Revenge?

deadBeefCafe2014 · 2020-04-12T02:20:04+00:00

Revenge and hate, while justifiable in their source at times, consumes far too much energy and mindshare. Rage also clouds judgement. This kind of thirst let’s the fools live in your head rent free. They don’t deserve this kind of control over you.

If you must seek vengeance, you have to be absolutely cold about it. However, I find most people hang themselves eventually, usually when they’re older.

Living well is often the best revenge.

That’s my take.

The best revenge is time. If an opportunity falls in your lap, that's one thing, but otherwise, let it go.

For example, and this is one I've always remembered.

I was working at a company as a lowly tech, and there was a higher level tech level where some snooty feminist twat-burger was working. She was filled with entitlement and girl power, and since she got lots of attention being a sort of half-asian waifu type, all the boys slobbered on her as pussy thirst is a serious problem.

I was talking to her one day at work and having a particular technical protocol/solution issue and I wasn't understanding what she was trying to explain.

I had been going over the problem so much for weeks that, true story, I had started dreaming of it so it was 16 hours a day then a bonus 8 hours at night.

I still remember it now, years later.

COM1 Range 0x3F8 – 0x3FF IRQ 4

COM2 Range 0x2F8 – 0x2FF IRQ 3

COM3 Range 0x3E8 – 0x3EF IRQ 4

COM4 Range 0x2E8 – 0x2EF IRQ 3

Those are the I/O address ranges and interrupts for the serial com ports to communicate, and fill up the National semiconductor 8250 UART's 1 byte (IIRC) cache, which was then replaced with the NS 16550 UART with (IIRC) 16 whole bytes of buffer space, putting an (mostly) end to the buffer overflows.

So there were some serial communication problems, which I was having problems following up some problems with.

Anyhoo, so I was talking to tech waifu and during the course of conversation we were discussing possible solutions, and the comment came up that, "You, and your opinions don't matter, you're nobody."

Ah sweet music. She had me pegged, it is absolutely true, me and my opinions don't matter.

Fast forward about 9 months. I had left that company for a fun little start up making $11 / hour. You got to work, at my peek, about 60 hours a week, but you were paid monthly, and overtime wasn't included. You got your flat $450 or so a week. And no, this wasn't in 1920 where that would have been a lot of money. I think it was about 2x minimum wage at the time.

I was a rising star at the new company and quickly moved into a lead position, and since they had what we would call liberal hiring policies, like if you drank at a bar with the CEO he'd hire you kind of hiring. But he was 23 or so and also a rising start in the business world himself, so a rising tide lifts all boats.

I happened to see a bunch of newbies coming in for interviews and I saw her there. I think we shared maybe a millisecond of eye contact during that time.

She looked much different than before. Skin clearer, looked healthier. Apparently she was beating a serious alcohol and cocaine addiction problem, which no doubt exacerbated her attitude before. I've dealt with coke addicts. It's a hell of a drug. It seriously fucks your life up, so please, don't get into cocaine. You piss away more of your life and money than a divorce will.

Since I saw her ready to interview for a job, naturally I went to the CEO and sat down and said, "There's a woman out there I've worked with before, she's an angry bull dyke and if you hire her I quit."

Turns out my contributions were more valuable than hers because she was never hired.

This company gave me a chance, someone with a useless philosophy degree, to end up making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, starting two corporations, moving into doing AI design in the financial services industry, making boatloads of cash doing predictive marketing and finance analysis for high net worth clients, firing tons of SJWs and those deemed to be problematic for the company, and retiring in my thirties.

I'm sure she might have enjoyed a similar opportunity, but she would have most likely just been a liability to the company.

As I said, take advantage of opportunities, but don't seek them out. When something falls on your lap, hopefully you're a better person than I and don't take advantage of it, for when you seek revenge you dig two coffins.

I wonder if she was my impetus for firing so many #woke people? Oh well, I guess they shouldn't have learned to code.

Morb357 · 2020-04-12T01:54:49+00:00

I believe in revenge. I don't go out of my way to get it, but if the opportunity presents itself, I take it.

johnnyy4500 · 2020-04-12T03:53:42+00:00

I believe there are 3 situations where you should take revenge:

-It's lucrative to do so

-You lost something that can't be replaced (eg a loved one, a limb)

-When not taking revenge is going to be more damaging than taking revenge (eg losing face)

It goes without saying that you should not endanger yourself when taking revenge

Rottinghere · 2020-04-12T04:00:32+00:00

There's nothing wrong with taking revenge. In fact, it can be an incredibly powerful and therapeutic endeavor when executed with good judgment. But you must make sure that you actually go about taking revenge rather than wasting time indulging in procrastination and daydreams. If you're not willing to follow through 100%, it is better to just let things go. Energy must be put into action, not fantasies. Weigh your options, and then decide what the best course of action would be for you to take.

