some_guy , to aboringdystopia in 82-year-old Las Vegas McDonald's worker can't afford to retire after decades of service

A true statement, even if it doesn’t apply here.

People can be completely fucked at the same time that others are hoarding wealth. Consider those who own multiple homes while young families can’t purchase one. Our elders are fucking us over. Said the guy who will soon be an elder.

some_guy , to asklemmy in Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?

DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR PASSION

Fuck this. I’m a computer guy who didn’t finish high school (credits wouldn’t transfer) and got a GED so I could start college early. I didn’t finish that either. I got a job among CS grads at one of the most prestigious tech companies because I spent a ton of energy learning about computers because that shit was exciting to me.

I’m bored and lazy as fuck about it now. I’m still learning new things (started a new homelab again two months ago) but it’s nothing like when I was younger and had a ton of energy to stay up until dawn learning. I had no future and it still worked out because I pursued my passion to the fullest degree.

If your passion isn’t marketable, perhaps this makes sense. But the all caps “this is a truth” way that this was presented really rubbed me the wrong way.

I love and support education. Go to school. Get an education. Most people will likely not build a career without that. But holy shit, if you’re hardcore about a thing and that thing can make you money, you might be able to do without the education only because your education comes from spending every minute of every day educating yourself outside of the system.

Ok, going back to bed. Apologies if any of this is muddled.

some_guy , to news in J.D. Vance says he gets bad press because most journalists are “childless adults”

I’m a childless adult. I’m such a terrible person. I worship the devil and I kill people. What are you gonna do about it? My cats are literally tiny Satans.

Actually, they fucking rock. Best kitties in the world.

some_guy , to science in AI models fed AI-generated data quickly spew nonsense

At least a human artist on LSD makes stuff that looks interesting / good.

some_guy , to technology in Sam Altman urges formation of US-led AI freedom coalition • The Register

Fuck Sam Altman. Dude is a conman.

some_guy , to insanepeoplefacebook in Do you see it too?

See, all these people who wonder how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids don’t realize that they were hauling those stones in Cybertrucks!

some_guy , to news in 1 in 3 companies have dropped college degree requirements for some jobs. See which fields they're in.

I was raised in a family where not getting a higher education was doom. I felt like a failure for not completing it. I turned my self-taught skills into a software engineering position at one of the big dogs. I had terrible imposter syndrome for the first six months. But later on, fuck that.

Fun fact: I don’t have a high school diploma either because credits weren’t going to transfer between schools and I’d have to graduate late. Got a GED and started uni classes while my friends were in their senior year.

The other fun thing that needs to change about job requirements: five years experience for an entry-level position. How the fuck do you expect anyone to break into an industry?

some_guy , to insanepeoplefacebook in Neanderthals didn't wear chain mail! Checkmate, evolutionists!

These people are so fucking stupid.

some_guy , to asklemmy in What's an immediate turn on in a person?

Emotional intelligence.

some_guy , to lemmyshitpost in All I Know Is Rejection. When I Was A Kid, My Yo-Yo: It Never Came Back

Poor guy got no respect. It was pretty sad.

Seriously, though. I saw his standup for the first time several years ago. I think this was from the early 80s on Carson and the dude was lit. I only knew him from movies and his general schtick. I’d never seen his timing and delivery. He was great.

Can I interest you in this Chick Tract?

some_guy , to news in JD Vance Doubles Down on Attack on 'Childless Cat Ladies'.

And then the show worked it into the script. Wooha mofos.

some_guy , to news in Secret DEA files show agents joked about rape in a WhatsApp chat. Then one of them was accused of it

About 3 a.m., the woman said, police and an ambulance arrived and found her bruised around the wrists and Zoumberos very drunk. She told AP she locked herself in the bathroom before fleeing the hotel through the fire exit in a state of utter shock.

Fucking unbelievable. Sadly believable.

some_guy , to asklemmy in Do flat earthers think other planets are flat? All of them or some of them? Are stars (including and excluding the sun) flat too?

Sometimes someone says something just the right way. Well done.
