I mean it became clear that increasingly we will have as much information about the outside world, even within our own country as russians. This is refering to people living in the us. Anything coming from the administration is bs.

When was the last time you felt happy?

Jump

HubertManne @piefed.social 2h ago

I mean not the last time but as I look back over my life there is this point in time where my wife and I lived in the city in a neighborhood just out city center in a two flat. I worked at a research university and while the pay was low it had benefits and we could pay our monthly nut. It was 3 miles away and I could walk, bike, or take the bus. I would often walk in the morning and my wife would take the dog and there was this park about a mile or so away and we would have a little kiss goodbye and I would keep going to work while she walked the dog through the park and back home. We could spur of the moment grab food from close by places or any grocery item we wanted by walking. It was glorious. The lab I worked in was a research lab and interesting as heck on a day to day basis and collaborated globally. We had folks from japan practically every other summer doing research as well as many eurpean companies. Oh also my wife and I were barely in our thirties. it was sweet.

Interest on the $38.8 trillion national debt has tripled since 2020, and it already costs taxpayers more than defense and Medicaid

your treating running a business like its not a skill unto itself. people are better and worse at that. just look at the trust fund babies who burn down companies. its not a dream stealer to be rational about your own capabilities and what is most effective to do time vs result wise. building a successful business is way harder than all ludicrous options I gave. business is not this skill that is natural to the whole human population.

you hit the nail on the head. its not so easy and it takes a lot of time and much like a lot of things you need some talent in the area. I could go get phlubotomy training but I can't stand needles and blood. I mean its not quite as bad as just go get a phd but basically you have to realize the average person and even exceptional people have a limited set of options that fit their background, training, and general talents. Well why not just become a professional sports guy. They make lots. or go become a famous actor.

I was really confused with the hard magic thing. I thought it might be a fantasy series unconnected with the sci fi show.

that is so ridulous. taking time away from job searching to what. make youtube videos? yeah just go star a business that makes more than it costs to a level that its a long term option. or maybe just learn to code or any of the other inane offhand, low effort advice people like to give. I mean I assume your motivated from the best of intent but go start your own business is so. ugh.

you sound like me. I did well but I was single income with a sick wife so needed it. I to am picking up work as I can. I mean I have seen many more jobs I would want but nothing ultimately goes through. 3rd shift weekend in office falls through. I have put in for a variety of jobs outside my field that don't pay much and don't have many requirements and never hear back. Im not sure if they figure I will not hang around or if the whole age and long term unemployment are just too big of strikes. If I could have insurance without it sucking up time to maintain and did not cost me anything I could likely float us with pick up work but unfortunately filling out forms and calling offices and such along with interviews or such limits my ability to go full force on it.

I am out of work but old. I have savings that has gotten me by but it will run out. As incredibly bad and stupid as it would be I kinda hope trump does something to allow people to pull from retirement accounts before retirement without getting fees. Its the kind of relief he would do where it helps for the short term and completely fucks you for the long. When it comes to a roof over you head having it today is more useful than ten years from now. It will let some skate for awhile. Maybe I can get a 40 year mortgage.

What do you not like talking about?

Jump

HubertManne @piefed.social 20h ago

I kinda feel that way about like people just asking me how things are going because it feels like I have not been able to give a decent answer for long periods one of which I am in now. I will say I don't talk much about the environment anymore simply because we are so far down the unstoppable decline and partially because the effects are hitting our present day so much that the effects are basically day to day and much of the reason things are like they are now. We are a finite snake eating its tail.

The worst thing about opossums is having a wild animal that you can almost trip over. Their thing about staying completely still rather than running away.
