[General Disarray]

Y'know, I used to be a little scared (in my mid-30's) about that whole thing about how people in the tech industry kinda "age out" early because younger workers come in with a decent education, little experience but a willingness to work for pennies compared to the old timers.

With this kind of shit going on in the schools and the colleges churning out nothing but unqualified snowflakes who can barely handle the stress of writing a resume much less showing up on time to do work expected of them, I have never felt more optimistic about the next two decades of my career. The people failing up and out of schools like this will be my competition for every job. I'll win by default because I can spell my own name, don't write in crayon, and can resist the urge to eat paste during an interview.

I just went to testing for a lower-level office job at city hall. I had worked there in my 20's as a temp (am five decades plus in years) and the blacks would literally curl their weaves and do their nails on the clock. One black dude was so inept he couldn't even be put on phone relief duty. I am assuming nothing has changed. I was the first one done with the test, and at the same time as my getting ready to turn in my answer sheet, another testee alerted the administrators that the ANSWERS TO A SEGMENT OF THE TEST WERE IN THE MARGINS OF THE BOOKLET. Nothing like governmental efficiency and accuracy!

I am probably far overqualified, should have dumbed myself down a bit. I am skilled enough to be a high-level executive assistant, a role I've served in for over 10 years of my career, but I just want the spectacular benefits and to be able to do my menial job with no mental investment whatsoever.

I see only sad days in the working world, especially being white and older. No diversity points for hiring me. Womp womp.

 

[The Last Stand]

I like how this article tries to paint Koreans as the villains for owning a lot beauty stores, rather than the victims here for having their stores destroyed. Fucking ridiculous.

Imagine leaving a tyranny that is Korea, come to America for a new life for you and your family, work hard, only to have a group of people destroy your business for "political reasons."

I see only sad days in the working world, especially being white and older. No diversity points for hiring me. Womp womp.

There's light at the end of the tunnel, fren. Any business that's interested in staying in business and ideally making profit understands behind closed doors that diversity hires and dangerhairs tend not to be very productive, so if they want anything to get done properly they'll need to hire at least a handful of actually competent people. Deep SJW infiltration of HR departments can't completely block a company's acquisition of some actual talent. They must acquiesce to the reality that some actual work must take place for the company to continue writing their paychecks. There are plenty of instances where HR doesn't really get a choice -- they're straight-up told "this person will be starting Monday, here are his details, make sure his paperwork's in order when he arrives, and get him onboarded quickly. I expect him in my office by 10:00am to get him started."

This is, incidentally, why products from companies like Microsoft and Google have gotten progressively worse over the past few years. They've gone full-on woke and make very questionable hiring decisions based on diversity quotas. They're not actually screening people for technical competence very well and they're also increasingly relying on H1-B visa workers (who are almost always terrible). Their internal politics and other insanity is driving away all the competent people who knew how to keep the lights on. Google especially is suffering from this, and you can see it by looking at the Google Graveyard to see all the cool stuff they've killed in the past few years. Observe how GMail and Youtube have gotten progressively slower (Youtube is horribly slow these days) and keep losing features. There's probably nobody left there by now who has enough full-stack knowledge to make real improvements, so their shit just gets worse and worse.

There are lots of companies out there infested with this kind of stupidity, but they're easy to spot (because the infestation demands public asspats so these companies will make lots of typical SJW noises in the usual embarrassingly public fashion). Companies that don't openly bend the knee on demand may not be as gigantic, but they're everywhere, still have pretty deep pockets, and always need competent people to remain competitive and run efficiently. They'll quietly bump you to the top of their candidates list when you successfully complete an interview without mentioning pronouns, Trump, or overshare personal details about your sexual preferences.

The racist grifters running the BLM scam (and their ilk) will call this "white male privilege," but it's actually just "the privilege of competence." You don't need diversity hiring to get a job because you're very good in your field and your experience and work history speak for themselves. I've been called "overqualified" for a job that paid $150k a year (that was a surreal experience -- I was near broke at the time and that kind of money would have really turned things around back then). It's always a bummer when you get passed over for someone else, but being told "hey you're too good for this high-paying job" is a massive shot in the arm and makes you walk even taller into the interview with your next prospect.

 

[Homegrown Homophobia]

Yay tech industry talk. My last company was a small internet marketing company that was about 100~ people and 90% white guys. It was paradise! My best tip is to work for smaller companies that can't have an HR department.

I 100% feel you man. My only fear now is having to manage these SJW retards in a few years.

Tt

Write a book about how to succeed in your career. Make millions. Hold work shops. Life coach. That type of thing.

Scam these weak whipper snappers. Its an easy pay day

Don't forget peddling them health/fitness advice because they sure as hell are ignorant of those as well.

