I’d much rather fight a billionaire than the local baker or the owner of the local pizza shop.

All buisness is exploitative, but our modern world has definently changed the scale and in many ways reshapes the face of the enemy.

Put simply I don’t hate an individual that owns a local buisness. They could probably be reasoned with if we got a proper revolution. These are people just trying to survive against the system. Like us all. They don’t possess the capital to influence our elections.

I think capitalism has become so unrestrained we have to truly consider who the enemy is again.

If I was going to commit crimes why would I go to grad school?

Might as well not even get the debt

How else does one get through grad school?

It can be a little more popular imo. We’re still just under the “critical mass” needed to get more niche instances in good shape in terms of users and discussion

This is like saying the US has directly attacked Russian forces because some US citizens joined the Ukrainian military.

Depends on the subfield. Archaeology is in high demand due to historic preservation laws.

But yeah capping out is annoying, but also common in a lot of fields.

Those islands have different rules. Longest I’ve ever waited for bags

Honestly i just want to stand after a long flight. I do not fit well in the seats, my shoulders are significantly wider than the seats. If I end up in a middle seat I have to roll my shoulders in. If I’m in an aisle or window seat I have to lean away from the other person. Not comfy

They only run out of overhead room because dickbags put a carry-on and their personal item in the bin. Your personal item goes under the seat.

There’s a lot of jobs in the private and public sector for people with anthropology degrees. In the US, anthropology is taught as a four field approach encompassing Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Archaeology.

Each of the subfields have different levels of hireability based on a bachelor’s degree.

I personally only have a bachelor’s and live well. I have a home and live comfortably. But, to your point, I have essentially capped out my earnings. I can’t make more without obtaining a graduate degree.

This explains why people gave me a hard time for getting an anthropology degree…

Nuclear energy is both sustainable and safe. It was given a bad reputation by the fossil fuel industry to keep us buying oil.

Well here we are. We could have eliminated the vast majority of fossil fuel use by the 1960s when solar and wind energy were in their infancy.

And it’s a shame that we became scared of one of the greatest technologies we ever created.

Nuclear accidents have killed using the most extreme number 45,000 people. Directly meltdowns have killed less than 100. The middle ground estimates average out around 5,000, but let’s give the most extreme number possible for the sake of the argument. These numbers are including projected cancer rates.

Cars annually kill 1.19 million people in comparison.

Even if you were to add nuclear weapon usage to the numbers you’d still barely be close to these numbers. Plus every time there’s been an nuclear accident new technologies and safe guards are deployed. 40,000 of that estimated/projected death toll is from Chernobyl.

Pretty much, I struggle to see any real human achievement in my lifetime. Sure we invented phones and computers are faster than ever before. We haven’t really done anything worthwhile. No real improvements in the human condition.

We have fun content, but our planet is going to cook

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison to modern day.

People were experimenting with steam engines for 1,000 years sure, but this wasn’t 1,000 years of dedicated research.

It was more like someone discovered the principle, then someone re-discovered the same principle 200 years later in a different, and repeat. Every time interest was lost. It wasn’t until much later that people started to build off of each other and actually pursue technology.

When unions started they fought back. No strike is illegal

I hope workers one day remembers that when unions started they weren’t legal. They became legal through the blood of workers.

So main issue with this comment is the UK system allows for more than 2 choices.

Also some people no matter how intelligent just can’t fully grasp a new language. They can become functionally fluent but never academically perfect

You can spend 200 years listening to a language, but if you don’t try to understand it you never will
