I feel you, I had a few managers like you describe. I am all for establishing your boundaries and telling people what you don’t care for if it doesn’t affect your tasks and so on, and I also agree with what other people told you here.
For example, I had a colleague that just talked about their sex life all the time. I deflected every time to another subject, I didn’t laugh at crassy innuendos and boys’ club language, I didn’t engage in stories of my own, but I became very fluent in being smiley, engaged, and willing to talk about work-related topics. People don’t feel offended and they pick up quickly that there are topics I won’t encourage. And I think I am better off now, with colleagues I really do care about. And if people insist on small talk, I sometimes tell yhem honestly, sympathetically, that I am stressed about things being done and that we will catch up later.
There is a way to connect with colleagues that doesn’t feel fake, but it takes practice and good faith. I don’t think it is beneficial in the long run to see others as of lesser value or as a waste of time. It can worsen social relationships. You seem to be motivated to know more about the inner workings of your job and it’s great, and I think the skill of “managing” middle managers and bosses could be included in the skillset.

You read it right, look up “Body Worlds” by artist Gunther von Hagens.
Yeah people seeing the image might not know these are real cadavers.


I click a button when taking my pill so I don’t take it twice by mistake, it also alerts me if I’ve forgotten my dose. Not really ridiculous, but I wanted to feel included lol


Acquiescing while reading this, having never contributed to a project of any size and thinking I’m hot shit for having climbed to 4 kyu in Python on Codewars.


I love the implication that they found a cure for their own invention


Except for all the American Armed Forces stuff


Do you have any need to backup things on a mobile phone? What do you use if so? I’m trying to make everything simpler and I already use rsync on my desktop.


Can you elaborate on the why you don’t offer unsolicited advice? Does this include not giving advice to children or people in the way of harm?


Yeah I share the sentiment, but I remember finding the songs for mixtapes on… the radio, where I didn’t really have a say on what’s playing. Algorithms can be a force for good sometimes.


I don’t think so. You said “everything about morality is relative”, what do you subscribe to?


I’m talking about normative ethics, not descriptive.


I do not adhere to moral relativity at all. It is, I think, an untenable position that makes pedophiles and genocides as valid as charity work and kids’ hospitals.
Also, how can you believe absolutely that there are no moral absolutes? It was pointed as illogical more than a couple millennia ago.


I didn’t say that, and yeah, almost all forms of military is just a waste, sorry.


This is just moral luck. My opinion is that your work was very unethical from the get-go and you just happened to be happy with the outcome. It’s like saying you are ashamed of speeding in your car, until some day, when you crashed into Elon Musk.
Absolutely. Some of the HPV types are sexually transmitted (there are more than 100 types of HPV), they are the ones that cause cervical (and other) cancers and males can have symptoms, but usually not. In any case, yes, males can transmit HPV.
