Burn Google to the ground. It has given us nothing but a bad movie with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, ugly and useless glasses, and this person.

A place of real innovation and ideas.

Most nerd culture basically breaks down to hardcore nazi-level bullshit. Tolkien freely admitted that his dwarves were supposed to be jews because they were cunning and covetous and lived in holes in the ground, and that's the basis of shitloads of fantasy poo poo. That undercurrent's always been there. It's just that now STEM-majors are also being told that their thoughts on philosophy and philology and politics are valid and important.

I blame TED Talks.

not surprisingly people who were bullied and mocked in school naturally have a craving power/chance for revenge against inferior people.

For anyone naive enough to believe passing PR about locations in the US, please understand that this "tech yuppie culture" is not something a bay area resident, even one who works in the tech sector, necessarily comes into contact on a regular basis. it is a few nouveau riche folks projecting a hologram of what they want people to think the bay is so they will move there

is it this type of hologram?

How would the techies even become aristocrats? They don't have any guns, they don't control the economy, they don't even have a religious following. How would a bunch of Google Engineers take down the United State Armed Forces? 3D Printed Guns and Google Glasses won't do anything when a flight of B-52s carpet bombs Silicon Valley.

They would automically get promoted to positions of power based on their software and engineering skills since they smarter than the Warren Buffets of the world.

Most of the stuff on @TechHateCrimes look an awful lot like nonviolent protest.

well some of the loonier elements of the narcissistic tech industry pretty much thing everyone is planning to kill them in a Kristalnacht like event.

I guess for some reason they have trouble understanding why people would get angry over things like high rents, huge google buses block local city stops and also lovely startups displacing things like art studios.

psa for nerds REVENGE OF THE NERDS is a fiction movie because fiction is the only place and time where nerds actually get revenge otherwise in realworld (I.R.L.) it's always actually the jocks winning (check non-fiction section of kindle bookstore for reference)

Yup studies show that people like jocks actually go on to be successful later on in life due to things such as having good social skills.

Hey, why is my jaw rotting? It's not like we evolved as a species to chew stuff and many biological processes depend on that, right?

Also why the gently caress would you willingly stop eating regular food? Eating delicious poo poo is like one of the best reasons to be alive. Why would you deprive yourself of it?

Because food takes time to prepare and therefore leads to a inefficient life.

Also when you go grocery shopping you are forced to social interact with other people.

That excuse might work if Soylent was like a buck per gallon, but it's actually more expensive than real prepared food you could buy as takeout, or in a restaurant, or a frozen lunch delivery. So it makes zero loving sense.
Also she works at loving Google. If I worked at Google I would be abusing their free lunch system 24/7.

Google lunch is supposedly god tier since they do ridiculous things like growing food on campus.
