The average Linux evangelist on Lemmy vastly overestimates the tech-saviness of the average person.
- Comment on 10 Careers Once Considered Stable Are Now Seeing Major Layoffs (Latest Data) 1 week ago:
Construction, manufacturing, and other related industries are already experiencing rapidly slowing demand. Tarrifs and the Iran war made a huge dent there. As soon as the “big shot” investors finally realize that they’re going to get nothing more from the AI craze, they’re going to bail and the collapse will be fast and furious.

healthcare
Lots of rural healthcare systems in the US have been circling the drain for years at this point so YMMV.

I once cut down a dead tree, not knowing that it contained a bees nest. They chased me until I jumped into a nearby creek. That was not fun.

I’ve served on the board of non-profit daycares and I [vaguely] know at least one person who actually owns a for profit daycare.
Only a complete idiot would think they were going to make any money on a daycare. The overhead is nuts – even when paying really shitty compensation – and the competition is relentless.

You joke, but some gullible idiot will buy that.
I know people who get their phone service through “PureTalk” to escape the “liberals at AT&T”. I’m still not sure which is the greater irony: the fact that AT&T is an extremely conservative stick in the mud Corpo of the fact that PureTalk is an MVNO whose network is provided by – wait for it – AT&T

Now hold on on a minute. Are you seriously trying to tell me repeatedly prompting an AI agent with, “That person is supposed to have FIVE fingers. Not four. Not six. Five. People have FIVE fingers. What the hell is wrong with you!?” doesnt constitute “effort”??

- Comment on 6 in 10 workers say they have a toxic boss, study finds 1 month ago:
The average corporate environment essentially rewards anti-social behavior. The people who get promoted into “leadership” are rarely the best ones for the job.
They’re often people who ruthlessly pursue power at any cost or “yes men/women” who excel only at ass kissing. Those two types often go hand in hand and they are both highly destructive in their own ways.
Generally speaking, the corporate world is motivated only by greed and does not value good leadership. Companies with good leadership are not able to sustain severely overinflated stock prices.

Harmonia axyridis AKA “Asian Beetle”. Native to Southeast Asia. Artificially introduced to the US for aphid population control, which they allegedly do very well.
And that is their single redeeming quality. Other than that, they are an incredibly annoying pest. I remember being a kid, when they really started to take off in the Midwest, and having to vacuum up thousands of them out of, well, everywhere. I quickly learned that if you used a vacuum cleaner where the dirt gets drawn through the impeller, they would die instantly and that would lessen the awful smell.
We had this antique Hamilton Beach hand vacuum with a large bag on it that was perfect for the job. The distinctive “ping” sound of those little bastards getting obliterated by the cast aluminum death machine was sweet revenge.

On one hand, it’s better to be alone than to be with someone who makes you wish you were alone. I learned this the hard way.
On the other hand, to have companionship is wonderful. I was almost 30 before I met the love of my life. She is a VERY quiet person. To the point where it was a little unnerving at first. One day, for some reason, she mustered the courage to ask me out on a date. I didn’t know how big a deal that was for her at the time. But I know from experience that dudes don’t get asked out often and I was impressed. That was almost 10 years ago.
She’s learned how to open up a lot more. She’s still quiet, quieter than me anyway, but she can also be a lot of fun. More importantly, she’s a good and honorable person, a good mom, and great wife. She’s my best friend and I’m grateful that I get to share my life with her.