Dat feel when you have to cut someone out of your life for good cos all they do, say and are is about Trump Derangement Syndrome to the NNNNNth degree, and everything they come out with is "anyone who is not hard left is LITERALLY HITLER".

I know it's OT and I know it's inappropriate but this is the only place I can ask: How do you all deal with that as and when it happens?

I am about 99% of the way to cutting a couple of close people off for good over this shit. It hurts. One of them posted a thing that I've seen floating around facebook and I just ignored it. Being a good human to other humans is not Red or Blue, dammit!

Edit to say that the stuff under the spoiler tag was NOT written by me, I was merely offended by it and felt like sharing.

Spoiler: FB retardation

A friend of a friend wrote this and I am posting it so that those who may not understand why I'm 'blue' in a 'red' state understand why.
***
Maybe this will help you understand me and others like me better:
I'm a liberal, but that doesn't mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let's break it down, shall we? Because quite frankly, I'm getting a little tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for. Spoiler alert: Not every liberal is the same, though the majority of liberals I know think along roughly these same lines:
1. I believe a country should take care of its weakest members. A country cannot call itself civilized when its children, disabled, sick, and elderly are neglected. Period.
2. I believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Somehow that's interpreted as "I believe Obamacare is the end-all, be-all." This is not the case. I'm fully aware that the ACA has problems, that a national healthcare system would require everyone to chip in, and that it's impossible to create one that is devoid of flaws, but I have yet to hear an argument against it that makes "let people die because they can't afford healthcare" a better alternative. I believe healthcare should be far cheaper than it is, and that everyone should have access to it. And no, I'm not opposed to paying higher taxes in the name of making that happen.
3. I believe education should be affordable. It doesn't necessarily have to be free (though it works in other countries so I'm mystified as to why it can't work in the US), but at the end of the day, there is no excuse for students graduating college saddled with five- or six-figure debt.
4. I don't believe your money should be taken from you and given to people who don't want to work. I have literally never encountered anyone who believes this. Ever. I just have a massive moral problem with a society where a handful of people can possess the majority of the wealth while there are people literally starving to death, freezing to death, or dying because they can't afford to go to the doctor. Fair wages, lower housing costs, universal healthcare, affordable education, and the wealthy actually paying their share would go a long way toward alleviating this. Somehow believing that makes me a communist.
5. I don't throw around "I'm willing to pay higher taxes" lightly. If I'm suggesting something that involves paying more, well, it's because I'm fine with paying my share as long as it's actually going to something besides lining corporate pockets or bombing other countries while Americans die without healthcare.
6. I believe companies should be required to pay their employees a decent, livable wage. Somehow this is always interpreted as me wanting burger flippers to be able to afford a penthouse apartment and a Mercedes. What it actually means is that no one should have to work three full-time jobs just to keep their head above water. Restaurant servers should not have to rely on tips, multibillion-dollar companies should not have employees on food stamps, workers shouldn't have to work themselves into the ground just to barely make ends meet, and minimum wage should be enough for someone to work 40 hours and live.
7. I am not anti-Christian. I have no desire to stop Christians from being Christians, to close churches, to ban the Bible, to forbid prayer in school, etc. (BTW, prayer in school is NOT illegal; *compulsory* prayer in school is - and should be - illegal). All I ask is that Christians recognize *my* right to live according to *my* beliefs. When I get pissed off that a politician is trying to legislate Scripture into law, I'm not "offended by Christianity" -- I'm offended that you're trying to force me to live by your religion's rules. You know how you get really upset at the thought of Muslims imposing Sharia law on you? That's how I feel about Christians trying to impose biblical law on me. Be a Christian. Do your thing. Just don't force it on me or mine.
8. I don't believe LGBT people should have more rights than you. I just believe they should have the *same* rights as you.
9. I don't believe illegal immigrants should come to America and have the world at their feet, especially since THIS ISN'T WHAT THEY DO (spoiler: undocumented immigrants are ineligible for all those programs they're supposed to be abusing, and if they're "stealing" your job it's because your employer is hiring illegally). I believe there are far more humane ways to handle undocumented immigration than our current practices (i.e., detaining children, splitting up families, ending DACA, etc).
10. I don't believe the government should regulate everything, but since greed is such a driving force in our country, we NEED regulations to prevent cut corners, environmental destruction, tainted food/water, unsafe materials in consumable goods or medical equipment, etc. It's not that I want the government's hands in everything -- I just don't trust people trying to make money to ensure that their products/practices/etc. are actually SAFE. Is the government devoid of shadiness? Of course not. But with those regulations in place, consumers have recourse if they're harmed and companies are liable for medical bills, environmental cleanup, etc. Just kind of seems like common sense when the alternative to government regulation is letting companies bring their bottom line into the equation.
11. I believe our current administration is fascist. Not because I dislike them or because I can’t get over an election, but because I've spent too many years reading and learning about the Third Reich to miss the similarities. Not because any administration I dislike must be Nazis, but because things are actually mirroring authoritarian and fascist regimes of the past.
12. I believe the systemic racism and misogyny in our society is much worse than many people think, and desperately needs to be addressed. Which means those with privilege -- white, straight, male, economic, etc. -- need to start listening, even if you don't like what you're hearing, so we can start dismantling everything that's causing people to be marginalized.
13. I am not interested in coming after your blessed guns, nor is anyone serving in government. What I am interested in is the enforcement of present laws and enacting new, common sense gun regulations. Got another opinion? Put it on your page, not mine.
14. I believe in so-called political correctness. I prefer to think it’s social politeness. If I call you Chuck and you say you prefer to be called Charles I’ll call you Charles. It’s the polite thing to do. Not because everyone is a delicate snowflake, but because as Maya Angelou put it, when we know better, we do better. When someone tells you that a term or phrase is more accurate/less hurtful than the one you're using, you now know better. So why not do better? How does it hurt you to NOT hurt another person?
15. I believe in funding sustainable energy, including offering education to people currently working in coal or oil so they can change jobs. There are too many sustainable options available for us to continue with coal and oil. Sorry, billionaires. Maybe try investing in something else.
16. I believe that women should not be treated as a separate class of human. They should be paid the same as men who do the same work, should have the same rights as men and should be free from abuse. Why on earth shouldn’t they be?
I think that about covers it. Bottom line is that I'm a liberal because I think we should take care of each other. That doesn't mean you should work 80 hours a week so your lazy neighbor can get all your money. It just means I don't believe there is any scenario in which preventable suffering is an acceptable outcome as long as money is saved.
Copy & Paste if you desire...

