Melchizedek

And let’s waste the limited supply of oil that took millions of years to form in order to move people back and forth on a daily basis. All while spewing toxic particles into the air and ruining the climate. But hey, we have a ”culture” to protect here at Big Co. F-k the future, f-k humanity, and f-k everyone except a tiny group of executives who own mansions five minutes from the office.

Very attractive men dating multiple women.

At least in the Ivy League, White under-representation becomes extreme if you discount the huge number of (very over-represented) Jews that are included in the White category.

Or in Europe or East Asia where most people have good broadband.

No she doesn’t. She only has that one guy once per week at most.

They also own houses worth millions close to the office and don’t give a f-k about other people having to spend the major part of their income on housing and commuting, not to mention the absolute evil of destroying the environment for no good reason.

Good. Work from office should really be made illegal in order to protect the environment and public health. Exceptions can be made of course for occupations where physical presence is actually needed. This madness has to end. Using very finite resources in order to transport people’s bodies daily, while polluting the air and contributing to a climate disaster for no good reason is absurd.

It's the other way around. I've worked for a company that did (de facto) IQ tests before hiring. It was great. Everyone was intelligent, thoughtful and efficient and the company was successful. The problem was the owners (who of course had not taken any test). They were a mix of crazy and stupid, and the staff had to continuously work around them.

I don't know this but it sounds to me like a typical case where the senior engineers are the ones who really know how things work and they are also the ones doing the actual coding (which is probably why they prefer to work from home since it's much more productive). Then there's a bunch of manager types who only talk and write powerpoints who have a bunch of ideas that are divorced from reality. But they imagine that the people-actually-doing-the-work are the problem.

I honestly think almost everyone should be required to code themselves, at least part time. That would clear out the parasitic office-politics talkers and bring power back where it belongs: to the people who actually know something, but don't have time for scheming because they actually work.

So, spending hours in a car instead of with my own kids is "mature".

Spending the family income on cars and gas and paying an extra million for a house in order to make commuting even feasible is "mature".

Destroying the environment, wasting precious resources and spewing out poisonous particles that enter the lungs and bloodstream of other human beings is "mature".

And engaging in office maneuvering and chit-chatting instead of producing great value for my employer is "mature".

I'd rather be immature then.

They want a "culture" while I'm worried about being able to put a roof over the head of myself and a family. That will surely build a great culture. Psychopaths.

The only thing they did to become millionaires was the completely non-productive act of borrowing money to buy property. Now the property values can't be allowed to depreciate so we must all commute into the office, the environment be damned. That's just inter-generational war.

If you don’t have the necessary language skills, perhaps you should work in your own country?

But it just so happens that one preference is highly correlated with doing useful work, and the other to chatting, butt-in-seat mentality, and having others do your job (asking for "help").

"They beef 1011, Original 3rd, Purple Hayes and West Drayton. They throw up W's, B's and add K's to their opps"

Can anyone translate this into English? I'm guessing "they beef" means "they are in conflict with".

Tech is not disproportionately white. It’s disproportionately Asian.

Raping young boys is tradition in Afghanistan but you can’t blame the Taliban for that — they are very much against it.

”Responding to change over following a plan”

I think the dislike of cancel culture is stronger in Russia and Eastern Europe because it reminds people so much about Communism.

No, there are TV shows about that because those who control the media want to make us think the 50's, which by all accounts were comparatively really good, really weren't good at all due to some hidden darkness below the surface. Because otherwise we might start to think double-plus bad thoughts about why so many things have turned to shit.

And I mean good for all races - in terms of real-world material and communal circumstances - as opposed to abstract "rights" (other peoples obligations) that mostly benefit a small upper middle class.

"White supremacist" is just a media/propaganda term. Nobody calls themselves that. And not all National Socialists are white, although in the US I suppose most are.

They're not the same of course but it's common to regard them both as left-wing ideologies. They are both descendants of the ideologies of those who sat to the left in the French National Assembly, as opposed to the conservatives who sat on the right. (Confusingly, the people who call themselves conservatives in the US are really mostly free-market liberals.)

Cobra Kai

Surprisingly good series that got me thinking about how cynical the world seems today compared to the 80's as the show is very faithful to the feel of the original Karate Kid.

This will (like several other factors in society) function like a form of reverse eugenics, where people way above average in intelligence (high heritability) and conscientiousness (moderate heritability) are prevented from having children, or start having them so late that they will not have many.

And big companies with a lot of money, such as Microsoft, seem to be starting to use Rust. If I was in a leadership position at Microsoft, I would be looking into hiring the Servo devs that just got fired.

Tropa de Elite (2007) - One of few films with a genuine right wing (not Neocon Globalist Corporatist) perspective.

A Swedish Love Story (1970) - The innocence of youth vs. the cynical defeat of adulthood. Don't let the world corrupt your soul!

Apocalypse Now (1979) (must watch the Redux cut!) - The heart of man behind all the artifice and words.

In the Mood for Love (2000) - Dignity and beauty despite everything.

That non-Jewish whites are the most under-represented group at Harvard, despite many of them being "legacy, athletes, staff/donor relatives". Whereas this submission would seem to suggest that whites are being unfairly admitted to the detriment of other groups.

In reality, it's the other way around. And the fact that almost half of the few whites that do get in do so through some loophole almost makes it worse -- it means a white kid who is a brilliant student but isn't born into the right family or is an athlete has almost no chance of being admitted.

You can take comfort in the fact that the most discriminated against group is non-Jewish whites: https://2qkhyt1u78lw1ll02a1kxrzq-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-...

The US is not the world. The average person in parts of Europe and Asia has a much better internet connection.

Completely agree. I want to play new AAA games on high settings but I have very little time to do so, so I can't really justify buying an expensive gaming computer. But if I only have to buy the games it's a different matter.

This should do a lot to lower the barrier of entry and greatly expand the market for the most advanced games.
