As somebody who's managed to land a highly paid bullshit sinecure of a job in an actively malicious industry, occasionally I wake up in the morning and think 'Gee I'd like to action changes upon the world that can help people during my limited time on Earth', then I read accounts like this and I remember that restrictive bureaucracy is alive and well in every field!

Yeah. I'd consider this worse than Floyd if only since there's a legitimate argument that it was more negligent manslaughter from positional asphyxiation compared to continuing to wale on a restrained suspect indiscriminately.

Yeah. Floyd argument for negligence but I can also see how the arresting officer could have done it unintentionally. Opposed to gangbeating a restrained man.

I'm tempted to pattern-match this to how deracinated people on an identity's periphery are more likely to develop toxic simulacra of that identity




I've always assumed it was due to the whole defining characteristic thing.


Even in Australia/America/other immigrant societies there's kind of a joke about how ethnic groups here are far more invested in their kitsch and acting stereotypically 'whatever', whilst when they go back home it's far more about nuanced regional identities and nobody stresses on it too much.

In the spirit of brutal honesty.


Autistic, 'nerdy conservative'-coded, I'd imagine is attempting to find a woman of similar academic achievements/intellect (which skews pretty damned left), unsure if he's sufficiently culturally Jewish to tap that market/soft arrangement marriage space, I'd guess his particular slice of Austin (Moneyed, conservative, techy) skews overwhelmingly male as well.


I'm sure there's women who'd be up for the task, but from how he talks about relationships he's probably pretty narrow-focus in terms of who exactly he'd accept.


The whole nerdy conservatism thing is just increasingly toxic to getting laid. My own misadventures on dating apps found that presenting anything adjacent to that had a dramatic panty aridification effect even in wealthy, educated circles and geographies.

Yeah but the vast majority of people searching for your thing have actual reasons to be going to your thing and the competitors aren't necessarily direct replacements.


So much of modern marketing theory was essentially invented for supermarket retail places and hasn't progressed with the times whatsoever.

As somebody who works in digital advertising.


If you don't place the ads there, an external ad agency/contractor will say you're doing an awful job and tout their far better numbers (which they're getting via selling to the already-converted). It's a race to the bottom and digital advertising as a space is a horrific bed of fraud and awfulness.

IMO with Online Dating the amount of stuff that'll be an instant killer when you're one profile of 100's and not to be too big a deal when you've got some actual traction/met in person is huge. Down to the gender dynamic and the lack of communicative nuance, really.

I was lucky and was able to get lots of dates. Many men are not. Removing themselves from consideration at the first stage of a long funnel would be an unwise dating strategy.




Essentially my point. A lot of stuff that a girl might nix you for on paper will be fine with some in-person chemistry and vice-versa.

Also frankly from hanging out with such circles, young female conservatives are in a pretty insanely good spot to meet people 'organically' but also tend to be sensible to date up in both age and resources.


Anecdotally I'd say there's a very limited market for young male conservatives who aren't plugged into families with means. Conservatism trends very masculine to begin with, and the rare young females who trend that way can suddenly have their pick of the litter with both males of the same age and males who are older.

Yeah there's vast economies of scale with children which makes the current situation a bit weird, both in the sense of within a singular family unit and within an extended family it's easier to conduct childcare when you've got a bunch of cousins reproducing at about the same time.

I've always figured that this sort of study simply identifies that the businesses that are sufficiently tech-orientated and abstracted away from people doing any actual productive work being able to essentially carry trophy diversity without it significantly hitting the bottom line.

which would add any successful people into this, as if making "kulak" an ethnicity.




From my understanding the categories are remarkably genetically coherent since they measured different cultural groups/ways of life, but it wouldn't shock me if there was also an element of 'everybody doing 8/10 or better at life is now a Tutsi' at the fringes.


There's been a bunch of revisionism on the topic that's very much of the 'ethnic strife didn't exist prior to colonialism whatsoever' brand of hilarity.

very few rungs on the ladder for a hard worker to climb (basically worker < supervisor <<< owner).




Honestly that's something I've increasingly noticed as I reach my late twenties and look at my friends.


Majority of whom have somewhat capped out in the first 3-4 rungs of their career where it's worker-centric & essentially an automatic promotion every couple years for just being technically proficient, and now it's way more of a patience/politics game to ascend managerial rungs. I managed to sidestep a lot of that via being super aggressive with company-switching + using some startups to get to a position of early seniority, but increasingly noticing my compatriots stalling out.

we might have to try 100 times




Far easier to do it at industrial scale these days, though. I managed to go on first dates with 50 different women last year in a mid-sized metro, all from the strength of polite conversation on an app. I'm fairly sure the vast majority of my forefathers wouldn't have met 50 'viable' women (Not that the majority of that 50 turned out to be viable after a first date) in a lifetime of living in a small agrarian village.

Tech-bros, Finance-bros and Consulting-bros are hated across the board




Having made my nest egg/fortunate through working in Gambling, I'd love to be a consulting bro. I got fortunate when my corporate structure shifted sufficiently that I became 'Head Consultant at (Minor consultancy that works exclusively with gambling companies)' versus 'Head of Department at Betbet'.

Even as an obese girl on online dating you're getting arbitrarily large amounts of interest in casual sex, which tends to lead them into an equivalent of the '7/10 girl gets casual sex from 10/10 guy but cannot get commitment but refuses to compromise loop' but instead it's 2/10 girl gets casual sex from 6/10 guy but cannot get commitment'

I date around a fair bit, and whilst I'd personally be surprised if any of my longer-term entanglements said that they were in a relationship with me... I don't find it inconceivable?


Though from experience talking to serial dating girls in their 20s I do feel like other men are a lot more prone to tangling their signals. I'd personally not introduce a girl to my parents/family unless they were a firm girlfriend, but I've seen girls stuck in the casualzone who've nonetheless done a lot of 'girlfriend activities' like that.

Same market for me and I feel like they tend to pivot a bit in the late twenties.


Combination of declining SMV, job progression starting to slow down from the kinda-automatic boost every 18 months/2 years and sudden realization of biological window. Nonetheless the whole 'I'll be married with kids in 5 years' thing ad infinitum is a thing.
