This is making me feel Streberseelenschmerz which is a word I just invented to describe the deep discomfort one feels with presented with that classic nerd attempt to be profound that falls flat on its face.

Learned this very early at my first job. I was new to the whole content writing industry so I kept to just writing the minimum expected 2000 words per day.

Meanwhile two other coworkers with more experience wanted to impress the management I guess and wrote way above that.

The result? More and more work for them. And also when performance reviews came along I was the only one to get a raise because “the quality of my writing was above average in the company.”

In the end, they were punished for “over productivity” while I was rewarded because sticking with the minimum word counts meant I had time to polish my work.

If you had spent just a few minutes thinking about it, you’d have realised email jobs and creative jobs would be first on the automation chopping block.

A secretary used to schedule events and write invitations manually, now you have calendly and ChatGPT.

You used to need an HR professional to onboard new employees, now you can use on-demand courses through any of the million LMSs that exist.

Oh and there are already AI generative tools for those kinds of online courses.

Meanwhile, even the best robots move like geriatrics. We’re 100 years away from a robot that could do all that a construction worker does.

Every single one I ever used. I even disabled iMessage once because I was annoyed it wasn’t syncing properly between the phone and the computer.

Got back from my one week vacation. Didn’t have any money so I just went to my grandma’s house in a nice village, took some forest walks.

Now I’m back in my apartment that I had to treat for fleas last week. My dad helped, we sprayed literally every inch of this place.

Still kind of anxious about it because my cat is with me again (she was with my parents while we treated the place since the chemicals are toxic).

Right now I am waiting for the dryer to finish drying my sheets so that I have something to sleep on tonight.

Touch grass.

But don’t you find it interesting that these incidents don’t happen in first class? Maybe there’s a hint there at what might be getting these passengers so pissed off to the point of violence.

(It’s the Real. You’ve paid money to be packed in a tin can, to have your anus digitally breached, you need to take off your belt, in the security line everyone is a criminal. When the Real has revealed itself, violence most usually follows. Being in the presence of the Real is torture.)

(It doesn’t happen in first class because the luxury does a better job of obscuring the Real.)

Oh you sussed me out inspector. I’m a total “redfash”.

I don’t have to justify myself to you.

And this whole thread, this swarm of bullshit over just saying the word “tankie” is tired and overused.

Just makes you look totally off your rocker collectively.

Unless this is in the context of an actual active political party none of what you wrote matters.

Individuals can be weird and regarded. But you know what? I’d rather organise with someone who incorrectly believes that Stalin did no wrong but is otherwise committed to socialism than you censorious purity testing lot.

I’m a random idiot from Serbia and you’re interrogating me as if I’m not posting on a niche Reddit clone but applying to be in the central committee of your party.

Nice. Yet another unaccountable pseudo-police force.

So glad I don’t live in the US. But for those of you who do, consider that you live in a country where private security killing shoplifters is legal.

Gonna think twice about complaining over those not warm enough nuts, won’t you?

It’s so interesting how for all your radical posturing you’re still stooges for American imperialism.

Parroting the State Department is so revolutionary.

I’ve noticed this interrogative style more and more in my runs in with the woke, both offline and online.

So my question to you is — what the fuck do you think you’re doing?

This doesn’t make you look strong or confident. It makes you sound like a soyboy.

Tankie now means the same as Nazi — “a person with a political view I don’t like”.

I’ve seen people called tankies for not toeing the Trotskyist line on Stalin (this btw is the original meaning) but also for being socialists and not really vibing with the newest gender updates.

Also if you’re defederating with other instances over crap like this, why not just host a BBS?
