it's not even a matter of age, but of class.

subhuman lower class dogs like nostr:npub15j8y38lrntthj3gfv5mf03sayp82yace7d0u2y0t4ts278p4nknq2jh56c are all the same whether they are 60 or 16.

it's just that one's class gets lower with age because you become further and further removed from what is peak as you get older.

some people are removed from the peak geographically, some economically, some intellectually and some by their age.

there are plenty of dogs on the fediverse that are just as dumb and disgusting and low class as nostr:npub15j8y38lrntthj3gfv5mf03sayp82yace7d0u2y0t4ts278p4nknq2jh56c who are barely old enough to drink.

but also as people get old and disgusting looking they become enamored with toilet humor because they need the world to be as ugly as they are to feel at home in it, when clearly the world is telling them their time is up and they really should just KILL THEMSELVES.

but again, this isn't just a matter of age. basically all of fediverse are ugly ass incels ( regardless of age ) and they all look down on sex because it's something they will never have so they do the sour grapes thing where if you can't have something you say you never wanted it.

then these ugly rats seek out Jesus because he helps them LARP as if they reject sex for some divine reasons and not because everybody spits at their ugly ass and THEY SHOULD JUST ALL KILL THEMSELVES.

bottom line: all old and ugly people should be killed, then we fuck all the 12 year olds in the ass !

The "peak geographically" point got me to thinking, also -- there is a good chance that had we, you or I for example, been in Silicon Valley about 20 years ago we would have been rich entrepreneurs already.

It's not just about temperament. I was reading more about the scene there in the 2000s, there was an insane culture of entrepreneurship and lots of venture capital going around. So, if you were from a STEM background, there's a good chance you would have been sucked into it just from being in proximity (both as a CSCI grad or an EE grad in your case, there were opportunities for both).

But I was in the Midwest at that time and not even thinking along those lines. Back then, everyone here just thought about being an employee of some large firm (of which there are not a few around my area). But this may have been a mistake - being close to the masters of the universe in what you are attempting is a superpower of its own. Now, I was not even in the worst place, nor were you, but even a slight edge might have been enough to make a difference and you would certainly have had that at Silicon Valley in those days.

I doubt I could have stayed there long term, even less so with how it is nowadays versus back in my college years, but it may have meant a decisive life change. This is just a thought experiment, as I would consider it folly to do anything other than work remote for an SV firm nowadays - which I might still consider - but to really "level up" it probably would have required being exposed to a higher-energy atmosphere from a younger age.

And I say this as someone who agrees with your whole thing of school being prison, sports and extracurricular activities being for bug people and so on. I'm trying to imagine a scenario where one could be successful from a young age while at the same time not falling into many of the pitfalls of successful people. Obviously it's not easy!

well i did live in Silicon Valley for a year around 2010 or so. unless you were inside one of the companies there or inside Stanford, things don't look any different in SV than anywhere else ( except everyone is Asian ).

I did notice a different ( nerdy in a goofy retarded chink way ) atmosphere doing cardio around Google Campus and a certain high-performance atmosphere ( long legged blond hoes jogging everywhere ) driving through Stanford.

i do regret not applying to Stanford or MIT ( i only applied to schools in NYC ). i think if i went to one of those two universities that are famous for producing a lot of startups maybe things would have been different because i would have grown up with a better attitude.

but in the end it comes down to personality / attitude. sure if you're already in a high performance environment ( like you're a student at Stanford ) the attitudes of that environment will rub off on you, and vice versa.

but how do you end up in such an environment ? the answer is you must want to be in it. the reason i never applied to schools outside of NYC is because i thought it would be a burden living on campus. i just took the subway to my school in NYC. this shows my personality of taking the path of least resistance and avoiding uncertainty.

by contrast OldFriendSaysHello had the opposite personality. whereas i was always avoiding risk and avoiding work he was always seeking out opportunity. where i was always judging and avoiding people he was always looking to make contacts with anybody prominent. literal opposite of me. he is the type of person that will approach strangers and introduce himself whereas i am the type of person where strangers approach me and try to strike a conversation and i find a way to avoid them.

as a result i came back form California but he grew roots in Miami. so it isn't about where you go - but the approach you bring.

now granted, if you go to some African Village no approach will make you a successful tech entrepreneur. but also you could be living in San Francisco and be next to some billionaire VC and they will make you a compliment and instead of using it to introduce yourself and make a contact you will go "fucking faggot"

LOL

in other words yes location matters, but prime location like SF is expensive and you have to bring a winning attitude with you or you're wasting your money and may as well just live in Florida for 1/2 the price.

in other words your energy has to match that of the location otherwise it's "out of your league" so to speak.

i'm not discouraging you by any means. if you want to try Silicon Valley they got great weather there - better than in Florida ! No real winter just like in Florida but even on the hottest summer day in SV i was able to do cardio outside whereas in Florida you can barely step out in the sun for more than 5 minutes in summer.

my point is merely that nobody is going to drag you to the top. the only way to the top is by clawing your way there. if you want it bad enough yes you then move to the mecca and make it there. but merely moving to the mecca won't do anything if you bring the same laid back attitude as prevails in places that are rotting.

i mean why would people in SV all be on meth if Xanax worked for their life style ?

see my point ?

I think the 2000s would have been the last time SV was a good place to live. Since then it has gotten too crowded and Asian. I could tolerate the latter but 2 hour or more commutes to the office would be out of the question (and they don't want people working remote). I do not think it's the up-and-coming place it used to be either, although they still have a considerable edge in the AI age. But anyone can build AI with enough money and the costs will decrease with time...

Basically, Florida sounds like a much better option even with all of its drawbacks. Maybe in a few more years I'll be able to head down to Orlando as well.

well San Francisco is only a small part of SV.

if you want to work in SF you have to live in SF, be a liberal and walk to your job.

but most jobs in SV are outside of SF and you could live within a few minute drive of those. i lived within a few minutes of Google and it was quite affordable ( except i had non-whites on both sides - Mexican who drove an ex-police car on one side and Nigger family with a pit bull on the other ). the pit bull would swim in my pool and occasionally the entire street would fill up with cop cars visiting my Nigger neighbors.

but it can be done. you can absolutely live in SV and not spend 2 hours commuting. of course if you were to live in San Jose and commute to SF then yes you would spend 2 hours commuting but why would you do that when you can work in San Jose or live in SF ( in a closet ).

SV stretches from SF to San Jose and everything in between. both Google and Apple are in between. Intel and Supermicro are in San Jose. Twitter is in SF. i doubt many people commute from one end of the valley to the other - that would be pretty dumb. just live next to where you work. you would have to of course adjust your expectations for things like square footage and parking if you live / work in SF itself.

if you are choosing a spot purely based on employment opportunities i would probably go with either Austin, DFW, Washington DC ( Data Center Capital of the World ), NYC ( Google has offices in NYC too ), Boston or Seattle

Orlando is more about nice weather and girls showing skin year round. Not even the beach ( there is no beach, but there are pools ). For the beach you need Miami area or St John's county. I would probably skip Tampa area for beaches because gulf isn't the ocean and they get algae blooms there and it just doesn't seem to have that ocean feeling that beaches in St. John's county do where you just get hit in the face with the ions and you're like yeah this is the ocean.
