Working as a software engineer I often feels like I am living in the world of the Handmaidens Tale as a women with a functioning womb where the hole of society is organised around controlling everything I do. Hopefully LLM will change this but I do not underestimate the intellectual laziness of most "knowledge workers"

Highly paid middle class white male (statistically) compares his existence to the brutal oppression of women in a fictional book.

What insight!

You know very little about my life and I'd like to keep it this way. One would think that I live in a pure sellers market, but this is not true because of dynamics similar to that in the show. The comparison is clearly hyperbole evident by the use of an absurt fictional situation and not meant to express an equality relationship but one of equivalence (learn category theory bitch). It is very insightful, if you ask me, to recognise one's own predicament by empathising with the struggles of a fictional character, and this is what at the end of the day literary critique is all about. That there might be something hard about my life because of organised socially accepted structural abuse is all the more made evident by the briga-dooning and gasslighting I receive for dealing with my own issues in jest. I guess I must be one of the lucky girls.

Just like how waiting for 10 minutes in Starbucks during my morning commute ... made me feel like a persecuted Jewish prisoner awaiting execution!

Your original point was ridiculous, tone deaf, offensive and completely without substance other than to wave the victim flag about _something_ I guess? Who knows.

No, you are waiting in line because you want your stupid coffee the jew to be executed does not want to be executed, so no equivalence class here baby.

Their username is target fitting.

This is what we in the comedy business call making fun of someone making fun. I call myself Krugger Dunning as an obvious play on the Dunnings Krugger effect because I try to approach every topic from a point of epistemic humility and in part that means being self-aware enough to realise I might just be a total idiot. The hard work has been done by me in reflecting on my shortcoming as a person and I try to show my weaknesses openly with all of you in the hope we can find within them our common humanity, while you just issue cheap insults.

You’re saying this un-ironically in the post-Roe world?

No, this is dead serious
