- Comment on Nuclear energy enjoyers vindicated again after the rise in oil and gas prices. 1 day ago:
Nuclear is the lesser evil. Even my former boss who is an environmental scientist agree we should still maintain nuclear power plants, but only as stop gap before renewable energy becomes more ubiquitous.

This is why I love videogames instead.

Kinda like they refuse to admit we all came from Africa and and thus our ancestors are black.

The Battlefield series are the only games I played from EA. I stopped after 4.
- Comment on EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN 3 days ago:
I think at this stage it’s children who are easily impressionable and using their parent’s credit cards to buy EA games, is the company’s customer base. EA hasn’t produced a good game for a long awhile. Battlefield games had been the only games I played much before 2020, but since then I stopped caring about EA.

I never heard of Buccees before but YouTuber Joe Scott hyped it up. But he’s Texan so of course he’s proud.

I’m OOL, what about furries and decentralised online communities?

Why did the person do that? I’m sure there is a reason for it so I try not to judge.
- Comment on he forgor 2 weeks ago:
You need the basic technical knowledge, but most of it won’t apply in the working world. People cut corners just enough that they won’t get into trouble. Although, depending where you are, open and flagrant corruption is normal.
- Comment on What's "email"? 2 weeks ago:
Yup. If we’re going to romanticise non-modern life, we should probably look to the hunter gatherer San people of South Africa. They are considered one of the most peaceful cultures and hardly had any previous records of conflict (except in the 1970s and '80s but that’s a long story).

If you can’t talk to them, beat them.
- Comment on halal paintball 4 weeks ago:
It reminds me of Northern Europeans stereotyping Southern Europeans as lazy. But Northern European don’t realise it is mainly because Southern Europe is very hot to work for longer hours. The Southern European “siesta” of course carried over to Spanish and Portuguese colonies. Before Cuba gained independence from Spain, they only work three hours a day, and this happened only about one hundred years ago.
- Comment on Im curious what they will come up with 5 weeks ago:
As far as I can tell, they are genuinely good folks. After taking ownership of Casa Bonita, during the renovation period that followed, they said that they will pay the existing employees, but only if those employees do charity work while the place is being renovated. Mat and Trey make money but they don’t seem hungry for more. They also renewed a deal with Paramount; but when CBS tried to cancel Colbert so that the duo’s parent company, Skydance, will have the Trump admin approve the merger with CBS, Mat and Trey unabashedly criticised their company without fear of cancellation and despite having just signed a renewed contract. They were not punished nonetheless and if even if there are, they will stick to their guns.

What’s keeping Tesla stocks afloat are the cult retail investors who believe Elon is a god who could do no wrong.

That’s what I said basically. US is doing its own digital imperialism. The difference is that the US government outsourced the Orwellian surveillance to techbros.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Just because US is going on temper tantrum it doesn’t mean people have to forget that China is doing its own Orwellian surveillance.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
It’s bit of both. I still wouldn’t trust Chinese tech. Huawei tech is involved in surveiling the African Union headquarters.. This not to minimise US’ own corruption and digital imperialism, although I think the EU is in the right step to use open source software to replace American tech.

Funny enough, despite the ugly aesthetics, there is a great sense of community in social housing.

And these same people who are MGTOW, or “men going their own way”, are obsessed talking shit about women.
- Comment on Solid Plan 🧓 1 month ago:
Literally what happened to our grandparents and parents after World War 2. And then the subsequent generation will grow up in abundant wealth, developing a greedy attitude and cause corruption, resulting in social angst which will be exploited by demagogues. Then a new system emerges which promises a better life, but that system breeds yet another spoiled generation that will cause corruption which yet again causes social upheaval that will be exploited by ambitious individuals.
Rinse and repeat.

- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 2 months ago:
The majority of Polish kids in my old school are unbelievably good with computers. My friend’s dad is also a self-taught electronic and IT specialist.
Now, I am really curious as to why so many Poles are tech wiz. I know GOG’s DRM-free philosophy is influenced by communism, but I can’t see how communism influenced many Poles to be good with IT as well.
- Comment on Add a third, larger bar for "knowing the right people" skills 2 months ago:
90% of the time in interviews is showing enthusiasm, energy, being sycophantic, and most of all-- showing examples of having applied soft skills^1^. The remaining 10% is showing technical know how.
- That being said, here’s a Life Pro Tip: make personal notes of personal achievements at work, or outside examples in your volunteering, school work or social clubs if you are just starting in your career and/or have no previous work experience. It does not have to be dramatic, but let’s say you are a good mentor, help friends and colleagues with tasks to finish the entire job effectively, or saw defects in product and did not pass it despite potential delays, etc. From my experience, most people neglect soft skills. Any organisations are still team-based and human-facing because you work in a team, so it’s good to develop personable and soft skills. And I got flak on Lemmy here before because many users here are introverts (a lot tend to be IT workers), but unless we finally get UBI, even in the sector full of introverts, that’s just the reality and a person has to suck up with interacting with others to get a job.
