Well yeah, NA counter-strike is a joke

CNN and NYT were the major perpetuators of Levy's lies; this is not just a Republican problem.

Absolutely disgusting. The damage of these lies is already done.

Came here to say electrician. Or anything related to utility (gas, electric, water, Internet, transportation) maintenance. These are often "we need someone 365 days a year" jobs, because they are literally the ones maintaining infrastructure for the rest of us, but those jobs also pay well and are in demand everywhere there are people.

If you're not qualified for that stuff, consider starting with something like Flagging/traffic control. You'll start as the poor sap holding a sign in the rain, but you can study and eventually become the person who designs/approves the traffic control plans, etc etc. Pretty much all utility work requires traffic control.

Surveying/Right of Way/GIS, if you'd rather work in a cube

That doesn't seem like world news

I feel like a spectator at this point. Fully aware of how the system operates and powerless to affect change without grave consequences. Materially, I'm secure. Not reproducing, so I don't have offspring to care about their future. Fuck this timeline, maybe I'll get to return at a cooler time.

It's sci-fi with good character development and moral conundrums. It doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't rely on flashy graphics. The characters are supportive of each other. Like if you took utopian leftist drama kids and told them to make a sci-fi show about humanity trying to do it's best.

Poverty nostalgia?

Zelensky wasn't elected to be a wartime leader; his mandate from the public was to do the opposite. Perhaps he has won over some citizens during the conflict, but he owes it to the people of Ukraine to give them the choice to pursue peace.

Been thinking about the Klingon and Hirogen species recently (and I guess Ferengi to a lesser extent). How do cultures so devoted to hunting, killing, pride, and honor, have the infrastructure in place to become space-based empires? Like, it takes millions of people doing boring jobs like math and engineering to make space travel possible, but if they're all motivated by murder and glory, how do they accomplish anything on a grand scale?
