Is this the beginning of civil war?

A PhD can get a much higher paying (and likely less physically difficult) job than fast food.

That maybe be true, but they may be trying a different career, or unable to find a job in their field because of oversaturation, or whatever other reason.

The unspoken assumption when someone is “overqualified” is that they will take a better job if the opportunity presents itself.

Isn’t that everybody though? If a cashier in fastfood got an opportunity to become a highly-paid streamer, they’d quit their fastfood job immediately too. But I do get your point: better credentials mean better job chances, mean greater likelihood of moving a job that’s paid better.

That’s an assumption. Maybe they want to switch careers.

What does that have to do with qualifications? If a PhD applies for a job at a fastfood joint and asks for the same wage as everybody else, that has nothing to do with qualifications.

The screaming about low birth rate is because corporations want to keep a high labor pool so they can drive down the price of labor while keeping up demand for consumption.

It’s not only that. By the time you want to retire, there won’t be enough people to pay taxes for your retirement fund. With more young people than old, that is less of a problem.

“We cannot be outnumbered by immigrants!” *die out because their own population won’t make babies*

Pornstars show us their assholes but I’m pretty sure they don’t want everybody to know where they live. Just like normal people aren’t comfortable shitting in a public toilet with the door open.

Meanwhile: the beauty standards are too high! we need a campaign to show what “real” women look like.

Honestly, do people in the US actually know what the words liberals, conservatives, communists, marxists, fascists, etc. even mean? The words seem to just have taken on the urbandictionary meanings and serve as expletives more than anything else. Seemingly long lost are their use as per definition in Meriam Webster or Cambridge Dictionary.

Canadian French is the abandoned old French child that mixed with sal Anglais for 200 years. It’s the French mutt. They are furthest and closest to old French at the same time.

What are your work hours like? And have you invested in anything? (stock, crypto, physical assets like gold or silver, …)

What a state the world is in. We consider you lucky, yet this should be the absolute minimum.

You’re living the life dude…

Can this even hold up in court?

• exceptional food
• cheap workforce (the next major factory of world after China is becoming “too expensive” and competitive)
• hinduism
• religious segration
• caste system
• extreme poverty and extreme wealth
• racist towards dark skinned people (also due to caste)
• anti-queer
• lots of potential, but also among world leaders in corruption
• hot
• noisy, polluted cities
• very influenced by external forces

I’d like to visit, but Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, and Japan look more enticing.

Trailers nowadays reveal all the major plot points or nothing at all. Sometimes I’ll watch a trailer and know how generic it is, and sometimes I’ll watch it not knowing a single thing about the movie.

The best way to watch a trailer nowadays is just the first 30-60 seconds. If you don’t know what’s going on after that timespan, it’s not worth watching, but any longer and you’ll know too much.

Closed source that pretends to be your friend. They are just wearing a different mask than google, microsoft, facebook, bytedance, and so on. Any privacy gained is a circumstantial side-effect that will cede to any monetary interests and will be used as an excuse to lock users into their walled garden.

If that’s a night train, fuck the flight. I’d rather sleep on the train and wake up in a new city for 40$ than drive to the airport for an hour, wait on the plain for 1-2 hours, wait 30 minutes for take off, and then get an uber or something to the city center for another 20$. With a train you show up, sit down, and arrive in the center of the city where I want to be.
