You realize the headquarters of Walmart are in Arkansas? There are plenty of very high paying jobs in significantly more affordable places. Also if you pay 1/4 less for a house, and add daily childcare it’s still gonna be cheaper. People literally do it all the time, the whole concept of the suburbs was created so that people could afford houses.

Equipment from grants? What grant money if no one is working to pay taxes? The root of the problem, I asked a question and your first response is how much free stuff will the government give me.

Can’t believe people actually allow people like this to have an audience. Have you ever tried to grow enough food to eliminate the need to go to the grocery store?

Your statement is incorrect. The Danish straits are considered international waterways and the gulf of Finland has a central strip of international waters (even though the Helsinki–Tallinn Tunnel never got started). So if you are trying to get technical, you should know your shit first. You cannot get to any of Scandinavia without crossing international space via train.

This whole mess can just be over if you just agree that the statement is wild. You’re pulling at straws to defend an argument that doesn’t make any sense.

You want to include Scandinavia, well if I include Alaska it’s ~5k miles from Miami to Anchorage. Point still stands its a wild comment to make.

This is a wild comment. ~3.8MM sq miles vs ~1.6MM

Lisbon to Vilnius ~2375 miles longest route I could picture Portland ME to San Diego ~3200 miles Portland OR to Miami ~3250 miles NY to Chicago ~800 miles Hamburg to Vienna ~600 miles

Maybe this is an event of what happens if I don’t know? I understand that this wouldn’t be something you could cold turkey, but what I’m saying is what if I’m that scenario you start questioning “do I need to know?”. When you’re in a comfortable mind space, think about what you would have done ~15 years ago when there was no access to an unlimited amount of data?

I’m definitely not a therapist so maybe this isn’t helpful at all but worth a shot.

I think a super important thing people forget is a good PMs ability to always know where the data is that’s been received. Can’t tell you the number of times there’s been conversations “we’re waiting on x from the client” and the PM being long it’s right here in the standard location. How they remember everything I don’t know.

The true skilled arguer. Upset that I tell you what you have or have not done and then proceed to do the exact same thing.

You didn’t answer the question. Regardless of who’s more right, the end result is the same. There are diversity “goals or mandates” whatever you want to call it. So you are actively looking for people to fill roles based on protected characteristics. Do you not agree this is a direct contradiction of the civil rights act of 1962?

Lol to people that believe this is left. This is central. You know there is a party to support these beliefs? It’s called the libertarian party, Google it. You didn’t have to vote for someone who doesn’t represent you as a person regardless of what the Internet says!?

Dude, just look up the 3 cue system vs phonics. Talk about teaching to a system… Based on the are of the standard forum user you were likely a 3 cue learner and I’m truly sorry. No exaggeration I’ve read 1000s of books in my life and I can’t imagine struggling to read. I’m sorry.

You have taken zero FEDERAL DEI training programs. This is obvious by the article you linked and your comment. DEI had no effect outside of working in a federal position or federal contractor. Honestly if I were you I’d be embarrassed of this post. Of course that was when I thought I was on lemmy. I didn’t realize the education level had already dipped to reddit levels.

Btw the DEI explicitly contradicts the civil rights act of 1962 and the protected characteristics of hiring someone and actually makes them the deciding factor. So maybe do 10 mins of research and you will probably change your mind. I understand independent research is difficult but I promise the payoff is worth it.

Let’s talk about suburbs. These generations left the city because they couldn’t afford it. Now suddenly living 5 mins from work is expected but then the an entry level job can’t afford it and it’s a generational difference? Can you afford to buy a house within 45 mins to your work? Hell ya where I live but you don’t have immediate access to all city amenities.

Your statement is not based on fact. The DEI created metrics that federal employment and federal contractors were required to meet related to DEI.

it’s more on the lines of, one of the women quit so we can only interview women because otherwise we won’t meet our required diversity goal.

Your statement is the dream goal and not the actual case.

Except that they can’t, especially Europe. While EU has drastically reduced oil and gas from Russia it’s still like 20%. I’ve heard Hungary and Austria don’t have access to gas from other countries other than Russia. (If someone has a source that says otherwise I’d be open to it).

Lol, says the guy that says ~150+ novels, 9 movies, 13 shows and I’m not even going to try to count comics are new school Kyber bullshit. Why are you even reading star wars pages for?

Maybe if everyone that posted threads like this voted 3rd party, maybe 3rd party would get enough votes for once to push a reelection and get on the radar? Instead of trying to get people to vote for 2 candidates that don’t support their needs and/or wants.

You do realize that the winning president has to win at least 50% of the electoral college vote in order to win. If no one president does then the top 3 candidates go to the house of representatives to be chosen. Just the media if this happened would finally put a third party on the radar, even if they only won one state.

This is not even a secret strategy. We were already using this strategy as like 8 year olds. Guaranteed win is a clown thing to say though. You could play a whole game and just land on properties other people have already bought.
