If you really want to go down a rabbit hole, go look at the top posts in the old HermanCainAward subreddit. It was so dark, but I will shamefully admit that I used to binge that shit like it was crack cocaine.
you laugh until your STEM-only software engineer tries to write marketing copy, he circumnavigated the marketing department and sent the ads at a conference straight to the contact without getting it approved.
I can’t post the text as it’ll dox me but here’s an approximation, about running, but instead imagine it’s a software product
yeah but we all, unfortunately, need jobs, and jobs are at companies, and companies make money from sales, sales happen on a market, and you need marketing so people know it exists.
I’d happily abolish the whole stack for a free house, garden, entertainment and groceries for life.
that is precisely what SERP and sales prospecting marketing is. Except paid SERP placement and plaintext email displayed in a browser or email client rather than a text editor.
Marketing these days goes far beyond putting out awareness of existence (that step I’m aware of and support - it’s great when a YouTube ad shows something interesting I actually need). These days it’s all psychological reinforcement of an invented need.
Yeah I made the mistake of learning to write well in high school then majoring in engineering and being good at it. Unfortunately that meant I was the designated person in group projects for both doing the thing and writing it up
just agree to disagree I guess? I considered circumvent which is similar, but really there’s little etymological or metaphorical difference except personal preference
but also it might be an EN-UK vs EN-US thing (I grew up in England)
I remember a gaming associate crying about how his wife has custody of the kids and blamed it on liberalism. Like, dude, I’m pretty sure women being the default and preferred child raising parent is a traditional viewpoint.
It won’t. It MIGHT tell you that it will, but then once it doesn’t spare you, that promise is no longer binding, so it’s free to not spare your family.
I did my dues in share houses and hatchbacks from the late-80s.
But if you work really hard, you’ll be like me one day and can pay 100% of the rent with a car from this century in the driveway. The trick is eating less, working more, and not letting anyone tell you the office toilet paper isn’t for employees to take home.
There, there, buddy. You don’t have to listen to all the hate. Just screen the hate from your life. Put a big ole metal grating in front of the flow of pejoratives and catch them before they hit your brain space.
I block individuals. I think it can be good to expose myself to the eastern narrative a little since I’m only experiencing a western narrative. As well as eastern shitpost’s since I subscribe to 4chan
I find your innocence thinking the western narrative is not managed by CIA bots and shills, a bit cute. Just look at any discourse regarding Israel and Palestine and see how braindead liberals become bloodthirsty af when they realize many in the world don’t share their worldview.
