Oh okay, it’s that simple. That’s why we’re here… Wait… uhhh… No

👋 let’s do friendship. Ask me about my mundane American life. I’ll go first. Are nutritional supplements popular?

That’s what it is in SF. Angry elderly racists. No more, no less.

Jfc when you put it that way

I downvote your downvoter with this comment

Majority of enterprise tech workers everywhere*

That’s why I hate myself enough to do early stage, where you can be a human

Some might call it a… what’s that word? Responsibility?

Like that whole neighbor and community upstanding injustice and leveraging their privilege for the have nots thing that has defined modern human society up until Cambridge Analytica?

I have agreed for the longest time. But a couple of friends in intelligence are really trying to convince me this is a distraction lately. I haven’t gotten a good answer to why status quo should be allowed but those guys don’t ever consider “how end users are” when we get into it.

A) then look it up; concept or vocabulary, doesn’t matter, Google it before saying it’s whataboutism. The point was salient.

B) self preservation is rational.

C) parasites kill to survive in nature.

D) something sucking for an observer, doesn’t make the observed’s rationale illogical.

I know their longest tenured employee. Ran into them after 20 yrs… Different human. Nothing behind her eyes.

Others that have been there from 5 to 15 yrs…

Boiled frogs at different stages. (Yes, I know the science is debunked for literal frogs.)

What I don’t know, living in SV, is a single human that’s started a new job with them in the last… 5? 10? yrs… at this point it’s all younger people who only know a world with Meta. And this is all normal to them.

Wealthy? Look at flagship phone sales numbers every year. Broke ass people have expensive gadgets all the time. Get a life.

He should. They’re a few facts away from him being their actual representative candidate.

Speaking of forgetting what’s perfectly normal… the days before uniting the citizens…

Obama capped money for his inauguration at $50,000 per person - still, more than 10 times what individuals could give to his campaign.

Huh. Wonder if that’s where the Icke stuff comes from. A line drawn from dragons.

They’re like a 7 year old that ate too many cookies

I can’t convince my boss to meetup with me downtown, spend the day at his house outside the city, or get together almost ever, bc he thinks it’s a waste of our time besides personal connection, and we’ve known each other a decade so no need. We both worked in offices for decades, most recently at another company together before quarantine. Bc he’s smart… that’s why I’m working for him again

Didn’t we do that? Now my kid is bringing home a different strain every other day

Elysium

Everyone says this but I disagree. I’m sure Musk and many other public figures are emperors without clothes or whatever. But this idea that most execs are this other species blind to the muck under their boot… but most people are normal people… They may be mean, evil, mentally ill. But they don’t party in the front train car with no idea about the insect bars in the back. They’re just selfish and don’t care. They’re well aware. Don’t give them credit for ignorance by delusion. It’s malice. I make business decisions. I make them in partnership with colleagues. Some are kind. Some are dicks. But they’re intelligent enough to know what decision they’re making. And this transcends boxes. Even some of the most compassionate and empathetic human centric people I’ve ever worked with, proven in actions, not words, are repeat Trump voters. Having said that, most verticals of business are like elected office in that a certain type of person is going to win and get to the top. Oil tycoons know they’re burning the earth for personal gain. Non profit exec takes a big slice of pie, understanding the bookkeeping. They both just believe they should have it. Maybe not even deserve. Many leaders feel ordained to retroactively validate vile means to ends. “I’m on top, so I’m supposed to be on top. I see I stepped on people but that’s okay, because I’m supposed to be on top.” I know wealthy people too and it’s nearly the same. They’re on earth. They see what’s up. Many of them are in your office but just don’t mention cotillion or junior league. Some are kind, some are assholes. Just like all people.
