I just browsed through it and there's a ton of Amazon workers bragging about how hot they are and how much money they make, how girls in Seattle won't suffice because the "attractive ones aren't well educated", masturbation, "dealing with dumb people".

Seems like a tech bro nightmare.

This precisely summarizes my reaction to Blind each time I’ve decided to log in over the year or so I’ve had an account.

Lots of 'Crying at my desk' posts by Amazonians

Why are they crying? Could you link to a post? They still publish threads on their webpage, right?

The key is to just laugh it off and consider it trolling, jokes, whatever. Most of it is but there's useful info there also and people who feel oppressed by the SJW movement at work let off the steam in a safe space (how ironic).

Lol opinions like those deserve to be oppressed. What a cesspool.

God forbid people address an issue directly. I accidentally upset a coworker by a comment I made, we had lunch and it was addressed. I realized why it bothered the person, we hugged and moved on and have a good working relationship.

Blind just sounds plain stupid and a terrible idea for work place culture.

Oh jeez I hope you didn’t create a new issue

It's hard to describe the context of the situation but it was more of a funny moment. We hashed something out as adults.

Are we reading the same Blind

Most of them are Indians mad that they can’t get laid (typical for Seattle and Amazon-tier Indians).

I wonder if the Indians at Google Fremont have that problem..

Quoted from Blind:

>As a male engineer I look down on you f%%ks that wear the same s%%t everyday, you are the s%%theads that premature optimize a code and add tons of complexity to save unneeded CPU cycles. Bet you wear the same boxers for days without washing in the name of efficiency.

It's pretty much 4chan for tech bros, but it does seem to be quite diverse tech bros, yes.

Are you suggesting it's status? Google engineers do better in the dating market?

They also seem more attractive and less self loathing. I’d wager they do.

Why the obsession with the big tech companies?

Because they are clearly superior humans than me.

Why do you need to be the best?
