You Pretend To Like Your Co-workers Everyday

February 28, 2023

Pretending to like your co-workers has become a survival mechanism for any 21st-century job. Throughout my adult life, I've worked at several places in vastly different sectors and there's one constant, fake people. At every job I've ever had, I've always slowly become known as one of the more disliked people. Some of it was my fault and that can't be denied. However, the majority of it came from the realization of others that I'm not the type to pretend I like people that I don't. I'm the kind of person that's perfectly fine coming to work, doing my job, and going the fuck home. I don't need you to make "small talk" or any of that nonsense. I'm good with only interacting when strictly necessary.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not blatantly rude to my co-workers and I don't condone rude behavior. However, its become clear that people have a nasty habit of conflating lack of interactions with having bad interactions. It's simply appalling to imagine that people truly believe they have the right dislike someone for not interacting with them the way they want you to. In my opinion, there's no more narcissistic element to our society than that.

Lastly, most people work shitty jobs for shitty pay and have nothing to be cheery about. If you're a happy-go-lucky person at work knowing that reality; good for you. On the hand, I choose not to be a professional ass kisser, particularly when I'm not compensated even moderately for it. Furthermore, if you're the kind of person that thinks other people have to interact with you the way you want them to; you're what's wrong with the world. The reality is, your co-workers are not your friends. If they could afford to never work again, you'd never see them again. Peace!

Peaceful Protest Is Bullsh*t

February 23, 2023

Peaceful protest is nonsense that has been propagated by elites/mainstream media to keep average people complacent. Quite frankly, it's bullshit. I want you to think about all the times that innocent people have been taken advantage of throughout history. The Great Depression and Slavery are the 1st things that come to mind for me. Now, take whatever instance came to mind for you, and tell me what prompted it to get resolved. I bet you it wasn't done through loud chanting and verbal stances. It was aggression, force, and violence.

Peaceful Protest Fail At Amazon

Just a few years ago, we saw it first hand with amazon. For years, amazon employees had been working under shit conditions for shit pay. They'd complained to their bosses, requested raises, tried to unionize and advocate for better working conditions but been foiled at every turn. Then, as with everything, it hit a breaking point. The workers decided to start striking and not working which Bezos still didn't necessarily care about. But, then they occupied the blocks of some of his mansions, they even set up a guillotine in front of one of them and guess what, they still didn't get the minimum wage increase they wanted. However, if they'd actually started recking his mansions and breaking shit, they would've probably made some progress to towards their goal.

One of the best philosophers of our time, Jordan Peterson rightfully says, " the threat of violence keeps interactions between men civil". He's completely right because men largely know what its like to be punched in the mouth. However, I would amend that statement slightly by saying, "the threat of violence keeps situations among people civil. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not openly advocating for violence against anyone. However, in that situation, clearly Bezos understood that the protesters outside his homes posed no real threat to him. Now, he would've probably taken them more seriously and actually increased their wages had they actually done something to force his hand. Well, that's it for today. Peace!

Woke SJW’s Should Have Their Own Country

February 21, 2023

For a time, being "woke" was a badge of honor in society. It meant that you saw/acknowledged the implicit injustices and prejudices prevalent in the world. It didn't necessarily mean you were trying to do anything about them but it did mean you acknowledged their existence. Over time, the term has morphed into something more insidious. When you hear the term "woke" now, you immediately think of a person who's ideologically driven to the point of madness. They're typically very passionate about their cause and view themselves as the worlds leading moral arbiters. Furthermore, they believe this pseudo-morality gives them the latitude to appalling ideas and rhetoric that have no logical foundation. What's worse, is that these people seem to be multiplying as the year's progress.

Who The Woke Are

These people tend typically have the same characteristics as well. They are progressive leaning, activist types that champion LGBT movements, which aren't inherently corrosive things. However, once you see how these people attempt to apply their ideology practically, you get a sense of why they're so insufferable. The American political system was founded upon the principle of respectful discourse; its the basis of the 1st amendment. Furthermore, the 1st amendment provides latitude for the best, most sound ideas to manifest themselves. Over the past years, it has become clear that this principle is under siege. The "Woke mob" as they've become commonly known as, do not engage in respectful discourse, and they don't want to. Any discourse with one of these people typically degenerates rapidly primarily because most of their ideas have no logical foundation to support them.

