  • Maybe the people complaining drown out everyone else. But people like David Hogg and Greta Thunberg are Gen Z and out doing more than most to fix the problems they see. Like maybe people complain that Gen Z has no idea what files on a computer are, but that seems like a different thing than helplessness.




  • If I’m giving off the wrong vibe, I’d like to know so I can correct it.

    Even if you’re not ghosted, you’re very unlikely to get this information. Usually it’s just that they’re not interested and not the why behind it. And begging for the why is typically not productive. The only thing not ghosting gets you is knowing it’s a deliberate choice and not that they, like, broke their phone for weeks or fell into a coma or something else unlikely that prevented them talking to you.




  • People looked at what Biden did for the last few years and that didn’t help them.

    This is dumb. Thinking economic policy has immediate effects is dumb. Trump’s good economy was largely a result of Obama’s economic policy. The inflation during the Biden years was a result of Trump’s economic policy and COVID. It takes years to dig out of that hole. Everyone knew (or maybe not, people are dumb) that COVID stimulus was going to be inflationary; it was just a gamble that it would be less painful than a more 2008 style financial crisis. The whole world was experiencing inflation and Trump’s tax reform did not help the situation. Thinking tariffs will help fix the economy when the number one complaint is high prices is dumb.

And then this week it’s this. Maybe it is how they fire people; I haven’t heard of anyone else being fired besides this layoff in the ~4 years I’ve been there.

    How so? One circle is things you do on a normal day. The other circle is things you do when the world is ending. And their overlap includes going to work. So you go to work on a normal day and on days the world is ending. And for some freaking reason that’s true; even if the world is ending, you go to work
