  • I’ve found that bad managers tend to think that they are looking for an ideal candidate. That candidate is mind numbingly obsessed with working for them that they will degrade themselves for the opportunity to work for their company. Like they hear fake stories from CEOs and influencers about how when they were working they worked all day every day and skipped lunch to make sure they were the best employee in the company and believe that if you just interview hard enough you’ll find that golden idiot.

    As soon as you deviate from that, the manager tells themself “well, this person asked about the work hours and overtime policy, clearly they aren’t ready to work 10 hours a day for no extra pay.” And anyone they do hire will never be enough.


  • *cokes don’t explode for 6 hours

    “See? They say it couldn’t be done, but I did it and we’ve got colder Cokes than ever before!”

    *Cokes explode 2 hours later

    “The corrupt Biden policies have allowed radical antifa terrorists to destroy my cokes. The freezer should have never been that cold.”

    Again, I agree with you, you basically repeated and expanded on the point of the person I replied to. Like what you’re giving me is a good anthropological analysis.

    But if you asked these women why/how they got to this point they would not say “well I’m just commiting to my performance of being a woman to appease the male gaze”

    For one thing, most of them probably still hold agency to themselves despite the fact that it seems clear they are doing this to appease men. They would most likely have explanations for all their changes and who/what influenced them.

    A terrifying probability is that these women literally get told by their spouses/others that if they don’t get these specific surgeries they won’t be able to do something. If it’s that then I would like to know who specifically tells them this and what they tell them.

    What interests me is that I’ve never once heard an actual explanation. “They’re doing drag” might be true in an analytical sense from an outside perspective. But it’s not the reason they do it.

    One would assume the reason you start is because you’re encouraged to get some Botox and subtle touch-ups are a very beauty trend among women. But they all end up with very similar features and it’s always overdone. So there must be common pushes and pulls. I would just like to hear it in their own words what has led them to this.





  • Unfortunately it won’t pop for another couple years at least. It will only pop when investors start asking for a return and for the stupidest of reasons they’re all content to think that returns won’t happen for 5-10 years after their investments.

    Unfortunately for them it won’t ever happen but the amount of faith they’re putting into it will mean we’ll be saturated with AI for years until someone realizes they have no hope of making enough money to reimburse the cost.






  • Sorry I should have clarified that the type of ads this meme is talking about (i.e banner ads and spot ads) don’t work, and yet we have more than ever before. We know this because it’s demonstrable that you need more capital than ever and more ad time than ever to see equivalent returns.

    If a company really wants to sell their product they do tie-in deals with personalities or commission news stories to be laundered for them.



  • It’s because ads don’t work on people anymore. You need hundreds to thousands of views on an ad to get a handful of click-throughs. Companies don’t know what to do anymore because advertising is really the only concept that makes sense to them.

    Also ads are a form of soft power. Companies spend millions/billions of dollars on YouTube/twitch etc. to threaten creators with “demonetization” if they step too far out of line when they criticize the wrong people.
