Not really, because guys that age are 100% INVISIBLE to females. All you got is zits and a curfew, which you can’t even violate because neither you, nor any of your friends have a driver’s license.

A lot of Natural Managerial types think pointing a finger and saying “Do That” is the same as actually doing it, and they take credit for it because their Natural Managerial skills made it happen, not the actual work.
This isn’t just confined to workplace environments. Lots of people are like that in home/ family environments, relationships, friendships, etc.

I agree. Now that I’m old, my tastes are finally starting to gel, but I’m still always looking for great new musical experiences. I’ve gravitated to LOTS of great music, and even entire new genres, that became a regular part of my listening long past 14.
I started playing the guitar again during the pandemic, after stopping for decades. Now I’ve become a good enough player, that most of the time, I’d rather just listen to my own self-played solo guitar music. That definitely wouldn’t have been on my radar in my teens.
- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 4 days ago:
Because spineless Establishment Dems have some obsession with “playing nice,” even with vicious MAGA Nazi enemies. I have a million questions, starting with:
Why didn’t Biden have HitlerPig and his henchmen arrested within the first 60 seconds after his Inauguration?

So fucking stupid.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
During the pandemic quarantine, I took up the guitar, but unlike most Covid hobbies, I’ve stuck with it, and gotten pretty good.
Getting good at something difficult results in great feelings, as you can imagine, but I wasn’t prepared for how much better it made me feel. My self-esteem and confidence went through the roof, and made me realize that I’ve probably been operating under a low-grade depression for my entire life.
Sometimes we’re depressed and don’t even know it. You come to accept that it’s just how you feel, and that’s your life. You don’t even know it can be better, until it is.
- Comment on Reddit bought a giant ad in Paris, urging young french people to create an account 1 week ago:
They are carefully curating their membership so it’s more MAGA-friendly. They’re turning it into Twitter.
- Comment on Reddit bought a giant ad in Paris, urging young french people to create an account 1 week ago:
Maybe they shouldn’t have permabanned thousands of active users like me, with a 12 year account and nearly 1 million Karma. People like me built Reddit, and as soon as HitlerPig was inaugurated, the DOGE Goblin demanded that Reddit purge its membership. Now they’re stuck with bots, novelty accounts, punsters, Russian Propaganda Farmers, MAGA activists, etc.
- Comment on Reality vs Fantasy 1 week ago:
I used to work in management for a Fortune 100 company, and they’d send people around for little afternoon management seminars on one thing or another (usually sexual harassment stuff).
One day, one of the visitors mentioned that money wasn’t even in the top 5 reasons that people work, and tried to move on from that, but I stopped them, and made them repeat it, and then said “Well that’s not true at all. It’s literally the ONLY reason ANYONE goes to work.”
They tried to argue it, but I just said "If it’s a Payday Friday, and the boss doesn’t hand out the paychecks, and tells everyone that there won’t be any future paychecks, but they’ll see everyone on Monday, the boss will walk into an empty office on Monday. Nobody works for any reason other than a paycheck "
And that was a great job, that almost everybody reading this would enthusiastically grab without thinking twice, but nobody is going to do it for free.

We live in a world of Supply & Demand, and he won’t get the supply of labor he requires unless he meets the demand for proper compensation. It’s the simplest economics there is.

Tower Records and/or Borders Books & Music.
- Comment on Genius 3 weeks ago:
If you’re going to be self-employed, at least be a good boss to yourself. It doesn’t make sense to treat yourself like the worst boss you’ve ever had.
- Comment on Genius 3 weeks ago:
That’s not “Passive” income, if you have to attract 50-60 people per day, pretend to interview them, while subliminally encouraging them to use the vending machine. That’s called a full-time job, and probably illegal, too.
And that isn’t $300/day profit, he has to pay for those items in his machine. The profit is probably no more than 50%, so $150/day. For an 8 hour day, that’s $18.75 an hour. That’s a lot of work for not that much money. It certainly isn’t “Passive.”

The fact that these liars weren’t struck by lightning while posing for this photo, is proof positive that the God they claim to worship doesn’t exist.
- Comment on They are so clueless they don't realize that this just pisses everyone off. Shove your banana 3 weeks ago:
People just don’t want to work no more, so you got to give them snacks to keep them engaged.
Here’s an idea, lower your profits by 15%, triple everyone’s pay, and watch them all walk in whistling a happy tune every morning.
Or, y’know, give them a banana. That should work just as well.

This is MAGA. Incompetence is their brand. I doubt they can make any of that happen efficiently.
Besides, just forcing them to jump through all those hoops on every applicant is already a win.

And drag out the interview, ask lots of questions, repeat questions, never make a move to leave until they order you to. Eat up the interview time of several applicants.

No, it’s not. Even if they catch on to it, and start working harder to weed out applicants, it will have caused a bottleneck in their system that will slow them down. And piss them off.

Plus Red Hat spelled sideways is Hatred, sort of.

The Constitution doesn’t give us freedom OF religion, it guarantees freedom FROM religion. People can have any religion they want, the government just can’t allow it to influence government in any way.

Ever see one of those photos with HitlerPig in the middle, with a group of people all with one hand on his shoulder, all with their eyes closed, praying? And there in the middle front, is HitlerPig, who we all know is an absolute Sociopath, and doesn’t believe any of that crap.
