firstly the entire bay area is techbros now not just silicon valley, secondly everything north of the san fernando valley is an unmitigated hellscape

regularly drinking with the people working under you is almost as bad an idea as sleeping with them unless you're a pirate or something i guess

Its been 28 years since I was last in California and youre making me think if I ever go back its not worth leaving the LA area. Jerry Cotton posted:I was a SIGOP in at least one BBS back in the day (maybe two, can't remember). And designed the ANSI log-in graphics for one. Oh good a fellow old person. I thought Digimon was terrible too.   Berke Negri posted:corbyn is polling worse than may also atm, im sure ukpol is a fun time (it was never a fun time) UK media and polling are notoriously bad and biased towards the Tories. Though with how things seem to be playing out over there I wouldnt be shocked if that was actually true.

Berke Negri posted:i feel this greatly overestimates aaron sorkin by the aaron sorin class i refer to pretty much the entire post-cold-war New Reality technocratic class of politicians, which are emphatically not an anglosphere phenomenon. granted, you have the springer-presse and various other local equivalents, but murdoch himself is a part of the syndrome, not a cause as such

aaron sorkin was very very good at distilling the self-image of this class of people, and he's immediately familiar to you anglo pigs itt, so i used him as shorthand

my counterrevolutionary confession is I still unironically like the west wing, just in the same way someone should like porn, as a complete fake bullshit thing meant to make you feel good, not an actual thing to expect.
