I taught business ethnics for MBAs when i was in graduate school.

The only ‘ethics’ they learned was ‘maximize shareholder value at any price’. They spent an entire semester learning to to argue why murdering people and abusing people was morally justified as long as the share price goes up. That was the curriculum. Nothing else mattered.

if you groom your cat fastidiously you’ll be fine. the allergen is not in the hair, it’s in the saliva.

i am allergic but have a long haired cat. it’s fine as long as i brush him out regularly. when he bites me i break out in hives though.

it’s also not true. hypoallergenic dogs/cats are just marketing nonsense designed to appeal to rich weirdos who want to spend five figures on dog because they think nothing has any value if they pay less than that.

for bragging rights

there are also purebred cats that cost 4-5 figures.

the reality is that incompetent managers love to blame their employees for not doing shit they never told them to do.

it’s a fad in terms of the hype and the superstition.

it won’t go away. it will just become boring and mostly a business to business concern that is invisible to the end consumer. just like every other big fad of the past 20 years. ‘big data’, ‘crypto’, etc.

5 years ago everyone was suddenly a ‘data scientist’. where are they now? yeah… exactly.

that’s not fun and dramatic and clickbaity though

amen

yes, yes, and yes.

and i no longer like any of those things.

yeah. the platforms aren’t so bad in and of themselves, it’s the engagement algorithms that turn everything to shit.

just like IG, YT, video/music stremaing etc. you could stumble upon random and interesting shit… now the algo is just trying to shove kendrick lamar and joe rogan at me none stop because that is what is ‘popular’ and whatever shitty movie that netflix is trying to promote.

browsing is dead and search is also mostly broken. you can’t even effectively search for shit anymore.

the only place i can freely browse anymore is my local library. and discover lots of cool things. that experience on the internet is dead.

the vast majority of nutbags with low key mental issues i meet are social media addicts who furiously want to bring their ‘curated’ image into the real world and force others to worship them.

the others nutbags are homeless folks.

irrational belief based on fantasy fuels people to action a lot more than rational belief based in reality.

because the former is exciting and meaningful, the latter is boring and mundane.

hence why the crazies tend to believe in cabal conspiracies of evil people whom they must fight against. whereas your average voter is like ‘who do i want to have a beer with and make me feel like i’m doing better financially… i’ll vote him’

yeah, but that’s not how people work.

no, because there is no such thing as universal happiness.

everyone’s happiness is different, and often conflicting.

for example, my father’s happiness would have been me playing football. I hated sports. hence, he hated me until he died for ‘hurting him’.

why free when you can make money?

No one where? Here?

Where I live in liberal leftie land… people are 100% often totally for facism, as long as it’s targeted at the ‘right’ people. And ironically, also they all bend over backwards to accommodate assholes as long as have a minority identity, because you know, it’s perfectly ok to treat people like shit because you’re categorically oppressed.

And in the few spaces that are generally open to everyone… they get shit on by these same supposed tolerant people, becuse these spaces are not ‘safe’ if the evil bad majority is allowed into them.

It’s pure insanity. Largely fueled by nitwits who have no experience with genuine oppression and tell me I’m an asshole when I tell them my stories of genuine racist and sexism, because it makes them ‘uncomfortable’. lol

or she can just shove a knife in your neck while you are asleep.

what good is empathy when there is moral outrage and shaming to indulge in?

we all know men aren’t people. only women are people.

ok. lets just round up all the intolerant people and re-educate them until they are tolerant like we are.

because it’s totally cool fo us tolerant people to be fascists, as long as we are eliminating fascism!
