If you're rich, you look like a genius by default because you're surrounded by incredibly smart engineers, accountants, lawyers, and marketers. It helps if you have enough brains and charm to know when you're upsetting or charming people - which makes sense for someone trying to advocate their position in front of venture capitalists or boards of directors. A little philanthropy makes you look like a saint. This is Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc - this is the old myth that the rich are smart and charming in ways that deserve the money.

For a rich person to come across as less capable than their underlings, or completely charmless, therefore requires believing in their own mythology to just do whatever the hell they want while creating legitimate hatred.

Being clinically a narcissist helps with that but I'd also suggest that how you can be ultra-super-mega-incredibly rich these days helps with that because now even merely rich people you need to talk to will play to you same as any other underling (like an accountant, lawyer or engineer who needs the job) and there's nothing stopping you from believing your own mythology.

The world has changed. Much that once was, isn't. And much that is, wasn't.

It all began with the frying of vegetables of power. Crispy zucchini sticks for the Elves. Curly and waffle cut potatoes for the Dwarves, great lovers of starch. And beer battered mushrooms for Men, who above all else desire to dump ketchup on everything. But they were all of them deceived. In the land of Mordor, in the fryers of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret an Onion Ring.

Realistically this is probably about a lack of color work plus how deeply I’ve been trained to think 1) I’m a shitty inept failure or 2) maybe I’m not actually a shitty inept failure but if other people are the special wanted people and I never am, then it’s academic (or is it?). Fuck, bad case of childhood.

Idk maybe I should just give up posting drawings to Bluesky where nobody appears interested, and keep that as a shitpost account only. This shouldn’t feel like some huge recrimination of how I’m a failure and a shit artist, but it DOES.

damn when Joe Madureira pencils on Spider Man don’t make you less upset that IS a bad mood

DESERT!
Yes we’re in the DESERT!
Yes we’re in the DESERT DESERT DESERT!

Crab Louie, this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship. *wolfs down salad*

Woe. Is. Me? Liverpool can be a lonely place on a Saturday night, and it’s only Thursday morning. Compared to my life, Eleanor Rigby was a gay mad whirl. Noothing ever happens to me. #Moviequote

okay I did job hunt stuff today OTHER than an in person and a Teams interview so fuck it I'm calling it for the day and taking a nap

although you try to discredit
you'll still never edit
the needle I'll thread it
radically poetic
standing with the fury they had in 66
and like E double I'm Mad still knee deep in the system's shit
Hoover!
he was a body remover!
I'll give you a dose but it can never come close to the rage built up inside of me
fist in the air in the land of hyprocisy
movements come and movements go
leaders speak movements cease when their heads are flown
cause all these punks got bullets in their heads
department of police (what) the judges (what) the feds

"Empire had a better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean that's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a buncha muppets!" #MovieQuotes

you'll wind up in some factory that's full-time filth, and nowhere else to go
walk into an empty house, sit around all by yourself
though it might sound strange, I believe you'll be comin' back before too long
don't go back to Rockville
don't go back to Rockville
don't go back to Rockville
and waste another year
at night I drink myself to sleep and pretend I don't care that you're not here with me.

"the greatest scam ever written - how a Montreal copywriter swindled victims out of $200 million by pretending to be a legendary psychic"

that's nothing, federal minimum wage adjusted for inflation is somewhere $8-12/h instead of the $7.25/h it is now. Assuming $10-$7 as a rough guestimate, $200 mil is 66666667 hours underpaid. There are about 1.6 million minimum wage workers in the USA - so that's about 42 hours per min wage worker, around a week or so of work. And that's just this year. And that's only some of the fiscal harm done by or in the wake of Reaganomics.

It's disheartening just how many job things I get which are some sort of senior citizen center (I am not up for that) and Amazon's always hiring warehouse people.

also if your office assistant job requires being able to reach heavy objects down from shelves while providing up front customer service that... isn't an office job.

Idk, it's really easy to spiral from here into self hate about how I was too fucking stupid to become a programmer

so if you get it on with the Hamburger Helper mascot is that technically oral or a hand job

"duuuude, you told me to like, stay off the freeway. You told me it was like, way too gnarly."
"Then let us hope..." *chk* "that was completely bogus, duuuude."
