For the past 32 years, I've done nothing outside the entertainment business. I've had some real highs and some real lows, but I love the work so much that I never once thought of quitting.

Some things I want to talk about more but don't because nobody's ready to hear it:

-How much I hate AI

-Why I think the 40 hour workweek is an outdated concept.

-Why being a sub elitist (meaning people who think anime should only be subbed and think that all dubbed anime sucks) is stupid and aggravating.

-How some people who complain about gender stereotypes often stereotype other people based on gender more than the people they complain about do.

-How creepy it is that we've become conditioned to accept rampant advertising in every part of our lives as normal.

-The way the government lies to everyone about how dangerous covid is and encourages people to minimize/downplay/ignore the dangers of covid.

Buddy, they know what they’re doing nine times out of ten and the tenth one won’t be CEO long, but they price in workmans comp for lost hands if they’re smart, otherwise it’s not actually a good business move.

The current local state of the labor market is not something the top brass is oblivious about; how much other employers are paying is absolutely something they know and care about.

Insofar as this is a “true evil of x” it’s the evil of physics and scarcity. The efficiency commissar will tell you to do it faster and risk losing a hand just as much as the CEO, and you won’t even be allowed to quit in communist regimes.

At work, coworker rambling about politics

Coworker: ... and that's why nothing will change until we start sending executives to the guillotine.

Me (actually working so only half paying attention): Haha, yeah, we could start with executives at (multinational conglomerate headquartered in our city).

Coworker: ... My DAD is an executive at [multinational conglomerate headquartered in our city]. Do you think MY DAD should go to the guillotine?

I guess the reason all that Backrooms stuff has never really fazed me is because I worked in on-site networking support for a while, and literally every city's downtown district is just Like That once you get off the beaten path. Not just the really big cities, either; the one I'm currently living in has a population of less than 250 000 – metro area included – and a downtown area about six blocks across, and the service corridors still manage to do some House of Leaves shit. At one point I was trying to map the route of a misbehaving network cable, started out in a shopping mall parking garage, and ended up surfacing in the basement of the casino across the street. Totally unsecured – apparently neither the mall's administration nor the casino's managers knew that particular service corridor existed.
