We have free transit in Albuquerque. It's basically turned into a rolling homeless shelter. They hired security to manage it. My dad was one of those. He was attacked by someone using drugs on the bus and had the back of his hand bit off in a brutal attack. The busses here are VERY dangerous and I'd never step foot on one again.

I do the notes thing and when I'm done talking to them I refer to my notes and think of their face, that solidifies it for me pretty good.

YES... the way people talk to each other on Reddit is disheartening. I found that if I didn't phrase things EXACTLY in the same tone/manner that was the general "reddit tone/manner" it was an argument and downvotes. If I had any opinion that was ever so slightly different from the popular opinion it wasn an argument and downvotes. It became impossible to have authentic conversations in many of the subs

Fine then I don't have to pay taxes anymore.

Sales have fallen 59% in a year..... Musk took over 9 months ago.... weird coincidence.

I'm in my mid-40s and I didn't go to college -- I was one of the last generations where you didn't HAVE HAVE HAVE to have an advanced degree to qualify for something like an admin assistant position.

I truly hope that the younger generations take this as an opportunity to stand up for themselves and stop feeding into the notion that everyone needs advanced degrees. It's absurd. If no one has a degree, then they can't demand that people have degrees. Degrees should be for engineers, doctors, people with advanced careers. Past that, it's simply a money making scheme for colleges and a bullshit bill of goods that they're selling to people who cant, and shouldn't have to, pay for it.

Walking away and not looking back is actually very powerful.

I wish I could believe that anything he did would lose him his supporters but he was right. He could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single one. I wish I knew what power he held over them.

I mean seriously... We don't have ANY better and more qualified candidates in our 331.9 million citizens? Really?

I've been 100% remote since 2017. I don't even know if I could function in a traditional office again. Too many distractions

Thank you for this, I love that you're working to make this a better place and being all inclusive in the process. Y'all are awesome!

Side note, life has been so much better in my feed since defederating from the instances that were becoming furry/gonewild heavy. Thank you for your diligence.

 

Has anyone watched this yet? Wanting to hear people's opinions

 

Really wanted to see if there's a thread about a docuseries I just watched to see what other people thought... Is there a way to find active threads about it or is it better to make my own?
