An iBook. I had the GPU replaced twice under warranty. I sold it after the second time. Never again.

You are close to getting it

I was in hospice with my father and I watched him die for a few days, or...was it a few months.

It's not the age, the length, or how many times you've been reelected, but getting elected in the first place has such a high barrier, massive gerrymandering, and more.

Careful, your racism is showing.

That's the point.

diskmaster23 ,

That's like... 20 states. Who are we going to exploit if it isn't the south?

Non-unionized labour.Link

How do you not think that the government isn't the capitalist state? The one who regulates commerce among capitalists, and those rules get put in by input from the collective capitalists. They are one and the same.

What about phones?

Is not the argument that they usually are there to shoot the protestors?

diskmaster23 ,

Yes, capitalism sucks. It's better than fuedualism, but it still sucks.

diskmaster23 ,

Democracy cannot coexist equally with capitalism.

This idiot isn't thinking that far ahead.

Hey, you are doing it, bud. Forgive your younger self. It needs love too.

I've recently turned 20. What highly specific advice you, lemmy users, would offer me?

A lot of people answering this struggle to understand what highly-specific means. I'm looking to, for the sake of experiment, highly-specific advice that gives a reader clear understanding of what they should do. Unlike the vague advice, on the contrary, that may be too abstract to get implementing it right away....

Someone gave me good advice, and it has worked out well, so far. Put money away for retirement. Even a little bit will multiply as the years go on.

For me, it's the genocide thing. Like how the USA killed over a half million people in Iraq.

So, rich people

Does your major in college really matters?

I'm in my last year of college and for some reason, I decided to design my own major, and I feel like I made a mistake, I'm looking at jobs RN and feel like no employer is going to understand it at all. And that I don't really have much in demand skills? (FYI - it's a BA in community development, so kinda like urban planning but...

So, I got a ba in political science and like two minors. I ended up doing computer repair for a good decade then got into a job doing purchasing then eventually got into IT sourcing/procurement. I wouldn't be able to do that if I didn't have some good fundamentals in reading and writing, which the BA provided.
But in the long run, it doesn't matter once you get work experience. The degree is a check box at some point.
