PILE BUNKER!

🥚❤

you know what? fuck it, man. the world is held in the fists of people who like to break things. at this point i’m saying who gives a shit. wear that victorian dress you don’t have an excuse for. dress up like a witch, pointed hat and all. who cares anymore. why worry about it when there’s bigger stuff to worry on. i’m saying. yeah, this lipstick is too dark, wanna share? i’m saying go talk to her, tell her that you like her hair. i’m saying she’s out of my league but i’m still swinging, i’m saying yeah i’m in a ballgown and it’s a pta meeting. what about it. eat the extra brownie, tell her your feelings. i’m saying if nothing matters than we might as well give nothing meaning.

Before I have to sign an NDA: providing tech support for billionaires sucks exactly as much as you would imagine.

We don't work directly with many billionaires but the ones that we do are uniformly whiny pissbabies who throw tantrums about totally normal tech stuff and try wheedle their way into free services by threatening to fire us if we don't give them free shit.

The problem is that every whiny pissbaby billionaire is perfectly willing to whine to the board members of companies and nonprofits we *do* want to work with, so if you fire the whiny billionaire as a client or get fired by a whiny billionaire as a service provider, it can destroy your business.

This the same with massive multinational corporations. Business owners get excited at the chance to work with them and see a potentially lucrative customer. They demand so much extra special treatment and labor that working with them destroys every business, hemorrhaging money, cutting quality standards to meet absurd demands. They ultimately end up taking cheapest, lowest profit option and receive it a massive discount, and never return or generate any other business down the line. It's fascinating how they all seem to be the worst people to work with on all levels, but company owners blind themselves to the risk, repeatedly. You'll see people walking around hollow eyed and numb, and it's because you did like a one word logo design for an Amazon subsidiary or sold copper wiring to Microsoft or whatever, everyone worked 100 hour work weeks for a month and they paid two shiny nickels for it. And they will not send business your way either, no chance, unless it's like, you're a company specialized in corporate accounting and it's some dude who wants you to print a t-shirt idea he thinks will make a billion dollars.

the side with the giant robots are the bad guys. make the mech a symbol of asymmetric colonial war. give us the story of the conscript squad with the portable rocket launchers and the tactics the other side calls terrorism and they call "yankees go home"

just once it wants a story where it turns out the mechs are an expensive impractical defense contractor welfare project suited for no actual war, and the main character who passed out from delight when a mech paired with her doesn't realize this until she's already been deployed. give it that moment where she figures out "oh fuck, command lied to me and i'm a six story target for any conscript with a mass-produced portable rocket launcher". yeah the hot lady on the recruiting poster? she has a desk job now and shrapnel in her shoulder and a deep well of bitterness. fuck you for buying into the scam.

if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills

where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*

I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".

can ppl pls reblog this version

Serbian here living in Belgrade! This is all true and I've actually seen some of these around the city a few times. They're amazing at what they do and really cool to watch up close because you can see pretty swirling inside them. It's not only functional but aesthetically pretty nice as well!