Why They Should Have Their Own Society

That said, I think the "woke" should have their own country apart from the rest of us. I think they should have their own society and be granted land that's capable of sustaining their basic needs (food, shelter, etc.). Then, we should bid them farewell and good fortune as they navigate the intricacies of developing a new functional nation. I say this because some of their points do have an ethical basis. For example, they should feel like they can express themselves free of judgement, and they should be able to call each other what ever pronoun they choose on what ever day they feel like choosing it. However, the rest of us should not have to participate in the practice of their ideology either.

To that end, I think it'd be relatively easy to get them their own country because they make up a small percentage of our overall societal population even though they seem to be the loudest on social platforms. I also think their ideas and practices would be so stupid that their society would collapse into chaos within a decade, so we'd just be able to reclaim the land once they've destroyed themselves. We'd just have to redevelop once they've had their way with it. Peace!

Allstar Weekend at Staples

Why Is Allstar Weekend in Utah

February 17, 2023

Outside of the finals, Allstar weekend is the biggest attraction of the NBA. It's typically a spectacle that's geared toward the fans. However, for some reason, this year they're having it in Utah, which is clearly not geared toward the fans. Utah is probably the most bumble fuck state in the country. I mean seriously, who wants to go to Utah for an "extravagant" weekend in the Mormon capital of the world? Now, no disrespect to Mormons, we respect all religions, but no one's clamoring to visit that state. I actually wouldn't be shocked if there were only celebrities and Mormons there all weekend.

Now, why would the NBA even choose to hold it there to begin with? My guess, Salt lake city, Utah is a particularly small market and events over the past few years may have left the Jazz organization financially crippled. Therefore, the NBA is doing this as a way to generate revenue for the Jazz organization. At least that's the only thing that makes any sense about this. Historically, Allstar weekend has usually been held in mid to large market sized cities because they attract the most spectators and generate the most revenue. This move is unprecedented for the NBA so something has to be up. Peace!

People Who Write Bad Reviews

February 16, 2023

If you're the kind of person who writes shitty reviews for fast food places, you have serious issues. For you to take the time out of your day, to go out of your way to write any review, let alone a shitty one, tells a lot about you. It says you're vindictive and that you don't have shit better to do with your time. What's worse is the expectation that most people that work in the places you frequent are happy all the time. I'm gonna burst some bubbles here; they aren't. Typically, they work for a shitty company, get paid a shitty wage, and have to deal with shitty people often. So, next time you walk into one of these places, keep that in mind and check your privilege at the door.

Writings Reviews Is Petty

The only thing you should be expecting from any of these people is that they provide you the goods/services you requested. Now I'm not saying you should accept disrespect from anyone. If an employee is going out of their way to disrespect you, by all means, get offended. But, to think these people have to be uppity just because you walk in is delusional and narcissistic. Furthermore, when you come at someone with negative energy, you should expect the same energy to be reciprocated.

Conclusion

"I had bad customer service"; shut the fuck up. The term "customer service" in itself is just a blanket term people use when they want their asses kissed. The truth is, you want people to kiss your ass and make you feel special and when they don't, you get upset. But guess what, you're not special. I'm not special. As a matter of fact, there are very few people in this world that are truly special. The very fact that you're the kind of person that leaves shitty reviews proves it. Grow the fuck up and keep your animosity to yourself. Peace!

Lonely Women Get Spiteful Around Valentines Day

February 14, 2023

For most people, Valentines day is a day to celebrate love. I think it's a day that was manufactured for businesses to make money off of female emotions. But, that's a story for another day. Almost every single year of my adult life, I've noticed a disturbing trend around this time of year. Women, typically college educated, get a little more irritable than usual. They're set off by things that seem benign by nature and that anger gets exponentially larger the closer Valentine's day gets. I've realized that these women are lonely and angry as a manifestation of that.

Valentines Day Impact

Women are much more socially influenced than men are, its just a fact. So, I can imagine that watching your friends go on dates and receive flowers and chocolates while you're not getting so much as a text can be very upsetting to these women. You work hard, have a good job, and deserve love. Actually, you don't deserve shit. No one cares about how hard you work, and you don't deserve anything you don't earn in this world. So save yourself the pity party and start learning how to make yourself more attractive so you don't have spend Valentine's days buying yourself chocolate and crying on the couch. That brings me to my last point; Galentines.

Galentines

Galentine's for those who don't know was a marketing spin on Valentines day to include all the lonely bitches out there. Its one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Women who don't have any meaningful intimate relationships are being told its ok that they have no one, which is obviously a lie because it make them unhappy. Then again, I see the genius behind the idea. Monetizing the insecurity of lonely women can be profitable, particularly if they're too naïve to realize it. So, while I don't think it's an ethical way to make money, I understand business isn't always ethical.

