  Those elite 1% students who pursued this life got precisely what they went after. It’s too late to cry, you sold your soul for that giant paycheck and now you have to suffer it. You’d have done better working for a non-profit and at least believed that you were making the world a better place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work, work ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I had some idiot ask me that question when the answer was fairly obviously that I was in school. Didn’t even take the time to understand my resume.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could I just create my own drive format?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People have and do, but the effort is ridiculous and requires some very high-level computer science or computer engineering skills.

  Barb?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy is really full of angry people recently who are projecting their problems onto others. It’s very odd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They obviously feel quite confident about their cause.

  The real question is whether they have the momentum to keep it going. Even the MAGA types are getting tired of the impacts these decisions have on their lives. Yes, a group of bros got in power and took over, but they are falling fairly flat at each attempt. In the end, most of what they have done is symbolic. We will get back to some sense of normalcy soon enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I mean that river should have naturally moved to the other side of Louisiana like 75 years ago. Now the entire state is sinking since it’s not getting its normal fill of sediment. Good ol’ Congress deciding that stuff has to go through New Orleans instead of Lafayette because of reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socially inept, introverted employees. How do you survive the workplace? Because I’m in dire need of some serious advice.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly you’re fairly rude and defensive towards the comments here. People are genuinely taking time from their lives to help you, but you have an answer to everything. Very occasionally this statement is true:

  If every person you see is an asshole, maybe it’s you who is the asshole.

  This is a moment in your life when you can learn and grow. You still have a job. Take the opportunity and do better in the new role. A therapist would likely be very helpful here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who hurt you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference is now there are countries who have their shit together and will happily let the US become irrelevant.

  lol you’re all kinds of toxic. Have a block

  You should always jagger the belt on unless you are standing up for some reason. This story is exactly why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In New York City, Drivers Who Run Red Lights Get Tickets. E-Bike Riders Get Court Dates.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL stop being insecure. It’s easier to just be comfortable with others doing their own thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In New York City, Drivers Who Run Red Lights Get Tickets. E-Bike Riders Get Court Dates.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve put your disorder right on display for all to see. Shame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stanford Professor: The idea that Stanford University owes its graduate students a "living wage" is preposterous⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You and I are the only people in this thread with actual experience at a university. The rest are just looking for places to project their anger and general malaise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stanford Professor: The idea that Stanford University owes its graduate students a "living wage" is preposterous⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lol elite. Most students are just surviving

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stanford Professor: The idea that Stanford University owes its graduate students a "living wage" is preposterous⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Billions of your tax dollars already go there to fund research. That is how universities work, public or private.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stanford Professor: The idea that Stanford University owes its graduate students a "living wage" is preposterous⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you may be taking this wrong. The problem is that universities are severely underfunded and always have been. They simply don’t have the money to pay a living wage to grad students. When forced to do so, some universities have simply dissolved student positions as a response.

  The problem isn’t the university or this professor. The problem is why we aren’t funding these better so that they can pay a reasonable wage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don’t see articles like this about moms with three two jobs who still manage to take care of their kids.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse: they don’t point out how unhealthy it is to live this way and what terrible family life he must have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See their point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m the same. I never really cared for pop music and really focus on older Jazz, cultural/folk/world, and classical music.

  Sometimes I can get a moment of nostalgia hearing music from high school, but I wasn’t so much into it at the time and I am also not convinced that all of us has aged well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See their point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My musical tastes have changed dramatically through my life. I think that if you are still listening to the same thing as when you were 14 and now you’re 40, you’re probably lacking curiosity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are people criticizing it? There is a certain critical mass that when something becomes popular enough a subset of the population will automatically oppose it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Missouri governor repeals paid sick leave law approved last year by voters⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the same shit everywhere. You get to choose where you deal with it. If you’re in the right spot it’s much easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Financially rewarding and you will always have a job⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost as if the real problem is opportunity. Hmm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can only bring back one. Which do you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Radio shack for sure. Has anything electronic or computer related you need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even conservatives use to boast the virtue of achieving higher education. In MAGA times what is the pathway to success?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The MAGA types used to talk about an education when it was a way to insult people who make the minimum wage and make it their fault that they were underpaid. They didn’t actually want peoples’ lives to be better, but rather to find a way to look down on entire classes of humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's No Waffle House in California⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not just CA. The closest one to the west coast is in Arizona. Most are in the south with some extending into the Midwest or up the east coast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in the day, you scanned the disk. Folder by folder, file by file. If what you were looking for appeared early in your search, you were golden. It turns out, though, that scanning a filesystem is computationally very complex and takes a long time. Not something you might notice so much on a PC, but something that you would notice on a server. So, instead, you want to index the disk, slowly and over time, and then you search against the index. This works well in a server, but no so much on a workstation. Well there’s really no difference between Windows 11 and Windows Server 2024 except for some fine tuning of resource allocation. Essentially, you get the very (for desktops) ineffective server version.
