Statements from the now-unemployed:

 

 

 

I don’t mean to be callous as my sympathies are absolutely with the people who got laid off here but if any CEO says “layoffs are immoral” that’s a red flag that is itself waving several other huge red flags.

I don't know the statistics, but there are simply FAR too many unemployed or underemployed people with college degrees to make it a rational decision for most young adults.

This is just not supported by the data at all.

I always add cultural pressure to this mix. I cannot undersell how much it was ingrained into millennials that a college education was pretty much the only chance at success unless you were a freak. Thus: get a college education at any cost.

Unless it's changed fairly recently, having literally any college degree is correlated with significantly higher lifetime earnings compared to people without a 4 year degree. That doesn't warrant taking out massive loans to obtain nor justifies the continual inflation of the cost of said degree of course, but in general getting any degree is better than not having one even if we're talking solely economics and none of the other benefits of a college education.

You can never truly hide a blue check, when you see someone with as many followers as I have as the first reply and they’re posting the stupidest fucking shit you’ve ever seen in your life, the blue check is obvious even if it’s not visible.

People make fun of the blue checks because LOL at paying for Twitter.  He lets them hide the blue check.  Then he forces the blue check on people who don't want it but are high profile, stops letting people hide the blue check.

It’s almost like Elon is a fucking moron who is terrible at everything, if he posted about how salt water was bad for you I’d run to the sea and start chugging.

So true, it's like, "tell me who you are without telling me".  

The “it’s not fascism it’s authoritarianism” crowd is really flexing their “technically it’s ephebophilia” muscles.

Edit: I mean, there are MAGA incel chuds who don't get Fight Club or American Beauty or American History X. They take the wrong message that the films are actually skewering. So "over the top" seems hard to imagine with people who can't even understand basic film language.

People are actively not getting that Helldivers 2 is satirical right now, so that tracks.  

Charlie Kirk is a phrenologist's wet dream and an absolute dumpster fire of a human being.

First: I assume you could use Automator to make a script for your terminal commands and keep it on your desktop, someplace handy, or named something unique so Spotlight could find it. if you know the Terminal commands I'd just google how to use Automator to do what you want and you should find it pretty easily

Second: I don't think performance boost while plugged in is a thing on MacOS

Third: I haven't used it, so no comment there

Fourth: If you're just looking for something to keep it safe when you're tossing it in your bag, I usually roll with cheaper stuff on amazon that I don't feel bad abusing. For a dock, depends on your setup and how you wanna use it, if you're looking for Thunderbolt connections, the number of displays, if you want the dock itself to be portable, etc. Current MacBook Pros have been nice and I haven't felt compelled to accessorize mine other than a mouse now that they all have ports / slots beyond USB C again

Fifth: Yes

Their first few albums are pretty good if you like 70's hard rock / glam. After that, yeesh.

The books beyond Messiah might as well be a photocopier that spits out Duncan Idahos and a lognform worm LARP, the less they're considered for a film adaptation, the better.  

Rehoboam deez nuts

I appreciate that Joker is not a bad movie but I just can't get over the notion that it's an inferior, edgelord version of The King of Comedy. The performances are good but I didn't think they were especially remarkable and how it ended up making a billion dollars is something I'll never understand.

more proof discord needs to be deleted

Only if it takes Reddit down with it.

FFVI is my favorite JRPG. I appreciate that it's not paced as well or has characters as interesting as Chrono Trigger, it's probably not as much of a leap forward for the genre or series as FFIV was, and its impact is a ripple next to FFVII's splash. But it came out at the right time in my life for me to go absolutely apeshit over it and the nostalgia is undefeated. I have a lot of early internet memories tied to it as well, it came out when the transition away from BBS to modern websites was in full swing and there was a lot of fansite bullshit out there on places like Geocities that had nonsense like how to get General Leo in your party that didn't work and required a shitload of effort.

Obviously I'd play a remake, but I love the game as it is, warts and all, and I think it kind of stinks that in versions like the Pixel Remaster, the Sketch glitch is fixed. Is it better that your save can't get totally corrupted? Of course, but I like an inventory with 500+ Excaliburs for Shadow to throw like they're ninja stars and for everyone to dual wield Atma Weapons.

I plan on running my Mazda until it dies/I suddenly come into a ton of money for some reason.  I’m hoping that by that time the Rivian R3 will be out and vaguely affordable as my kids will be old enough that I won’t need a car seat or stroller anymore and I’ll need way less specialty crap when traveling.

 

 

 

I, too, really like the R3.

Ehhhhhh - while that could certainly be the case for a relatively minor portion of Tesla buyers in North America and Europe, the fact of the matter is that the relatively "inexpensive" Chinese vehicles are cleaning Tesla's clock in a very significant market.  Chinese buyers really aren't all that phased by Musk's reputation.

Broadly speaking I don't think people care about stuff like Elon being a twat or even larger, actual issues... VW is doing fine, people buy Ubisoft games, etc.

Just ask @Jason he can check the IP

He’s packing large wood, but it’s not so big that a VPN can’t take it all in.

Making decent progress on painting my core set. Terrain is all done. B1s, Ventress, Rex, and Clones are done. Haven’t painted consistently in a while, so some of the stuff I usually struggle with doing as well as I’d like, such as faces and eyes, aren’t where I’d like them to be, but practicing on someone like Ventress who doesn’t have human skin helps with reps just thinning and glazing consistently. Trying to be “productive” during what I hope is a briefly tenured bout of unemployment; helps that I’ve spent a tremendous amount of money on this hobby and have a ton to paint without having to spend more.
