haha, gave me a nice laugh, OP.

I feel you OP. I was just getting my application to the philosophy factory near my house together when it started going. The day of my interview they told me they didn't need anymore Marxist Lacanian Nietzschean aestheticians focusing on the subjectivist dualism of bra commercials and said they'd refer me to a new department, but when I went to check it out the room was full of redditors skimming books full of Ps and Qs and tweeting thought experiments about benevolent robots.

IKTF I'm not even working in the industry anymore.

Had to get a job at the local sophistry store. I'm not doing what I love, but at least the pay is decent.

>it's Detroit all over again
>suddenly a producer switches it's product line from hedonism to some sort of clone of that that old absurdism thing
>NEW JOB OPENINGS

Long story short: I applied but didn't get the job due to lack of experience in the field.

If this continues I'll open my own workshop. Or some underground math lab to synthesize some divine geometry. I heard STEMfems dig that shit due to "muh high brow aesthetics".

You know... I think the industry suffers from that women quota the govt imposed.

>If this continues I'll open my own workshop.

The boutique philosophy industry is booming. The only problem is people trust the big brands, it might be hard getting people to buy your product when 'Camus brand Absurdism™' is right down the aisle.

The Math cook route is booming thanks to the STEM addict epidemic (I am one fyi) just be careful, the empiricist world is dangerous.

Good post.

I used to work for an Existentialist dealer, but they got bought by Nihilist Express. It was a weird transition because they couldn't agree on the direction of the company even though they were saying the same thing.

Yeah, you have to be careful with those mergers and acquisitions and consolidating the businesses lest you piss off the employees that like the 'good ol days' and lose talent to their (IMO more superior) competitor, Pragmatism LLP

When I realized it was only a matter of time before my factory closed down, I got into freelance contracting.

It's a pretty nice gig, companies pay me to fly across the country to wu wei a week here, a week there. I've even collected a bunch of hotel tao-els.

It's really too bad they figured out how to automate the profession of constituting ideological worldviews.

Hard times, friends.

Short for the finnish word terveisin, which means regards.
In real life you use it to end letters, messages and emails as in:

Hello
You are invited to X, which is held during Y
T. Petteri Nils-Aslak

You can also use yt. which means ystävällisin terveisin, "with kind regards"

In the spurdo world you use it to make clear who you are or to mock someone

Examples for the 1st kind:

Thats not true, actually X happened like this!
t. knower

>>8250255
lol

t. CPA candidate

He's right you know
t. other

Examples for the 2nd kind:

>All languages descent from the turkish sun language
t. Mustafa Kemal

>observations of the utility of mathematics proves the axioms that it is based upon are correct
t. virtually every single STEMsperg out there

>scaring women is fun
t. Moldovan town rapist

Too bad to hear, I work in the finnish logician industry which has received support from the state since they want to keep heavy industry alive. Even though we don't produce practically anything nowadays, I myself spend my time staring at the pictures of von Wright and Wittgenstein sitting together and reading Hintikka's work while I masturbate and dream of a world that doesn't so often remind me of its illogicalness

You have misunderstood: I filed your post under the 1st kind of t., which I defined as "making clear who you are", which in this case means that the main reason I picked your post was indeed the "t. CPA candidate" part and not the "lol" part of the post

ps. what is a CPA candidate?

>>8251383
why are there so many fuckers who don't know how to 4chan of late? please don't answer this question it is rhetorical and directed at people who know, not you. the uptake in people who don't know how to quote/lurk/meme is abnormally high though

Stirnerites bombed a vegan convention near me. They weren't doing much harm, only protesting the local milk farm, but the faggots went and killed them.

The superintendent said he's working on it, but I heard he was a closet Stirnerite himself.

>>8251402
a lot of stirnerites became veggie/vegans because the main free love commune at the time was a vegetarian one hesse thought they were fascistic when he went so you're not entirely wrong
