If you're going to write a power fantasy for the internet at least make it cool. Add some lasers or epic street fights. Add in some part where you outsmart the librul professor who hates god. "I found a job in a shitty industry and only prostitutes will fuck me" is not the flex you think it is.
I am reading your post and thinking about my job at a major US defense contractor where I write software for laser weapon systems...
It's not because I was bullied though.
I used to use high-powered (4KW) lasers at work every day. Now I make 3D models and sit at a desk.
Guess which job I like more.
Who fucking gets bullied in college?
People who didn't get bullied enough in high school and are usually outspoken libertarians.
Outspoken libertarians aren't going to be bullied in college - outspoken anything in college generally leads to people ignoring you. College students that think they're being bullied most likely attribute normal behavior to bullying - just like incels treat normal human interactions as impediments to getting laid.
Genuine answer: annoying people who inject themselves into social circles in which they're unwelcome. And, no, I'm not defending bullying. I'm just explaining how it happens.
Yeah… This maybe isn’t the nicest way to phrase it, but I’ve seen similar situations. Usually people are just kind of talking behind people’s backs, but sometimes it gets nasty :(. Frankly people kind of get bullied all the time everywhere. It’s maybe not as violent as playground bullying but people will be shitty to people at work, school, whatever. Do your best not to be a part of it, try to be self aware if you might hurt somebody else’s feelings, and try to stand up for people.
Assholes who become tabacco peddlers.
Who still buys tobacco?
Members of the LGBT+ community, for one. People who are neurodivergent commonly face bullying as well.
I guess I just went to a really chill college?
All 4 years of my undergrad my best friend and roommate was a trans woman, we regularly hosted parties where most attendees were members (or even e-board members of) the pride club, i have severe ADHD and many of my closest friends are varying flavors of autistic. As a matter of fact I am still to this day part of a weekly DnD campaign with several of those dick heads.
All that is to say I have a pretty good idea what my college's culture was like for LGBT and neuro divergent people. Probably the most common point of conversation whenever high-school came up was that college was so so so much better about bullying.
I think the only person i know of who got bullied by any stretch of the imagination, was one guy that people just actively avoided because he fucking sucked. Like real piece of shit energy radiating from this guy, and he smelled like 4 year old bottled up farts.
Kids are mean (yes you are still kid when you're an undergrad)
If you're getting bullied in college you're just doing it wrong.
Eventually you have to step back and wonder, "Am I just a piece of shit?". Ask yourself this question, then look at your screen. Are you on 4chan? Do you have Pepe images on your post? If you answered yes to these questions, there's a high probability that you're just a piece of shit.
Genuine question: What do you think I, as a member of the LGBT+ community, did wrong that resulted in being bullied while in college?
For anyone who believes any part of this, I have a fantastic bridge-based real estate opportunity for you.
I think everything on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt.
Even my ramblings. I tell them to the best of my memory, but memory is a funny thing, and your only hearing my side of the story.
Does it happen to be located in a NYC borough to the East of Manhattan?
oh so THAT'S what compels people to work in the tobacco industry. I get it now. Vengeance is yours. You've earned it.
So, one day I’m riding down the road. I’m like 17 or so. I see this super hot red head chick broke down on the side of the road. At the time (in the mid 90s) I was driving a 73 Volkswagen super beetle. Because of my shit car I knew what it was like to be stranded. So, I decided to pull over and see if she needed help.
I get out of my car and immediately realized that these 2 greasy looking middle aged guys were working on her car. I told her I just wanted to make sure she was ok. But it looks like she already has help so I’ll leave.
That’s when she says “Wait, your MJGS right?” I’m like,”Why yes I am”. She says “I’m Stephanie smith we went to school together.” She then says “Please stay, I don’t know these guys and I don’t trust them.”
I agreed and we talked for close to two hours. We laughed and talked about what happened to people we went to school with. Everything was perfect.
