I don’t know about either victory or rock star, but I finished something.
The something was the final assignment in the UX course I’m taking, worth 50% of the final grade. It’s been a slog for the entire month it’s been assigned because I am still sick – this is the start of Week 5 or 6, I forget which. There were a lot of nights where I really, desperately wanted to work on it – and fell asleep straight after dinner.
So it’s not nearly as good as I wanted it to be, but it is done, and it is submitted, and that means I will get more than zero on it. That’s a start.
(For the record, I got 95% on the mid-term assignment, worth 30% of the final grade and completed just when I was starting to get sick, but planned out when I was still well. Which only added to the stress of the final.)
The wheels of justice move slowly, but move they do. Finally free of Chad. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Celebration time, y’all - cracking open the victory rum now.
Good job to everyone who called and wrote their Senators about today’s Net Neutrality vote. Long way to go, but we got an unexpected Republican on our side, and that’s good.
Thanks, but that’s exactly WHY I don’t understand the name. This guy was obviously a jerk and a terrible employee, but sex in any form doesn’t seem to come into the story anywhere. All I can think is that the pseudonym was assigned before the incel stuff was being talked about, so the name “Chad” didn’t have the same connotations yet.
It’s just jarring in a weird way, because of all the recent discussions about calling men “Chad” and women “Stacy” to indicate that they’re having sex, but not doing anything wrong or mean to anyone.
This guy, on the other hand, is a total asshole and it is really a great day for @tinoesroho to be able to see the last of him at work!
Aside from not wanting to doxx the guy, choosing Chad as a pseudonym makes sense, because stereotypical White “alpha males” with their sense of entitlement often have stereotypical White ‘jock’ names: Chad, Brad, Biff etc.
That so-called incels have chosen the name ‘Chad’ to describe rich White ‘alpha males’ who are getting all the hetero sex with “hot chicks” (Stacies) which incels feel they themselves are ‘entitled to’ just speaks to their jealousy - they all want to be “Chad.”
