moose meat here is usually served with red wine sauce

#

and rosmary and thyme

nova ember
#

@somber belfry that is a way to describe it. In a similar way you could describe deer as:

An animal fed up to be killed and consumed. Sold all around the world

#

Lol

somber belfry
#

lmao

proven gorge
#

this will be a slow ook. We boil the meat on low temperature for several hours along with spices and some vegetables. Then it will be basically like pulled pork in consistency

stable pier
#

reduced red wine sauce sounds good

proven gorge
#

@nova ember Red deer is actually native to sweden, meaning it can survive the winter no problem. The meat we bought was from wild deer. They have been walking around living free in the swedish forest.

#

With wild meat you don't get the same issues you get from say cattle or pork

stable pier
#

made something with a berry+wine reduction recently but forgot what the fuck it was

#

AH

#

duck.

nova ember
#

Ah, alright. There are different variants and that one isn’t close to as common

proven gorge
#

You can have farmed deer as well, but again they can survive the climate so there is no need for em to be squeezed into a cramped building like cows for example

nova ember
#

The thing about it is that it’s much cheaper to do it like that

proven gorge
#

farmed deer is usually raised in quite wide pens. Deer behaviour makes it very easy to farm em as well (they are a very stationary species)

#

No

#

Why waste money on a building if you don't have to?

stable pier
#

should see if i can get some deer here tbh. we've got some wild deer in the area and i know they do culling

proven gorge
#

you only need fence

somber belfry
#

I think it's cheaper to not do anything

#

yeah

stable pier
#

deer for christmas would be nice

Deer is a bit gamey

proven gorge
#

I think you got both red deer and fallow deer in the UK

#

did i miss the pun there

proven gorge
#

never had fallow, but red deer is awesome

stable pier
#

🤔

nova ember
#

I mean, why not just skip eating animals?

somber belfry
#

something about game and game meat, i think

proven gorge
#

deer belong to a category of animals called game

small spoke
#

people describe food texture as gamey, but game is also hunted animals

proven gorge
#

in hunting language

stable pier
#

yeah, it's a game meat

proven gorge
#

Because some of us have to vester

stable pier
#

just not sure what joke michael was going for or if i missed it

proven gorge
#

allergic to all the vegetable protein sources

somber belfry
#

I mean, why not just skip eating animals?
@nova ember That is not how we play this game

small spoke
#

I'd love to try hunting

proven gorge
#

I do however have an environmental goal when I eat meat

stable pier
#

i can't eat gluten and while that doesn't mean i have to eat meat it makes things a whole lot easier

#

eating meat, that is

#

hunting's alright. i used to pop rabbits with my dad

proven gorge
#

wild meat is about twice as co2 efficient as vegetable based protein like soy and beans

nova ember
#

There are a lot of vegan sources of protein. Lentils, soya, mushrooms (?), peas, beans

stable pier
#

rabbits is a lot more "sit the fuck still and wait"

#

so closer to fishing

nova ember
#

It’s not

proven gorge
#

Yeah, I got something called baljväxtallergi

There are a lot of vegan sources of protein. Lentils, soya, mushrooms (?), peas, beans
@nova ember protein powder

nova ember
#

@nova ember That is not how we play this game
@somber belfry that is exactly how we play this game lol

proven gorge
#

that incorporates essentially all vegetable protein sources

small spoke
#

protein powder has whey in it

#

Which is made from milk

nova ember
#

There are different types

stable pier
#

sure, those are high protein food stuffs

small spoke
#

Yeah, but pea protein powder tastes foul

somber belfry
#

baljväxtallergi

legume allergy

stable pier
#

but do they have the texture or flavour of a good bit of fillet mignon?

somber belfry
#

bisk, I think there is also an ethical aspect

small spoke
#

If vegetables have protein rich sources, then imagine how much protein in an animal that only eats vegetables

stable pier
#

yeah, not for me.

