So you're just a preteen yelling memes, you aren't capable of an actual conversation huh.

Bye kiddo

“Replacing your whole crew every few months isn’t realistic,” said Machia. “It takes time to train people, and locals just don’t want to do this work anymore.”

But he'd do it all over again. Cults are wild.

I mean, are we at the point where facts just don't matter? Are you saying there isn't protein in a burger?

I think we view skills differently. I don't see it as having to labor in my own time, I look at it as investing in my future so I can have a more comfortable life.

As bad as it is for you a Big Mac does have nutrition. There are things like protein and calcium in there.

My omelette came out really weird guys...

The other option is to hide and stay quiet, hoping to never draw their ire.

I'd rather not cower and rely on their grace to simply allow people to live.

Having been in the Marines you get oddly used to the "No Marines allowed" signs outside of base. It gets to the point where Marines would use clip on jewelry to try to fool places into letting them in.

But I mean it's a question of how you define food at that point. How would you define food?

1. To be good at your job and do well. Especially in tech where things can evolve quickly. Or just learn your job once and get left behind.
2. I like growing my skill because I like that I do and being better at it I can demand more money. I do this outside of my employer because I want to grow.
3. To be better at what you do, learn ways to avoid struggles you run into to make your life easier, explore tools that reduce mundane tasks to improve your quality of life, be able to demand more money by knowing skills or tools others don't. I mean a ton of reasons.

My picking .world is not a meaningful choice in my life, I put at much time into thinking about it as it deserved. My commenting and posting workflow aren't things that I need to get by, that can help me buy a house or food. Knowing emerging technologies that command a higher salary can. I literally learned the skills of my career on my own, online. I read books, I learned how to use tools, I grew. Now I make more money because of that. I wasn't sitting around waiting for for employer to pay for and make me get better at something. I don't get how this is such a hard thing to comprehend.

You think a guy who learned to be an electrician in the 90s and never leaned new tools of the trade is going to compete with someone who has? I mean maybe these whole power tools thing are a fad. Now take that to tech where things in the web and design space can move rapidly and you get left behind way faster, all because someone didn't make you get better? That's a wild take on life to me. I want to be good at what I do so I can demand a high salary and live a comfortable life. That's the end goal, having a comfortable life with a job that's as easy as you can get while feeling good about it and pays well. Learning and leveraging that knowledge is the way to get there.

I don't think that rolls off the tongue as well as fast food. Maybe it's the alliteration.

Eating food from birth till the day you die? Doesn't sound like living to me, sounds like an addiction.
