It's all spreadsheets all the way down, isn't it?

Oh damn, I thought this was going to be about sub-standard copper ignots.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

I believe the bad copper notes only survived because he kept them to shove them in their faces when they came back to buy more.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 128 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Funny how some people still cling to feminine = bad.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 76 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

its just shitty people outing themselves

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Call me sexist, but being a person is such a girly thing to do. It's also such a boy... ly? Boily? ... Boys do it, too.

[–] khanh@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

the word is boyish and its counterpart is girlish.

[–] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

And the gogginspart is ghoulish

[–] Tja@programming.dev 7 points 6 hours ago

Ah yes, boyish girlish, I love her music!

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Hmmm.. I guess that's one of those "patriarchy" types of language most people don't think about?

We really only use Manly, because we're big strong MEN, and girly, because that's for those weak little girls?

Womanly I guess technically exists but uh, not really used in the same way.

[–] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 hours ago

Back when I was a young fool I got hit by an old, slightly xenophobe lady after some unfriendly words were exchanged on the streets. Her handbag probably contained a womanly brick.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 33 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Those manosphere guys only think about strong sweaty broze colored men plowing the fields.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm working hard with sweaty men to own the libs

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Doing the lords work 🫡

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 17 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Glistening with sweat, displaying their power with every movement - the biceps, the pectorals, the glutes. Appearing through the dust they worked up while performing their task, unphased by the swirl of nature around them, unbound by the chaotic entropy of the multidimensional Coriolis vortex that they themselves stand at the point of, defiant, inevitable. Adorned with bronze, forged from the same Earth they demand fealty of.

What's not to love?

Little rills of sweat making temporary clean streaks in the dust, tracing down across the belt of Adonis, pointing to what is hidden but implied... Sorry, where was I? Plowing. Right, plowing, like manly, definitely straight guys.

Plowing.

It's just rectangles. Human urge calls for spreadsheets.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 15 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Some children yearn for the mines, and the others for the spreadsheets.

[–] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 7 points 15 hours ago

They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Got 'em all printed out on my bedsheets

I'm having a hard time understanding this. Is feminity considered a bad thing? Is the use of spreadsheets being looked down on here? Is the trade of grain in ancient Samaria look being looked down on?

What exactly was the point of this post?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

They find strong sweaty guys sexy and are confused by it (because they are obviously not gay), so they refuse it and project it as feminime man = gay = bad, and by extension, man doing feminime thing = weak = bad. People who never really learned to reason and question.

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 17 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

My reading is that it's an intentionally absurd example to lampoon guys who unironically do the "feminine=bad" schtick.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 16 hours ago

No, the sexism really doesn’t come across as ironic.

[–] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 70 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Just chilling near a river, and before you know it some shithead invents spreadsheets again

It is funny seeing an increase in young men trying to retcon their choice to not pursue higher education by claiming "real men do blue collar work".

My field used to be like 95% men when I started around 20 years ago. I work in medicine, but our specialty uses a lot of heavy machinery and tools to fabricate custom braces and prosthetics. I work at a university hospital and we haven't had a male resident in like 5 years.

Was sitting in a capstone senior class at my liberal arts university. Happened to be taking it with a bunch of business majors. Some dipshit derails the entire class by saying "why do we need to learn any of this stuff, like history? I just want to make money."

"Haven't you ever heard the phrase about history repeating itself?"

"Well, if it's going to repeat itself, then I'll just learn about it when it happens again."

There was a literal business school like five miles down the road. And this guy chose to enroll in a liberal arts university and stay for four years. I get that the industrialization of higher education gave us that bullshit "go to college in order to get a higher paying job" and so this dude clearly just bought into that. But... again, no one was forcing him to go to a liberal arts school.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

In engineering school we made fun of how the people only in it for the money all wind up changing to a business major in year 2 or 3. The money is a big thing for certain, but you have to actually be passionate about it in order to get through the education. It's baffling someone could care that little in a major famous for not being great financially

[–] teslekova@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Also... Business has a history. Money has a history. If you want to make money and keep it, learning what happens before a crash or what sort of business practices tend to get you dragged out and hanged from a tree might be kinda helpful.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 hours ago

"I'll learn about it when it happens again" heading into the AI bubble is absolutely wild. People have jumped from buildings over the shit that is about to go down.
