ilnow multiple people personally (4 atm) with some variation of a 4 year bio degree from a respectable program
none of them work in their field
most one was making was like 35k a year in a lab with a directly relevant degree

everything not related to some grift (ai or ai adjacent, ice etc) or dod/dow or exploiting healthcare seems to be in a slump right now in America
i wonder why, is it the stupid high fuel input costs or the fact non billionaires are so broke most spending is only immediately essential, or that no one wants to buy American goods post tariff and cutting all quality assurance post dodge fucker
- Comment on Costly Disappointment 💸 1 week ago:
so what you do is research what jobs are needed in your area and do a degree in that
you have to keep up on this sadly all 4 years
and even then you need to be willing to move and should probably take a generally applicable field like engineering
all of this really requires some kind of support group at the age of 17/18
beyond that you have to actually focus on learning the material at the oversped rate likely to the exclusion of anything remotely fun
that said there are multiple job openings for system engineers starting post 4 year degree about 100k

cool, thank you for the replies

same idea, oblique carnivores have special teeth
either way the counter argument to my thought was weasels and would work for eye location as well
- Comment on Wait, you mean workers *don't* love the automatic dumbass machines that constantly threaten their jobs? 2 weeks ago:
the problem with ai isn’t the concept, wikipedia is great
the problem is it is not deterministic, often factually wrong and being used by the rich to still workers pay
- Comment on Bunnies are metal 2 weeks ago:
i get the point you are making, and i concede it
but i was specifically thinking mammal given the context and for which teeth would make it obvious
even the smaller ones, cats in natural habitats come to mind are apex, and i remember learning the avoidance of eating them had to do with parasite avoidance when other food was available
I did not realize weasels were obligate carnivores and bats were a great example as well
- Comment on Bunnies are metal 2 weeks ago:
aren’t most obligate carnivores not directly eaten often?
- Comment on Bunnies are metal 2 weeks ago:
teeth would tell you it’s prey

ACAB for a reason so just no
you don’t get head pats for basic decency, especially towards a white woman

it is particularly male though because studies show older men don’t have friends

who’d actually choose to roll the dice?
there is nothing glorious about suffering and the human condition being what it is means very few will end with a charmed life
vastly more of existence has been and will be without me existing, I think i’d been fine skipping it entirely
- Comment on Anon reads nihilist philosophy 3 weeks ago:
An acorn can only become an oak tree but a person is not born with their future path preordained
modern people love thinking this but most people never move even 50 miles from where they were born and the single largest indictor of ‘success’ in life is your parents income
for example being born in gaza or ukraine right now is pretty damn bleak
- Comment on Anon reads nihilist philosophy 3 weeks ago:
Okay, so it is possible to find inherent meaning in lives you did not create. Yay!
except predication of choice makes it literally not inherent
neither does potential imply inherent either
it’s trivial to imagine simple real world examples that would make any positive aspect of living rather insufficient to the point where dying young and unexpectedly is almost a blessing among alternatives
if aggressive cancer, long lasting stroke or alzheimer’s is in my future let me die sooner in my sleep
to say nothing of famine, massive drought and war
if i knew i’d live to experience alzheimer’s let me never be born
- Comment on Anon reads nihilist philosophy 3 weeks ago:
choosing to take on the responsibility is the same imo
biological kid or not once you bring it home it’s then the same, feeling this for random strangers would be odd
acknowledging that a optional life would be skipped kinda is my point
- Comment on Anon reads nihilist philosophy 3 weeks ago:
only while the kids exist as you forced them into existence thereby incurring the responsibility
for a thought experiment, imagine you could see your entire life and decide to be born or not based in your mind at the point of death
what would be the point of living a ‘bad’ life?
