for those who haven't been following, this nepal story is fucking crazy:
- bunch of teens and early 20s kids plan start a social movement against the current regime on social issues and econmical inequalties
- government gets wind of it scaling and tries to geoblock social media
- people get more pissed off, start protesting
- government cant handle the protests, lift social media ban
- doesn't do anything, people just organize further
- burn down parliment building, pm's house. beats the shit out of the finance minister in the streets, kills the pm's wife.
- kids elect their own new PM on their discord server, ex-chief justice of the supreme court who was part of the 1990 revolution that ended the monarchy
- army head ackowldges the validity of the discord vote and is meeting the new interm PM to discuss elections for new leadership going foward
One reason we are all sadder and lonelier is that balconies are essentially disappearing from contemporary architecture. They are becoming less common, smaller, or more symbolic than functional.

My uncle is one of my favorite people, and his favorite character is Popeye. I have gotten him many Popeye-themed gifts over the years, like socks
You don’t get it by being the best – you get it by slipping into the right crack, learning how to look busy, saying yes with just enough energy to stay invisible.
Network with people who already don’t do shit.
Apply everywhere, even if you’re not qualified, because half the people in those jobs weren’t either.
Fluff your resume, learn to talk in circles, and remember: in corporate land, perception matters more than production.
Once you’re in, never volunteer for anything extra.
Keep your green bubble on Teams, drop a “per my last email” once a day, and only ever ask questions you already know the answer to.
It’s a racket, but it’s real.
You just have to be more boring than suspicious.
The money’s in the empty space
