You've convinced me, I'm going to stop complaining about corporate slop and the connection between big tech / VCs and the awful political situation in the most advanced country in the world. I will try to glaze Liquid Glass from here on out, say some nice things about the richest man on earth who kept quiet about the fact that he pays people to grind video games for him, and make sure to give David Sacks and Jason Calacanis the benefit of the doubt next time they are whining like babies online for a Silicon Valley Bank bailout.

I think the OP website is pretty cool by the way.

> he pays people to grind video games for him

The POE shilling might be what pisses me most off about him.

I know you’re being glib, but for me it’s probably working to shutter USAID at lightning speed leading to tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Though he also sucks at video games.

Yeah well of course there are actual bad things that weight heavier on the scale.

But the good thing about this is that it is so lame.

The compulsion to interpret people's comments in bad faith then retort with condescending snark is a problem too.

But hey, at least it isn't memes, right?

I don't think I misinterpreted the condescension you dished out by blanket labeling a trend of mostly valid critique as psychological compulsion and performative misanthropy.

You certainly did, because I wasn't referring to valid critique.

Mainly I wanted to suggest that the folks you're diagnosing might have valid reason to complain. I could have done it more tactfully, but that's what came out.

Your post reads to me as a complaint that people who complain too much have a problem.
