the information i got from rt was that putin says he’s invading bc the us is putting missiles in ukraine, which take a certain amount of minutes to hit moscow, which putin claimed was unacceptable to russian national security. from the west the only info you get is that he’s crazy and there was no reason at all for the invasion. so without even getting into details of is it actually true or not, it was nice to at least hear putin’s rationale, because the west’s explanation that he’s doing this for no reason except that he’s crazy is really insulting to the intelligence of everyone who is not a complete moron. but unfortunately that is 99% of people.

i wonder if your interpretation of the myth of sisyphus that sisyphus just doesn’t cope with negative pressure well enough. maybe we should look for a biological component to explain sisyphus‘s attitude.

“they… don't see how they're angering their locked-in customers.“

yea those apple employees are so stupid they have no idea that nagging you constantly is annoying. no of course they just don’t care about other people including their customers.

although to be fair sociopathy is essentially just another form of stupidity

that’s like saying a car is just one method of transportation. so if you get banned from using cars you have no right to complain. but i can tell from your spastic angry (not to mention logically incoherent) post you are a twitter user who’s afraid of their echo chamber changing

“As I often repeat,”

no one knows who you are. already you can tell this was not written by an intelligent person

“Yet most empirical studies fail to find any connection between extraversion and career success.“

right off the bat, obviously the most “successful” people don’t have careers at software companies. this sounds like those conversations people have like “are we living in a simulation” that would only make sense if you were unfamiliar with the subject matter. obviously the most powerful people in the world are the types of people who can form relationships with other powerful people. it seems like the premise of this article was to make nerds who make six figures feel better about themselves compared to the popular kids they went to high school with.

anyone making actual art is technically a fucking idiot compared to someone making money the same way a martyr is an idiot
