This is 100% what i see the plan to be as well.

 

I've always thought this method was hilarious, but it's a very specific type of work that requires it. There's not much automation to be done since it's different every time. I also had a previous job where some days you'd have to count product in boxes all day long, and hand write the numbers (this was about 3 years ago).

What outdated things at your work do you find amusing?

 

I found this thought funny. A few years ago everyone was all learn to code so you don't lose your job! Now there wont be any programming jobs in 10 years. But we will need a lot of manual labor still.

I'll show you how many people I see driving absolutely massive trucks (with 6" spacers on the wheels that are abysmal for the drivetrain and look absolutely hideous) that are towing more than 1 single fat ass american:

Houses we're also much smaller. Like 1000 sq ft. Now I can't live in a house smaller than 2500 or it feels too small to me

There was also less people then, and less people who wanted to own a house or car all their own (women, minorities) so that was a large effect. It is amazing how we have all been swindled though. Thanks reagan!

My boomer trait: I cannot stand that kids would rather watch someone else play a game than just play it (unless its some $80 game theu cant afford). HOWEVER I realize, it is actually a great need for them to socialize with people they like and imagine they have friends. So it's really sad, but I get it.

Yeah on one hand it's like, screw it, waste all i want and fuck the rest. But then I'd be a boomer

I mean, the flour and eggs you buy to cook at home also come from corpos. I have a garden but there's no way it could sustain someone without also using grocery.

This is so great.

I can't stand willfully dumb people!

I actually enjoy when this happens. All this centralized shit will not end well.

Sorry, when im referring to those of an older age im thinking mcmansion, 3 campers and 4 trucks (most people in the Midwest cities) so thats where I was guessing more waste is created.

Yes of course the answer is stop eating fast food. Live in a cave, don't reproduce, that is how we create the least waste. Im not suggesting that. Im saying it's gross that these companies willingly waste so much when we don't really need to.

 

I could have titled this as just waste created by living daily, but wanted to focus it down a little more. I feel kind of like im the crazy one that sees this insane waste when eating at restaurants, wrappers, cups, drink carriers going right in the trash, billions per day. Its insanity if you think about it.

I've at least been never using cup lids or straws and never taking drink carriers when theyre offered (what a massive waste of cardboard!). Then most of the waste is at least paper from the bag and wrapper. Still not great. And yes, I know the solution would be "cook at home!" But that also wastes a lot of freshwater from dish washing, and sometimes it's just nice to eat somewhere else.

I wonder if this is just something you notice as you get older. Then again older peiple probably waste the most, but I'm just guessing.

 

I feel super dumb asking this. But what actually is and how does github (or similar sites) work? Are they all just source files one needs to manually compile? I am always confused when I look at a github page. I know some have directions but they still go way over my head sometimes. Im not a total noob but some of this stuff seems like you need to be in programming and have an IDE just to run a program.

 

I know it's a joke " oh haha you're 30, everything hurts now cuz you're so old!" But really, is something wrong with me or are backs just this stupid? Not overweight. Decently active although I don't exersize every single day. No genetic issues, doctor always says im in perfect health. But my lower back will randomly act up, sometimes it gets so bad that I about black out from the pain. Thats pretty rare though, usually it's just an ache all day when I move or try to put my socks on. Its not sciatica, as I never feel numbness or pain in my legs. Mild weakness maybe if it hurts really bad.

I feel like any doctor is just going to say welp, you're old it happens, or tell me I need 3.5 million dollar spinal surgery.
