I have a friend whose wife is a nurse and she decided to work as a “travel nurse” because it was stupid not to–the pay was at least double her current pay, plus she was given a stipend for room/board/travel expenses. It was a fantastic deal for her and allowed them to save a bunch of money for a while.

What will she be doing 2 months from now? Rolling in the $ while you get mad that someone figured out a way to make an easier living? Lol
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 2 weeks ago:
If you really believe that a person that makes 1M on OF “deserves” that money and did “hard work” then I don’t really think there’s anything we can discuss.
Someone sounds a little jelly. Seriously though, there are all kinds of people making way more money than that without doing a damn thing to justify a penny of it. The Internet allows niche means of making money simply because you can “sell” your products to thousands or even millions of people–in this case directly from the comfort of her home. There are plenty of other schemes out there that can be similarly lucrative if you’re good at what they want you to do.
Clearly this woman is quite smart to be in that field in the first place, why wouldn’t she take the more lucrative route? Wouldn’t you?
- Comment on Should I get a drum kit, or a pressure washer? 2 weeks ago:
It’s the boring truth–without getting the rudiments and stick control and proper technique, the drum set is not gonna make you a good drummer. It’s fun as hell to have one to play, no doubt–but if the goal is to be a good drummer you really gotta focus on the basics first.
- Comment on Anon discovers Japanese jazz 2 weeks ago:
I ran into a live performance they did in 1985 the other day while i was doing yard work. It was really good, they’re all phenomenal musicians. The crowd response was nutty, it was cool to see/hear that many people loving the hell out of the music and the band.

- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 3 weeks ago:
It’s funny to me that loading times are still the Achilles heel after all these years. Don’t get me wrong–it makes sense. Games getting more graphically intense, larger worlds, online play etc, it all adds up. I always just thought that we’d finally see loading times become at least significantly shorter by now–and in scale with the size of the games, they likely have. I guess some things are simply as optimized as they’re gonna get, can’t just expect magic to happen and make that much computation instantly doable.

More on this splendid human being:
In now deleted tweets from 2015, it’s clear Rep. Maddox has always held racist beliefs. In an October 2015 tweet, Maddox responded to someone calling President Barack Obama a “coon” by saying that “Obama is not black. He is of African ancestry, not sharing the Black American heritage or experience.”
In a March 2015 tweet, Maddox said that “childhood sexual assault and neglect” was the reason for homosexuality and that she blamed the parents and LGBTQ people for their sexual preferences.
In a January 2015 tweet she claimed Islam is a “faith about destruction” and that there are no Islamic “hospitals, orphanages or universities.”
She’s a genuine shit-person. 100% real human excrement propped up with modern technology to walk and talk sorta like a real human being!

find a “carinderia” (or karinderya, depending on region) which roughly translates to “cafeteria” but is usually run by a sweet lady making as close as you’ll get to homemade cooking.
This sounds awesome! Wish we had places like this in the States

Looking at the bright side:
-no more vaccines (never liked needles anyway) -no more fluoride in the water (who likes nice teeth anyway, plus you can get fakes installed) -never need to vote for president again (think about how much time that’ll save) -no jan 6th revolt in 2025 (maybe they will just for fun though, who knows) -perhaps Trump can fill the remaining seats of the supreme court and get a properly conservative suite of justices -Elon Musk will be our super-cool tech daddy

Billionaires own the way most people in the US (the world too) consume their news.
Fox News has been the most-watched news station in the USA for 22 years, trailed distantly by MSNBC and CNN. I very much agree this is the main reason. They’ve been crafting narratives that speak directly to conservatives fears, and kept in a constant state of panic/hate so that they will vote squarely against their own interests when they elect the guy Fox tells them will solve their problems.

Especially with the knowledge of how little regard many of our fellow citizens actually have for others health and well-being. I don’t know how eager i am to return to a society that can’t even agree on diseases being a bad thing.
Totally agree about the empty gestures too, which really stood as a reminder of how little respect they actually get especially considering how much they risk for everyone else’s sake
- Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit? 5 months ago:
I realize I’m a bit late to the conversation, just wanted to say i agree with your sentiments.
I kinda felt that the whole tech world was a little better when it had a certain gatekeeping element, in that you had to know how to operate a computer to at least some degree to do anything with the Internet. While that does reduce the amount of potential users dramatically in its own right, it also cuts down on the signal-to-noise ratio similarly. Giving everyone phones didn’t necessarily make the Internet a better place, imo. But it also has given a voice to many who never would have had one (for better or worse, as well)…
Not every place needs an enormous user base to make it worthwhile or enjoyable. Too many comments def leaves you feeling like you don’t have a voice, but i guess too few and you wonder if anyone’s listening…
