  • I dunno about epic, but this game is tons of fun for me. Spent lots of hours.

    Not sure how to explain it other than you will like it if you enjoy organizing synergies between equipment and trying to get an OP setup.

  • It doesn't matter what has been defined as entry level - they can train for any job they need if they are willing to pay and take the time.

    But I see what you are saying. It's different and they will have to adapt.

    Billionare Warren Buffett talks about estate taxes and advocates for poor Americans. 2007.

    This shit is old and still true

    From YT description; In this compelling speech before Congress, Warren Buffett delivers a strong argument for a fair tax system, calling out the growing wealth gap and the dangers of eliminating the estate tax. He warns against a society where dynastic wealth replaces meritocracy, emphasizing the need for a progressive estate tax to prevent America from turning into a plutocracy. Buffett also proposes an alternative: using estate tax revenue to support low-income households, ensuring fairness in a system that disproportionately benefits the ultra-wealthy.

    Key takeaways include: ✅ Why removing the estate tax would widen economic inequality ✅ How the wealth gap has skyrocketed over the last 20 years ✅ The real impact of tax law changes on the super-rich ✅ Buffett’s proposal to support low-income families instead of eliminating the estate tax ✅ The moral and economic argument for tax fairness

    This is a must-watch for anyone interested in economic policy, wealth distribution, and tax fairness. Learn directly from Warren Buffett’s insightful perspective on how to create a more just and balanced economy.

    How do we force the DNC to change leadership?

    It's time. Everyone agrees the DNC is a failure for numerous reasons. It's time to stop bitching and figure out how to fix it.

    How do we get people like Bernie, AOC and Jon Stewart in charge?

    Scro-Totum Pole

    Today I saw a totem pole made of skeletons. I tried to come up with a word for it, something like skeletotem pole and accidentally imagined a similar sounding scrotum-totem pole.

    Now you are going to imagine one. Do you draw faces on them? Position them to make eyes and stretch them out?

    You're welcome.

    38 and once again looking for a new career.

    I am feeling pretty detached at the moment. Figure I would use this space to think aloud.

    I have been fighting with admin at my school for proper support for me as a teacher and for help fixing a broken program for my students. I got laid off effective the end of the school year. Think it might be because I was a pain in the ass, but I don't know for sure. I wasn't doing a great job because they overloaded me. More different classes than most teachers. Shit support.

    Covid money ran out, they had to lay off some of the conditionally certified teachers and I was one of them. The timing was just... all my complaints, I they were making me cover a position that was vacant while doing my regular teaching, and the students were missing out. I don't think I could prove it but it feels like they got rid of me because I was not satisfied with their answers.

    I can't bring myself to finish getting my teacher certification. I'd have to go out of county to teach.

    I worked 10 years with the homeless, burnt out and fucked it up. Then 2 years working for a law firm supposedly helping people and figure out its just bullshit, helping people was incidental and barely helped. Worked for the cops supposedly helping addicts in person, they just wanted me to do data entry. No idea what I should do.

    It took a lot of courage to get myself to try being a teacher. 3 years at the schools and now I fucking again have to figure out what to do all over again.

    And I have to go into the school for over a month and pretend everything is okay. Fuck I hate this.

    Best deal you ever got?

    What's the best game deal you ever got?

    For me it was the original Subnautica. Was a free give away before it got popular and I had no expectations when I played it. Really enjoyed the exploration and the pacing.

    Second was Axiom Verge - I got it for free before it became popular but I don't remember how. I bought it when it went to Steam because I wanted to support the creator.

    Both are fun exploration sorts of games if you haven't played them. Axiom Verge is a metroidvania. Kinda a weird game, but in a good way.

    Table Saw recommendation?

    What's a good basic table saw? I look at them online and can't really tell much a difference. I'm tempted to just get a harbor freight one but know the fence will probably be loose and other annoyances...

    Anyone have a specific recommendation for someone who is only occasionally playing around with simple carpentry?
