I’m now likely stuck in this house forever cause we can’t afford to move anywhere else.

This striver bullshit stuff drives me crazy. Who is it for? This genre of video is only funny when, say, a recruiter at Google gets laid off and the twitter rant can be placed side by side with the sushi bar grindset videos. Otherwise, I am really struggling to understand why they make them, who they're for, why they apparently experience the world through LinkedIn.

This is by design and I am not remotely joking or exaggerating. For the same reason is why most commodities are loving skyrocketing right now. The administration has fully captured the Federal Reserve and they are furiously buying as many American treasuries as possible while crushing VIX, which has had the knock-on effect of loving with foreign currencies and globally-traded commodities. Pull up the charts for these and compare them side-by-side, it's clear as day. It's why Japan and South Korea are suddenly scrambling to try to peg their currencies, it's why USD/MXN is gyrating wildly, it's why /GC Is stratosphering, etc.

I watched that whole video waiting for a punchline because I was absolutely convinced it was a parody of this poo poo and the slow, awkward laptop pull and office lunch walk of shame just reinforced that the joke was coming any second. But no. This is a real person. What the gently caress.

You might have to explain it to them in terms of sheep and barley, but the rules of Samaria could likely deal with this problem better than the US - debt forgiveness, redistribution, levy taxes.

Biden destroying the global financial system for... whatever reason this is... on par with decision making lately, but I'm not sure I fully follow. Why is helping Biden's poll numbers (???) worth risking the whole thing to the career people at the Fed?

As unbelievably pathetic as that video was, a 9-5 that pays the rent is an impossible dream to a lot of people under 40, even those who graduated college. That man’s whole existence is predicated on the privilege afforded to him having found a decent job straight out of college and failing upwards ever since despite his sincere attempts to derail his career. It’s a flex by an enormous piece of poo poo.

Paradoxish posted:I dunno if "fake" is really the right word for this kind of stuff these things also come in trends (e.g. youtube exaggerated This NEW mcdonalds schezuan sauce is the WORST ever! / top 10 BEST EVER funkpops you can't live without / watch my son REACT to SONIC! *soyface thumbnail*) so it could be just the latest trend that's going around like a viral novel corona virus but again, could be utterly wrong [if i'm wrong dont correct me. i'd prefer to be ignorant and believe its purely ragebait trend]

Seriously so there's os much fast food review or fast food championships or frozen food championships or whatever. Everytime taco bell or mcdonalds releases a new snackaroo, there's about 50 bazillion videos that spring up within 24 hours. Rather it's actually worse than that: they can't afford** friends or human companionship. A lot of social media is essentially a sickening social voyeurism. i hate teh word 'parasocial relationship' but it's sort of that -- friendship-by-proxy consumption. i kind of wish david-foster-wallace was still alive because I think he'd be the perfect guy to write about social media voyeurism ** not necessarily in the monetary sense of the word Xaris has issued a correction as of 05:05 on Apr 25, 2024 |
