Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct

  • That's not my definition, just my observations.

    If I went out of my way to make someone feel small I would regret it afterwards, not be proud of myself.

  • From the perspective of a rich abusive CEO, they probably are happy. They get off on having power over people, and they do. Plus they can make more money than they can ever spend.

    People who become wealthy naturally seem to have some sociopathic traits, but generally they also don't know how to stop working. They get everything they want by doing things they enjoy doing.

    I have a brother who is the CEO of a fairly successful business. He loves bragging about what he's worth, and went from watching Silicon Valley and laughing extra hard at the bit where a bunch of companies in the show are pitching how they "want to make the world a better place" to giving me those words verbatim after bragging about how much money he has. He talks about how hard his job is and he wouldnt wish it on anyone.. But I have worked with him on previous businesses, and he quite literally can't stop working (even when high and drunk at 2am). I mean he literally CAN'T turn it off.

    Throughout my childhood (and still now), this person used extremely obvious domination tactics on the people around him. One of his favourite moves is to either start texting or talking to someone else while I am in the middle of speaking to him. I am willing to guarantee that having the ability to use obscene wealth to dominate people makes him slightly fucking hard.

  • Believe it or not, social interaction isn't limited to social media. Or so I've been told...

    • How did Diddy get off with so much?

    Jump

  • Diddy parties only happened because famous people enjoyed them, and he for sure still has a ton of artists who idolize him (and a ton of new young ones probably do now too).

    • There is no such thing as truly objective YouTube search results anymore

  • I had to go to California recently, it was crazy how much higher quality the videos YouTube recommended were while I was there.

    • What are some "toy programs" you've created?

    Jump

  • My most used one is a two letter terminal alias (zz for zigzag) that copies all the track information from a specified playlist, or from my “download" playlist if none is provided. It can also read from CSV and text files in order to remove all special characters and repeated words from each name. Then it outputs a formatted version to my clipboard, which I then paste into another program's config file. Then I wait...

  • Sounds like someone who reads this article probably would too. Which is why it's a dumb article.

    Is it possible to benefit? For sure.

    Will YOU, the average cancer patient, benefit for 2 years? Probabaly not.

  • This article will for sure leave some cancer patients feeling disappointed after tripping. I tried acid when I was 19 - everything I read told me it was going to be a life changing, eye opening, personality upgrading experience. Turns out it wasn't, and I definitely felt a bit let down. Personally, I don't think telling cancer patients shrooms will cure their depression is at all wise.
