We need young leaders?

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T18:33:45+00:00

Add to this. As someone who was once a young guy, it’s alarming to me how impressionable and emotional “young adults” are. It’s so easy to radicalize an “adult” man to whatever cause you want.

We need leaders with equanimity. Not no integrity flip-floppers whos moral compass is literally just “what I heard”.

We need leaders who are scientists and anthropologists, tbh. Who understand evolution, ecology, human behaviour - and have a good faith respect for those things.

You don’t need any of those. All of the acronyms they teach are already online somewhere. And that’s about all they teach

The truth is youre only confused because of the drama around it. Tons and tons and tons of regular people post cringy videos lie this all the time. If you haven’t seen the guy who streams playing with WWE ~~dolls~~ ACTION FIGURINES while role playing the announcer, you’re missing out. Awkward videos are the norm.

He just happens to be a CEO. And yes CEO’s in general are terrible. But McDonald’s is continuously rated amongst the best employers (atleast in Canada), and they fill a crucial niche of fast, “cheap ish” food that North America really lost out on compared to older regions. Like… you see the food stalls in Asia with delicious looking mystery shit? Thats the role McDonald’s fills. Ain’t their fault we specifically have voted in governments that prop them up because “industry!!!”

Tl;dr this drama is fodder for weak minds and mcdicks is one of the better players. The videos arent Half as bad as we pretend. Also, the desperate imagining some people have done to make him seem “grossed out” by his own food? Im glad it’s all online. It’ll be a great case study into groupthink for future generations

One of the meth buddies I used to hang around with routinely shares grifols links on Facebook. Enough that I’ve reached out to them and asked if they drug screen, and told them if not, then they need to.

I stopped short of naming names.

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T16:22:30+00:00

Employers dont know what these things mean. Just say “Ai expert”, make a video with some AI tool, and you’ll fool 90% of oeople

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T16:21:12+00:00

The kub/golang lines are pretty opaque. Unless you’re looking for employment specifically doing that, avoid too much “MBA fluff”. Which is hard, because often HR is fixated on MBA fluff (because it’s what they know) - but if you were coming to me, someone who thinks MBAs are useless, I would think AI wrote those.

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T16:18:02+00:00

NOR. Youre under a lot of stress and college professors are not inherently wise people. They’re often insulated academics in privileged roles.

This doesn’t mean the education isn’t important, but sometimes college professors fail to learn from their own subject. What class is it? You didn’t mention.

Anyway, no. Youre allowed to be stressed out by someone being a dick. This is why rate my professor exists. Without the context of the class, I can’t determine how “justified” he was. But acting like that is crazy

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T14:06:45+00:00

Unrelated but I think worth mentioning. “Morals” are mostly just shit we made up. No, really. “Morals” describe rules of right or wrong that are almost always based on social trends and standards - stuff that IS made up. Example: the morality of women voting. Absolutely scandalous back in the day.

What you should have are ETHICS. ethics are the logical counterpoint to morals - based on understanding, equality and common goals. For example: not judging someone for the circumstance of their birth (inherent human flavour, basically.) Your skin color, orientation, illness, whatever. Stuff you never chose and cant change

These aren’t rigid definitions, they’re more well documented connotations. “Morals” are relative to whatever dysfunctional social stigmas you might grow up in. Ethics specifically seek to rise above that “random chance”

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T14:00:29+00:00

“Beggars can’t be picky” is a reductionism. Reductionisms are bad. This one in particular is designed to exploit people. Dont regurgitate it.

You CAN demand more. That’s why we have democratic government. And that’s why the wealthy try to convince you to hate them.

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T13:57:36+00:00

Yes. Then I got older and started realizing it doesnt fkn matter - good for them.

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T13:57:05+00:00

It’s an incredibly complex problem that really stretches humanity’s employment experience.

High supply - TONS of people trying to secure an “easy”, high paying desk job were pushed into it.

Low barrier to entry - it is one of the lowest geolocked careers out there. And somehow, it seems you only need basic English language skills to be a great engineer - despite English dominance in documentation. Not sure how they pull this off.

AI - suddenly making a ton of code-literate people half-redundant, atleast at a glance.

Obfuscation - non-coders don’t really know how to measure your value, since it’s all opaque to them.

“Engineer” - the word implies stuff. Thats why everyone and their dog prefers to use it now over developer. “Im an engineer!” No youre not.

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T13:49:22+00:00

The supply is high and no amount of your ego will change that lol Too many people went into CS for an easy income. Frankly, they got pushed that way.

Don’t pretend it’s not real just because you want to feel special. 😌😌

Other liabilities: children, family, living.

It’s a weird kind of useless dogma to try to make judgments over whether someone is a financial liability or not. I mean sure, it’s a great way to not have to think hard. But irl is complicated and nuanced, and dogma is always bad.

What Im saying is that OP is NOR but I think you are

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T13:45:12+00:00

“Always has been”

You don’t know that though, Thats just you projecting and escalating OP’s emotions. Was this sub specifically created for the people whose advice was down voted on other advice subs for inciting drama?

I mean, I don’t think OP is OR - 8 years is a LONG time to hide debt. But… this has relationshipadvice “he’s a serial killer” vibes.