That said, speaking to women(people) directly, "your loneliness is not anyone else's problem. You're not entitled to act like a cunt because you don't have a significant other". Become a better version of your, so next year when this time comes, you'll have someone to celebrate it with. Peace!

Brooklyn’s Final F*** You To Kyrie

February 10, 2023

Kyrie being traded to the Dallas Mavericks is the biggest trade of this NBA season so far. For those of you that don't know, get out from under the rock you've been living under. That said, kyrie made a power move last week by demanding the Nets franchise offer him a contract or trade him. The contract he was seeking was reportedly worth over 200 million dollars for the next 4-5 years. If I was a betting man, I'd bet Kyrie thought the nets would just cave and offer him the contract. But, the Nets didn't want to commit all that money to a player that they don't think is dependable. So they traded his ass. By the way, I think they have ample evidence to support their skepticism. But, I still don't think they should have traded him.

Brooklyn's Kyrie Trade Scenario

At the end of the day, you should always do whatever you can to retain talent given its rarity. But since they did end up just trading him, lets just talk about that. Typically when a player as talented as Kyrie requests a trade, a frenzy ensues for teams to try and acquire them. But in this case, that didn't really happen. There were only 4 teams that entered the fray (the 2 L.A. teams, Phoenix, & Dallas). For days after the trade request was made public, the speculation surrounding the situation was that Kyrie would eventually end up with the Lakers which was what we all wanted to see and reported where he wanted to go. However, he ended up in Dallas with Luka Doncic which clearly wasn't by choice.

So, how did he end up with Dallas? The truth paints a picture about human nature that's actually pretty hilarious. So, throughout his tenure in Brooklyn, from an organizational perspective, Kyrie was a tumultuous figure to say the least. In my opinion, Kyrie's stances were commendable, but then again, I'm not a multibillion dollar corporation trying to make money. The reality is, the Brooklyn Nets wanted to stick it to Kyrie with this trade. They traded him to Dallas and took back a haul that really doesn't help them despite him wanting to be with the Lakers whose trade assets would've suited the Nets better. What I think happened was, the Nets owner was so pissed with the totality of Kyrie's tenure and that he had gave them an ultimatum that his anger overrode his logic so much that he wasn't even trying to make their team better.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Kyrie Irving should be a Laker, but the pettiness of the Brooklyn Nets owner didn't allow it to manifest. I do have to say, I am a little bias because I'm a LeBron fan so take that with a grain of salt. I just really wish Kyrie's ended up with my Lakers. Thanks for reading. Peace!

Year 20 LeBron Is Better Than Apex Melo

Year 20 LeBron Is Better Than Apex Melo

February 1, 2023

LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of his generation. In my opinion, He's the G.O.A.T., but others are entitled to think what they want. Anyways, in year 20, I repeat, in year 20, LeBron James is averaging 29 pts a game, 8 rebounds and 7 assists a game. He's not only putting up those numbers, but he's doing it on 51 percent from the field. Typically, when stars begin aging in the league, their stats and efficiency plummet as well. In the case of LeBron James, both his stats and efficiency have remained constant. In some cases, particularly with his points, they've actually increased in recent years.

Melo Stats Compared To LeBron

Growing up, people considered Carmelo Anthony one of the best scorers of all time. At his peak, whichever year you want to choose, Melo averaged 29 pts a game, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. However, when you look deeper into the numbers, Melo put up his 29 on about 45% or 48% (depending on the year you choose) from the floor which isn't bad, but also isn't better than 51%. Also, you can make the case that basketball is a sport where players have to play both offense and defense, and the stats I've presented don't mention that, it'd be valid. However, even at his absolute best, Carmelo Anthony was a average-below average defender. LeBron, who clearly isn't the "All-NBA" defender he once was, is still average-above average on that side of the ball.

Lastly, it should go without saying, but LeBron is lightyears ahead of Melo when it comes to facilitating for his teammates. Therefore, if LeBron in year 20 is as good, if not better on defense as apex melo was, better at facilitating, and better/more efficient from the floor, then he's clearly the better player. That being said, Carmelo is a legendary basketball player. He was and probably still is a better shooter than LeBron, we don't want to disrespect him in any way. But, there are levels to this and LeBron is just in a class of his own. No one ever thought we'd see this man doing what he's doing in year 20. It's an absolute spectacle to watch him work. LeBron, thank you for your service. We will miss you when you're gone. Peace!
