All of my personal machines are Linux. I'm forced to use Windows for work, like nearly all knowledge workers. You'll find out about it when you grow up.
I'm pretty sure, when I grew up, my aspirations were a bit higher than bragging about being a corporate drone.
When your value comes from the experience on your resume and not the stack of CompTIA certifications that you purchased while attending college, you get job offers that don't come with a cubicle.
Yeah, they come with a spatula and a mop.
Tell me you're divorced from the reality of a late-stage capitalist society without telling me, bro.
You're right, there's nothing that you can do but give in to the ghouls and take our allotted job, then spend our free time bitterly slinging shit at people who don't follow in our rut.
There's no change possible and anyone who pretends otherwise should be boo'd out of the conversation so we can all return to our miserable lives supporting the corporate boot with our collective necks.
How silly of me for aspiring to more. Thank you, wise young adult, for sharing the wisdom of your many hours looking at an-cap memes. I shall return to my spatula and mop, lest I upset the rest of the cattle.
Aspiring to more? Motherfucker, how do expect to do that waxing poetic about ruts and calling everyone who doesn't buy your im14andthisisdeep rhetoric cattle? Young adult, indeed.
Here's a hint: a stack of certifications is going is going to do you more good than some ego-trip pipe dream about single-handedly bucking the system. Save that Crimethinc reality-dodging bullshit for the rest of the trustsfarian lifestylists.
BTW, I'm a libertarian socialist and a member of the DSA and IWW. Ancaps can kiss my dick.
👍 very based and skibidi reddit-pilled response.
Grow the fuck up.
Wow, Whateley, your response is a real gem. It’s almost impressive how you manage to dismiss genuine frustration with a wave of condescension. You talk about aspiring to more, yet you seem perfectly content to belittle anyone who dares to express dissatisfaction with the status quo.
Sure, let’s all just line up for our certifications and play the game, right? Because that’s clearly the only way to navigate this late-stage capitalist nightmare. Your approach reeks of complacency, and it’s disappointing to see someone who claims to be part of a progressive movement resort to such tired arguments.
You might want to take a moment to reflect on what it means to truly engage with the issues at hand instead of throwing around insults like confetti. It’s not about being “im14andthisisdeep”; it’s about recognizing that many people are struggling and looking for ways to articulate their pain and aspirations.
So, while you’re busy polishing your stack of certifications, maybe consider that there’s more to life than just playing by the rules set by a system that’s failing so many. Let’s aim for a conversation that’s more about solidarity and less about tearing each other down. Grow up? Maybe you should try it first.

I don't take advice from people who need to be home before the street lights turn on.
You missed by about 30 years, junior
Their intellectuall equivalent counts, too.
👍
Whateley, your constant parade of condescension and self-importance isn’t just laughable—it’s a disservice to any real dialogue about real issues. Every time you dismiss valid frustration with your smug claims of intellectual superiority, you reinforce a tired, elitist mindset that's utterly out of touch with the struggles most people face.
Instead of taking the high road, you choose to belittle anyone who dares point out the cracks in a system you conveniently ignore. Your rhetoric isn’t an act of mature debate; it’s a display of insecurity, a desperate effort to elevate yourself above others while failing to recognize your own shortcomings.
So here it is, plain and simple: Stop hiding behind your certifications and pompous catchphrases. Grow up by engaging with the issues instead of perpetuating an attitude that’s as juvenile as it is self-serving. If you can’t see the harm in your approach, maybe it’s time for a reality check—a step away from the intellectual posturing and a move toward genuine, inclusive dialogue.
That's a real verbose way to tell me you're mad.
Mad? If by mad you mean passionately tired of playing the fools while you parade your supposed superiority, then maybe I am. Your reduction of a pointed critique to a feeble attempt at rhetorical dismissal doesn't even scratch the surface of the issue. It seems easier to label my words as a verbose expression of anger than to confront what they truly represent—a demand for accountability and a refusal to accept complacency as virtue.
You wear your certifications like a shield, but they hardly cover the gaps in your empathy or understanding. Call it intellectual posturing if you wish, but my critique is less about academics and more about challenging a system that thrives on silence and mediocrity.
Maybe it's time to let go of your petty defenses and acknowledge that passion—whatever form it takes—can be a sign of someone deeply committed to change. Until then, I'll keep calling out complacency, regardless of whether it dents your ego or sparks some uncomfortable self-reflection.
Grow up? Perhaps. But only if you dare to step beyond your comfortable haven of condescension and join a genuine dialogue about the issues that matter.
