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.

So downwardly mobile rubes can live vicariously through obvious bullshit

In Feb the failing company I'm with was going to spend $560k for a 12 month consultant engagement of a 2 person team, part time.

They were going to:
Have 3 x 2 week trips to Europe to talk to industry players and attend a conference.
Have a 1 month trip to Japan to attend one conference.
Try to get (but not gaurantee) one supply agreement in place.

You can bet others were also paying them to attend the same conferences.

Just grift, pure grift.

Sports radio station here isn’t broadcasting the baseball game today so they can run an all day long NFL draft betting show instead. Betting on the draft. This degeneracy is infecting everything

Say what you want about working for doctors/surgeons but I’m trying to imagine some rear end in a top hat coming out of nowhere to tell them how to improve efficiency or whatever and lol. Lmao.

I don't have money in there but they do have my car loan and a credit card

if they go under does that debt disappear? (spoken with the same tone as someone asking a cashier if something is free because it didn't scan right)

scat is the most popular porn genre in germany, so they always were

I remember seeing somewhere that this idea was an invention of American and Anglos in the 70s and 80s, who themselves were extremely interested in Scheiße but couldn't get any domestically produced fetish porn and had to import it from Germany. And because they never saw vanilla German porn because there was plenty of domestic stuff available, people concluded that Germans preferred to eat poo poo.

look from each according to their ability to each according to their need. the germans might just be better at making it while the anglos are more driven to consume.
