Thank you for posting that. I really needed to see that today.

Yep, I fixed the link, thanks!
I like most of SMBC but this is by far my favourite

I like this. Life isn’t easy though, none of them are. Spend my first life mastering trucking. Was absolutely done with it at the end, but there were fun times too. Went back to college at 33 to start my second life mastering programming. Now I’m about to finish my bachelor and really looking forward to starting a career. I’m convinced that this won’t be my last life, but I haven’t clue what my next life will look like.

I get it. But it isn’t comforting or paying the bills.
Because I’m cold in a homeless shelter.

Because…

Can relate.

Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 1 week ago
That’s a big step. What is your degree in?
polle@feddit.org 1 week ago
Bachelor in applied physics and the master is mechatronics.
hOrni@lemmy.world 1 week ago
That’s me right now, but I already have one master’s which I’m not using.

Because you choose one you cannot use or you did not like?

Me in the shower in my late 20’s watching all the remaining open doors to possibly achieve my dreams close right in front of my eyes 😭

Go to college. Take 1 class. Find a community. Find a different one. Or another different one. Find people you like who like you.

Go to college. Take 1 class.
I’m finishing my third degree this semester lol.
Find a community. Find a different one. Or another different one. Find people you like who like you.
Okay but first I need to get money to eat, sleep, exist, etc. without being harassed by the cops, because all resources are paywalled.

What are your dreams?

-
Record/produce/write music, particularly extreme metal. Already achieved some of it on last year. extremely small scale before I went to school for electrical engineering. But I really want to “go pro” and work with other people, build my own studio from the ground up, and bring some technical rigor to music production. For this, I really need independence more than money, because I don’t think I could find a job in engineering if an employer knew I had such a background, but money —> independence.
-
Design and build professional audio software and hardware with open source code and open hardware. To that end, I got a degree in electrical engineering and I am taking a digital signal processing class this semester, although I already taught myself all the mathematics and built an audio equalizer last semester based on that knowledge. I’ve already started learning the JUCE library, but I haven’t had the time lately to do stuff.
For the above two, more than straight-up money, I really need space to set up a studio, and free time to do it. I even have enough gear to get back into it once I get space. But to get space, I need money. I also need money to fabricate PCBs for the types of boards I want to build (lots of mixed-signal stuff that a breadboard could mess with).
-
Smash capitalism and the State. But IMO I don’t make for an effective mouthpiece. I feel I will be more useful paying bail bonds, giving comrades a place to crash/lay low, and providing monetary support for Food Not Bombs, Four Thieves Vinegar Collective, Anarchist Black Cross, etc., once I get a job.
-
Smash fossil fuels and contribute to renewable energy, preferably with an emphasis on distributed power generation. I can’t say too much without doxxing myself, but I’m doing some academic research into how renewables interact with the grid.
-
Learn as much math, physics, philosophy, and history as possible so I can “try stuff” easily. I’m currently a lot farther ahead on the first two.
