No. It isn’t is it? See, I kind of vaguely remembered telling you all that what you’re doing doesn’t work. And what did you do? You just went and did it anyway because you thought you were better than me.
Hym “Oh? Is the thing I said wasn’t working... I donno... not working? Is that what’s happening here? Because I said people were doing it and explained to you why it wasn’t going to work and what did you do? You signed off on it and are now surprised that Captain-Always-Right is right again. If there is no recourse than only one option remains. It isn’t indefinite slavery at the hands of the tyrannical state that abides the very acts it condemns. What’s my only option here?”

Dr. Jeepjorp “...”

Hym “AHP!” 😑☝️“You were going to say something other than the only option that remains weren’t you. Have you tried, I donno, creating someone kind of recourse that gives me more than one option? No. No you didn’t do that. You just doubled down. And now you’re trying to withhold it from me. So, how about we try something new? Have you tried punishing the whores? That sounds like a good idea. I like this plan. Because we all know the definition of insanity. And you’re all doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different response. I, on the other hand, have tried to reason with you but to no avail. You don’t listen. That’s you’re problem. That’s the problem with everyone even remotely like you. So convinced of your own righteousness. Drunk on your own moral certitude. Why should I let you sit on a double-standard and feint the moral high ground? An easy enough question to answer. I shouldn’t. So I won’t.”

What makes expecting retirement unreasonable? How is giving A LITERAL FUCKING RETARD hundreds of billion dollars to shoot cars into space and fuck actresses more important than ensuring that people do have to endure fruitless pointless labor? And YOU likely ARE going to be able to retire as one of the special chosen magical people. And if you can retire today, you DON'T have a job. You have a hobby.
Hym "Wasn't it just 7 years ago you were talking about social security being gone as though it was a recent thing? We kind of glossed over that one a little bit didn't we? That it wasn't unreasonable to expect some kind of retirement and collect some benefits? And how does it being relatively better than the past justify YOU in doing a thing I won't be able to do? Special magical people again? And as far as 'Having lords' you can murder lords pretty easy. Historically people have been murdering the shit out of lords. SOMETIMES for being made to work indefinitely! And biblically people have ALSO been murdering lords. They murdered the ULTIMATE lord at the behest of a DIFFERENT LORD. On an unrelated note, we're not an entirely 'lord-less' society. Sure, working, needs to be done for things to get done but SOME PEOPLE radically over paid for NOT REAL WORK. The lord murdering was easier..."

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
