its just shitty people outing themselves

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

Explain to me exactly what's wrong with spreadsheets?

It’s funny because if you dip your toes into a lot of blue collar work, you’ll find it still requires (or at least significantly benefits from) college education. I’ve met a few people majoring in landscaping or recreation, there’s a lot of advanced shit to learn. I know I sure as hell couldn’t figure out how to use plants to draw water uphill, but that’s what one of the places I volunteer at is doing with their planting. It’s not just men standing around grunting at each other and doing whatever until it looks decent.

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.

Then who did the surgery on my son??

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

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

"So you do vlookup like this and then drag it down to autofill."

"𒀝𒋗 𒈠 𒀭𒉈 𒁀𒀭𒌅𒈬"

Excel is legitimately incredibly impressive though. That’s like saying imagine how impressed they would be that we’ve been to space and eradicated diseases.

I’m not a computer person though, so maybe I’m just the easily impressed Sumerian farmer, proving your point.

Or how zero could be a number instead of a null value

When your pee hits the loo

next your willy is goo

that's a moray

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I'll see myself out

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.

Spreadsheets were needed for distribution of stored grain to start.

Taxes were used to make it easier to manage soldiers. It was easier to give them coin instead of managing food and stuff for an army.

If we'd stay away from agriculture, all this could've been prevented.

Nah, spreadsheets are neat. And we need to tax the rich. Let's maybe do away with AI data centers instead.
