if I was a billionaire I'd do that poo poo because who's going to stop me, a literally loving billionaire, from wearing crocs to meet some actress who gives as few shits about this event as I do?

The west coast has a more non-confrontational hugs "how dare you say that" type culture.

It's sort of local culture that doesn't approve of acidic juvenalian or tell it like it is humor.

Tech culture is also hilarious since it thrives in a fuhrer bunker like information bubble.

Tech nerds have finally managed to make me a cultural pessimist. Civil discourse can only get worse. Burn down all hugboxes.

I like how Craigslist still looks like a website from 1998 and I hope they never change.

What's weird is, if you look at a lot of the websites or blogs of the most talented software developers or projects, like high end stuff that takes skill to make instead of being a stupid app, such as compilers or kernels or whatever, you'll often find plaintext websites because they don't give a poo poo and don't need to use a bejeweled kit on their work

so yeah, those guys pretty much run the biggest, most popular websites in the world. i feel bad and you should too.

if i was worth billions of dollars i would also not care about wearing proper clothes

The funny thing is that there's probably a lot of parallels between dressing like a slob and having a website that looks like crap. Both of them signal the same thing: that you care more about function than form.

And yet people in this thread have been relentlessly making fun of SV folks for their terrible clothing.

These people dress badly because they never learned how to dress themselves and now that mommy isn't picking out clothes for them they just throw anything together. It has nothing to do with form over function, when it comes to clothes form follows function.

“You don’t belong in Silicon Valley, we tried to make that clear with the lack of important parts for you on the show,” Miller roared at a woman who revealed she didn’t watch the show.

that's just pure misogyny, along with him yelling at an asian person who asked a question. the gently caress? i like the show but this is ~problematic~

I noticed this but I'm willing to give him a bit of a pass for being stoned out of his gourd. These people need to be needled more and he did just that. Yeah it made me a little uncomfortable but I'm just watching it from my mom's basement and not living it so it's OK with me.

You can say whatever you want to them it won't change how they view themselves. The most they'll do is some hand-ringing over sexism and go back to being as oblivious as ever. John Oliver at the Crunchies, free of any sexism or racism, called them out for their egos, gentrifying an already stupidly expensive area and told them they weren't the types of people that people root for. They just laughed and went about their lives afterward.

They hired a jester and they will treat him as such. They give a poo poo about ethics unless it has an impact on the brand value (of themselves or their company). They're loaded and the industry fetes them as masters of the universe. So why bother.

to be honest, I think the vast majority of us would turn into massive assfaces if we became filthy rich.

Yeah that is probably the funniest part about SV type technologists. They truly believe they are making the world a better place. It's stunning. Of course really all theyre doing is, at best, lining the pockets of already rich capitalists.

Also shut the gently caress up you idiots tj miller isnt racist or misogynist

This kind of poo poo is doubly hilarious to me for several reasons. I know some of these people personally as they graduated from my high school and we were all in the nerd clique. I went on to become a journalist and helped make a positive impact in a community dealing with gentrification (a story I wrote about a middle school actually got administrators reassigned and increased the district's focus on anti-violence) while they get to fellate their egos by producing apps that do jack poo poo. But they are more valued in society because of great marketing and PR.
