    Yeah, tech jobs easily pay $200k-600k. A bad, low level tech job will still probably pay $120k. Some people are making $1M+, especially couples where both have tech jobs. This is why many people choose to live in California despite the cost of living. That said, if you aren’t in tech, it can be a struggle and that’s where you get people trying to cling to rent-controlled apartments and split rent 6-ways. This polycule is probably in part driven by housing costs and as most of them are young, they haven’t yet come to feel that living with 6 other people fucking sucks.





















  • The point of Lemmy is to have discussions. Can people look things up on the internet? Yes. Does that add to the discussion? No.

    If people should just google all things at all times to avoid discussing them, why even have Lemmy in the first place.

    With my comment, I’m inviting someone more knowledgeable about the subject to share their perspective here in the thread where the post is. It’s actually an act of love and it’s conversation 101, but you’re all so blinded by rage that you bite even those who try to meet you where you’re at. You must all be insufferable to speak with in real life.





  • She downvoted me for asking. I did say I searched the thread for examples. Do we make friends by downvoting and aggressively scolding everyone who doesn’t understand our personal crusades and doesn’t immediately invest in a thorough internet quest to understand it?

    Again, whatever. I’m out on this thread. You’re all blocked. Good luck.
