The trick is to read something that’s fictional and less dry. Fantasy would be an excellent choice. Sci Fi if you still enjoy things slightly more grounded in reality.

I tried Cane’s a few years back when it was just starting to open up in SoCal and I was underwhelmed. The fries were soggy, the chicken was okay and the bread was alright. I just couldn’t understand why there was a massive drive through line that rivals In n Out when there were so many better independent fried chicken restaurants around (Dave’s Hot Chicken, Howlin’ Ray’s, Jaxon’s Chicken, etc.).

It’s Facebook for corporate shills and people who pretend to be one when looking for a job.

Assuming nothing is done to curb the recent capitalist tendencies of universities to inflate tuition then yeah it would be mostly restricted to the wealthy. It might be possible that market forces would coerce them to become cheaper again in order to not end up getting shut down from lack of funding from lower enrollment though.

I’ll completely jump ship once SolidWorks can run on Linux. Wine is still a little iffy with it.

I hate to say it but there are simply so many subjects to cover in a single day that it’s hard to reinforce the lessons learned in class within the given amount of time in a school session. Maybe if schools were structured in a way in which fewer subjects were taught each day would the lessons stick better without the need of homework.

Recruiters keep asking me to apply and I must’ve told them to pound sand about 3 times in the past 2 years.

The janitor works for $8/hour out of desperation. The CEO works for $10k/hr out of greed. The difference in pay rates based on position should be regulated. I think a CEO should only be paid at most 10 times more than the lowest paid job in any organization. That way everyone will have some parity and a shot at a decent life even at the low end.

Easiest way to address this is to wear a metal Casio watch and have it touch anything metallic attached to a wall like door latch guides or maybe even coat hangers to dissipate any static electricity. Another choice is to grab the metal part of a key and tap them as well.

Someone who’s already cheating on a partner of their own. The relationship is likely to be a self fulfilling prophecy.

No. There hasn’t been any evidence to convince me of the existence of such an entity.

Aside from the popular ublock origin I’d get Sponsor Block. Too bad my mobile version doesn’t support it.

I’m the person who commented this. I took the train in LA for a long time since I want to stop using cars. My experiences there with the lack of security made me realize why hardly anyone takes it. My problem was with the smoking meth part. All I got for my trouble was someone accusing me of not really living there and a ban before I could explain myself.

I’ve alread apologized about the way I said it and tried to clarify yet all I get is more hate and people saying to let them smoke it in peace. Hardly anyone wants to have a real good faith dialogue and instead just reactively dunked on me for uttering the word “homeless” for someone who is clearly doing illegal things in public. If a single adjective is enough to be considered inflammatory then I’m worried we’ll ever be able to have civil discourse that goes beyond an echo chamber.

Yeah I wonder which word was used first.

In Mexican Spanish they’re known as “bombones”.

I really hope they don’t act out on blowing up satellites. Kessler Syndrome will ruin any hopes of future space habitation and exploration for generations to come.

We can all do our part by not buying anything from those who do this.

To not have to work another day in my life. Sure I could say to be excessively wealthy but I’m happy with satisfying basic needs and living in my simple home. All I want is to be able to wake up every day without the crushing burden of having to keep a job that keeps the spectre of starvation and homelessness away for another few days.

I can’t say I’ve read all his content but Little Brother and Homeland are good examples of how technology can help aid in fascism. Sure it’s a little over the top but it made me more aware of how corporations can be used to overstep our rights and privacy. You’re free to hate on him all you want but the truth is he’s actually doing something to push back and make us all aware instead of just saying to just be okay with it.

Please don’t do this! Rich people love living in obscurity, it keeps attention and anger from their stupid decisions away from them and on to some scapegoat. This is like the opposite of the Streisand Effect and will only serve their interests. I know it’s annoying to keep seeing the same billionaires in the headlines but the alternative is to be passive about their awful projects and the harm they’re doing to the world. You’ll only be doing them a favor with this addon.
