I would always suggest joining the IBEW and becoming an electrician. You can start with no experience and get trained up over a few years for a career that will pay at or near 6 figures.

All while providing health insurance and retirement.

I wish. She is leaving anyway so maybe a future partner will come with more kids.

I’m not undoing my vasectomy at this point.

2 critters, would have had more but the wife was done, and now I am neutered.

Picked for beach volleyball?

IDK what stats you’re referencing but getting a date is possible.

First off you have to ditch the misogyny, most women can smell that miles away and will flag it with their friends and community.

Second, no one owes you anything, relationships take effort and investment from both parties. This means listening, actually carrying and investing time in your partner.

None of this happens until you leave to the house and do something. Join a rec League, play boardgames at game room, do trivia nights, sing karaoke.

Tldr if you want to meet women, you have to go out and meet women and you have to not be a misogynist patriarchal smelly s***.

its a marketing and sales tactic to keep people from thinking about the actual value of something. They will say mentally “at least its not over $40” or things like that.

It also allows for marketers to post a price lower than the neighbor even if that difference is only or less than a single cent.

Gas for 3.99⁹⁹ looks like a lower price than gas for 4.00⁹⁹ So even though the price is almost the same, the store advertising $3 gas will win over the store advertising $4 gas.

The greater good!

Not totally, but if they ask for an answer or ask AI to do something for them so they dont have to think im suspect.

I think AI can be useful, I use it to help me edit and proof my writing, but I specifically wont let it rewrite my words. I will let it make suggestions for clarity and grammar but thats the limit.

I will use AI to generate a meme level image, but im not going to use it for a presentation or as part of something that would have been a paid element.

I have played with using it to help me prototype some software, but I still read all the code, and I still take the time to understand what its writing.

AI replacing your own thoughts is bad, AI helping you refine and extend your thoughts is mostly ok.

IDK last time I buried a body my friend brought over his backhoe so we could make quick work of it.

Lots of people would exit the traditional job market, millions would start small private business. Pay would go up both because of the healthcare savings to companies and because people would stop working shit jobs for shit pay just to keep health insurance.

It might also lead to a massive recession as for profit healthcare providers and services last l lay off workers and go bankrupt.

So mixed bag probably good overall for workers, very bad for capitalists. But there would be a massive labor disruption and lots of people would be on the losing side initially.

I would support a transitional system where every say 5 years we lower the age for Medicare access so we gradually ween off the old system and the healthiest most profitable pool stays in the old system the longest.

It still screws over the next generation which I don’t love or think it’s fair but the ACA created a system so entrenched I don’t think there is a way to roll it back without causing pain.

No he is an opportunist mouthpiece willing to say nearly anything for money.

I tried looking around my library and only found one Lem book but I am sure I have more… So I will keep looking.

I have 2 kids so, vomit, poop, blood, mucus, and even breast milk.

Solaris, the new version is decent but it’s a totally different movie and just can’t do the original justice.

Second place for me is girl with the dragon tattoo. The original is just better.

Getting licensed as an electrician.

Nearly any executive assistant is a fixer. Fixers are masters of figuring it out and using connections to make things happen.

Somewhere along the way we stopped holding them accountable.

It probably started with the Nixon pardon and then continued with Reagan who should have actually been held accountable for his treason with the Iran Contra scandals.

It’s just been downhill since and Trump has taken it to a whole new level of corruption and was crimes.

I would love to see Obama held accountable for his drone policies, Biden for is support of genocide, Trump for everything, W. For his war crimes.

Should probably post this in /askMormons.

I probably have and just dont remember all the details.

You still have not said anything about an alternative to Platner, or how you benefit from taking him down. Whats is all this effort for other than to help out Collins, Schumer, Trump, Bibi, or Putin?

Who are those, and would they have a chance at winning and using power if they did in the United States?