small spoke

it's like with doing my bit for the environment

#

sure, i turn my lights off and do recycling

There is also the aspect that forest is being cut down to make room for soy plantations

stable pier

but car with big engine go vroom and i'm not giving that up

vegetable based diet is far from environmentally friendly

better that industrial meat, sure, but not friendly

@proven gorge cutting down forests to make room for farm animals lemon_pika

stable pier
#

well he's saying that farming plants is more dense than livestock

#

i think

small spoke
#

People are cutting down trees to make server farms, so we should all turn off our pcs

stable pier
#

they're actually not really

#

they build them by water sources

nova ember
#

I mean, it’s completely reasonable to value the taste. However if it’s one of the main causes of deforestation, co2 emissions and pollution, I think we need to at least consider a diet that relies less on meat. I’m not saying ditch it completely (even though that’s what I’ve done), but at least decrease the consumption of it

stable pier
#

or in high mountains

proven gorge
#

In principal I agree with you vester. however I do not agree that you lump up meat in one single category

#

there are different kinds of meats that are very different to the environment

#

cattle co2 emission: 26kg/kg meat
soy: 5kg/kg
moose: 2.6 kg/kg

small spoke
#

I eat chicken mostly, which is the least such co2 heavy

nova ember
#

There is also the aspect that forest is being cut down to make room for soy plantations
@proven gorge the soy that is being grown in these places is almost exclusively for feeding livestock animals. In fact, if we stopped eating meat and switched to more plant based diets, we could decrease the area needed for growing plants drastically and still feed more than the entire world

#

With no rain forests being cut down

proven gorge
#

Based on those numbers I have decreased my industrial meat consumption severely. I mostly eat wild meat nowadays

stable pier
#

i don't see why my project isn't being taken seriously though

#

hang on, let me diagram it

final sable
#

Art man at it again!

proven gorge
#

bisk diagrams

somber belfry
#

Non-industrial meat does not require cutting down of forests, yes?

nova ember
#

@proven gorge I think we have a very similar view on this fundamentally, but there are a few aspects that we don’t quite view the same

proven gorge
#

@somber belfry Moose don't require you to cut down forest no

somber belfry
#

Let's all meat in the middle

#

and agree to disagree

We could decrease co2 emission in meat eating and humanity by engaging in cannibalism

I think I read that one

If they have not changed it since I was in gymnasium I think it is part of one of the english courses

english 2 or something like that

somber belfry
#

what the hell

#

really?

small spoke
#

It's in Gulliver's travels I think

nova ember
#

Yeah, I think that’s where we read it. Or maybe in grade 9

#

(That’s not the same as grade 9 in most other countries)

proven gorge
#

I remember it from gymnasium so I assume it was during one of the gymnasium courses

nova ember
#

Yeah. We could’ve read it at different times

small spoke
#

Galileo also said that Mars has 2 moons because Earth has 1 and Jupiter has 4, therefore it only made rational sense

#

Fair logic

I think making 14 year olds read why we should make boots out of infants skin would be a bit too much xD

I guess you can call it that there then, but that's not a way it's used here

when u say "vest" most people don't mean** innerwear**

nova ember
#

You could be in a majority though. I don't know 🙃

rotund swallow

this is what google says

a sleeveless garment for the upper body usually worn over a shirt. b : a protective usually sleeveless garment (such as a life preserver) that extends to the waist.

#

Do you mean a wasitcoat?

#

A waistcoat in BrE (/ˈwɛskət/ or /ˈweɪstkoʊt/; colloquially called a weskit), or vest in AmE, is a sleeveless upper-body garment. It is usually worn over a dress shirt and necktie and below a coat as a part of most men's formal wear.

I couldn't make out a couple words lol

@slow valve so whats the status

Since this is where I share all my strange graphics today (sorry ak), I'll share this idea I had as well

@nova ember ohh, u good at drawing?

slow valve
#

so I ran a cmd in linux

#

python3 --version

#

and it gave Python 3.8.5

#

how can I use Python

steel eagle
#

how do you think?

#

you literally just ran the python command

slow valve
#

I don't want to use on terminal

steel eagle
#

download an editor?

rotund swallow
#

then where do u want to use it?

#

download an editor?
ya

steel eagle
#

python is a terminal-based application

#

on any platform

slow valve
#

ok

#

3.9 still not for linux right

steel eagle
#

3.9 is for any platform

slow valve
#

How can I update it then

steel eagle
#

but your package repo might not have the latest version available

#

you'll need to compile it yourself

#

or add a third party repo that has it available

slow valve
#

eh I will just use 3.8 for now to get my project done

#

should I go with stable or dev sublime?

steel eagle
#

do you want a stable editor

#

or new features

slow valve
#

stable

steel eagle
#

there you go

slow valve
#

new features that are not released as stable right

#

that is dev?

