However, when I get to the partitioning part of the installation, there...

In our post-AI era, is job security strictly mythical? Or How to believe in careers as a concept worth doing?

With the lastest news of AI layoffs, I’m struggling to understand how the idea of a career still holds. If careers themselves effectively become gambles like lottery tickets, how do we maintain drive and hopes in the longterm endgame of our struggles?...

Best advice columnists?

Like in the same vein as Ask Amy or Dear Prudence. I’m trying to get away from Best of Redditor Updates but I’m not ready to quit my “oh no she didn’t!” addiction just yet.

Is there a website that collects Donald Trump's most incoherent speeches and tweets?

Sorry if this is the wrong community for this. I’m looking for a compilation of Trump’s most rambling moments (e.g., “Look, having nuclear”; Gettysburg being beautiful; etc.). Does anyone know of any sites that would have something like this? Thank you!
