Fat women bully men.

You've seen it. You've lived it. What? I can't say this? But I'm saying it.

Fat women are sour about being fat. They even make their sexy coworkers dress conservatively because OFFENDS them.

Big fat fatty.

So gross.

To all of my homies in the workforce, you know that HR is always fatties!

Age gap only matters to society when the guy is older

Yeah, I said it. I've seen this first hand in REAL LIFE. Girl was 35 dude was 18. Only comments made at work were about how lucky he was.

No one talks about how maybe "he was taken advantage of." Also, just imagine the comments the other way around.

Make no mistake about what I'm arguing about. I'm talking about the double standard. And I'm being upfront.

Women are capable of making decisions. When we say otherwise we're essentially saying that they are inferior beings.

AI will turn people into children.

I've always been for AI but it's a double-edged sword. Everything in this universe takes the path of least resistance. Electricity, water, human effort. If you could reach your arm out and get an ice cold cup of iced tea would you bother planting trees and drying out leaves? I think it's beautiful that it's closing the technology gap that separates creatives from those who had to spend time learning to code. If you are knowledgeable in at least one or a few areas you could do a lot with AI to leverage your knowledge and skills.

That's all great and all. Really is. But eventually, and it won't take that much time, people won't bother to learn any skills. I can already foresee the dumbing down of the prompts entered over time. People used to be ripped from plowing fields and digging in mines. No one is complaining about the equipment that has replaced that dangerous manual labor. But look how quickly we are to pass off that burden onto machines. No reason to think that we won't do otherwise with cognitive labor.

Dangerous and damaging work is mostly now done by machines. And that's a benefit for us. Will offloading our cognitive tasks be a benefit for us?

We are hardwired to overcome obstacles. So much so that we derive a feeling of satisfaction from doing so. Super old movie from the '70s worth watching that touches on this topic: Zardoz. Not exactly the same thing but pretty much it. Anyway, what do you think?

Everyone is checked out. Everyone.

Everyone knows they are underpaid. We all know like 99% of the fruits of our labor go towards making a few people MORE wealthy. You can see it in the faces of your coworkers. You can see it in their attitude. I wonder if anyone has put a dollar amount on this.

At this point most people are paid so little for their efforts they just don't care anymore. High earners won't resonate with this. They're doing really good but they don't know how much better they should be doing. Comfortable is comfortable. They used to be 11 layers removed but now they're like three layers removed. Removed is removed. But soon they'll feel the pinch.

We can't afford to move away. We can't afford to save. Being CHAINED to a job is slavery. It's slavery disguised.

The sexual power of women is overlooked when equality is calculated

It's a tough area. A total gray area. Not all women have the power. MOST DO. Even the not so hot ones. Generally speaking, I would say any woman between the ages of 18 and 50 has some degree of sexual power.

Why? It's usually men who are in positions of power. Any grown adult who has spent at least a few years in the workforce knows that an attractive woman has a lot of latitude in the workplace.

They can suck at their job, they can get emotional, and it's all okay. Men don't have that privilege. If a man gets emotional he's considered mental.

It's already "understood" from the get-go, that a woman can be emotional. They are given that degree of latitude right from the start. It's okay for them to cry on the job or get pissy. If I cried work I would be gone the next day. No doubt.

I'm not angry about this. Not at all. But it is depressing that I have to always be super positive no matter how I feel. And if I show anything less than super positivity, I'll face punishment. I'm not angry about this, just really.... repressed I guess.

I'm curious about your opinions on this. Do you think this is because guys want to fuck almost every woman, or that they recognize female weaknesses and just deal with it?

Edit about men in power: okay, so I recently worked at the super progressive Fortune 100 company.. during the classroom orientation that lasted 6 weeks they had multiple people come up to the podium mention that even though we see men in authoritative positions there it's not because they are sexist. It's because women don't want those positions. They flat out came out and said this. They offered these positions to women and they don't want them.

I'm a guy. So now you can back out and keep scrolling. But seriously, if the genders were reversed this would be a super huge deal. But I'm a guy so it's a nothing burger.

So here's the story: I started a loan application online and had a few phone calls. Had to meet in person today to close. A girl brought me into the building and up the elevator into the open office area. As soon as I walk in this lady around 50 or so tells me that I got "tag teamed" because I ended up talking to everyone there through the phone calls. And the way she said it....

I was there for over an hour. At three separate times she rubbed my upper bicep. Not just the pat or a quick hold, a massage type rub.

I don't care, really. I don't feel violated. But how would this be if I were a woman and she was a guy? I'm not really saying it should be an issue. But we live in a rule-based society proclaiming equality.

Wealth is relative. Always. If the only currency is clamshells and I got 7 out of the 10 that exist, I'm filthy rich. If someone figures out a way to make clamshells, suddenly I'm less rich. If too many clamshells are made I could become poor.

Welcome to fiat currency.

The powers that be do not like the average person being able to hold their wealth in actual assets. Money is a lot like Chuck E Cheese tokens. It's worth as much as they let it be worth. Real wealth is in assets. Your paycheck is in Chuck E cheese tokens. So are your savings. And your insurance policies.

When someone actually does something worth anything, value in the economy is produced. The production of an air conditioner, fixing someone's brakes. These things produce value. However you measure that. When someone produces money out of thin air, the power of that money comes from the value that was produced by other people who actually did work. The value of that money comes from diminishing the value of the total money supply (inflation).

Inflation is theft. The ultra wealthy has most of their wealth in assets: stocks, real estate, businesses. But when it comes time to convert those assets into currency, (an easily tradable medium) they have to use dollars or whatever. They control the power of those dollars through inflation. Through inflation they control how wealthy they are.

Dollars worth less = assets worth more because labor becomes cheaper to them. You becoming more poor is what makes them more rich.