steel eagle
#

yes

slow valve
keen burrow
#

I'd say yes

slow valve
#

okay

#

after running all the cmds would I have to reboot?

keen burrow
#

Nah

slow valve
#

I will find the sublime text editor in?

tranquil ridge
#

@slow valve dude, listen to me and get pyenv, you will not regret it

#

and to install sublime

#

yay -S sublime-text

slow valve
#

I already ran cmds to download sublime

tranquil ridge
#

ok

#

but just saying, use pyenv if you want multiple python versions

#

google how to install pyenv

slow valve
#

no I don't want multiple python versions

tranquil ridge
#

you just said you want python 3.9..

slow valve
#

why is it taking so much time to download sublime?

jovial island
#

installed linux?

slow valve
#

Norr

#

win got deleted lol

#

Long Story

jovial island
#

rip

tranquil ridge
#

@slow valve are you building it from source kek

jovial island
#

anyways get used to linux

slow valve
#

currently backing up data

#

of win

#

and then install manjaro fresh

jovial island
#

ok

slow valve
#

with all the space to manjaro

#

I like how Meganz called Recycling bin Rubbish Bin xD

#

is google making gmail paid?

tranquil ridge
#

no lol

slow valve
#

I saw the news but I think it is fake xD

tranquil ridge
#

obviously its fake lol, i will just stop using google if that happens, i don think google can get that stupid

slow valve
#

dropbox gives how much gb space for free?

jovial island
#

gmail is evil

#

literally takes up 500mb of ram to load the site

steel eagle
#

LOL what

#

that's defo not true

slow valve
#

use the HTML option that comes in the corner lol

#

Sublime still not downloaded 🤦

jovial island
#

still going up

somber belfry
#

what

slow valve
#

ugh

jovial island
#

gmail service

slow valve
#

everything about google is ram chugging lol

#

does downloading sublime take this long?

tranquil ridge
#

@slow valve how did you start the installation desu

#

you are def building it from source

slow valve
#

yup

tranquil ridge
#

why

#

bruh

#

if u dont build it from source it takes 6-7 seconds

#

:/

slow valve
#

curl -O https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg && sudo pacman-key --add sublimehq-pub.gpg && sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 8A8F901A && rm sublimehq-pub.gpg

🤦‍♂️

#

should have done -S

slow valve
#

I am new to linux what do you expect from me

tranquil ridge
#

you should have asked me lemon_sentimental

slow valve
#

sudo pacman -S sublime-text?

#

No one was there

somber belfry
#

pacman -Syu
will update all the packages in your system

#

you should do that

#

first

tranquil ridge
#

oh, i thought he did that already

slow valve
#

@somber belfry I am not doing that for 1 reason

#

bcuz I will start fresh anyway after my backup

somber belfry
#

pacman -S sublime-text will install sublime text

#

pacman -Syu sublime-text will update all the packages in your system and install sublime text

slow valve
#

F

#

so how long I wait

#

I fkin need to make my project file lol

somber belfry
#

it will definitely not take more than one hour

#

it'll take you 30 minutes

slow valve
#

ok

#

so it is updating all the packages

#

I had like 273 something to update

#

would I need to reboot

tranquil ridge
#

it will take some time to update all packages, and thats necessary desu

slow valve
#

#

so can you show your customized Linux guys

slow valve
#

I told you

#

I will start fresh in 2-3 days

tranquil ridge
#

why do u want sublime then

slow valve
#

to complete my project file duh

tranquil ridge
#

just open it in mouse pad then duh

somber belfry
#

you can still update arnav. I recommend it.
Your packages could break otherwise

slow valve
#

ok I will do it from the package manager

#

btw

#

to run script I do?

#

python <filename>.py?

tranquil ridge
#

to run what script? python script?

#

you have to cd to the folder first

slow valve
#

yea ok

tranquil ridge
#

cd Projects_folder

#

then python filename.py

jovial island
#

True

#

I’m just started to learn and going through a python crash course book

slow valve
#

@tranquil ridge I have a Python Projects folder on the desktop

jovial island

Well maybe when I’m done I’ll mail you my book

tranquil ridge

cd to it

slow valve

jovial island
#

Want to work on one together?

#

Just create one. Something simple to learn and possibly publish.

#

I’d say maybe a game or a simple script

#

Can you say the whole acronym?

