I think the book is about not giving a gently caress about anything except yourself so it's kind of in the same alley.

It's a 4 page essay stretched so loving thin to get it to 200 pages that it floats. 10% of the book is naughty curse words! oh my!

The tailored internet experience where the algorithm just continually repeats the same poo poo to you is exactly how you get Jordan Peterson fans and your boomer parents to suddenly believe everything they've seen on youtube. No matter how dumb.

Is there anything to lose when a marketing person touts that even a bad campaign is good? No. It's damage control lol.

So are office jobs literally just "go post until we have something for you" and then that thing takes 10 minutes

Basically.

So by going into a high wage skilled trade I made a tremendous mistake vs just getting a bland corporate gig

Absolutely not.

Everyone needs a plumber, doctor, electrician, etc etc

The moment a desk worker's employer stock goes higher - the boss gets a raise/bonus they get nothing - the moment a desk worker's employer stock goes lower - he's looking for a new job

Only desk workers have seen wage gains tho, they won't be left behind by inflation. Also they make more money to do literally nothing all day.

If you're in Canada - get into something that's related to living in some sense - home construction, plumbing, electrical, healthcare, dental, vision - get out of any manufacturing, oil & gas, anything remotely interesting.

Our GDP is going to solely transform into housing related things in the very near future.

the carts are these long prisms that look like a skinny 12 pack of soda. refilling it with a new cartridge looks and sounds like an 80s weapon load out montage.

The real pro move is to give a sob story when bonus time comes 'round about how times are tough and we all need to tighten our belts, so that's why there aren't going to be bonuses this year, and then immediately hop on the quarterly earnings report call and start bragging about the company's record profits.

Canadian Tire did this - Instead of bonuses and raises they so graciously "let everyone keep their job" all while experiencing literal record profits the past 6 quarters.
