I think there is a bit of a difference.

Millennials have had to deal with a near constant shitty job market, constantly having to do more for less.

What they’re describing for Gen X is that a part of the economy has completely disappeared at a time when they should be high earners. The combination of lower cost digital media and an international labor pool means entire professions and trades have been wiped out.

And it isn’t good for them if stock growth doesn’t happen because American companies lose market share.

If you are going to list job experience, make sure to use active verbs to describe tasks and try to show that you were working beyond the role.

If you get an interview, be able to talk about what is on your resume.

I found the people in Jordan were incredibly friendly.

Yeah. The invocation of Article 5 for Afghanistan showed a mixed response from the various NATO nations in what support they would provide.

That’s what I’m expecting. They aren’t going to fix what Musk broke and they are going ahead with tarrifs, which wasn’t Musk led.

Same reason I don’t do my own car maintenance, I’d rather spend my time and energy doing something else.

Lemmy is nowhere near close to diverting developer resources to that.

Or just make it work at scale.

Lemmy at a million users would look far different than it does now.

The market is to optimize for max human eyesight, which is a horizontal aspect ratio. For edge cases, a monitor can be converted to a vertical aspect ratio easily.

There really isn’t a large market to go square. If anything, monitors have gotten wider over time.

I don’t think it would.

First, you’d have to power the device, which is likely going to take a lot of energy.

Second, the device is additive only, so it can’t address issues with built in scarcity like land.

Third, there is going to be an interesting middle ground where you still need some forms of manufacturing to run the economy.

There will be drastic changes to the economy, but I doubt that communism would fully take over.

Sister wanted to get a job doing art and ended up getting an offer to work as an illustrator for a publishing company. One of her parents was all in in this. The other parent asked me to look out over to see if it was real or not. Turns out it was a scam I found out from 5 minutes of web searching. I had to be the one to break the news and the parent who was all in on the idea didn’t seem fazed that this was likely a scam since “there was a chance it was real”.

Nothing was signed, but I had to take the hit of standing in the way of the sister’s success.

The USA under Trump wants to make being an empire worth it financially while getting some territorial gains.

Greenland could be a second Alaska for the USA as Greenland has untapped mineral reserves and a strategic location in the Arctic Circle. Annexing Canada would be on par with the Louisiana Purchase or gains from the Mexican-American War. Panama is a major strategic asset.

Trump wants to leave Europe because he doesn’t see anything for him by staying.

Russia is looking to reestablish its Soviet borders, with a focus on Europe. Belarus is a Russian puppet, but Ukraine can go either way and Ukrainian territory is strategically important to Russia. Beyond that, Russia would probably want to bring in the Baltic nations as well, which is probably what intelligence agencies refer to as Russia wanting to attack Europe.

Beyond reforming the old empire, Russia wants to establish a greater sphere of influence in Europe and weaken potential rivals. A united EU is a threat in that can provide a unified response to Russian expansion.

She isn’t banned from running because she is fascist, but because she is corrupt.

The closest I’ve ever gotten to intentionally flirting and it succeeding was playing “Questions Only.” with someone who didn’t know I was playing this. My friend, who dared me to play, had to tell the target my name since I couldn’t say my name since I had to respond to everything with a question.

So, um, learn to listen?

I thought the last scene was a bit of a cop out.

That’s an entirely different situation all together now.

I’m not surprised. Spez killed two good methods of generating revenue while maintaining a staff that is probably too large and not creating products that generate revenue.
