Since joining the tech company in 2025, Gary has noticed that naming his employer prompts brutal reactions from prospective paramours. One woman, he says, called him the devil; another asked how he lives with himself. “Sometimes people would just straight up stop talking to me,” he says.

Take a fucking hint Gary...

Gary has resorted to saying he works in AI. “Even that gets some pretty bad responses sometimes,” he says. His Hinge profile doesn’t mention his employer. And sometimes he makes up stories out of thin air to justify working for Palantir—like that line about the medical debt. His parents don’t have any, nor are they ill.

Jesus fucking christ, Gary...at this point you're just a bad person. Reevaluate your life decisions.

It took Garry several painful years to learn that the stove is hot. This is not a man for which cause and effect are natural consequences.

Remember when people actually had values? Way too many people are willing to work at these places.

"People didn't like when I told them I work for Snitch Inc., so I started telling them I work for Global Warming Accelerator Corp instead. That still didn't work, so I just lied about my parents dying. Why won't they like meeeeeee?!"

The total lack of introspection and self-reflection is staggering

Isn't that one of Marc Andreeson's key traits according to himself?

[-] sintrenton@scribe.disroot.org 2 points 10 hours ago

Yup, in fact, he's extremely proud of it.

It's clearly not Gary. It's those dastardly women and their basic human rights.

[-] criss_cross@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

No. It’s everyone else that’s wrong.

No, with just this information I think the point when we can say he crossed the line into "bad person" was when he applied for a job with Palantir.
