Something I kept hearing when I was younger is that STEM = money and getting a degree or pursuing a career in something that doesn't make money is a waste of time. This idea gave a lot of people a high and mighty attitude that if you arent working in tech you're wasting your life. "Get fit and learn to code" became the go-to life advice when I was in my 20s. People that don't understand art (not as in getting a message out of it, but understanding why people enjoy creative works) telling each other and anyone that will listen that if something isn't a money making engine theres no reason to do it

I leaned forward. “But, sir,” I said, “there’s an old-fashioned form of swiping you can do. It’s called turning your head. Because we’re here. We’re in the jungle room. You can see it unmediated. Here. Look.” I waved my hand, and the fake green leaves rustled a little. Their eyes returned to their screens. “Look!” I said. “Don’t you see? We’re actually there. There’s no need for your screen. We are in the jungle room.” They hurried away.

Call me lumberjack cause I wish a nigga wood pay for YouTube premium. With how many times YT tells me I’m not connected to the internet while my phone has a 3 bars of 5G (for whatever that’s worth) connection, hell naw I’m not paying for youtube premium. They move the goalpost way too often for what counts as “monetizable content” to the point that it’s neutering my favorite content creators to keep the lights on. TBH I’d rather pay Nebula

I’m that player. I love writing characters so coming up with a detailed backstory for why my guy is here and what type of personality I’m going to roleplay as is part of the process.
