Cardiologists probably hate fried food and energy drinks

The amount of people absolutely POUNDING several event drinks a day is astounding.

I have a heart condition and couldn't drink them if I wanted to, without dying, so they don't believe when I say it's bad for them.

Yeah, WTF is up with this? The people that will drink 3 or 4 cans of Monster a day? JFC, that shit'll kill you, man!

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 minutes ago

I worked with someone who would bring 4 cans of monster to work every day, but he told me he was essentially addicted. He said he'd get pounding headaches if he didnt drink them now. Its probably not all that different from a cocaine habit.

Most, if not all, professions in the domain of knowledge creation hate AI.

Engineers hate managers.

Remember next time you get a shitty product, don't blame the engineer who designed it. Blame the manager who forced him to do it that way.

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago (1 children)

I blame designers for everything. Keeps the fads and fashion for the well-to-do. The average person needs function first. Why would anything I want to buy for regular use be available seasonally or only come in over the top fancy plastic shapes with weird colors and breaks with less than 100 hours of use. I have a kitchen and office because I use them, not because it accents my overpriced home. I have worked in merchandising from many angles and it sickens me. Even what should be simple packaging on almost all retail products is overdesigned and printed full of lies. And the worst part is the cost of the product is directly related to design. Look at how cheap some knock-offs can be produced. I would never presume the engineer to be the source of the overpriced malfunctions of consumerism.

I think the average consumer simply believes its not legal to lie on packaging like that. They might not have even asked the question of whether its true or not.

MEP Electrical Engineer here!

Architects. Boy do I sure hate me some architects.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Technicians hate engineers. An engineer will drag themselves across a field of naked virgins, ignoring them all, in order to fuck one mechanic.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

There is no worse designer than a German engineer.

Data scientists hate time zones.

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 2 points 49 minutes ago* (last edited 48 minutes ago) (1 children)

Every dev hates time zones but I wouldn't say it's the number 1 enemy

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 minutes ago

We should invent standard computing time (SCT) or something and use that.

Tech support hates boomers and zoomers

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 2 points 48 minutes ago

Pretty much everyone then

[–] TRock@feddit.dk 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I enjoyed clueless people when doing tech support, it made me feel needed 😂

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 2 points 50 minutes ago (1 children)

Clueless people who want help yes. Clueless people who are confidently wrong and refuse to listen to reason or accept personal responsibility for the fact they broke their stuff, no.

Geologists hate engineers.

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 1 points 9 minutes ago

I don't know if things have changed, but engineers have not historically taken the expert advice of geologists, and it has cost lives.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 minutes ago

Sewer maintenance techs also hate engineers.

Actually everyone hates engineers.

As a psych nurse I hate food and housing instability and the death of thirdspaces. Oh and also the prison industrial complex.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 minutes ago

I was in a waiting room at a hospital recently, and there was a homeless person trying to get out of the heat there as well. He was talking about how he hasnt eaten in days and he doesnt know what hes going to do. Not five feet from him is multiple vending machines filled with food and drinks, just a thin piece of glass barricading them in.

Seeing both of those things next to each other at the same time made me so angry. I dont really know what I'm angry at or who needs to fix it, but I know there's a problem there that should be fixed.
