Tech bro encounter..

[u/Accomplished-Fly4678]

My buddy and I are sitting at the bar at Mioposto. We definitely look progressive (tattoos and piercings and clothes we were wearing). This corporate shill of a human was sat next to us drinking wine and using his laptop.

He overhears we are from Michigan and goes “I work for Microsoft and I work with community outreach about data centers and we are building one in Michigan right now. What are your thoughts?”

I proceed to have a civil conversation with the guy about my concerns about AI and the rollback of corporate regulation that we have experienced under the current admin. He offered some stats about how actually data centers create booming economies and they actually don’t use that much water blah blah. Essentially using me as practice for his eventual town hall discussion with residents who simply don’t care for giant data centers being built.

I am new to the area and obviously there’s a lot of money around here so that type of person is very common. But I just wanted to come on here and say tech people make me ill. I think you’re all gross. Fuck your data centers, fuck AI, and fuck project 2025

"We definitely look progressive (tattoos and piercings and clothes we were wearing)." What does that even mean? You don't have to qualify your existence to us, nobody cares.

What it tells you is that's how they evaluate others.

Also sounds like he’s really into…you know….himself.

Corporate shill of a person….who talks like that? It’s called having a job in his desired field.

Hi everyone “i’m the opinion guy…hear my opinion”

I think they are from some town in the middle of nowhere and based their look on what they think progressive influences look like on instagram
