I sent my friend a contextless screencap of the bulletpoint with the JP Morgan guy's quote from your microessay, and she sent back: "this sounds like fear." I reread the microessay with this lens. Yes, this does all sound like fear. It feels insulting to me, a poor, that these rich and powerful people can be so motivated (possibly solely motivated) by fear -- even though we've been told in studies and parables throughout all of human history that too much money and power only lead to that one place, it just seems like they should be more in charge of their emotions; if I have to be thinking about emotional regularity all the goddamn time, shouldn't JP Morgan guy? Instead, the moment he doesn't get buttpats at a rate of 15x/sec, the fear starts creeping in and they lash out via HR "recommendations" that we all need to take "emotional culture training" and be posting more kudos on Pingboard. Freeze their accounts and send them all back to kindergarten tbqh.
Have an amazing break and holiday!! TAKE AN ACTUAL BREAK THIS TIME :index-pointing-at-the-viewer:
okay your friend and you cooked because all of this is EXACTLY fear-based and whatever charli said which is to say: they can’t strong arm us into being cordial which is the small steps toward change, i hope. stay tuned!! and i am LOGGING OFF this week for at least two, as i need to literally touch grass and be fully human for a bit. thank you as always for reading ren! and happy Honda days!!
Okay going to be sitting with that breakdown for quite some time. What do Jamie, Timmy, Kimmy, the man who shall not be named, and Charli have in common? Turns out, everything. Shook.
Idc about your newsletter usually (as it's full of same takes i read everywhere anyway, from what I read so far, average libleft takes rewarded by slop mill this platform is) but seeing that picture in this post and your commentary boiling down to that using old tech as prop is cool clout chasing pissed me even more today. A hobby I was ridiculed for years suddenly got so popular and cool for ex-normies who started larping as quirky since 2020. Especially that I saw here fucking 2 Snow G3s, not one, used as prop for internet clout pics/"music project cover" especially pissed me off and no wonder prices of previously least desired Apple portable (due to shit quality of it, backlight issues, GPU issues and hell it's to repair and no easy clout like with showing off the toilet seat) went up so much. That getting even spare keyboard in decent price for my snow G3 is nightmare, when I used it quite often until it started giving up. I used it for lot of tasks without virtue signalling as everyone does and was into retrotech way before these ironic oldwebcore zoomers or whatever were.
i’m sorry this pissed you off but also this comment is quite rude but thanks for reading because you do not have to if you don’t care about it great use of free will i guess lol
