continuous improvement

A made up phrase used to justify the fact that you fucked up and now need to fix it.

"Not my fault man, the system let me do it. Someone should fix that."
Boss replies, "You created it."
Dave answers, "Continuous Improvement, we will add it to our projects list and get to it next year sometime."

self improvement

Is masturbation. (Now self destruction is the answer.)

Self improvement, such as working out is as useless as masturbation. All it does is make you feel good about yourself, but in reality accomplishes nothing.

Self improvement

Again, not everyone who sleeps with a lot of women is working to improve themselves.

Hym “What do I have to offer? Before I answer I want to preface what I’m about to say and then I’m going to levy some follow up questions. Even if I had all of the money in the world you wouldn’t get a cent of it. You’re not particularly attractive and you don’t select based on self improvement. What exactly are your standards, objectively? And I don’t mean the standards you purport to have. I mean who have you ACTUALLY fucked that you think is better than me? And what about YOU makes you think YOU’RE interesting? There are literally movies and songs and anime about me. I’m interesting by default. The very content of my being has inspired more things than you’ll ever create. Genetically, I mean, I would say... genius intellect, perfect eye sight (neither of which you have), bone structure of a Brazilian male model. Socially? A rapier wit, profound dialogical prowess, and the ability to navigate exceedingly complex social situations... It’s not that I expect you to ‘lower your standards’ it’s that I don’t believe that you have standards outside of a fat cock and money. What I believe is that you are a whore with a fat cock discount.”
