I'm so tired of reading this clipped staccato sassy "And let me tell you something, mister. I'm typing in short sentences. Authors are people. Deal with it." tone these FUCKING FAGGOTS write in

WHY IS EVERYONE A FUCKING FAGGOT NOW? WHY does everyone radiate that they are 80IQ subhuman mongoloids but really self-important with personalities constructed out of fragments of TV characters they saw growing up? Why does nearly every human being I encounter have to be an uncanny valley fucking retard with the mind of a 12 year old and the self-awareness of a parody of a parody clueless self-important character in a comedy? It's like they learn how to do this "voice" first, they learn the social "type" that the voice represents, they decide they want to embody that type in some social context, and only then do they go about filling the embodiment with concrete content

EVERY AVERAGE NORMAL PERSON WOULD FAIL A TURING TEST. IT'S CONSTANTLY GIVING ME UNCANNINESS VIBES LIKE DEALING WITH AN ACTUAL MENTAL RETARD.

The world of YA is insane, as are the adults who write and read it (I'll exempt teenage readers of it, because no one expects a teenager to be well-balanced).

Social media was a mistake though. In the past someone would have had time to chew things over, discuss it with some people. They may have even sent and received some letters, which would take days or weeks. Now people can broadcast their ill-thought-out first impressions to the world, committing themselves to positions without any thought of the ramifications.

this. look at the forced pseudo-friendliness in corporate settings post-wimminz. you may be qualified for this job and can do the work, but the important question is does HR think you would make a good friend to hang out with during work hours or not. they don't want to hire a qualified worker, they want to hire a new buddy. it's a pathological social obsession. being mean is worse than a holocaust, being straightforward is criminal, being blunt is unforgiveable. you have to sugarcoat and pander and fake a smile every fucking second or they start screaming and crying.

the issue is not with women, though. it's with extroverts, and 95% of women are extroverts. all extroverts should be lined against a wall and shot. there is no meritocracy possible when everything is still devolved into a popularity contest. extroverts are a human cancer.

Because the number of possible things which can possibly be said is finite and the things which are most popular at the moment are clichés written by people who you've never had any personal interaction with but whose ideas you've seen hundreds of times already. If someone posted ideas that were two hundred years old and long since dead or debunked, you'd think it's wise and insightful even if it's bullshit.

Everyone in this thread is reading this and every other post thinking the exact same thing as you because none of us know each other. It's extremely easy to see a strawman when you're looking through binoculars.

This post reeks of someone with clinically diagnosed Asperger. It doesn't matter if someone had all the work experience and qualifications in the world, if they are so socially retarded that it becomes painful to work with them then they are not worth hiring. You can't be properly productive with someone who is constantly saying mean or uncomfortable shit. No matter how much you focus on just "getting the job done" your relationship with your coworkers is what is what really determines your performance.
Social interactions can not just be ignored, they are the most important part of any professional environment, and if you are constantly running into issues with how you interact with co workers you probably are not as valuable as you think you are

oh no i agree with that sentiment fully. the social environment of a group of mostly men is alot more laid back then one with a mix of men and women. It definitely feels like you can be yourself more in an all male job, the culture is completly different.
That all comes down to the differences in culture of those two groups though, even if your job is the ultimate "bro" gig you still need to get along with your co-workers. The only difference is it will probably be a lot easier, and also more fun.

Most things ruinous to society for the last few decades (if not centuries) has come out of the universities or some collective of intellectuals. Only other institution that comes close is the media.

No one is saying they can be ignored. But the reason the economy is a massive fake bubble, the reason why everything seems to be going to shit, is there is too much prioritizing nepotism and toadying social connections over competence. What you fail to realize is the degree of rampant corruption (both of you anons) going on at all levels of society. Most workplaces managers do not want competent staff because a smart person would realize quickly what crooked schemes they are up to. Supplier kickbacks and bribes particularly.
You also can't be productive if you're going up against a clique of lazy dumb people simply because you are an outsider or actually want to get the job done instead of sitting around yapping all day about whatever you watched on Netflix last night.

i can tell you he does because i have spent 3 years working in an office. the old boy managers go golfing (literally fucking golfing) constantly, there's an entire floor of the building decorated to look like a golf course and i'm pretty sure it actually is. they mosey around reading newspapers, fetching coffee, going on 90 minute lunchbreaks, water cooler talk, and maybe 2 hours a day of actual work, if that. but they all make 6 figures.

then you have the roasty patrol HR cunts where an assortment of goblins and cavetroll landwhales sit around gossipping all day or strutting around on smalltalk visits, giggling and laughing so no one who is actually doing work can concentrate. they'll gather somewhere and start a gossip circle, laugh loud enough to disrupt operations, tell the stories of their boring daily life, what kitchen rennovation they're doing or what new mattress they want to buy, and then they move on to the next disruption appointment. I have NEVER seen the cave-goblins doing anything that looks like work.

finally you have the ground forces, the cubicle slaves who actually do everything. they get paid absolute dogshit and grind 8 hours a day of constant work until they burn out from the stress, and then HR dumps them and hires a few new recent grad temps to repeat the process. use up, discard. use up, discard. it's the new slavery. you won't even get a decent reference from your months or years of slavery, either, because tey couldn't give less of a fuck about you.

In every single literature course I've ever taken, even at the graduate level, someone has brought up Harry Potter as though it were a meaningful point of reference.

I still can't believe people do this to themselves. It's akin to when people would drill holes in their heads because they thought it would alleviate mental illness. There are few things that make me squirm and it's images like that really get me. It just looks so unpleasant and unnatural. When you see a guys brains get blown out or getting is throat slit, you can at least comprehend the cause and affect, but seeing a bunch of skin stitched together where the genitals should be into an imitation vagina by a probably very skilled surgeon defies logic and reason.

They are mentally ill and the injustice is that people deny this idea as bigoted. Imagine if schizophrenia was deemed an LGBT identity and treating through rehabilitation, medication and therapy was considered barbaric and a modern version of conversion therapy so people begin allowing these mentally unwell individuals surgeries to have their eyes remove because their "neuro-atypical" identity feels oppressed by the government using their eyes to spy on them. Or support them having metal plates permanently welded onto their skull because it blocks out painful frequencies only an "LGBTSchizophrenic" can feel. I wouldn't blame the situation on the ill, rather the ones enabling them. If someone thinks cutting off their cock and having an open wound where it used to be is a good idea because they "don't feel right" in the body they were born with then there's something wrong with their head not their body.
>>14181359
