I went to business school and was in classes with people from a bunch of different business majors.

Most people are book smart and can pass a test, but are otherwise stupid.

I also regularly meet different C-suite executives for work. Again, most are only good at one or two things. Efficiency isn't one of them.

Yeah, these fucking idiots without an MBA. Einstein, Hawking, DaVinci, etc

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As if an MBA was an achievement. My wifes brother made a Harvard MBA in his free time (paid for by his employer), and considered it laughably easy. I've read the course books he gave me, and I agree. For someone coming from the natural sciences side of things, MBA is kindergarten level. It is amazing with how little actual knowledge people get into high business positions nowadays.

For people who don't know Ken Cheng is satire and making fun of LinkedIn people.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago

He is hilarious, and the comments he incites are even better.

Lemmy is not beating the spectrum rumors with satire detection skills like this.

NPCs with their programming are insipid as fuck. Imagine being around idiots like this that never self actualised in their lives.

This guy is a satire poster mocking the type of posts you see on LinkedIn all the time loudly bragging about being sociopaths and workaholics.

New MBA drop: a bootcamp to deal with the twelve types of MBA nerds!

This guy spent the whole date creticing the restaurant we were in. Not once did he mention that satern was visible, or that the JWSt is scanning the Orion cluster looking for new young planets. Brought up the moon and he mentioned mineing rights and opertinitys to Frack the moon. Only thing he was exited about space was Elon and his polluting starlink WiFi adapters that have destroyed the night sky.

Dude, you gotta fix your autocorrect, or at least set it up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

lol i specifically turn off my auto correct

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why? In my experience, it corrects more often than it fucks up, so if you stopped using it because you don't like the one mistake it makes every 100 words or so, you should probably reevaluate your decision.

And if your keyboard app is making more mistakes than it corrects, you might want to consider trying a different keyboard app.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

It's a much bigger problem when you speak multiple languages and leave them all enabled in the keyboard. When writing a simple comment like this, I fuck up the typing of one out of every 5-10 words on average and auto correct fixes them for me. In some other contexts like replying to a work message, it is auto correct who fucks up that often.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Personally I avoid using autocorrect for the same reason I avoid using a calculator for mundane calculations. I ascribe to the belief that your brain works in the same way a muscle does; that is, if you don't use it... you lose it.

In many instances, autocorrect can be a god send (someone with dyslexia no doubt finds it invaluable for example), but for the layperson, my opinion is that it's just another tool that promotes laziness, and a lack of thought around grammar/spelling etc.

I'm not suggesting my way is the correct approach, but rather offering an alternative viewpoint as to why some people disable assistance tools such as autocorrect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I get where you're coming from, but for autocorrect to work properly, you still need to know how to spell.

Autocorrect is more for fixing typos, especially useful if you're like me and don't look at the keyboard while tapping away. It doesn't work as effectively if you can't spell.

It's kind of adorably misspelled in a way you don't see too often anymore. I hope they don't edit the post

That's a good cake parody. Also super cool that the ren and stimpy animator did this video for Al

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait, this is real? I thought this was a joke at first..

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

This guy is a LinkedIn comedian.

People that actually think this way probably do have binders full of "elite-level females".
