bvan: I put a post about Lodwick online
I think he's a big ol nerd
jessica.haralson: he completely shuts down at ANY criticism
bvan: he doesn't see the value in humility
jessica.haralson: well, as i said to him
NO one thinks he shouldn't aim high
he's mischaracterizing his detractors
and creating straw men to make himself feel better
bvan: he's socially weak
too vulnerable to snide remarks
jessica.haralson: he also puts his neck on the chopping block
somehow i maintain an internet presence and avoid hardcore criticism
and if someone says something oh wellz
bvan: yeah. same here. I get away with a lot of ballsy statements and foul jokes that way
jessica.haralson: he'll be back in like 3 weeks
bvan: next week
jessica.haralson: the comments are making me laugggh
bvan: "I want to live like common people!"
jessica.haralson: i like the british commonfolk talk
it's funnier since i'm re-reading pride and prejudice
lodwick made his income from trade which would actually keep him out of the landed gentry
bvan: he doesn't anymore
could he have converted?
I mean, can you even call it "trade" if you just borrow money from your dad's friends to buy a bunch of servers to host tasteless internet videos?
jessica.haralson: social mobility wasn't much of a concept in the regency area
he'd be solidly in the entrepreneur class which means he'd be invited to the tables of the gentry but would never be a part of them.
MAYBE his kids if he passed on wealth to them, and they never had to work.
it was also considered very vulgar to live where you work
this is probably the only situation where being an english major is applicable to a real world situation
bvan: I'm going to blog this.
