      No? I think the other question is what the community is for? I think it’s appropriate based off the community description, although I don’t remember the last time I have seen a post that wasn’t obviously satire.

      Indeed, for me, it was the astrophysics PhD. Reading it hurt me physically, besides killing his joke at the spot.

        Twice when I’ve been out drinking have an older female sat alone all night, close to and staring at our group, then the first thing they say is “I’ll let you know I actually have 3 PhDs and 2 doctorates, and I gotta say (some random bullshit)”. Like “I don’t think that joke you told two hours ago was funny”. We just knew they would say some weird shit as soon as we saw them, the whole “I’m super smart” thing was just so much worse than expected.

        Yep. I know a few people who got their workplace to pay for it. It was an incredibly easy way for them to pad their resume and ensure higher pay ranges at stupid workplaces that gated stuff like that.

        Only came up when we were talking about schooling (I was still finishing mine).

        Everyone that made a big deal of it though, complete morons.

          May not be working at Lowe’s much longer, but they make a point that a piece of paper isn’t a big deal. I think it’s the CFO that doesn’t have a degree?

          Anyway, CEO is proud to say that a diploma on the wall isn’t a free ride. Busted my ass there for 3-months, got a promotion in the bag tomorrow. OTOH, just got a surprise interview for a tech job that pays 3x more. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Win either way!

      You should meet my brother then. He has an MBA and CPA and runs an accounting firm. He’s pretty chill and treats his workers extremely well, while taking most of the lame work for himself.

      Yeah, usually, what’s perceived as intelligent by most is some of the theoretical reasoning, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and analytic-logical thinking that you learn and practice in higher education. But somehow, those with business degrees never have any of those qualities. I do wonder what they’re being taught instead.

        That used to disqualify a political candidate. Not holding a country’s congressionally-approved support funds hostage for political reasons, rape (literally clarified as such by a judge in open court), taking part in a violent failed coup, participating in a fake elector scheme to steal an election, using campaign funds to illegally pay off a pornstar he banged while his wife was home with his newborn, violations of the emoluments clause, asking a governor to “find him more votes” to overturn an open and fair election, repeatedly walking in on teen contestant dressing rooms while they were changing, illegally seizing classified documents, storing them unsecured and refusing to give them back, credibly being accused of being a Russian asset, hating peaceful protestors at a church for a photo op, lying with every breath, etc…

    This guy spent the whole date creticing the restaurant we were in. Not once did he mention that satern was visible, or that the JWSt is scanning the Orion cluster looking for new young planets. Brought up the moon and he mentioned mineing rights and opertinitys to Frack the moon. Only thing he was exited about space was Elon and his polluting starlink WiFi adapters that have destroyed the night sky.

          Why? In my experience, it corrects more often than it fucks up, so if you stopped using it because you don’t like the one mistake it makes every 100 words or so, you should probably reevaluate your decision.

          And if your keyboard app is making more mistakes than it corrects, you might want to consider trying a different keyboard app.

            It’s a much bigger problem when you speak multiple languages and leave them all enabled in the keyboard. When writing a simple comment like this, I fuck up the typing of one out of every 5-10 words on average and auto correct fixes them for me. In some other contexts like replying to a work message, it is auto correct who fucks up that often.

            Personally I avoid using autocorrect for the same reason I avoid using a calculator for mundane calculations. I ascribe to the belief that your brain works in the same way a muscle does; that is, if you don’t use it… you lose it.

            In many instances, autocorrect can be a god send (someone with dyslexia no doubt finds it invaluable for example), but for the layperson, my opinion is that it’s just another tool that promotes laziness, and a lack of thought around grammar/spelling etc.

            I’m not suggesting my way is the correct approach, but rather offering an alternative viewpoint as to why some people disable assistance tools such as autocorrect.

    NPCs with their programming are insipid as fuck. Imagine being around idiots like this that never self actualised in their lives.

      This guy is a satire poster mocking the type of posts you see on LinkedIn all the time loudly bragging about being sociopaths and workaholics.

        Another good satire account to follow on Linkedin is Conksat. Their brave interns risk everything for their cutting edge aerospace solutions, like tactical cessna’s and extension cord powered satellites

          Tactical Cessna is closer to reality than you think, when you look at some of the cheaper UAVs out there.