Hatred is a powerful force. It is perhaps the purest and most human emotion that we have—the concentrated fuel of one's spirit. In the right hands, it can be a gift, and when properly harnessed, it can make history. When allowed to burn uncontrolled and unattached from any meaningful purpose, it has the potential to wastefully consume our lives. Hatred can only be what a man makes of it. Is your desire for revenge worthy of your hatred? Are you willing to use your hatred for something productive? If so, do you have the necessary discipline and focus required to tap into that kind of energy?

Think carefully...

Whatever you decide to do, make sure that put your all into it. Anything else is a waste of precious time.

Depending on the situation, I don't know the details but if someone tried to ruin your life and succeeded, By all means get revenge but nothing violent, Know the old saying revenge is best served cold?

Just running over and beating the fuck out of somebody who wronged you leads you nowhere good. It will lead you to jail, and paying for their rehabilitation plus "pain and suffering" Also, an ass kicking is just an ass kicking, depending on the human being you're speaking about they've probably already had some of them and it's not that big of a deal.

The goal shouldn't be just to make the person in question miserable, but to teach them what goes around comes around, and that maybe if they weren't such a piece of shit things would've worked out better. Thing is, it's a double edged sword, if you fuck someone over and finish ruining your own life in the process then you failed. There's also something to the saying living well is the best revenge.

Why are you asking us? What's your way?

CoinSwapTrader · 2020-04-12T02:40:52+00:00

Do not become the monster they want you to become

rayedward363 · 2020-04-12T02:47:09+00:00

I try to avoid revenge if I can, and being distant from the ones that hurt you helps. But if those people came into my life again, I'm more afraid that I would do something that I would regret (and might land me in jail). Hate is fine, just never let it control you. Use it as a reminder of how people can be.

Airman07 · 2020-04-12T02:47:12+00:00

If i knew I could get away with it I would. I do not think I'm smart enough. Or willing to dedicate the time to pull it off.

slamdunktiger86 · 2020-04-12T03:19:50+00:00

I believe in revenge and also living a better life.

Patience is best wielded by one with a target in mind.

Bide your time.

My revenge is best served cold and I don’t let them suffer briefly. It will long and drawn out. And if done correctly, I’ll never be thought of. 🙃

thatMGTOWguy · 2020-04-12T04:41:28+00:00

I believe in revenge. The best revenge is being successful.

jws755 · 2020-04-12T04:47:37+00:00

I have a person in my life whom I would not walk across the street to pee on, were they on fire. They have done tremendous damage to me, stuff that I may never recover from.

The good news is that they aren't doing well on their own, and their failure will be solely from their own ignorance/greed, and I will have nothing to do with it.

In some ways I came out better after the encounter, so while I won't thank them, I will leave this person to their own ends, and let karma have it.

jeetz09 · 2020-04-12T04:53:15+00:00

No, because I did it and it brought back drama and unnecessary aggravation. Be the bigger person and work on yourself. Success is the best revenge. Clean and lawful.

Alexius_von_Meinong · 2020-04-12T05:47:07+00:00

Living well is the best revenge.

But sometimes the gods want blood.

WashYourNose · 2020-04-12T07:19:06+00:00

Yes, by get revenge by being as successful/happy as you can

Demiacus · 2020-04-12T07:28:40+00:00

For me revenge is trying to be the best version of yourself. Move on, move out, learn a bit of stuff to pay the bills, have a hobby, meet some people and weed out the rest of the people who don't give you the support needed.

Now it depends how much they fucked you up, but if you get your shit together and have a good life, they might take notice and that's when you can tell them to fuck off.

Now... do you want to take revenge quickly or slowly ?

Quick is simple and violent. It does get the job done though.

Either way, don't think that you'll teach anyone "a lesson" by taking revenge. People are too consumed with themselves and most likely won't relate the actions that they made a while back to something you are doing today.

GoodMan_Gone · 2020-04-12T10:29:44+00:00

I dissapear. Because taking revenge means I still care for those people.

Velsoxof_25 · 2020-04-12T15:30:02+00:00

The best revenge is to not be like your enemy

KUL-DANK · 2020-04-12T16:05:19+00:00

there are some people i know i would really like to see dead, but i wouldnt kill nor harm them

Instead i chose to not think about it if possible and concentrate on whats ahead of me

Like right now im working out, studying and investing as much as possible into cryptocurrency, because i believe its the future and that with cryptos i might finally get that "F. you money", since i always have been poor and i would really like to be rich
