How Boomer.
It’s a choice WHAT one consumes. To me it’s like the asshats at work who were actually excited to “return to office.” You know full well who has a shitty home life they’re escaping, and this is similar. People who are incapable of doing something about it.
Consume better content. Tune it out. Easy enough.
So… Saw Gerrera versus the Rebel Alliance.
Explain the US love affair with Israel then.
Or an interesting news item that is just a video.
Grossly oversimplifying this doesn’t make your crappy point valid.
Getting decent housing that isn’t in an HOA in some regions is a privilege a lot of people don’t have. At least they were still able to attain some homeownership.
I used to work in a place with people who’s title was Program Analyst. And in all the HR/IT systems they were always shown as PROG ANAL next to their name and photo.
I don’t use any of those. Probably the only real cloud-like thing I have or still allow for some reason is an old Gmail, and that I limit use of.
‘by and large’ is a moronic phrasing that adds nothing.
Try being raised in a narcissist Christian household with clearly sensitive parents seething at every opportunity to lob shame and judgment on ANYONE else to distract from the fucking evil stain on life which they themselves are. Couple it with some financial success in their lives so they extra feel like they don’t need to answer to anyone else for fucking anything.
At least you were able to communicate with it.
Also it’s “a whole other” and NOT “a whole nother”
Unsurprising from the same people who light train tracks on fire and lean out on glass 400 stories in the air for a thrill.
Seeing more of your responses, it is clear you spend too much time online in anti-capitalist groups and expect people to just magically accomplish your ideals.
Good luck to you and your bitterness. The rest of us have actual lives to live and bills to pay. It’s not as binary as you see it.
I needed to live and pay bills and take care of a family. I tried to write it in a sensitive way and it still wasn’t good enough for your entitled, priviliged, and judgmental stance.
Some of us literally have no ability to just entertain “adventure.” We needed to just survive. And I was simply stating that I think some people need to be a bit more willing to make hard choices to better their lives, such as moving where their particular jobs are more likely to be.
It has nothing to do with licking boot. It has to do with reality and survival. But a secondary benefit was that I found joy in my career and what I do since it’s a public service type of career as well. I also became a productive member of society and can now help others a bit in various ways.
I’ll also add that while the goal at the time was not to do anything I wanted, but to do what I needed, I wound up in a degree and field that is still interesting (I didnt study what I wanted, I studied what I thought might pay well and which I was good at). Moving for jobs was significant to changing my life and giving some new perspective and adventure in the simple sense that I got away from where I grew up and saw a different place and have met and worked with tons of great people from all over the world who also moved here. It was not my original purpose, and it’s not the same as travel for adventure or leisure which was not something I could ever entertain for the majority of my life, but it has in a way given me adventure I wasn’t seeking.
I will also note the original move for a job itself was never simple. We literally slept on floors for the first few weeks.
I don’t regret any of it. Our lives are immensely better today for making hard but smart moves for the better. Others should also do the same if they have options to better their lives.
Everyone’s experience is different, and things ARE absolutely more difficult in recent decades than many decades ago.
That said, I remember around the time I was graduating and how it felt like the vast majority of everyone I knew was baffled by my willingness to move far away (for the job), and how many of them refused to move away from home (where there weren’t many job options for degrees).
There’s also choices to make to do projects or a thesis around real productive ideas to build something to show off to employers. There’s opportunities to practice interviewing, shadow careers, and make yourself presentable and stand out for your field, and again I just remember very few who actually put in the effort and wanted to appear well-rounded amd with a portfolio of sorts to distinguish themselves. Most of my classmates seemed to just want to check boxes and expect a career to happen.
Some people in my personal experience seem unwilling to do what’s necessary to make their degree worthwhile.
Yeah you may be able to get [insert degree] at [random local college], but a lot of the good careers are not going to be where you got the degree, amd you really have to find ways to convince employers why you’re different.
Then on top of all of that, there’s just some luck as well. And I know in some ways I also just got lucky in landing a job.
Meanwhile, ever since I moved and started a career, I have been surrounded by incredible degree-wielding people from all over the world. So clearly lots of people do find success and they are doing great jobs.

So odd.
50 years now. Wages and productivity separated in the 70s.
