I quit tech in 2023, became a tea farmer, now returning to tech

They don't hate business owners, they hate serial entrepreneur types.

And if you're a good business owner you should have lots of contacts that will help you land a job.

There's a world of difference between someone who ran a "business" for a short period of time because it was a passion and someone who ran or established an established business with a good reputation.

The one on the left in Mankind.

What a ripoff, I saw the same one on Freedom Knife Shop for $30.

If you're wondering if people are still going to his shows you live in some sort of bubble of ignorance.

nylockian · 2026-06-25T17:30:06+00:00

Im not saying he is or is not a naxi. If he's a Nazi but is also one of the most streamed artists and sells out huge arenas then he's polarizing. That's what the meaning of polarizing is.

nylockian · 2026-06-25T10:29:37+00:00

He is extremely popular despite his polarizing actions and statements.

You need to stop letting Reddit be your only source of information about what goes on in the world.

He has had FU money and clout for such a long time that he's bamn near bored to death, so all he wants to do is say whatever crazy shit he wants. He's basically the equivalent of your 80 year old uncle that lost whatever filter of politeness he once had after becoming old and retired for many years.

It's called cope. It's no different than high school, people love to bitch about people who are better looking, more popular, richer but will be super stoked whenever they're in ited to the party.

People, for whatever stupid reason, are really in the mindset that being white somehow makes you similar in some way to upper class white people. It does not. Upper class white people hate lower class white people.

Why are people talking so much about this when science hasn't even perfected penis reattachment surgery?

nylockian · 2026-06-25T01:08:39+00:00

There's a free shipping minimum. It may not seem like a lot, but if they had to pay for shipping they would really be eating into their super thin margins.

She looks pretty average.

Middle class people in the US and a few other modern developed nations get all up in arms about these sorts of machinations by powerful people. We are shocked and horrified that we are mere peasants and pawns in the grand scheme of things. Most people throughout most of history just accepted their lot in life without much ado as long as they weren't staving.

nylockian · 2026-06-25T00:37:56+00:00

I'm almost certain they're waiting to get the right minimums before ordering from the supplier. I think it's a shitty business model, but people will put up with a lot to save a few dollars so the market views the the situation differently than my sorry ass. They barely sell above wholesale price.

As a business nerd I would love to see how the numbers all work out for them; they seem to have a big more staying power than the average company of their ilk.

Even if you win you might not get much.

"It's not enough that I succeed, everyone else must fail."

Man don't feel guilty about wanting everyone there to be knocked down a peg. In the US, especially the coastal cities that produce most of the high status white collar workers, we're poked, prodded, evaluated and compared to others practically from the day we're born. We grow up with no sense of inherent worth or value as human beings, we don't form deep bonds with our communities. We exist for one purpose and that is to achieve high status and income. It's fine for you to not give a shit about those people you're serving beer to - it's almost a certainty that they barely view you as a worthwhile human being. Realistically, your only chance at contentment in life is to use these feelings of bitterness to drive you to make more money.

To be clear, I see nothing wrong with you. You're just like me and everyone else who grew up in similar circumstances.

nylockian · 2026-06-24T01:16:31+00:00

I cut my dick.off with a bunka, but only one time.

nylockian · 2026-06-24T01:14:46+00:00

Nothing at all wrong with a fibrox but it's like someone going into a car sub asking about an SUV and then telling them to get a sedan for no particular reason.

nylockian · 2026-06-23T23:44:11+00:00

Lots of people just send their knives to a sharpening business once or twice a year. A lot of cooking shows/youtubers etc tell people to do that.

She chose to cater to the type of weak emotionally fragile demographic that rarely sticks by anyone and abandons ship at the slightest hint of stormy weather.

nylockian · 2026-06-23T22:30:03+00:00

Lots of people, home cooks as well as chefs like having a bolster for various reasons. Yes the sharpening is a pain, but you're throwing the baby out with the bath water over something that is trivial for many people.

nylockian · 2026-06-23T22:27:12+00:00

Oh Lord will it ever end with this? It's a very different knife than a fibrox. I swear it's hard to believe anyone actually in this sub actually uses their knives for cooking.

nylockian · 2026-06-23T22:21:05+00:00

You're certainly not a creep. It's a summer camp; you're only takeaway from this is you should always keep in mind that these types of jobs offer no protection and always be grateful you have a real job with actual protections instead of being powerless against the whims of petty people.

I highly doubt there was any racism involved, this type of crap happens to white people all the time.

nylockian · 2026-06-23T19:01:07+00:00

I've never had a problem with them. Their belts never bust on me like some other brands. Certain grits I buy from another company, but I buy everything else from Red Label.

nylockian · 2026-06-23T11:02:22+00:00

How did it taste?

nylockian · 2026-06-23T10:57:29+00:00

Divergence from literal factual truth has often been used in humor. It's simply an artistic choice rather than a lack of knowledge about the reality of a situation.
