  • It's both stupid expensive and the jobs don't pay enough anymore. I can make the same salary as an engineer working a trade or any other white collar job.

    I'm sure the growing distrust in science and general stupidity didn't help either.

  • The lack of empathy I see here disappoints me. Comments like these are similar to Europeans telling Americans to throw their lives away and rebel against their government, or "just emmigrate" like it's really as easy as hopping on a plane.

    These Russians could have been conscripted, they might've enlisted to feed their starving families, or they might fully support the war effort because they're young and brainwashed by state propaganda. They're all victims of this shitty war in their own way.

    War sucks. There are zero winners. I'm not at all sympathetic to Russia's cause and wish they'd leave Ukraine alone, so I understand the desire to hate Russians and to cheer at the death of every Russian soldier. I just wish people practiced nuance here and didn't give into the hate so much.

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    What file explorer does qBittorrent use? (Debian/KDE)

  • I figure the ads are just cached from earlier. I took this picture a few hours after I finished setting up my pfBlockerNG feeds and changing my DNS to AdGuard's public one.

    If nothing else, this ad certainly reaffirmed my decision to update our network.

  • Yeah I guess the superbowl is soon, there's another row of football ads one or two rows up. I'll remind myself that I paid for the TV, the electricity to run it, and the bandwidth to connect it, yet I'm still shown full screen ads first thing when I turn my TV on. And I don't even watch football. And I can't disable it.

    Corporate America and gargle my balls

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    The home page of my $1700 smart TV has a full page ad about watching ads

  • I transferred to a new college and learned the first week of class that they required a few vaccinations I was missing. No problem, the on campus health center can provide them. I confirm with them that they accept my insurance, so I go get the shots.

    A few months later, I get a bill in the mail for over $3000. Apparently the health center wasn't in-network, so I have no idea what they meant by "we accept your insurance." I layer learned that if I had driven 10 minutes west across the state border, there was an in-network office where those two vaccinations would've been completely covered.

    I still haven't paid a penny towards that bill, fuck them. I get daily phone calls from an unknown number, it's probably collections, but I don't know for sure since I never answer it. This was years ago and my credit score never took a hit. I'd rather die than reward these parasites with my money.

    I'm pretty sure I have a tumor growing on my hip too. I'd get it checked, but between student loans, insane cost of living, and rising costs of literally everything else, I can't afford to right now. I'm a childless engineer with "great" health insurance and a roommate, so I'm relatively well off. I have no idea why shit hasn't boiled over yet. Makes me want to depose some CEOs too.