The two guys got her car running and left. I gave the guys like $20 or something for their help. It was all I had.
So she and I go to leave, and I stop and ask her if I can have her number. I figured we could go out sometime. After all we had just had a great time chatting it up.
All of a sudden like someone poured cold water over her head. The smile was gone and she looked me in the windows of my soul and said “You used to make fun of me in school.” I said “I swear I don’t remember that, but if I did I’m sorry.” She said “Yeah, you were a real ass hole to me fuck you. The answer is no.” That was one of the only times in my life I was left speechless with my mouth open. I just bowed my head, got in my car, and drove off.
I guess the moral of the story is. Sometimes making a joke at someone else’s expense may not be a huge deal to the person making fun. But it’s a big fucking deal to the person on the receiving end. To this day I don’t remember ever saying anything bad about her. I’m not calling her a liar. I probably did. I just don’t remember it.
I didn’t escape school unscathed. I had people that were super shitty to me too. But that’s a different story. For a different time.
I ran into that chick again about 6 years ago. In our mid 30s. She was a “shot girl” in a seedy gay bar. We talked about the good ole days for a long time. I did not ask for her number again.
in a seedy gay bar.
I did not ask for her number again.
Interesting character arc, OP
Well, when she and I talked, she said that she had an arrangement with several bars around the city. Where she would buy those test tube shots and walk around and sell them. Then give the bar a cut of the profits. She went to gay bars and country bars, and dance clubs.
I think the seedy gay bar part says more about me than her if I’m being honest. Heh.
"Sooooo... Still angry at me or you finally realized that teenagers are assholes and people change?"
Wild ride.
Two takeaways, why did you pay the 20$ to the guys fixing the car? It's not your car and she's not your gf.
Second, I agree with you being a jerk sucks.
Honestly, I felt like an asshole not helping, and she didn’t offer them anything for their help. Looking back maybe that was a sign. But yeah I thought that these 2 guys that got her car running deserved at least a 12 pack of beer each (remember we are talking mid 90s prices). So, I gave them a 20. Plus if I’m being 100% honest. I was probably trying to look cool. It did not impress. Heh
Moral of the story never help women.
I wonder why this individual was bullied
Being autistic can get someone bullied, and the person on the receiving end may not even know what they did wrong because of their autism.
Have you met a bully?
Usually bully has a reason that they bully, but their targets are just whoever looks like an easy target. If it turns out that they are, they keep them.
We do not know if the person was bullied or just had an extreme sense of entitlement or some other type of personality disorder which made them believe everyone who didn't treat them a specific way was bullying them.
I actually know a girl who was always the good looking one who got a job with Philip Morris. She moved from a prairie town in Canada to Paris for work and from what I see on social media she's living a pretty damn luxurious life. We used to be pretty good friends in university but haven't kept up.
She didn't like it for the first bit, she wasn't shy about saying so but the money and opportunities....she stopped talking that way after a few years and now she only comes home for the holidays.
Sounds like she got hooked.

Someone's gotta work for them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Them smokers arent gonna feed themselvesSounds like they need some more bullying
When you're in a hostile environment, it's natural to be hostile to your environment.
Sure, sounds like someone who'd suddenly get a $250k/yr job.
Seriously, this is "Dad is either a C level executive for a major bank and he gave you a job on the condition that you stop doing pills or you got hired right out of a top ranked tech school by a FAANG" money.
I rate this a Didn't happen/10

This is a person who thinks that everyone else in the world is to blame, instead of considering the far more likely answer that they are the asshole. Jesus.
Bullied in college? Nobody got time for that.
Good for you anon, I'm glad you're doing well.
Godspeed. This is like my story but mine is far less extreme
Stellar ad for getting people to stop smoking.
No get the job to get access, then lol so the tobacco big wigs. Literally kill everyone who knows anything about commercial tobacco, and find a substance that can be safely deployed worldwide to make tobacco extinct.
That will make the world a better place.
