Wow, the hubris is real. Ever heard of impostor’s syndrome? Because you obviously don’t suffer from it

Last occurrence today. In total surprise to nobody but the manager who is in charge of planning, the project is late by several months. After our umptienth task force, which produced nothing but 3 sets of minutes of meetings and 2 KPI reports a day, manager asked us to stay until 10:00 PM and come at 6:00 AM. Besides the fact this is illegal here (11 hours breaks are mandatory between 2 days of work), we get nothing. Answer: no. Absolute shock of the manager, who is now planning our next task force. Maybe more reporting will fix it.
Italian coproduction if I remember correctly, it’s a weird B-movie and I wonder how they managed to keep using the intellectual property for it.
Speak for yourself
You’re really getting out of your way to miss my point. The number of professional writers is some orders of magnitude bigger than the number of billionaires, so much so that taking some arbitrary subset of writers of approximately the same size is easily done.
Another counter example (because I’m really nice like that): some contemporary French writers, just from memory:
Yes I know, it’s not 43, but I could easily go to my local bookshop and find 180 more, and again 43 billionaires is a lot for 70 million inhabitants. In any case the number of 500 writers in the article is laughable.
But that’s not the main point. What gets on my nerves is that the author of the article is cherry picking facts to entertain an idea. I could deliberately try something like “but you know there are more astronauts than true painters” and refute everything opposed to this with No true Scotsman fallacies.
The article proves absolutely nothing and the author makes a mess of logical thinking, while managing to blur what the wider perspective is supposed to be.
Just one then, there are 43 billionaires in France (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_billionaires_by_net_worth).
And there are around 40 people in the French Academy alone. That’s only a small part of French writers.
And 43 billionaires is a rather big number. Compared to Pakistan or Colombia where the comparison would be even more skewed.
Frankly the whole article is just bizarrely defining metrics to fit the narrative.
Given the respective numbers of professional book writers and billionaires, I doubt it very much.
Wait a minute, a calzone is a pizzussy, not a sandwich surely? Scientists worldwide would be baffled by this revelation
That’s not a sub, that’s an underground metropolitan transportation system. A sub is a little train that goes in tunnels under the city.
Wise words from a wise person
The good thing about not using the /s, is that I can always tell myself that I’m downvoted because other people are morons, rather than thinking that I am a moron myself (which I am anyway).
(But for the record, I despise immensely people who think that some subsets of mankind are naturally less clever than others. And I understand that the meme was memed in good faith and its sexism doesn’t necessarily reflect the opinion of OP)
You see, a woman would have never thought of that simple solution, because her diminutive brain functions are only used for household tasks and cannot adapt to complex problem solving. This is why they shouldn’t drive or vote.
Well, you have to admit they are by far the best feature of bing
Hello. Why are you French? Thank you!
Sorry it was meant to be “Antikings are lobsters”
Thanks for the explanation! #notmyking #antikingsarelosers
You know that Hitler was not only a famous painter, surely? I know it’s not a competition, but I’ve heard the guy has done some fairly bad things
