Once seen as nerdy but harmless innovators, men in tech are now widely regarded as red-pilled Elon Musk wannabes. It’s made getting laid a whole lot harder.

              Sadly then you’re relegated to the “simple nerd” designator…please go stand in the corner, you’re blocking the line.

      What you described is the polar opposite of the work done for Palantir.

      You’re fine and noble. Just keep being you.

    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.

    I will lie to get laid. WHY DONT WOMEN LIKE ME?!

    Recently, Gary’s buddies requested he not mention Palantir on their nights out together so as to not tank the whole group’s chances of getting laid.

    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.