#

I might have

slow valve
#

Object Oriented Programming

jovial island
#

Yes

slow valve
#

classes and stuff

jovial island
#

Ty

#

Ohhh quiz

#

Just messing

#

But

#

Instances are in the class and give it defining characters inherent to that class

slow valve
#

@jovial island classes are like blueprint and instances are objects of that class

jovial island
#

Bad definition? I learned about it building a class for cars and electric cars

slow valve
#

so basically instances and objects are same thing

#

yea but you can understand like that

#

so suppose weapon is a class

#

then the part of that weapon maybe be refereed as objects and maybe the type of weapon is instance

jovial island
#

Right okay

#

I understand I said it bad I guess

#

I’d say using “parts” as term for instances is a little off. My thought was it as characters or attributes to a specific object or objects

#

Like I learned self.miles in a class for Cars in an instance which wouldn’t make it exactly a part

rotund swallow
#

ohh @full summit i didn't know your team placed top 3 in both of the jams that u guys competed in.
That's impressive

full summit
#

haha thanks

radiant socket
#

attributes aren't instances @jovial island

jovial island
#

@radiant socket shit okay. Can you explain it to me? Like let’s use his example of a class for Guns. Class Gun. Attributes would be the barrel size or mag size? Then when you create an instance you create the class?

#

Howdy

rotund swallow

"class is blueprint to make weapons
and instance is the constructed weapons"

upbeat sandal
#

hi

wicked hollow
#

even though we can draw a distinction between CS and SE, I think some institutions pick one of the two names somewhat arbitrarily and teach whatever blend of CS theory and software design stuff they feel like.
@upbeat sandal I think that's definitely true, in part because SE is a bullshit engineering, because no one has figured out how to do this well yet.

upbeat sandal
#

@wicked hollow you just have to make classes and encaps it and single responsibility

wicked hollow
#

it's not "engineering", not really, because in engineering your artisinal, bespoke solutions would get you fired from your firm. People figured out 2 or 3 good ways to build bridges, and everyone uses one of them.

upbeat sandal
#

I'm presenting some stuff to the upper-level engineering faculty this week and I'm already stressing over how much shared vocabulary there will really be with the non-CS crowd.

#

when I say "presenting to the upper-level engineering faculty", I mean I'm going to present my slides to the dean and she's going to give me a pat on the head.

#

and that's probably about it.

wicked hollow
#

heh

#

to be clear, I think SE is probably more useful than CS if you want a job in industrydoing software development. Actual CS isn't that useful outside of academia, frankly. Knowing how to divide behavior between classes is more useful than knowing how to implement a parser, or traverse a graph, or understand finite automata...

upbeat sandal
#

anyway, CS is definitely the odd one out. But it's still applying science and math to design stuff.

#

well, I agree that graph traversal or DFAs aren't useful for designing software in industry

#

as for whether or not certain things are only useful in academia, well, academia has its place

wicked hollow
#

sure, absolutely. I have friends who are academics, and we have much fun laughing about their tiny salaries and abusive relationships their PIs.

#

😄

upbeat sandal
#

@wicked hollow next you're going to tell me that you have friends who belong to other marginalized groups

wicked hollow
#

Yes, academia is useful, but - a bachelor's degree ought to prepare you for something other than a masters' degree. And I don't think a CS degree does, not very well at least.

upbeat sandal
#

no, it doesn't

#

people sign up for CS degrees because they want to go to programming trade school

#

and the alternative is to do online coding bootcamps that everyone laughs at

wicked hollow
#

yeah. And realistically, a programming trade school would be a better use of their time and money in lots of cases.

upbeat sandal
#

I'm glad I took the traditional CS route because the research I've done is valuable

#

but if I didn't get to do research, I'd very much doubt the value of all this

slow valve
#

Is CS Degree worth?

upbeat sandal
#

@slow valve that's a very strong "depends" from me

wicked hollow
#

the bootcamp situation is interesting. A CS degree doesn't prepare people well for a software development job in industry, so large companies have large training departments designed to teach CS graduates how to write maintainable software. My impression is that bootcamps don't produce worse developers, just developers with different blind spots - all theory, no practice, versus all practice, no theory.

slow valve
#

How much does CS Degree affect job opportunities

azure current
#

Yes, academia is useful, but - a bachelor's degree ought to prepare you for something other than a masters' degree. And I don't think a CS degree does, not very well at least.
@wicked hollow Degrees are massively overrated

#

We should be moving away from degrees as a necessity

#

They are good for academia and a select few fields where you need a specific curriculum/education

wicked hollow
#

it is much easier to get a job in industry given a degree, as things stand today. I know professional developers without degrees, but I know a lot more professional developers with degrees. There is an easier path to a job in industry with a degree.

azure current
#

I'm talking more broadly

#

That something needs to change because the idea having a degree makes you good at working (in most professions) is absolute garbage

wicked hollow
#

oh, I agree with you in a the broad, societal sense.

