my beautiful and psychotically disciplined subcontinental doctor wife is holding my phone hostage despite my protestations that i need it to tweet (to do my Work that is my burden and my destiny) because she says i am supposed to be writing a book; when i ask her where she got that idea she spins around in the ugly ergonomic chair i stole at fistpoint from a neatly dressed software engineer whose cowardice and self-loathing i could smell (acrid, sour) as soon as he opened the door to my three sharp knocks, the tried and true best practice for door knocking in the pursuit of signatures on petitions to legalize the sport hunting of pit bulls within city limits, my charming stylish brutally motivated doctor wife spins around and screams at me that no one is ever going to read my "substacks" and that when speaking of her miserable disappointment in me she would appreciate if i could at least allow her the small consolation of telling her friends, colleagues, and patients that her "useless husband quit his job to not write a book, apparently," avoiding the small increase in her humiliation it would cause to tell them that, actually, it is substack posts for a meager 4 subscribers that he quit his really quite well paying job to not write, as a matter of fact.
to distract her from the bitter tears and spasmodic sobs i felt rushing up at me like a chromosomally overendowed walmart greeter charging in for a hot, wet, very tight embrace, i point out that her snot cup is full and needs to please be emptied (she hates kleenex and has a very bad cold) before the cat eats the entire contents again
@BknDrum@DavidBCollum he said these blackwell GPUs will use the same amount of electricity in 10 years so the railroad comparison needs more justification
The most vomit-inducing subspecies of professional victimhood crusaders is the privileged PoC woke brigade.
You've seen some familiar archetypes. The Brahmin Indian transplant, born at the literal top of the caste pyramid where they’ve been stepping on untouchables for generations, who parachutes into the West and immediately starts cosplaying as some brown skinned underdog railing against “systemic oppression." Meanwhile, their family still runs half the tech visas and corner store empires back home.
Or the Gucci-clad son of a Turkish multi-millionaire, living off generational wealth from blood money LARPing as a revolutionary firebrand against capitalism.
And now, lo and behold, that New Yorker writer who pens glowing essays about “micro-looting” Whole Foods. Of course she grew up in a goddamn mansion. Of course her parents were running a full-scale human trafficking operation that turned Filipino teachers into indentured servants - predatory loans at 60% interest, deportation threats, the works. $2.8 million in stolen visa fees, luxury resort bribes for school admins, the whole predatory grift. DHS literally ruled it was “a severe form of trafficking in persons.” Her family got caught and had to forfeit the mansion and the Mercedes fleet, pled to conspiracy, and got off with 3 months’ probation and a slap on the wrist.
Remember also Lydia Mugambe, that UN judge with an Oxford law doctorate, the “human rights” warrior who spent her days pontificating about protecting the vulnerable… who was caught literally enslaving her own housekeeper in a modern slavery racket? LOL
These people are the worst kind of frauds. Loudly protesting their “oppression” while perched on piles of unearned privilege and family exploitation. It’s the exact same energy as the rapey male feminist. The lady doth protest too much, methinks - Shakespeare nailed it centuries ago. That over-the-top virtue signaling is always a cover for the skeletons in their own closets.
Never trust them, not for a second. The louder they cosplay the oppressed, the harder you should look at the mansion, the trust fund, the parents, the FRAUD, and the housekeeper they’re probably underpaying in cash.
how does this not already exist? you spy on a woman from a tree outside her house or piss in a playground you have to tell your neighbors but not if you caused someone to no longer be
