I bet the IOPS for this is abysmally low.
Seeing more of your responses, it is clear you spend too much time online in anti-capitalist groups and expect people to just magically accomplish your ideals.
Good luck to you and your bitterness. The rest of us have actual lives to live and bills to pay. It’s not as binary as you see it.
I needed to live and pay bills and take care of a family. I tried to write it in a sensitive way and it still wasn’t good enough for your entitled, priviliged, and judgmental stance.
Some of us literally have no ability to just entertain “adventure.” We needed to just survive. And I was simply stating that I think some people need to be a bit more willing to make hard choices to better their lives, such as moving where their particular jobs are more likely to be.
It has nothing to do with licking boot. It has to do with reality and survival. But a secondary benefit was that I found joy in my career and what I do since it’s a public service type of career as well. I also became a productive member of society and can now help others a bit in various ways.
I’ll also add that while the goal at the time was not to do anything I wanted, but to do what I needed, I wound up in a degree and field that is still interesting (I didnt study what I wanted, I studied what I thought might pay well and which I was good at). Moving for jobs was significant to changing my life and giving some new perspective and adventure in the simple sense that I got away from where I grew up and saw a different place and have met and worked with tons of great people from all over the world who also moved here. It was not my original purpose, and it’s not the same as travel for adventure or leisure which was not something I could ever entertain for the majority of my life, but it has in a way given me adventure I wasn’t seeking.
I will also note the original move for a job itself was never simple. We literally slept on floors for the first few weeks.
I don’t regret any of it. Our lives are immensely better today for making hard but smart moves for the better. Others should also do the same if they have options to better their lives.
But getting more sex coverage on news media is good, I like that.
“… and she added that it was pretty good, but she wishes he’d have spent a bit more time warming her up first. Back to the studio.”
“Wow. Excellent report, Kelly. Fascinating sex life Jill and Bob have. More at 11.”

callouscomic@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If Christians were real, they’d be lining up to pay for their sins (not trying to avoid judgement).English53·7 days agoYep. It became clear to me through difficult times and turmoil that my parents switch to Christianity during my childhood was their way to find excuses to never have to change or answer to others.
It’s a convenient way to remain narcissist and pretend you’re improving as a person.
My dad made it very clear he only needs to answer to “god” and nobody else.
Cool. Drop dead, dad.
Everyone’s experience is different, and things ARE absolutely more difficult in recent decades than many decades ago.
That said, I remember around the time I was graduating and how it felt like the vast majority of everyone I knew was baffled by my willingness to move far away (for the job), and how many of them refused to move away from home (where there weren’t many job options for degrees).
There’s also choices to make to do projects or a thesis around real productive ideas to build something to show off to employers. There’s opportunities to practice interviewing, shadow careers, and make yourself presentable and stand out for your field, and again I just remember very few who actually put in the effort and wanted to appear well-rounded amd with a portfolio of sorts to distinguish themselves. Most of my classmates seemed to just want to check boxes and expect a career to happen.
Some people in my personal experience seem unwilling to do what’s necessary to make their degree worthwhile.
Yeah you may be able to get [insert degree] at [random local college], but a lot of the good careers are not going to be where you got the degree, amd you really have to find ways to convince employers why you’re different.
Then on top of all of that, there’s just some luck as well. And I know in some ways I also just got lucky in landing a job.
Meanwhile, ever since I moved and started a career, I have been surrounded by incredible degree-wielding people from all over the world. So clearly lots of people do find success and they are doing great jobs.
I played this on Steam Deck last year. Great game for its time.
callouscomic@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the worst streaming platform and why?English5·12 days agoAny of them with a completely unnecessary boot up noise. Especially when you forget download you left things, it can scare the crap out of people. And no options to disable it. Fuck these companies.
I think Diseny is the only major one that doesn’t do that shit.
Don’t you mean “to become an accessory to cultural theft and appropriation”? High likelihood it’s Britain you’re off to.

Batman has likely killed hundreds from internal bleeding.
Pro tip, if your sentence ever begins with “am I the only one…” then just stop and completely reconsider how you want to present the point you want to make. Just make the point. Lose the fluff.
You aren’t the only one. Nobody is ever the only one.

I played a lot of Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo on PS4, and while it’s got quite a few drawbacks, I had a lot of fun still. It was most painful trying to use a wheel and get the settings right, but with controller amd easier settings, it wasn’t bad.
That’s Ki -Adi-Mundi you uncultured pointy-eared Bantha! He could get more tail than Aragorn any day. Aragorn WISHES he could get half as many wives.

FYI, he’s a Nascar driver now.
So odd.
Also it’s “a whole other” and NOT “a whole nother”
