how can I get a place to live without a job, and how do I get a job without a place to live?" situation.

as someone who went through this exact situation, I decided to just say “fuck it” and kinda threw myself out into the universe, with the understanding that if I failed the landing I was probably just going to die. I was homeless for a little bit, and the first job I had was a lot shittier than anything I’d worked before, but it is possible. The biggest issue I’d say is the lack of education; however, my partner at the time only had a high school diploma and was able to leverage his service industry experience to quickly find work.

it just means “looking” idk what’s so hard about it.

comfy actually summs up a lot of my critcisms of the instance perfectly. In a word, it really is like everything I hated about reddit.

Block early and block often. Probably the best decision I ever made was blocking lemmy.world from my feed.

I went to a public school and got 2/3rds of what you did, so I’m not really sure the issue is public vs private and more an issue of education in general in the U.S.

Really fucking stressed and hoping I can escape the country before I get killed.

I mean, GI already died and came back once, so maybe

Considering a lot of us were projecting that the U.S. would begin arming Russia and the war would end quite dramatically in Russia’s favor? Yeah no change is a massive silver lining.

As I was sitting at my desk with some tea and a stroopwaffel, one of my coworkers commented that I “really knew how to live.”

I honestly feel like Smith gets a real bad rap from undereducated progressives. He would also have hated what the United States has morphed into, and I’m sure he’s spinning in his grave over people using his economic theories as justifications for pure laissez-faire capitalism. “The Invisible Hand of the Market” that conservatives use to justify trickle-down economics and often attribute to him isn’t even really his, it’s from a batshit insane later guy called Paul Samuelson! Smith only referred to it in the context of international investments, never this idea that “domestic corporations will always do what is good for the public.”

I don’t agree with everything in Wealth of Nations, but it seems a lot of people just dismiss Smith completely out of hand. We should talk about him just like we talk about Marx, his work is not useless nor trivial.

My company has zero wait times and is a non-profit that gives money to children.

It’s the callers. There are a lot of people who are genuinely terrible and seem to feel like it’s okay to treat anyone they think is beneath them as terrible, to say nothing of the insane sexism/racism that people like to spew.

Here comes the boom!

Are you really that surprised? I regularly see people even on Lemmy talking about how much they wish they could disconnect from everything going on and live a quiet peaceful life in the country. That’s essentially what all these people have chosen; they have decided the world is too scary for them and they don’t want to process it anymore. Things will continue to get worse for them, and they won’t have any idea why.

He backed down before Trump even yelled at him, this was never going to actually happen.

So there’s this state in the United States called Ohio, and it’s generally one of the worst places to be. If you’re “in Ohio” or “feeling Ohio,” you’re feelin bad.

It was definitely preventable, but to laud all of this to the actions of one man is foolish. The American empire has been in decay for longer than I have been alive. It’s not really surprising that is now begun to crumble and collaps.

Honestly though, rejects all accepted scientifc logic and reason? Does something incredibly stupid and dangerous, just for money and clout? Nearly kills everyone around them in the process? Only bailed out through dumb luck, absolutely no talent to be found at all?

No wonder Trump loves Columbus, he was the first American!

I don’t have much to add to your search, but I’m in the exact same situation almost down to the card and also looking for an upgrade. The only advice I have so far is to go for team Red, AMD seems to be so, so much better to use on Linux than Nvidia.

Damn that’s some real frontier-pushing science. I’m not sure if I’m comfortable teaching my cats how to use a torch though.
