@Hoss @matrix Work from home wasn't a great influence on my work behavior but I wasn't making any 180k lmao. Not having a commute was great, you just stop caring I guess. All the formality disappears when it's just another screen and not real face to face people. The screen can go fuck itself.
@matrix After my day at work yesterday, I want to beat these fuckers with a sock full of coins
These people are going to splatter on the ground when the bottom falls out of the economy. Some of them literally.
@Hoss @matrix Market capitalism's a solved game. Covid and the lockdowns barely impacted it. There is no bottom falling out. Nothing ever happens because happening is risky and businesses hate accountability for their risk-taking.
@Hoss @matrix @mrsaturday Not gonna lie, if I had a grifty email job, I'd be warriormaxxing. Guns? Sure. Training? You'd bet. Tunnel exploration? Definitely
@matrix and though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy
And the gods of the copybook headings said "If you don't work, you die".
@matrix damn, i'm sure everyone in that thread tried to find out how to become a product manager immediately
