I agree with this. Talking to the janitor just makes both of us feel bad.

It’s hard to talk to people who make 10x less than you and live in a HCOL city without making somebody feel like shit. Janitors have terrible lives and I’m sure both of us would rather not discuss it.

I feel the same way from Canada and that’s why I’m going to leave the country. It’s humiliating to talk to my American coworkers about my personal life

Because I’ll also have to create my own power company and solar panel manufacturing facility at the rate things are going

This is really concerning. I feel like it’s easy to justify now because every major infrastructure provider is on the same side culturally, but what happens when services without competition become ideologically opposed? Imagine an ISP shutting down service to a Visa data centre because they allow cannabis purchases LOL.

The xenophobia in this thread is shocking. Foreigners have just as much of a right to live in Portugal as people who were born there. Nobody is entitled to live somewhere just because they want to and there are still lots of affordable countries if you don’t want to put in the work

> In 2019, the college students surveyed by Clever expected to make $57,964 — about $10,000 more than the average starting salary at the time, which was $47,000. Just three years later, college students are expecting to make nearly $46,000 more.

Looks like a bad survey.. I don’t think I’ve ever met somebody in a non-tech or non-professional major who expects to make 100k+ at graduation

> purchasing their first home for 30k and flipping it for 100k not long after

In a lot of markets here (I’m Canadian) average people who bought average homes in the mid 2010’s (millennials) have already made over a million dollars. Most home owners make way more money from their home than their job. This will never happen to my generation.

Isn’t this completely reasonable? I would expect that at least 1/4 homes is a rental and every rental home is owned by an investor.

Do you get paid for any of this?

> I’m also from the Midwest and don’t know how to order sushi.

So was I, and everyone thought I was a barbarian.

It isn’t necessarily the food itself, it’s just that the food marks somebody as lower class. For example, not knowing how to order sushi or use chopsticks. Maybe a better example is not knowing anything about wine. People will think you’re stupid or have bad taste. What would you think of a coworker bringing bologna and ketchup sandwiches to the office?

There’s no way to run a service like this without it turning into a hookup site. I would never trust a room here. Too many predators.

It makes your bones grow in a less masculine way during puberty so men have more feminine faces and narrower bones. They look younger because their facial structure is more childlike

Now you go on welfare and find a $400/month apartment in rural Nebraska

> Imagine a bar where every time you walked in the door a half dozen dudes invariably turned around on their barstools and told you your clothes look like shit, your face is disgusting, you hair style is stupid

It’s real and it’s every gay bar

> manner in which most people express themselves

tbh I think this is not true in tech. More like laptop stickers and luxury Twitter bios. Sometimes I wonder if my coworkers know they have a physical form

Wearing tech swag is for people who use Android phones

Thank you Marsey, very cool!

> Social Justice for the Short Man

The height wage gap is bigger than the gender wage gap. Short men are more oppressed than average women and everyone knows it

Obviously correct. Being ugly is much worse than racism in the present day and it’s only going to get worse. Nobody is willing to stand up for ugly people rights.

This was inevitable. The law isn’t well justified. Abortion depends on privacy rights? It makes no sense…

> Whether it be meditation or prayer, the act of articulating your thoughts to your deity is a great way to come to divine realisations. In essence, it's rubber-ducking with God.

GOOD point

The problem is that the new season includes current events. I don’t care that the villain is a Nazi, but making a caricature of a present day political opponent and then beating them up on screen goes too far. I’m so sick of hearing about BLM.

The Tolkien Society is completely filled with oversocialized academics who compete to find the most insane interpretations of his work as possible. Not a good source! I wish they would be disbanded

Make a tinder account with an ugly woman and you will see that I’m right

Very bad news. Every drone I see is a reminder that other people can afford houses and I never will. I will be picking up a BB gun or slingshot soon.

More like 20 guys will have sex with 80 of the women, 80 guys will compete for the 20 least desirable girls.

> who are they going to date?

Nobody. They all have casual sex with the same 20% of guys then cry when they can’t make him commit

Women get bombarded with offers for sex when they put in 0 effort. Why blame men for not trying? If you have to try then it’s already over..
