This looks cool

It’s loss

This is where we never should have tolerated airport security in the first place, among other reasons but this is alone sufficient to abolish the TSA

Mandate renewable energy and van open loop water cooling. Can’t afford it? You don’t need a datacenter then

What the actual fuck is wrong with you

That’s totally fried

It was apartheid. Now it’s also genocide

To be fair, many Jews are standing up. It’s just that nearly every Jewish institution is corrupted by Israel

All for the crime of doing what everyone always told you was the smart and responsible decision. In retrospect I wish I ignored that one skip class more. Smoking weed behind the bleachers was better than trying to get into a college or I’d leave with no degree and unpayable debt

Yeah, for the most part. NYC metro is in need of renovation bit it’s very big

If you didn’t have a car you would very quickly not have a home either. Having your car break down and not being able to have a replacement is a common cause of homelessness by way of job loss.

France generally has good enough public transit in most areas that you can live without a car if you’re poor. In America you’re lucky if you have anything more than the most thread there public transit system where the bus is only come every 45 minutes and get stuck in traffic. Except in New York and Chicago even the poorest person must own a at least a $1,000 very old used car to get to work. Americans are so dependent on cars as a consequence of bad urban planning that for many the idea of Transportation by a means other than car is literally inconceivable, it’s like trying to explain quantum physics to a dog

It’s america. If you didn’t have a car you couldn’t go anywhere. In many places this is literally true in all but a very select and completely unaffordable zip codes

That’s a great idea, I would almost suggest that as the default if only for one glaring problem, namely that employers will demand a bachelor’s degree to hire you. The reason why education is a focus has nothing to do with the actual education everything you do with the certification which is demanded for employment in good paying jobs. Everything else is Downstream of that. If it wasn’t for that 90% of students wouldn’t even go to the university anymore since you can just pirate textbooks.

Holy shit that’s bad. It makes me feel better about not finishing it it was already kind of bad when I went and got significantly worse since then. I’m not sure I’m missing out on lunch other than whatever healing my brused ego could get from a framed degree.

I definitely think the entire education system, K through 12 and University alike need to be fundamentally rebuilt but employers accepting it as qualification for a job is a necessary precondition. If the federal government were competent they could simply certify Alternatives as equivalent to high school diplomas and bachelor’s degrees enforced by heavy fines for violators with sting operations to catch them. Unfortunately that’s not going to happen so going to have to figure out the education to employment Dynamic some other way

I’d argue school has always been prisonlike but it’s gotten more overt. It’s a complete mess. The Game is rigged so hard that it’s not worth playing. I cannot in good faith tell a young person to focus on school work and getting into a good college because it didn’t work for me. If I was 14 again I’d coast through high school getting mostly Cs and learn stuff on own time. (Remember kids you gotta do Both, not just The former)

I lost that gamble. Life’s miserable

I think they’re losing the plot. Elon poisoning X means they’re living In an alternate reality

Everything in America just doesn’t work right. It’s either falling apart from lack of Maintenance or it’s corrupt

that tracks with election results and presidential approval ratings
