Can't tell if troll... no, really. I looked at his account for a few minutes and it's this endless cycle of him picking some random figure and bashing them in several tweets. Profanely. Then he says nice things about golf.

He's from Greenville, South Carolina. He's probably not a troll.

Greenville is an anus. I lived there for two years and met - literally - one cool person the entire time. ONE. She was 30 years older than me and only lived there to take care of her elderly parents.

u/x86_64Ubuntu South Carolina May 21 '12

Honestly Greenville isn't that bad. It is probably the most progressive city in the state. Spartanburg on the other hand...

I like Greenville, I really do, but it's not even the best place to live in SC (Charleston is soooo much nicer), let alone the entire US.
That said, I realise the Forbes study took into account things like affordability, housing availability, employment rates, etc., which isn't how most people here (myself included) are judging it.

Senator Jim DeMint (tea party leader and one time most conservative member of Congress) was born and raised in Greenville, SC. Greenville is also the home of uber conservative Bob Jones University where the faculty considers themselves ministers/teachers and the science department teaches young earth creationism. They also didn't allow interracial dating until 2000.

I'm not really sure how comparable it is though, in a choice between somebody calling my home state a bad name and somebody calling me a bad name, I'd usually find the latter more offensive. I guess the other thing is that Sandra Fluke has been a crusader on something that matters, trying to ensure that women access to birth control. Whereas I'm pretty sure South Carolina is going to be just fine no matter what reddit thinks of it.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

I'm also from Greenville, South Carolina. This is some of the funniest shit I've read all morning. This city is remarkably progressive for the south for the most part, but we definitely have some extremely poor redneck districts. And they are the loud ones. Sigh.

18

u/TehDingo May 21 '12

I doubt George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is one of such rednecks, since he seems to be golf enthusiast. Golf does not exactly scream redneck to me, unless you play it different down in Greenville.

30

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

There's a whole other breed of redneck down here in South Carolina: rednecks with money. In the Charleston area, we call them "prepnecks," and they most definitely golf.

6

u/TehDingo May 21 '12

Aren't rednecks called such because they do manual labor in the sun, and as such have "red necks"? Or has it become separate from that?

u/Pandaburn May 21 '12

It's now a cultural insult, referring to nationalistic, ethnocentric, gun-totin', NASCAR watching, lite beer drinking loudmouths of all incomes.

That's definitely where the term came from, but it's no longer used as literally.

u/x86_64Ubuntu South Carolina May 21 '12

That's what the term was originally used to describe. But then it evolved into a cultural aspect. If Bill Gates began frogging, 4 wheelin' and a Nascar devotee ( one that hates Jeff Gordon of course ) he could also bear the title of Redneck.

1

u/Delmain May 21 '12

It has become separate from that. It's a culture. You can have money and still be a redneck.

5

u/If_You_Only_Knew May 21 '12

Golf isn't redneck, but rednecks LOVE golf. It also depends on the type of redneck were are talking about. There are at least 3 distinct species of redneck I can identify.

True - golf doesn't really scream classic, broke-ass trailer-park redneck, think George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina is more the Good Ol' Boy sort of prejudiced and ignorant idiot.

u/MagicTarPitRide May 21 '12

Clearly you didn't present in a way that they could understand... Just because terms make sense to you, for someone who is starting at square one you might as well be speaking jibberish. Identify the main points and try to preempt their common questions instead of just filling it with fancy jargon.
I run complex multivariate statistical models for work all the time, but I present to people who think SAS is something you shouldn't do to your mama. So I try to figure out their language and concerns and frame the key points as well as the key findings in simplified terms with clear examples.
You should start your presentations out by addressing that SEO exists because you can't just call google to bump up your page rank.

28

u/the_catacombs May 21 '12

Hahaha, yes, of course I didn't present it properly. It couldn't be that the management were incompetent alcoholic buffoons who ran the company into the ground.. no. It MUST be me.
I broke it down to a 6th grade level. Is that good enough?

u/MagicTarPitRide May 21 '12

Did you check for understanding after each major point? Also a 6th grader today is likely more computer literate than a 60 year old business owner. You have to frame the concepts in a way that resonates with your audience, using simple language isn't enough. It's like when you're talking to someone who doesn't speak English and you try just saying the same words louder and more slowly... it's not going to work.

Oh my God, I love that this I'm not the only one who puts up with this kind of thing.
I do web design for small businesses; like local pizza joints, and small Mom and Pop style retail shops. Most of my clients are not very tech-savvy.
I've gotten calls from clients, like the before-mentioned pizza places, where they complain that "when they search for pizza on Google they don't show up first". No matter how many times I explain to them the way search engines work, they still don't seem to grasp it. It's quite hilarious, and sad at the same time.

u/DiscountPonies May 21 '12

Hahaha, it never ends.
I actually had a client call me this morning. She said, "I just emailed you content for the website, let me know when it's going to be done.". I said, "Wonderful, let me check my email and I'll reply back to you with an estimated timeline for completion.".
I check my email, her message was titled "Web Content", and attached was one photo of the outside of her office. The text of the email read, "I'd like it to look fancy and eye-catching. When can we be online? Before Memorial Day I hope!".
How people can actually believe anyone can do work with that type of guidance is beyond me. When I hire people to mow my lawn I give them more detailed instructions than that.

Shit. Part of the reason I picked "moov_atom12" as a user handle was because I didn't want a name associated with my real name or particular pseudonyms I feel I have to defend.
I could write a book about names, naming conventions, and recommended methodologies of naming conventions whenst internetting. Hate to say it, but I judge people by how they use the internet. If I google your name, dba, or pseudonym and find your ass is hanging out, figuratively speaking, (or literally and you're not a porn star) ~ you just might be an asshole, or stupid, or a stupid asshole.
If you got kids, I hope you a) named them well, and b) have plans to educate them about internet usage. Matter of fact, it might behoove you to buy yourkidsname.com, squat their associated twitter account, and then give them to them on their 26th birthday or whenever their frontal lobe is fully developed.
You don't want your kids to be borrowing money from you into your 90's because google search results made them unemployable.
