True, my brother has worked as an arborist, a mason, a landscaper, and a factory farm produce inspector/sorter, and he has told me he’d rather do those jobs than work twelve hour graveyard shifts in a semiconductor plant like I do. He says it would be too much mental BS to handle for him to want to do it. Physically a…
My dad does roofing, my brother did masonry for years before he quit for the sake of his lungs, and I worked summers through college with both of them. When you held up an electrician as your example of backbreaking labor, I shook my head. At least go with a roofer or a brick layer. Or for that matter, a miner or a…
So, instead of attacking you, I’m curious about your perspective. What I don’t understand is: why does it have to be one vs. the other? High-skill tradesmen make good money because their work requires both training and labor. High-skill software engineers make good money because their work requires both training and…
Guessing you’re either at a computer or on your smart phone? Thank an engineer, dumbass.
Um, bitterness much? I can personally attest that people work, and work hard for their money in tech. You forgo raises and big company benefits to join startups that might pay off, and of them don’t. We’re talking 100 hour weeks here. People work hard at this companies. The only people n making the money are the VCs,…
So, uh, I’m an academic - is that also not ‘real work’? From what I can understand you’re only classifying manual labour as a real job, and that’s leaving out like... 70% of the modern work force.
But can you manage the water filtration system for the city? How about the electrical grid? What about the cyber security keeping your bank account and medical records safe? Didn’t think so.
Good on your dad. Everyone sacrifices and does shit they don’t want to in the name of “work.” But to imply that only people that don’t perform significant physical tasks as “not working” isn’t just insulting, it’s fucking incorrect...
Not bashing electricians, my dad was one for a bit on build sites in the middle of WINTER and its physically taxing work. But yeah, screw that person. I’d like to see them create an encryption system for credit card transactions. Or critical infrastructure software and hardware.
Software development is engineering of a different type where your laboratory, workshop, proving ground, and production platform are all virtual.
But isn’t that the whole point? He exposed Piers Morgan last week and we’re still enjoying the Harry Potter lady tear him apart on Twitter. He isn’t giving Milo a platform or reinforcing as much as he is letting the world see what sort of slime ball he truly is. He had Tomi Lahren on too and she came off exactly as…
Kellyanne Conway Multipass?
But... but... Kate McKinnon didn’t even have the time to play him on SNL!
Y’all liberals think y’all are so smart with yer fancy rhymin’ words and book learnin’ and readin’ and sonnets and such. Y’all don’t know one thing about how real Americans think. Poemsetry should ought to have curse words in it, see? or it ain’t real poemsetry. Like take a look at this here poem like:
No they should! Pynchon was an engineer, DFW was a mathematician. Some of the best writing in my college writing classes came from science and math majors, people who bring different ideas and perspectives and aren’t quibbling over comma splices and formal rules. Keep at it!
