It seems like many /tea/s are white collar tech workers. You guys are like space aliens to miss. me* >>331051 If I could have my own place, I would own a bookstore. Not very profitable these days sadly. I don’t think /tea/s would like the books I like. I can’t really read fancy novels. >>331060 I don’t think I have any real talents. I can write good non fiction papers when I put the effort in and I can fix stuff and that’s it. I tried learning some basic CS and programming out of curiosity to see what it’s like but it’s just frustrating. Tech feels like a big city that grew over decades with no real city planning. Like the Kowloon walled city. >>331055 Well I don’t know. I have a feeling AI will lead to the emiseration of a whole bunch of professsions. Either way, you office workers are like another species to me. The music you listen to, the books you read, it’s all so alien to me. Hah. >>331060 Repulsive? You mean the industry or the machines?
I've been reading more of GR every night and I got to two chapters in a row featuring content so gross and lurid I cant even type it here in good taste that's the Pynchon I know >>331058 It's ok I just wage at a Costco >>331060 One chapter is a drug induced hallucination where Slothrop gets flushed down a toilet in disgusting detail and it's the most vivid prose section of the novel so far
>>331059 I'm also mainly reading things lately that I cannot describe them on /tea/ but I bet it's not quite in the same way as Pynchon
>>331058 born with one talent and I'm just taking it as far as I can Pretty much all my friends are artists/creative types so I'm kinda the odd one out in those other groups I keep my distance from Tech (as in, the distinct sector as opposed to just being a programmer for any random corp) because it seems repulsive, I feel way better just being one part of the big teams that make medical devices. That's real work I can be proud to help with
>>331058 industry and many of its products. Everything is a deranged cult
Good morning. Only the big 3 left >>331060 For me it's the opposite, I'm the art guy amongst all the tech people >>331054 Nice. I also like to take pictures of nature as well, although I usually take pictures of monuments and stuff like that more
>>331055 there are still a few places that track what parts of the POSIX conference were proposed by what participant, and who actually implemented what. It's a level of graft and gladhanding only dwarfed by every military throughout time and beyond borders.
