Do whatever you want. I like setting goals for myself like building stasis chamber farms, maxing equipment, getting all the techs, building beautiful bases, collecting rare ships, etc.

A buddy of mine has a PHD in Cajun Fusion. Turns out, harnessing the power of the sun is only slightly more complex than a good gumbo. Who knew?

Late to the party but I used to work in the Auto industry.

The brands I trust in order: Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Mazda, Subaru.

That's the whole list. Brands outside this list tend to produce dogshit cars, IMHO.

Brands on the list are known for being fairly reliable and easy to maintain. Buy the lowest trim options for the least amount of tech if that's your prerogative.

I really want a set of movies or a long form TV series on the Butlerian Jihad after Dune 3.

A high velocity paycheck

Pirate a CAD program, learn how to use it, then pay for the certification test.

After passing, you apply for CAD designer jobs or do Freelance CAD. You'll have a leg up on everyone else if you have that certification. Many of these jobs are remote and don't require college.

CAD programs may seem daunting at first, but they are actually pretty straightforward. If you can do basic math and play video games, you can do CAD.

Money doesn't buy happiness. It buys stability, the foundation of happiness.

 

Here's a couple examples from my life:

  1. Safety Razor. I get a better shave and it's like $15 for 100 razor blades, which lasts me a couple years. Way way way better than the disposable multi-blade Gillette things, which sell 5 heads for $20.

  2. Handkerchiefs. I am prone to allergies, so instead of constantly buying disposable tissues, we now have a stack of handkerchiefs that can just be used a few times and then thrown in the wash. This has also saved me loads.

What about you?

I'll never understand the eternal hype around "flying cars". Fuckers out here can hardly drive on a 2d road. Now you want to introduce a third axis on them?

I guarantee that if the general public gets their hands on a real "flying car", it'll take about 2 weeks before some drunk idiot commits a mini 9/11.

This is the answer. I'm 26 and most of my peers didn't really use the internet beyond the occasional usage of the school library computers until Apple released the first iPhone. By that time places like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit were up and running.

That's all their experience with the internet is. Polished experiences through dedicated apps on extremely popular platforms. Now those people have had kids and all those kids know is the same thing. It's all apps on phones and tablets.

Lemmy: A) Is too complicated in it's current form for those types of people to effectively understand and use.

B) Lemmy is currently emulating a type of early internet experience that only nostalgic older millennials nerds crave. General users tend to prefer bigger platforms.