These people do not deserve life.

Even if Trump wins, even if mainstream media and big tech are gutted and replaced with something reasonable, even if the deep state is dismantled and jailed, even if immigration is frozen for the foreseeable future, we will still have a whole lot of ideologically subverted adult children, of white and black strains, that refuse or are incapable of growing up. Optimistically, there would be some sweeping cultural event that forces them to. Much easier problem to handle with the others under control, at least.

Absolute truth.

It's easier than it sounds. They mostly just fight and bicker among themselves over who's the wokest, so the trick is keeping them distracted with wokeness and away from active projects where they can cause real damage. If you have to involve them in a real project, have them work on the flowery bits, like the non-technical documentation (if any), scheduling meetings and other "soft" team support tasks. For the love of god don't let them get involved in naming shit, or you'll get dragged endlessly into that "master/slave whitelist/blacklist" shit. And never allow them to interact publicly on behalf of the company (i.e. don't let them post on your company twitter, ever).

Don't forget peddling them health/fitness advice because they sure as hell are ignorant of those as well.

God damn, you guys have me seriously considering doing this. Wonder how much money's in the self-help industry these days...

ETA:

I've been gone for god knows how long. Give me the rundown on what the flying fuck happened in the past few months

Shit's fucked. Blame niggers.

Cut the chord. It's not going to change, you and no one else in the world is that cool enough to make them essentially change their entire personalities and world view enough to make them snap out of it. Any attempts to will just make them hunker down, be defensive and assume that you're the problem instead of them because that's just the way the human brain works. Give them the axe and focus on yourself instead of grinding your teeth over someone when they turn into that level of an unfun energy and positivity sponge in your life. You'll be glad you did

Yup. I've had to break off contact with several friends (it was just easier to close my old facebook account) because there's just no reaching them and they were starting to turn openly hostile towards me. I knew some of these people for over two decades, but their world view was getting so warped I could tell it was only a matter of time before they declared me a nazi. I miss them

I honestly have no idea how we would even begin to start fixing them. Anything that doesn't agree with their beliefs is an attack and they just dig their heels in. Having a common enemy would solve it I guess ex: Getting invaded by China(lol never happening.)

The sad truth: you can't fix them. They'll only finally realize they were wrong when it's far too late. Yuri Bezmenov explained it best:

Exposure to true information does not matter any more. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him, by force, to the Soviet Union and show him (a) concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crashes his, then he will understand. But not before that. That is the tragedy of this situation of demoralization.

Fucking sucks. It's the one thing we should be really pissed at the Russians for doing, but these stupid bastards all think they've just pulled a fast one recently with Trump and have forgotten this more devious attack.
