    sorry, i’m stuck on the voting thing. i really want lemmy to be better than reddit, and the “dislike/downvote” thing has bugged the shit out of me since around 2008. i’ll drop it now, i’m sorry.

    going back to what’s important, the “winging it” part is the most horrifying. they didn’t even read the fucking book - they’re just taking from directions from the bald, evil, horrible miller that actually did.

        i don’t think you’re factoring in the past 30 years of anti-education sentiment in the usa. i don’t wonder about the fascists of the past. i wonder about the result we’re all seeing + 2020 covid kids and horrified is definitely the right word

          That’s a small generation compared the the millennials and gen X who are the most educated generations in history.

          You don’t worry about the right things. Stop talking shit about the younger generations. All the election numbers were false.

            please don’t for a second think that i’m talking shit about the next generations. if anything, i feel overly compelled to try to help them.

            i don’t think i’m worrying about the wrong things. i worry that one day i’ll find myself coding in an ER and the nurse will try to feed me bees because that’s what chatgpt said and she doesn’t know any better.

              We’re already past that. If insurance wants you to have bees you will have bees.

              We’re about to see an unprecedented break down in society. I’d recommend if you have two good brain cells to rub together, and are this frustrated already, get the fuck out of America. I’m leaving because I refuse to contribute to what is happening here. You sound young and able- go somewhere you can be confident your hard work actually matters. This isn’t and won’t be the country for that for a good ten, fifteen, maybe twenty years. Don’t waste your time in a bad place.

                i do indeed have at least two brain cells, and these three (i’m being generous) brain cells all live in canada, where they were born. and we don’t want you. you need to sort your shit, not flee.

                  That’s neither how history nor your country works. I already have a Canadian PR so “sorry”. Maybe I overestimated your intelligence.
