I’m not trying to justify or leap to any defense, just trying to understand myself.

But I’m kind of getting the feeling that they are trying to do a catch-all.

For all practical purposes, if it was a free-for-all of people treating airports like public forums, it just keeps sliding. The reason the airport is there is to facilitate people’s travel, travelers don’t want to be annoyed by constant destractions, let’s face it, customs and enforcement wants the least amount of chaos. The airport doesn’t want to bear the continual cost of extra staff to manage. Police don’t want to have a hotspot of constant nuisance calls.

I think this type of post really inflames people, but in a way it seems to have practical purpose. I’m not even sure that it implies that free speech is not allowed in the airport. Just like tacitly… Dear annoying assholes that hide behind Free Speech, go stand here.

100% accurate.

I find myself literally uttering the phrase “I’m going to need you to stop looking at your phone and do your job” minimum twice a week.

Germans itt be like… vanilla ball-nailing pr0n… yawn

Lol

Apparently this was not boner porn nor wap porn.

By the retelling, its was nailing balls to a step stool kind of porn.

This would never fly in today’s era. Nor should it.

But about two decades ago I dated a gastroenterologist… I think she had around 13 years of schooling.

Anyways, her first day of med school, they made the entire class watch gay porn. Like vicious, graphic, excessively graphic gay porn.

With of course the professor saying if this makes you uncomfortable, you’d best find a new track. Because you ain’t going to make it, this is going to be your life: assholes, boils, pus, cancer, shit, piss, if you’re going to be a gastroenterologist you’re going to have your head up people’s asses your whole career…

Etc

I’m actually not being sarcastic!

I’ve kind of learned after 20 plus years on various social medias… Honestly going back even before that, to the BBS days.

You just kind of realize after a point, not everybody’s voice is equal, most people should just shut the fuck up and have no reason to ever be heard.

I honestly feel that no one should ever be shy to block someone if they don’t like the bullshit, the tone, anything they say, the way they think…

Hell, block me if you don’t like my loudmouth attitude!

Life gets easier on Lemmy when you block like a mother effer LOL

But really read what the guys saying. 2 and 3 are basically the same thing.

Oh yeah no job? Just go become a start-up founding engineer. Problem, bud?

It’s delusional idiocy. All of it.

Edit to extrapolate on my underlying, unspoken point

I think there’s an elephant in the room that’s very difficult for people to accept: the era of semi-qualified people getting jobs straight out of school went bye-bye and it’s never coming back.

If you’re not the top five or 10 being scouted actively in your graduating class, you’re basically doomed. Further to that, if you haven’t been scouted, you’re not the kind of person who has the skill to do any of the other suggestions the man puts forward.

I don’t want to speak in such dark terms but I’ve lived this life. It’s game over for people who aren’t eating, breathing, and shitting tech every minute of their life.

It’s deranged advice.

About 1% of cs grads are able to innovate something and start a company. And 97% of them will fail in a year.

I lived through the 1st big tech “startup” thing, I was involved in many myself, it’s no little game you play

It’s how you end up $140,000 in debt, and unable to make your lease payments because your major customer just fucked you over, because their main customer just went into bankruptcy, because Paramount put a moratorium on Star Trek franchise licensing to prevent brand dilution.

You don’t fuck around and just decide you’re going to start a tech business and everything is gold… Like at least get a couple years working in a few failed startups to see exactly what the pitfalls are

Can’t get work after graduation? Perhaps you squandered your time and came out of school with nothing to show and you’re not able to stand above your contemporaries. Sucks and maybe you should have tried harder.

Tech is a vicious game. Nobody kid themselves please I’m begging you

Edit. If you’re not walking out with your degeee in one hand and a fully fledged, innovative, killer product in the other, you’re already finished. Even then you can have investors lined up like salivating dogs, and still fail in a spectacular explosion

Friendly reminder to everybody here, you can and should block users. Try it now!

I’m glad for this thread because I use duck duck Go but I hate it. Become trash in the last year.

The man loves his cannonball adderly!

Thank you for my reminder to block at least 1 Lemmy idiot each day

Meh.

Once again though, this is a meaningless garbage article designed to rage bait people, it’s not something anybody’s going to talk about, we’ve already spent more time arguing about the web page than the content.

Remember me

Don’t be that smart ass that thinks he’s cool and guarding some super secret information, and he only speaks in riddles and leading questions.

Everybody knows where that plastic went.

I’ve ranted in various places over the years but it’s 100% true in my city in Canada.

Decades ago we built a massive publicly-funded recycling system because the City could actually draw profit from the collection and sale of materials.

But about 15 years ago China stopped buying the waste, and it became a new shell-game of collecting the material but literally unable to do anything with it or sell it, so any that does get sold mostly ends up in the down-stream recycling economy, where the bulk of it ends up being burned. The rest goes into the regular old landfill. Even waste cardboard has no value anymore.

People who separate recycling in our city now, are just pre-sorting it for the waste management company and keeping it out of their regular waste (profit) stream.

We do have our ewaste centers but knowing people that work there, I can say anecdotally I’ve been informed that the metal and rare metal waste is collected and sent for processing in Ontario, the rest of the bits (all the plastic which is 90% of eWaste) goes into the regular waste stream where it’s buried or burned, but never recycled.

Notice how Pepsi and Coke don’t use recycled plastic? If that doesn’t condemn the whole recycling “meme” as a sham, I don’t know what would.

IDGAF about the topic the post is discussing, and I don’t need an article. I was more than fine with a quick, scannable version of what’s happening so I can forget all about it. I don’t know what you’re all triggered on. It’s a low-content low-effort highly-viral anti-AI anti-capitalism rage bait garbage post and it deserves no effort on the part of the writer or reader IMO.

This is the one time I’m gonna be that jagweed and say I liked it. I’ve never once been on TikTok and I never will. But I was happy to see it in logical and streamlined format. I didn’t feel the need to click on anything. Nothing got in the way… no oppressive popups, members-only, ads, etc. How sad is it that as much as you guys are complaining, and you have the right to your opinions, I found it to be one of the cleanest web pages I’ve seen in months.
