There are several jobs that are frequently mentioned in discussions like this that are actually thanked all of them time.

Nurses, teachers, fire, EMTs and police are always mentioned. They are hard jobs and mostly under paid. However they are constantly thanked, businesses give discounts and commercials and politicians thank them endlessly.

Grocery store workers, butchers, plumbers, electricians, custodians, truck drivers and most "menial jobs" are completely thankless. Think of the last time you saw a 10% off for nurses and if you've ever seen 10% off for overnight stockers.

You think if India doesn't change their name Pakistan will go "alright well go with Bahrat then!"

That's the funniest thing ever.

Mastering? It's an OS not a skill.

Are really looking down on people because you open the terminal often instead of being able to click something?

I'm not sure I understand, the whole point is to talk to people very far away.

I'm sincerely confused as to why you would want more than one keyboard. To me it sounds like owning more than one printer, but even less convenient. Can you explain it to me?

I initially hated the idea, but if it's possible to hit crazy benchmarks without trains then it gives a new way of reaching mega base.

Also it can limit the reliance on blueprints. There is something satisfying about pasting a big block, but it gets repetitive when you are pasting your 8th green circuit block.

People don't like cars, people like freedom and convenience. The US is designed around cars, and it's not impossible to live without a car, but very close. Your argument is like saying people like health insurance, that's why they keep buying it. The issue is that there isn't a different choice.

It reminds me of the future Borg from Voyager.

I love that episode.

And the moral of "I can get stuff just by asking for it!" Is a real lesson.

I agree with their politics, I just feel that plot took a hit to allow them to soapbox more. Aliens lost what made them alien and became humans with make up.

My issue isn't the message, to me it felt like the lecturing of DISCO with fart jokes.

I was making over $60k a year managing a small retail store.

It isn't too hard to break into management of boutique retail shops, but you are basically a rep who doesn't get overtime and has a few additional responsibilities. A part time job at a big corporation won't be a living wage, but it's possible to make a living in retail.

The job really sucks though.
