- Comment on How do I actually find a job that isn't retail? 1 week ago:
I can’t really speak for today, because I know things are way different than they were before when I got out of retail
But I can tell you what worked for me and maybe you can apply something from it to your own situation
Save up enough money and buy your own tools, for me that was a $200 in 2013 computer. Sounds cheap today but it was a very tough purchase to make at the time without help and with bills to pay. Learn something that can be applied elsewhere using ‘free’ resources (r/piracy, FMHY, and your local Library would be the equivalent today). For me that was learning to use Linux, CAD and other modeling software in ways traditionally educated people at the time did not leverage them, and that edge got my foot in the door
Oh, and before you get your hopes up on the regular sleep schedule bit, I spent the past +decade swapping between nights and days every single week after getting out of retail. Now there’s also a baby in the picture and we won’t afford child care so sleep is a pipe dream. Maybe 2-4 hours a day if I’m lucky. Been that way for over a year now
Retrospectively my schedule then of 4-10:30 on week days so I could go to school and 5am-2pm weekends to get enough hours to pay the bills was amazing. Pay sucked though. So did them playing with my hours to keep me part time without full time benefits.

The mirror in the picture is showing a round mirror in the reflection, the mirror in the meme is rectangular so its not the meme girl or mirror being portayed, but something out of sight of the lensbox
- Comment on Why don;t most of us Americans only need like one foreign language to pass high school? Why not make it mandatory for like 3 or 4 languages?Would that not give us the upper hand when traveling? 3 weeks ago:
You really are asking too much here
We need to get math, geography, literature, history, writing, personal finance, and driving training working again first
Want to know what my drivers ed consisted of?
Not cars, no
A signature of consent and having me/my class to view unredacted images and video of a girl who some of the people in that room personally knew from that very highschool who didn’t wear a seatbelt screaming with her face having been peeled off having passed through the windshield, and similar gory aftermath images
Thats the educational bar of competence we’re competing with here at least nearly two decades ago. You think it’s gotten better or worse since then?
- Comment on If you're fond of restoring 30-year-old PCs, but then you see some old PC parts being obliterated by scrappers just to get small pitiful pinches of gold. 3 weeks ago:
Go look up what happens to wannabe prospectors operating without license, at least in the USoA
Heck even the videos of gold/gem/geode prospectors I’ve watched make odd offhand comments about sicking police on tresspassers
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 4 weeks ago:
Make a privacy. Com account
Change all of your card info to one of theirs for 3 months
Cancel
The card
Or just tell your bank to blacklist them and leave it at that
You’ll be taking a credit hit either way
File a complaint with your state’s attorney general and theyll handle it beyond that point when they get to you
- Comment on How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times? 2 months ago:
Like books
Buy them from pawn shops or libraries during booksales
They’re immutable and work without electricity or internet
