I feel you OP. I was just getting my application to the philosophy factory near my house together when it started going. The day of my interview they told me they didn't need anymore Marxist Lacanian Nietzschean aestheticians focusing on the subjectivist dualism of bra commercials and said they'd refer me to a new department, but when I went to check it out the room was full of redditors skimming books full of Ps and Qs and tweeting thought experiments about benevolent robots.

>NEW JOB OPENINGS

Long story short: I applied but didn't get the job due to lack of experience in the field.

If this continues I'll open my own workshop. Or some underground math lab to synthesize some divine geometry. I heard STEMfems dig that shit due to "muh high brow aesthetics".

You know... I think the industry suffers from that women quota the govt imposed.

The boutique philosophy industry is booming. The only problem is people trust the big brands, it might be hard getting people to buy your product when 'Camus brand Absurdism™' is right down the aisle.

The Math cook route is booming thanks to the STEM addict epidemic (I am one fyi) just be careful, the empiricist world is dangerous.

Short for the finnish word terveisin, which means regards.
In real life you use it to end letters, messages and emails as in:

Hello
You are invited to X, which is held during Y
T. Petteri Nils-Aslak

You can also use yt. which means ystävällisin terveisin, "with kind regards"

In the spurdo world you use it to make clear who you are or to mock someone

Examples for the 1st kind:

Thats not true, actually X happened like this!
t. knower

>>8250255
lol

t. CPA candidate

He's right you know
t. other

Examples for the 2nd kind:

>All languages descent from the turkish sun language
t. Mustafa Kemal

>observations of the utility of mathematics proves the axioms that it is based upon are correct
t. virtually every single STEMsperg out there

>scaring women is fun
t. Moldovan town rapist

Too bad to hear, I work in the finnish logician industry which has received support from the state since they want to keep heavy industry alive. Even though we don't produce practically anything nowadays, I myself spend my time staring at the pictures of von Wright and Wittgenstein sitting together and reading Hintikka's work while I masturbate and dream of a world that doesn't so often remind me of its illogicalness