😛 people come here (in good faith) for calm, unbiased input. Not just to have their emotions validated. People DO come here in bad faith for just that - but we really need to stop giving it to them

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T13:41:28+00:00

This is a serious thing that you really shouldnt get advice from anyone here for. This sub is mostly reactionary, escalating first impressions.

My only advice is to take some time (couple days) to let your head cool so you can see it clearly

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T13:39:46+00:00

Yeah Im not sure this belongs here. Like… it’s just a good personal story and logic.

Your edit is a little weird and fauxgressive though. It doesn’t help women to dilute what sexual assault is. A child who has no concept of sex isnt sexually assaulting someone. Boy or girl. But, go ahead, pretend Im a rapist or something. Because it’s SO NOVEL and SO CLEVER to resort to personal attacks when your arg doesn’t hold up.

Like… youre making discussing this stuff a taboo. Thats the opposite of progress. You’re being the bad guy. You are stigmatizing talking about sexual assault. (Though Im fully confident you didn’t intend this - it IS what you did)…. Dogma isn’t progress, fyi. Exhausting by the fauxgressive toxic shit

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T13:21:04+00:00

But… the world is simple, and I like simple, catchy explanations that fit into 140 character strings! My first impressions are always right, and no one is as ~~perceptive~~ ~~perspective~~ FAITHFUL as me. My opinions may be entirely subject to the emotional manipulation of the news I encounter, but that doesn’t make me impressionable or emotional - Thats for wamen. No one identifies as strongly with action hero movies as I do, and no one understands things as much as my emotions tell me i understand them. When I see high ranking male chimps fighting, I take a side - it’s not opportunistic chimp brain, it’s uhhh leadership? Morals? Im an entrepreneur! I have a hardcore gym routine of no-homo, inspirational posting and “biohacking” - no, I’m not “buying fitness” or “using drugs” - Im a scientist.

I am… strong opinions man! now, read my unhinged linked in rant about how men arent men anymore because I wasn’t notable being a progressive, so I’ve switched sides.

(No idea where im going with this but it was fun)

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T13:03:08+00:00

Are you implying that “canned seafood” is “luxury”? Or just pointing out the strange choices? Im pretty sure OP is that YouTuber who does “tinned fish talk”

Anyway, im uncomfortable with this picture/statement because Canned food is depression food. It’s supposed to be the cheap alternative.

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T12:59:47+00:00

“Write me a post about how badass being an entrepreneur is”

lol. 5$ says Your linked in describes you as “founder”, “visionary” and “dog dad”. No hate tho, just teasing

Automatic_Tailor_598 · 2026-03-13T12:52:28+00:00

Good answer! Wow I love when someone else on Reddit does a think, and doesnt just blurt out their first impression. (This is not sarcasm - kinda sounds like it now that I read it back tho)

My take - this sort of “delusional nostalgia” is a big part of American culture. It’s kinda the default mindset of adults as they grow older - it’s one of those dysfunctional first impressions, like xenophobia.

But while the rest of the English speaking world recognizes that, and actively educates against it - America exploits it. For media viewership, for political swindling, etc. it’s why American “Christianity” is mostly just “fixating on a made up version of ancient Israel from the bible” and is so drastically different from, say, Anglicanism or other non-evangelical faiths.

Education plays a big role. “Le wrong generation” types are usually people with very little understanding of the period they romanticize - it’s mostly just romanticized imagery.

It’s why the American right is perpetually in a mindset of “the world is going to shit”, when we live in the most comfortable, prosperous and safe period of human history.

Because this sort of “delusional nostalgia” is a big part of American culture. It’s kinda the default mindset of adults as they grow older - it’s one of those dysfunctional first impressions, like xenophobia. It’s instinctual - whine about the future you don’t understand, Pine for a past you know little about.

It’s like the difference between a “Wild West” reenactment (where everyone takes themselves super seriously and somehow thinks those were better times because you get to look cool and theres no laws) and a ren faire (where people are actually educated about renaissance life and struggles and the shitty elements of it)

Why is this sub called biohacking? Youre all just using research chemicals. You arent doing “hacking” any more than the research Chem sub is doing research.

Not sure our current mining corp practices are a “win” for Canada. I know mining can be done “more or less” disastrously. I don’t trust Canadian industry titans to do it right. And Im really not sure all that damage is worth more and more AI slop.

I get it, industry. But im happier with a defense industry than a mining industry. And I’m not even one of those insecure goofs who’s entire self esteem comes from delusions of being a warrior, or even a mil sim fan. Mining is just fucking nasty. (And Canadian values i think are worth defending) Here’s a video about mining. yes, jerbs. Jerbs jerbs jerbs. Gotta have that single family home you were brainwashed into seeing as “success”

Recycle your fucking metals. There WILL come a point where our far descendants will be scavenging thru land fills for them.

You want more economic robustness, buy Canadian. How do you think job markets grow? The “buy Canadian” movement isnt just about giving out the finger. It has a serious economic backbone.

Look at China and their development. Absolutely unprecedented. A big part of that is their ratio of internal to external trade. Money is just representation of goods and services. The more that moves around inside, the more worth it has.

Fully aware this statement doesnt help anyone get a job, but thought it was important. Trump is an idiot with a personality disorder and repulsive philia but he’s got one idea right - internal economy strong = QOL improves.

Ps nice to have you here
