About what I’ll make this year as a CNC machinist. And at least I’m making tangible and useful objects for jet engines and rockets (space, not war). A lot of those C suite executives do jack shit for humanity and get paid more in a week than I make actually working all year.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who have been on Lemmy since the very initial reddit API debacle, or before even that, how much do you think it has changed?
7·17 days agoI left reddit the day the api shit went down and came here. Same Lemmy as its always been but noticeably more people now. My feed is more curated. It reminds me of my reddit experience in maybe 2011 or so. As with anything on the internet, the experience is only as good or as bad as you allow it to be. If you see a community or instance you dont like, just block them and move on. Do I like Lemmy as much as I did early reddit? Id say no, but not by much. Maybe its my rose colored nostalgia glasses for early Reddit that keeps me wishing for things to be the way they used to be but its totally possible that reddit was never as great as I thought it was. Idk. Im here now and I dig it. Its not the same but I like watching it grow and it keeps me entertained when I need it to. Overall, its better than the invasive nature of what reddit is now. Thats just my own opinion tho.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it safe to leave the front door unlocked at night in the US?
9·19 days agoWhen I lived in LA and Atlanta, motherfuckers would steal the milk out of your coffee. I kept everything completely locked up, put away and hidden. I now live in northern Wisconsin and I dont lock anything. I dont think anyone around here does. This is the safest community I’ve ever been a part of and I love it.

I’ll always remember the first time I did the baby quest. The first time I did it, I was like, “well, see ya, Lil fella!” and pitched that little brat right in the oven. Spoiler, turns out, it was the correct thing to do. Otherwise, that shadow demon guy wont jump to you from the guilt Garalt (not I) felt. What a great game.

Pulse of Truth@infosec.pub•Tech Companies Shouldn’t Be Bullied Into Doing SurveillanceEnglish
2·2 months agoYou think it wasn’t their idea in the first place to go to the government and say, “look at all this data we have on literally everyone. For a modest fee and sweetheart tax deals, it can be yours!”
Big tech isn’t your friend or ally. They are the sole reason we live in the surveillance state we currently do.
And thats how Adam and Jim became best friends for the next 30 years.

34·4 months agoWhite dude here… Who the fuck is apologizing for being white? Why do they keep saying this and what’s the point? I’ve never felt the need nor have I ever experienced anyone else needing to apologize for their being white or any other race. What does the right go through that make them feel like they would ever need to apologize for being white because me and all my friends are liberal and thats just not a fucking thing. Do they think it is? I have nothing but questions and none of them even make sense to ask so I can’t imagine a sensible answer being given.
