They're somehow able to focus on enjoying the lifestyle their employment buys them rather than endlessly grinding in hopes of climbing the ladder. Most of these smug pricks even have happy marriages.

Maybe like a deep-down envy thing? Because engineering top-talent lives in the same industries and office spaces they do, and make enough to be seen as standing on the lower rungs of the Big Ladder, but unlike their suited brethren they're *happy*.

my older bro cofounded this moron app Superfan that was like popularity stock market, you Liked posts before they got popular to earn credit to buy Superfan status on posts or "real" things like the Eiffel Tower or whatever. Turned out a *lot* of people wanted to be Superfan of CSAM images.

They already hurt themselves by saying yes. Changing their minds now will buy them nothing. Johnson knows this and is twisting the knife, because he's a real politician who really wants to win.

I freeze up completely when people come at me with remotely personal questions. Ask me what music I've listened to lately and I literally won't be able to remember for the next half an hour.

Them and people at the fencing club sometimes. Being around people is real stressful for me, not at all a net positive experience most of the time. I only want to deal with it when the content of the conversation is worthwhile.
