“Attempted murder? What next? The Nobel prize in attempted physics?”

Exactly. Canada is also facing a decent chance at an invasion

I’m an industrial engineer and while Mein deutsch ist scheiß, I’m still learning in the hopes that if I get to go to Europe as a brain drain or as a refugee (listen, if shit gets bad enough it’ll still be shocking if we’re let in) that I won’t just be some dumb monolingual American.

At this point I’m not against renaming it red square and dusting that suggestion off

It’s also important to note why Biden won. Trump was president and everything sucked. Four years later, dealing with long term consequences of Trump still and waiting for Biden’s longer term planning to kick in there was dissatisfaction and blame was thrown. People remembered how nice 2017 and such were economically and thought “well 2020 was the pandemic” and forgot that everything was getting worse in 2019.

So we’re in a precarious position and we said “let the clown run the circus again”. And so we got crammed into the little car and he drove us off a fucking cliff, just like he promised to.

50% for a small nation surrounded by South Africa and for a small bit of France off the coast of newfoundland

Do it. Honestly I’m a little surprised you didn’t do it 80 years ago

Yeah ultimately croneyism doesn’t care what your ideology is unless your ideology involves acting on opposition to croneyism.

It makes me wish my government actually fucking governed and didn’t just agree with whatever businesses told them

They’re not real beans unfortunately. Remember, confections are only lemmy approved if they contain genuine legumes

I was going for a specific type of nerd with fascist sympathies ans a very different specific type of nerd with antifascist sympathies. But also yes

I swear there really are two types of people who learn latin…

Yeah after spending my adulthood on reddit and lemmy markdown is second nature and I don’t like it not being maintained in notesnook thr way it is in Obsidian. I’d prefer a foss solution though and notesnook looks like otherwise it’s better

Kids need trust. They don’t mature without room to fuck up or succeed

Yeah one of the things about an engineering degree is that the base knowledge of an engineering degree often means you’re eligible as a low choice for any engineering field. I know mechanicals working in aerospace for example (and personally I regret going industrial instead of mechanical but it’s just not worth getting a second bs in engineering for that reason).

And yeah, the location thing is hard. I’ve seen some people stack courses like crazy to get in and out fast, but it’s generally understood that that’s unwise with engineering courses. If you don’t mind doing a few semesters in person you could reduce that time by finding a college thats credits transfer there with good online courses and doing all the non-engineering classes. At my university it was extremely common for engis to take math at the local community college because our university math department was notoriously bad for anyone that wasn’t a math major.

And yeah large power systems are cool as hell.

If you’re interested in educational advancement, electrical or civil engineering programs might be good for you. Yes you’re going to deal with 22 year old TAs talking about ayn rand, but your experience could be really valuable. Especially if you want to get into electrical infrastructure work. It’s vital and unglamorous and it’s probably better if some of the people designing our infrastructure understand building and maintaining it.

It’s not hard, Ohio is a diagonal line. Nobody says they’re from Southern Ohio and means they day tripped to Huntington as a kid.

Compared to the usa they’re doing the shit that got us here. Amplifying state power to crack down on dissent eventually leads to someone who will use it getting it

Not surprised there are Hitlers in circleville ohio
