What can you do to make up for it if you're both a manlet

You don't. Like 99% of people who have ever lived you have a boring and unexceptional life. You just get by. Work a shit job, watch some shit TV, eat some shit food and congratulate yourself every night for not having died that day.

Fuck's sake there's gotta be something.

Well I'm sorry but there isn't. I'm about to start my shift with a bunch of people who are in the same boat. We work, we pay our bills and we keep on getting by. That's literally what life is. I'm sorry if your earlier life experiences didn't expose you to this overwhelmingly common reality.

Dude, I don't mean becoming a rockstar or any shit. Don't give me that bs about 99%, all I'm asking is how to make it to the better 50%.

If 99% of people are worthless shit then how does anyone attract a mate?

Figure out what you are good at and focus your efforts on that. Maybe you can even turn that into money.

Learn to not be so stupid. I'm serious. It's in part your attitude, what you actually know, what may be considered wisdom (don't put the tomato in the fruit salad, etc.), and how you perceive yourself -> how you compose yourself that also affect you.

Go in to computer science. If that math is too hard or the concepts too abstract, go into accounting (or something). Learn a skill that is both marketable and not easily taken by some robot. No promises on Indians not taking your job because Globalization, though.

If you don't know, google it.

Good programmers, sysadmins or security experts will never get outsourced.

Then make sure to be a good one

It's not that hard. Indians are exceptionally shitty programmers.
Actually learn programming and algorithms as opposed to copypasting shit from SO and you're fine.

If they can teach the Pajeet to poo in the loo, they can teach them to program. It just may be after the day it's economical to outsource to an Indian

For any kind of mildly specialized skillset though, it's impossible to outsource the work.
So either you have to git gud at a few in demand technologies (any decent Java/C++/C# programmer can get a job), or you can just specialize in something Rajesh can't do like machine learning or netsec.
