Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What small piece of advice you would like to give that isn't heard enough ?
16·2 years agoYou can just change careers whenever. No one cares. When I was younger it seemed so set in stone like you learn a trade you’re a plumber for life. Go to college your major is what you’re doing for life. It’s not true I knew a philosophy major that was working as an elevator engineer. Do HVAC for 20 years then do something else. It’s fine

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the piece of media so emotionally overwhelming you just stopped it?
2·2 years agoI didn’t turn it off but that scene in Farha with the baby was brutal when you have one in the room with you
Ah to be a teenager again
Learned about it when they banned chapo. The chapo fork wasn’t a good fit for me. Mostly hang out on twitter and use this to post articles or look for longer discussion
Idk its pretty easy I’m usually tired and bored as shit
Open but these fire comments have me reevaluating
Was talking to my friend about this the other day in the context of trade school but I think it applies here: you can change careers whenever you want. When we were younger it felt like such a big decision to pick a trade or in this case a major because it seemed like you were locking in for life, but you can just like… go do something else. No one cares. Someone wanted to hire me as an engineer the other day and I struggled to graduate high-school. Education is kind of a shotgun approach. You get a really broad understanding of a lot of thing because your actual job will probably only use a fraction of it and they’re trying to prepare you to not be completely lost wherever you end up.
Also old teachers are really lazy and the test is probabaly pretty similar, if not identical, to the one they gave last year. Good to know people a little older or save things for your younger siblings.
What you’re too fancy to divide by 25.4 or multiply by .0397?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Should phones have something that shows your profile to people in the proximity?
6·3 years agoPretty sure my phone already does this you just have to pay google a fraction of a penny to see it

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the plan to tackle the horde of incoming AI bots?English
1·3 years agoThe horde aspect might make it easier. The ones on twitter at least you can tell are just running the same script through a thesaurus basically. 20 people leaving the same comment is a little more obvious than just one
I started finding gray hairs around then

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Compare american vs japanese craftsmen-carsEnglish

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?
1·3 years agoYep. My final phone to have one came with this app to control it that was straight malware. Force click a pop up every time you open the app type shit. I still miss it

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's not a sign someone's an asshole, but is often misinterpreted as one?
8·3 years agoIt took me way too long to realize when someone asks how my weekend was it’s because they want to talk about their weekend

World News@lemmy.ml•US intelligence report says China likely supplying tech for Russian military
15·3 years agoLike once a year we get an article about how the us military is too reliant on Chinese parts in their supply chain lol

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I noticed my car had been keyed this morning. How should I go about fixing it?
6·3 years agoIf you’re just worried about rust I’d say do it yourself it’s not that hard

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•People Who Stay On Twitter Are Aiding Musk In His AnticsEnglish
3·3 years agoYeah local stuff keeps me there. Even that’s getting worse, every local station/paper has 5-10 bots replying to every post with completely off topic right-wing stuff.
It’s still a good place to follow news. Shits getting bad though. Ads are way more intrusive than they used to be and it’s like 90% credit card scams or explicit white power stuff













Yeah the place I’m at now was like ‘great your somebody that we can move around/learn things’
