I’m out of the loop what tech gizmo startups? Are people buying unitasking devices that a smartphone can do?

How’d it taste? Looks yummy
Turbine should connect to loudspeaker to make this a closer system lol
6/10 bit is ok
If your boss is otherwise a dick yes I’d be concerned. (Had my own bad experience with something like that. Dick boss giving you a pep talk can be the warm up act for worse things…) If they seem to actually give a shit about you in general then it’s probably just them being genuine.
I don’t disagree with any of that; I think we’re basically saying the same thing. I think ultimately what you described applies to all first world inhabitants, particularly Americans, regardless of their job. The cheap comforts of capitalism via third world exploitation even for low paid workers is a significant barrier to class consciousness but the magic sauce is quickly evaporating. We’ve all been brainwashed at some point in our lives and eventually we woke up. Everyone is on their journey, and we’re all going to be on the same side in the end. my goal is to reduce exclusionary rhetoric to accelerate that goal but ig that just comes across as “um ackshully” to some folks.
Also I like your username lol
Not interested in a flame war but I would describe that as an inaccurate characterization of what I was saying. all I said is you’re mad at the wrong people
What’s the cut off do you suppose? 100k? 150k? 70k? 40k? How poor do you have to be to count as a real socialist in your mind? Anyone who is having a portion of their labor being extracted by a capitalist owner can be radicalized. At worst you could classify middle class Americans as the petit bourgeois. Many have been fooled by being successful in a system where not everyone can be a winner but even Marx thought in the end the petit bourgeois would side with the proletariat. Look it’s not a great place to occupy for sure but the effort is to find coalitions not subdivide further
And anecdotally I find what you said to be untrue but maybe that’s just me
There are over 1.5 million software engineering jobs in the US and less than a third of them are in Silicon Valley. Neoliberal horizontal hostility trap. average software engineer makes around $150k. Yes that’s a fantastic salary beyond what many people could imagine but that’s not a quit your job at 40 kind of salary. Y’all are mad at the wrong people. Did you quit your job when the frito lay strike happened? Why not? No class solidarity smh
Find better friends? I don’t understand what them being tech people has anything to do with them being assholes. To be clear, what you’re describing is for sure asshole behavior. I have worked in relatively high paying and low paying jobs and have seen all types in all positions. Some people just suck
Probably only if you are a principle engineer at FAANG and not even these days since the tech crash. But mrah someone who is ultimately also just a laborer made more money than me so they’re the problem.
Yeah it was just to make a point to all the hand wringers about the national debt, I don’t actually think paying the debt down is a good thing. Idk that much about it but every time I’ve looked into it I become convinced it’s not an extreme concern, they just shell game the money between the fed and the treasury and delete the money off the balance sheet.
The majority of US debt is owed to American citizens and corporations. I’m not sure how much is owed to the 1% but probably a significant fraction. Great point
US debt, $35 trillion.
US 1%, $45 trillion
US 1% less US debt: $10 trillion
US population:330 million
1% of US population: 3.3 million
US 1% less US debt per person: ~$3 million
If you took as much needed to pay down the debt it would leave enough money they’d still never have to work again. Sounds like an easy solution to me. Even more so if you make the top 0.1% pay more than the other 0.9%
I buy secondhand online when I can from non Amazon websites, there’s several of them. I’m sure they’re probably flawed in their way too but it gives those books new life and you get them cheaper
If you live in the US call 988 for mental health crisis support.
All I’ll say is it can get better, never believe it can’t happen. Anecdotally ketamine therapy helped me a lot. DM me if you just want someone to talk to but I probably can’t reply quickly
SpaceX actually did use some kind of TS/JS chrome browser thing for their docking controls lol…
Guess what? Flight Software usually uses ancient proprietary compilers for specialized hardware running an RTOS, rip 😢
Two races: white, political
