I have two friends who recently graduated with electrical engineering degrees, and they can’t find work where they live. If you’re able to apply across the country and move, that may give you better results, but they are both now looking for jobs outside of their degree focus. One is actually doing IT for the university he earned his EE BS from, but there’s no opportunity for growth there because it’s an incredibly tiny school and community.

It’s been over a decade since I worked in tech, but experience was king. I’m earning a degree in biology now, because by the time I left Microsoft I knew how easy it would be to automate my job

As a fellow flat-footed human that prefers putting weight on one foot, you might need to get over-protonation insoles. I’ve found they really force me to put weight on both feet and they do protect your ankles as well. I have been happy with PowerStep Maxx in the past, but it’s been a couple years since I purchased new ones.

I’ve also been told by a podiatrist to get Hoka shoes, but that’s outside my price range lol

“forest spirit in autumn” I wrapped some silk flowers and leaves onto a headband with suede cord, glued pieces of the remainder to my face and body, and wore flowy clothes that I already own.

Cost: $5.88

He put his hand on my lower back after puberty, where before he’d just hold my hand. I should probably have clarified that. My dad was not an affectionate man.

This was also in the early 00s when purity balls were common, so having attended one of those I definitely feel like his hand placement was possesive

My mother did not. My father may have, but what I remember is when I was older and he started putting his hand on my back when we were out together. That was weird and possesive

My parents did not love me lol

Bill Gates knows better than most that there’s enough money in the world to try and tackle both climate change and poverty, and still leave him a billionaire.

I think the wording that really bugs me in his quote is “healthy and productive life”. If all the alarms are true we’re already fucked on climate, so he’s concerned about maintaining a labor force.

Here is the study.

This was such a complex study, if I’m reading it correctly. Ultimately they ruled out other parts of the vaccine to find what was causing the immune response “reset”, and found it was only the mRNA that was eliciting the response.

My dog and I were attacked last year by an off-leash dog while walking our neighborhood. Both myself and the other owner had to provide proof of rabies vaccination to animal control. Their dog drew blood on me and mine punctured the other dog’s ear while defending me. If they couldn’t provide proof, or if there was history of previous human bites the dog would have been put down. In my state, anyway.

The vaccine I usually hear people turning down out here is the rattlesnake venom vaccine.

By the time I was a teenager I had some idea that what was happening to me wasnt “normal” but I didn’t understand just how bad it was until I was an adult. My peers would sometimes stare in shock at what I was complaining about, but I think if an adult had tried to intervene I might have understood the severity of my parent’s actions.

Young me was fairly terrified of everything, but I think we would bond over music. I work with teens that have similar issues now, so I know I’d at least be able to put myself at ease lol

Countries with extensive cctv networks still have lots of crime, almost like surveillance is the wrong answer to lowering crime or something

Top center is Timothée Chalamet (Dune). No idea who the rest are though

Comically, this didn’t work for the Tiger King

He did say his opinion is the only one that matters yesterday.

He’s the CEO of the United States, and the shareholders no longer have the ability to oust him

I went back and forth between something I typically listen to everyday like Spiritbox, and something I love but don’t listen to all the time like Blank Banshee.

Blank Banshee won, Frozen Flame

This is maybe an odd choice, but I’d make Cher listen to it. She was the first major artist to use autotune (in my memory at least). So maybe she’d be more open to the heavily technology-dependent parts of vaportrap too

I agree with you, I was just sharing what I knew of the process. My grandpa was rejected in a different state, but they were kind enough to cremate him for us.

There are a few reasons that I know of: Heavy bodies are more difficult to move, fat bodies take longer to dissect, and large bodies don’t always fit on the (usually decades-old) tables.

I think that weight is a disqualification that’s been changing in recent years, because even in Europe bodies are starting to trend larger. But it’s still something to keep in mind if you live in like Mississippi and think the University of Mississippi will take your 350 pound grandpa when he passes on.

I think it’s implying the opposite, that they abused their body so much during life that they no longer qualify to be donated. Weight is one of the major disqualifiers for whole-body donation.

The vast majority of bodies go to medical institutions for surgical training, with a smaller percent going to research

This same facility had an explosion in 2014 that resulted in death. The fact that they didn’t learn from that and chose to continue to be reckless is sad and infuriating.

The quote also says it was a professor at Columbia, which is one of the universities the administration has been bullying lol
