You misunderstand. Finance, law, and tech (to some extent) are the industries for rich kids with some actual aptitude since they do require real work. The cool thing about being a rich kids is that you don't have to work at all! And the sinecures for rich failsons have always been thinktanks, politics, NGOs, and journalism.

But I guess you're right those aren't nearly as lucrative so the tryhards will either go into the family business or, if we don't follow the light of Mao and liquidate the landlord class, will follow the tried and true method of capital accumulation by consolidating the distressed lower- and middle-tier landlords' assets for pennies and becoming megaslumlords.

i always assumed that the "jobs" of the rich kids were really just proxies to allow them to expand their network to other rich and powerful people so that they can collectively gain access to additional privileged information to exploit the rest of society for their own gain. so yeah i don't see any of that changing, pandemic or not.

How'd you do the cigarette thing? I've set an alarm clock for when I allow myself to smoke but I have been failing at it. It's the worst addiction I've ever had and I've had some bad ones. I figure once I'm out I'll just not get more because I'm terrified to go to the store but this is also a horrible addiction and I'm dumb AF

Cheech Wizard stories are clean, wholesome, reflective truths that go great with the marijuana munchies and a blow job.

Apparently I still have a bit of humanity left in me - the part whispering "it's an edit, it's not real, or maybe you were sleeping when they covered that transform in Stats", then I look at the Fox logo and face to bloodshed.

now college coaches do make mad stacks, sports are one of the key problems with higher education right now.

Well coaches "pay for themselves" because successful sports teams boost alumni donations and bring in corporate money for the school (but the players can't touch!!!!). I'm not saying sports AREN'T a problem, but it's actually the inflation of upper & middle administrators. There was a chart I can't find anymore that charted out the rising cost of tuition and the rising payrolls for administrators over the past couple decades (exclusive of professors & classified staff) and it's basically 1:1. Coincidentally most seats on college boards are filled by finance people. Weird!

I would have a smoke on the way to work, a smoke on breaks, a smoke on the way home, and a smoke while I walked my dog. Now I don't go to work, and instead I walk my dog twice a day. I've always been a proponent of the "hot turkey" method of quitting, in which you slowly cut down until such a point as you can stash away a few smokes for emergencies during the final wean-off. It worked for me once before

Jesus we've known this poo poo for weeks already, since the Imperial College report. We're gonna have to do rolling lockdowns that basically give us ~6-8 weeks of relative freedom between ~10-12 week long lockdowns. Repeating over and over, until we have a viable vaccine distributed in the population.

And that basically needs to be coordinated worldwide, or done with locked borders. So lol good luck with that poo poo

I used the forming of a different routine after this all started to quit smoking, plus nicotine patches for the last few weeks. Stopped using my patches three or four days ago after about three weeks. Still smoking pot so that filled the gaps in my brain where it expected to smoke something, so it's kinda got something to lean on, but it worked for me.

nah I worked for a consulting firm. management consulting firms take only the top GPAs from the top schools, and it's "up or out" so you either get promoted over the other try hards or your rear end is out. it's straight up nothing but sociopathic lisa simpsons screaming about meritocracy as they export jobs to china and how everyone who won't get with the program is racist and hates the country their jobs went to while patting themselves on the back for how woke they are because they have asian/black/lgbtq groups at work and teach girls to code on the weekends.

they are a literal walking embodiment of what conservatives claim all liberals are. and you show up day one and they tell you how it's harder to get a job there than it was to get into harvard and how much money you are going to make. and ooh lord the backstabbing since they take pleasure in firing 30% of their staff each year. think ENRON but for socially woke try hards.
