    I don’t think it’s this “all rich jerks own commercial real estate” thing that everyone going on about. I get the feeling it’s more about the managerial/director types. The ones who are maybe well off but maybe not quite rich. My director owns a 150,000 tesla, but I don’t think he’s near well off enough to own an office building.

    Anyway, at a certain level and upwards, all you do is meet and talk to people all day. They value face to face communication because that’s a more effective meeting, and builds more rapport with the members.















  • Reddit is large enough that it’s user base is very diverse and niche hobbies can still get a substantial following. From what I can tell, us lemmings are all kinda the same nerdy person who’s into Linux and gaming with not enough of us to really make communities for divergent interests.

    When I first came in a few people were trying to get /c/bjj going but it just kind of fell off because the middle of a venn diagram of people who are nerdy enough to be here and also into grappling is like me and 6 other people

    Still, I peek in here now and again because the shitposts tend to be better.

    I disagree in that I think the movie is hilarious, but I dunno man, there are way too many people in forums like this declaring “Idiocracy was a documentary” so they can feel smart for a moment.

    If you watch interviews of Mike Judge talking about it, none of that is the direction he wanted the message of the movie to go. “Lead, follow, or get out of the way” is the theme he wanted. Putting a common man in a situation where they are in a position to do something is what it’s supposed to be about.
