> There are people who make handmade watches in Switzerland

Very few of them, and if that’s what you want to be, you better start praying that you’ll be selected for one of the extremely limited apprenticeships available.

> its not like you're writing a story for yourself.

HN is filled to the brim with weak narcissists. Might want to readjust your priors

I think HN users should be forced to have 1) branded onto their skin.

Do you feel good about being a mouth breathing retard?

I don’t have the fucking money for lawfare in this economy.

> In many ways I'd say these people are arguably more sane than many of the "rational-minded" people here.

lol “noble savage” repackaged for Silicon Valley virtue signalers.

> US healthcare industry needs to drop more non-essential workers, and invest more in workers that produce value.

Only problem is you can’t destroy the jobs program. Someone pointed out to me that the job market is propped up nearly by healthcare alone.

For someone without and particular skills, credentials, network, medical industry jobs provide one of the last few steps to a stable, middle class life that’s also accessible to working class. In other words, it’s one of the last vessels for any sort of social mobility.

You could try I suppose, but you will be crushed by the old boy networks.

I’ve seen it happen time and time again. It shocked me a few times around a decade ago.

> Don't waste your time or mine by being a pedantic fuck trying to argue the etymology and applications of the word, this isn't high school debate class.

This is HN retard. It’s basically a high school debate class but with 40-50 year old Adderall addicts.

> Instead, you cant even buy kidney friendly cat food without an expensive Rx from a vet and tons of controls.

Meanwhile, half the flea treatment medications available OTC are straight up toxins to the cat.

We just need to get an LLM to diagnose them as mentally ill. Straight from the gospel and all.

If you say it, the government will label you an extremist.

We need eugenics to weed these people out of the gene pool.

How many of those girls are you raping though?

> Dividing people into "the left" and "the right" (or Republican / Democrat or whatever) as if it's over homogenous entity is very bad for any discourse.

It’s my quickest litmus test for intelligence (or lackthereof more appropriately)

Soon to be a “facilities engineer” lol

I saw a solution proposed yesterday: drop the bottom X% of students at every grade starting around middle school and put them in a work program. The X can be variable, I think the original post suggested that the percentage dropped grows into high school. Students would be allowed to re attempt when ready.

Or maybe if they were beat into timidness early on.
