Banning kids from listening to music might just be one of the most evil things you could do. Like a Mr Burns storyline from The Simpsons

leftists' denial of AI is so funny because it ultimately boils down to "autistic nerds are weird and offputting"

Noticing a pattern where rightoids, esp. Gen X and boomers, peddle "learn a trade you'll eventually make big bucks!" as an alternative to education (woke, effeminate, gay) & the trades pay less than retail or fast food & everyone in the field who isn't a boomer says it's hell.

Having one of those days where I mourn the loss of the usable internet. It's become so degraded and empty, so full of bullshit and devoid of life, so much more difficult to navigate and enjoy. It's all platforms, products, sponsored posts, scams, scams, scams.

Saw someone say, “The internet was once a library and they turned it into a store,” and if you’re young I don’t think you can imagine how different the web used to be.

Finally Trades being called out. It's a psyop for young zoomer men being pushed by boomer fucks who don't know reality.
I worked HVAC before my current WFH job. The pay was shit, it was very hard to get hired on and the boomer shitheads in charge had smug attitudes constantly.

median mechanical engineering shop vs median “makerspace”
“Makerspaces” aren’t really makerspaces, they’re like intro to engineering classes. It’s a huge pain.
I went to one today to get a some filament for a calibration print on my portable printer. They couldn’t give me new filament because of some “policy.” After a manager got involved, they sold me a morsel of recycled stuff for $1. That comes out to about $100/kg, roughly 10x bulk filament cost.
You also can’t take anything out of the lab. To use a hot glue gun or even a screwdriver, you have to hand over your student ID, they register a second card, you scan both. You get logged for trying to glue something 😂There are like 3 safety courses before you can use a soldering iron.
Half the space is cutesy textile and fabric printing machines. The other half has a filament recycling line that costs several times more to run than just buying filament in bulk.
It’s the same attitude from the student “supervisors” at every lab on campus. They explain things you never asked about. I went for some filament and got a completely irrelevant explanation of PLA vs PETG vs ABS, and was told several times it would probably get tangled without a spool. Even a total beginner just asking for filament doesn’t need to be lectured. Answer the question, and offer more if someone wants it. Every question turns into some sort of knowledge dump, and everything needs approval from someone with a title.
These spaces are a fine place to learn what a 3D printer is, but completely useless for projects.
I was going to put some machines in a campus lab and donate some filament, but the rule is any equipment you bring in is university property, and you’d have to ask permission to use your own machine, so they can get lost.
UIUC is probably the school most fixated on getting students jobs, so you’d think they’d make it easy to work on the thing employers care about most, which is projects.

It amazes that you can find men that prefer the left to the right. Absolutely remarkable
