    Worked with a Gen-z guy on an H1B visa who was super happy Trump got re-elected. (He was pretty unimpressive in terms of job skills, among other things.) Then he got laid off. And everyone was very concerned about him. I think he was supposed to get married or something.

    I spent a lot of time trying to teach that guy stuff. He had trouble grasping the most basic concepts.

    It makes me angry and sad and annoyed all at the same time.

      I really try to not waste my energy worrying about assholes anymore. “but maybe they’re a good/nice person in other ways” - I don’t give a fuck. that’s not good enough.

      if you are an asshole to other people, in any way, I will be an asshole to you, for at the very least I will simply not spend any effort to not be an asshole to you
