Sometimes there just isn’t a solution or it’s not the right time. That’s what bitching is good for. Imagine being the world’s most dedicated republican in 1750s France. You could analyze the state of the world and everything required to fix it but no matter what you do there’s still decades of feudalism left and feudalism fucking sucks. That’s where we are today and these bandaid solutions like making “better” companies are like asking the King to be nicer. It changes nothing fundamentally..

Maybe your lord is a great guy and he does everything right but tomorrow his son comes into power and he could whip you. That’s what a good company is like. My new manager is an asshole who ruined my great job.

> mobility and the ability to move to where the jobs are.

This is a sign of low class status and lack of success. Rich people change the world to fit their needs. Poor people change themselves to fit the world. Leaving your entire family and social network behind for work is extremely middle class behaviour

What houses? In Canada we stick 5 of them in every basement with no path to ownership. They’re happy to share bedrooms because it’s better than where they came from. The “underclass” of today got in early enough to own land and will be the landed gentry of tomorrow

The most likely future is that we start standardizing infrastructure and building in a different way that’s easy for robots to use. Kind of like how cars would suck if we didn’t have roads and Benjamin Franklin couldn’t have predicted power plants and wires to every home. Then people who can’t afford the new stuff will keep paying plumbers but there’s a slow path to get rid of them. The old stuff will always be around but much less important.

I expect new “robo friendly” roads will be the first example but of course homes could do the same.

Think like how the Catholic Church never disappeared but the rest of the world moved on around it. We will never get rid of context sensitive plumbing and electrical work but it just won’t really matter

You should respect those people for actually looking into it. I do believe the moon landing is real but it’s based almost on blind faith. Same thing for almost everything I believe about the world. Stay open minded and don’t criticize people who put effort into things you’ve never bothered to research. You’ll be surprised how often you don’t know much about anything.

In my experience we patch the hole in the tire and then get directed to patch a hole in another tire. Manager says work on the highest priority tire so now there are 2 partially broken tires but the problem is technically fixed. Repeat for 10 years and now it’s time to rebuild it “correctly”, but actually we just have two cars to patch since nobody knows what awful hacks we need to port over for “expected” behaviour

Is this a joke? Genuinely the worst advice I have ever read on this site.

> Start taking on as much contract work doing "freelance tech" that I can find

Why do you think he could find any?

Have you ever tried a Maharaja Mac?

Thank you for your time

Every reasonable person agrees with me. It’s obvious. Would you ever write a unit test to assert true is true? Sometimes you can just look at the problem and the right answer is so clear that everyone knows it

The operator deserves to be killed for this. Stop defending evil

The PM who asked for this deserves to be arrested

No thanks. I still need to follow up on that 10mg escitalopram prescription from 2017..

hard to believe I found an even bigger schizo than me on this site

You are the one who will be made to cry

We’re moving to a future where average people can’t afford cars. America will be car free soon too. Maybe everyone will ride electric bicycles instead, but there’s no way an average household can afford a car in 30 years and in Canada we’re almost there already. We can hope for $10k Chinese cars can save us but the bigger issue is nobody can afford a driveway and public charging infrastructure is too slow.

A few people including most users on this site will still have cars, but you’ll be so happy with lower emissions, lower traffic, and more walkable neighborhoods that you’ll vote to keep the rest of us poor and immobile

You could advocate for bombing America and there wouldn’t be such a strong response. Who is really running things here?

Only boring people can afford to live in SF

I like informative ads. Like old newspaper or magazine ads that are just a picture of the item and a few bullet points about what it offers. Ads like this post are manipulative and they weaponize psychology to make people buy things they wouldn’t want otherwise

> younger generations seemed to only view it negatively

I’m too young to remember this ad but I’m disgusted by it now. I hate advertising to begin with but this one floods the street with plastic which destroys private property and will never get cleaned up. What is there to like about it? How was this ever allowed? Imagine today I make an ad about dumping red 40 into the Mississippi River for a Netflix show. It’s evil and everyone knows it.

Just get a regular job and quit after a few months. Don’t put it on your resume and don’t work anywhere that the burnt bridges matter. They would have no problem laying you off after 6 months

mozilla burnt my shake and fucked my wife

Why does it matter? If the system was different the whole campaign would have changed. Only the votes that matter actually matter. The rest is just speculation and you really have no idea what would happen to the popular vote if that’s what was important. He won!

more cope from the “experts”

Choose the one that would get assigned to you socially. The gender filter is about what other people want to talk to, not what you consider yourself

What’s a “real gender”?

> which right off the bat will make many people close the website

These people dominate every other discussion online and it makes me like his site even more if they’re not there. Most people feel the same way as me.
