    Look if going to college didn’t cost four years of time with 20K per year, where in my career you’d be near to outdated (tech), I’d go.

    But for tech I feel like its almost a scam. I’d rather have the certs and/or practical knowledge or be able to go through an interview via algorithms, soft skills, explaining how to go through what I know. Its harder work to learn this way but I think it keeps your skills sharper.

    I got perma banned off of reddit for commenting on a sub that I had been banned from, and instead of them just not letting my comment post - they instead basically ban you for posting again.

    So if you get banned of a sub on reddit and forget because…who cares… You get yourself perma’d for ban evasion.

    I got banned from like a news sub for saying “surprise not everyone shares your political opinion, of course there’s dissent”.

    That’s when reddit for me went absolutely to shit. Just getting blacklisted by mods who are reading into everything.

    Unregulated lobbied capitalism. I’m okay with capitalism and competing ideas. What I’m not okay with is some of the late stage problems we’ve encountered as a society. Assuming the US average person lives to be a very low of 50, we are four generations deep. Ive known two generations in my own lineage. That’s not very long.

    It’s okay to make better systems. Even for billionaires its okay because a rising tide floats all the boats. This is something that needs to be taught better to the upper class. If these guys had less complaining workers, people willing to contribute more so in their enterprises, workers who are happy to make their products, it would be fine. Putting the squeeze on the little guy does nothing for these dudes besides some tight margins.

    Coupled with a very elderly legislative body we are left with senseless greed in both trade and politics. Portions of the population just consume politics like it’s a sitcom. What we’re left with is a system in need of refinement.








  • I don’t have access to that data. And I don’t won’t to be misconstrued as promoting Elon or his activities (not that you’re doing that but I see the downvotes).

    I’m just explaining what I think he’s doing. It’s what I’d pitch personally if I noticed red voters trend and visibly meme anti EV and I had obligations to shareholders I had to keep.

    People are better off buying EV anyways. ICE vehicles are disgusting. I think people just like to assign large structures like businesses and folks like Elon to their political idealogies. Businesses and governments have to be larger than that because they need to serve people at the end of the day with either product or policy.



  • I’m a fan of looking up articles information especially in regards to far left media. Far right usually is pretty easy to tell it’s fake because it’s so outlandish and off the cuff.

    I looked into some of the guys mentioned in this article to confirm if they’re far right or if they’re actually just some old guy bitching about the way things used to be and going a little too far… No. It was like hardcore racists making insane remarks online. Some of them I couldn’t find but look it up. One of them has a website. Insanity.

    Good article OP.





  • Thanks for sharing some info. And no I didn’t know that. I appreciate that it was a mild sharing of info. I’m from New England and I think even just getting back to home and leaving the intense heat of California would feel far more comfortable.

    You’d be surprised what living on the other side of the mountain - in silicon valley - brings for heat. Santa Cruz feels nice normal and cool to me while the valley just gets so scorching it’s almost untenable living here.


  • Gnubyte@lemdit.comtoMemes@lemmy.mlEnjoy it while it lasts.

    I’m thinking of moving to a state that’s colder where I can buy land that has water within the property.

    I also think to do anything sizeable you need the resources a company can bring. Our problems are at scale. You need a scaled resource pool and reinvestment in that to work up to some of the issues. I like the idea of carbon extraction for example, but I don’t see any resources invested in it from US companies.
