You have potential to become Lemmy’s Shittymorph.

Oh snap, you’re right. It’s like a 200 IQ move. 😂

I had this issue with my cat until I switched out the litterbox for a bigger one.

Perfection

If you happened to have an unusually high IQ, why you would you choose to join Mensa, or be a moderator on Reddit for that matter?

The smartest thing you can do is obfuscate your level of intelligence, not brag about it. That’s just how you end up doing more work and getting blamed by everyone around you.

I quit my job in public accounting for many reasons, but the primary one was the forceful adoption of LLMs to replace associates.

I told the dimwits at the top that it was a mistake, because LLMs are incompetent even when the information fed to it was perfect, and that was rarely the case in practice.

Our ultra wealthy clients were notorious for giving us the most incomplete and asinine information, and it often took someone with decades of experience to decipher what the fuck their personal assistants are even talking about.

They went ahead anyway because of the high cost of wages, of course, and I made my exit because I did not wish to be complicit in such a monumental mistake.

Lmfao the LLM they laid associates off and paid half a million dollars for made up fake ledger accounts when accounts didn’t reconcile, and none of the dumbasses left noticed in time because they hadn’t done associate-level work in decades.

It also lied all the time, even when you asked it not to.

The damage was done and the biggest clients started leaving, so they begged us all to come back but I got obsessed with baking bread and I ain’t about to neglect my sourdough starters to help a group of people who would lose a battle of wits against yeast.

I’m currently going through something similar, and I’m just disposing of anything I do not immediately need.

Some stuff is very sentimental, so I asked my neighbor to dispose of it because I can’t.

Keep it at. Little by little. It’s all we can do.

I did not realize Fastball was perceived as ugly, what happened?

Also, Thom Yorke is good looking-- especially when he licks his lazy eye during the instrumental breaks. 😍

It’s infuriating! 😬

This is literally fraud.

You’d be stealing from other working class people like you.

She hasn’t failed.

She has galvanized an entire fucking movement, facing death threats the whole damn way.

It’s also not a zero sum game, we need quality leaders at all levels-- mayors, directors, board members, senators, etc.

We need as many as we can get, not just the presidency.

Precisely where I was.

I was the third finance director for that division in two years, which is a terrible sign.

When interviewing, always ask about those who last filled the position and for how long.

I accepted a position at Amazon as a finance director for one of their many divisions, and it was hands down the most toxic work environment I have ever experienced-- and I’ve worked in public accounting for other a decade, so that’s saying something.

I resigned within a couple weeks and found myself a much better job elsewhere.

Tax the rich instead.

It yielded excellent discussions between my partner and I. Our theory was that The Hollow and Kamen represented a codependent relationship, whereas Levi & Azi were a representation of adapting to a new environment and embracing change & independence.

And I don’t necessarily mean romantic relationships. I am talking about relationships between people and also the relationships we have with our environments.

The planet is not hostile to humans. It’s simply that humans are alien to it, thus it’s more likely that humans will fail to thrive unless they learn to adapt.

The dad is just such a good person.

The googly eyes, the silliness, he just wanted to make his family smile.

We’d have to spend a fortune on defense.

We’d suffer massive losses from being cut off from interstate trade agreements.

We’d have to deal with massive immigration issues.

We’d probably get our shit pushed in from all the federal military bases within the state.

I think it’s waaaay easier to just oust the current leadership and remove all the Congress members that aided and abetted.

** record scratch noises **

I worked as an associate for a public accounting firm that does not ever advertise itself, because we specialized serving ultra wealthy individuals and you could only engage us if you knew of us through such circles.

One day, our office got a call from the personal assistant to someone very wealthy who is known for abusing ketamine, asking for an engagement on a very unusual and complex tax situation. A call was set up to discuss the scope of the engagement, because the partners have always been very particular about what clients they will take on, because really wealthy individuals are often very unpleasant, stressful, & frustrating to work with.

Apparently during the call the assistant was patronizing, like we should feel flattered that we were chosen by m’lord, and demanded non-negotiable terms that we would conduct our work exactly as told with no questions asked. They had even sent their own engagement letter for us to sign with them ahead of the call, and it was completely absurd.

The partners patiently explained that is not possible, as that is not how this type of professional relationship works, and declined the engagement.

The assistant was losing their mind, shocked we would turn such an opportunity down. They offered even more money and even some compromise, but the way they initiated the interaction set the tone to expect throughout the professional relationship.

I was very impressed by the partners in the sense that I knew they were incredibly greedy people, but they are so fucking intelligent and had such a great instinct to avoid clients that were going to end up costing way more money than they brought in, because us associates would absolutely refuse to deal with bullshit because it was already a super stressful job, and we were way too talented and incredibly expensive to replace if we walked off.

The self restraint must have been legendary, and exactly the right call, because all the professionals that do end up accepting end up getting embroiled in costly lawsuits and getting thrown under the bus.

Anyway, I hated that job and I wish I that quit sooner than I did. I got such bad burnout, I developed PTSD and now I prefer just living like a hobo rather than go back out there.

PS: Fuck capitalism and fuck Amazon. I refuse to buy anything from them ever again. Cancelled my credit card and told them to go fuck themselves. Fascists.
