  • If you can swing the time and tuition, every urban hospital needs CNAs. It’s probably the least schooling for the most job security. Phlebotomy as well. Hospitals also, historically, offer cheaper/better health care if you stay in house.

    Mileage will vary a lot by location, in terms of pay and such, but it’s worth looking into. In adfition, it shows you options and offers tuition reimbursement.

    Hospitals, not long term care. The latter is awful, in most locations.

    Barring that, there’s no schooling options like EVS and logistics/supply runners. The latter will be among the first cuts if Congress allows further cuts to Medicaid or Medicare.




  • Keyboard and mouse setup with old school DnD. The games that move your entire party with a single mouse click on the map.

    Baldurs Gate 1 & 2,

    Planescape Torment,

    Neverwinter Nights campaigns 1-3,

    Neverwinter Nights 2, 1 & 2. MotB is artfully made. And you get to heroic and levels.

    Iirc Dragon Age Origins has a similar setup, BioWare breaks from the format in later editions.

    There’s always 4x. Endless Legend is neat. Stellaris. Civ for classsic content.















  • In terms of Palestine? I don’t know how you yanked that interpretation out. If it doesn’t change with either party then the only reason to vote Trump is spite, followed by a leopard eating your faces.

    In terms of everything else? Yes and no. I do know we would not have:

    1. Further rollback of civil liberties of women
    2. a tax plan (impending) intended to trap women in marriage
    3. brown shirt army stalking people and performing street executions
    4. war with Iran
    5. gas prices that will continue to rise long after the war with Iran is done
    6. A rollback on all solar and wind programs / projects
    7. rollback of consumer protections re banks, credit cards, junk fees
    8. halt on internet being made an essential utility
    9. a tax plan that pushes billionaires toward becoming trillionaires
    10. NIOSH gutted, good luck with work safety gear manufactured from here on out
    11. Elections being gutted for midterms via the US postal service
    12. Speech, now, you can’t even protest Israel without being arrested or booted.
    13. Impending collapse of the dollar
    14. Cuba
    15. All those dead fishermen in South American waters
    16. Further privacy erosion in favor of Google, META, Microsoft, etc
    17. Disrespect and disenfranchising military vets, like Kelly and all the randomly expelled career generals in an attempt to make the military another brown shirt brigade
    18. And I’m sick of listing this crap.

    Arguably, 9 & 16 would probably still happen, but in slower subtler ways. The rest? Every spite vote or lack thereof made it happen.

    I don’t like our two party system. But unless you have an actual solution that fixes it at the time of an election, then the spite play does indeed hurt all.