#

but if Arnav's reason for asking is "I want to be a programmer, should I get a CS degree".... well, it's complicated.

azure current
#

It needs big companies to stop hiring based on degrees

slow valve
#

I think degree should not matter the capabilities of that person and how much he knows should matter

azure current
#

In all fields

wicked hollow
#

I'd say "yes, at a university with mandatory internships". My school had 3 mandatory 6 month internships over a 5 year program, and I think they made all the difference between it being worthwhile and not. I graduated with a much better appreciation for what I was getting into, and an understanding of what I enjoy and don't, and skills that were much better than my peers from other schools.

azure current
#

Unless you are working in a more senior role I don't even think how much you know matters

#

The biggest thing in a job is how quickly you can learn

#

And how well you actually work

wicked hollow
#

yes, once you have the job - but for getting hired, as things stand today...

slow valve
#

Yea internships paid or non paid are good way to learn

azure current
#

And frankly by the time you're senior enough for what you know to matter, your degree no longer does

slow valve
#

and know the working environment

azure current
#

Unpaid internships should be illegal

#

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL THEIR FREEDOM

#

WORK BITCHES WORK

slow valve
#

Well not illegal if it is with the consent of the person doing it

azure current
#

No

#

It should still be illegal

fluid plank
#

lmao

#

it is illegal

slow valve
#

xD what

fluid plank
#

and should be

azure current
#

The same way that a minimum wage shouldn't be able to be circumvented

#

Because then it becomes defacto the standard

fluid plank
#

xD what
@slow valve you dont get it

azure current
#

You shouldn't have a system which encourages people to debase themselves like that

fluid plank
#

imagine getting work and not being paid

storm birch
#

I would pay someone to give me pro experience at this point

fluid plank
#

internships are like that i guess

azure current
#

Or which lends itself to people with ample means being able to get the opportunities because they can afford not to be paid

#

Welcome to the "rich get richer" attitude which America has taken to extremis

slow valve
#

It is technically illegal but not declared illgeal

azure current
#

They've convinced you that it is normal and acceptable to do unpaid work

upbeat sandal
#

well, I do put in quite a bit of time to (hopefully) helping out around here for free

storm birch
#

Or which lends itself to people with ample means being able to get the opportunities because they can afford not to be paid
this is a really interesting topic and there are actually good studies on this. Particularly on racial discrepancies in journalists

upbeat sandal
#

what's the difference?

wicked hollow
#

it's legal, under some relatively restricted circumstances. Unpaid internships are only legal if the company doesn't benefit from your work, essentially.

fluid plank
#

i see

slow valve
#

Yea

upbeat sandal
#

how do they determine whether or not they benefit?

storm birch
#

what's the difference?
@upbeat sandal pydis is a bad example, I get paid in hemlock's soothing voice

upbeat sandal
#

and how do they have to prove that they don't benefit?

slow valve
#

Well they find loop holes

upbeat sandal
#

hemlock's soothing voice
@storm birch implying that my voice isn't soothing

slow valve
#

So they make illegal legal

upbeat sandal
#

banend

slow valve
#

If you know what I mean

azure current
#

Helping out here is totally incomparable to an unpaid internship

#

If you stopped it wouldn't affect you materially

storm birch
#

@upbeat sandal I was genuinely going to include you in the list, but the hemlock thing made for a better one-liner

azure current
#

If you decided to just walk away from an unpaid internship 100% a company will probably blackball you

upbeat sandal
#

@storm birch keep your eyes on the ot names. That's all I'm gonna say.

wicked hollow
#

how do they determine whether or not they benefit?
@upbeat sandal Essentially, unpaid internships are supposed to be a way for companies to train new workers up. But they must be used as a training program, not as unpaid labor. Interns must be losing the company money, rather than making the company money. Basically.

#

But yes, this is obviously hard to enforce.

storm birch
#

LOL, ot name threats

upbeat sandal
#

it's not really a threat. I just added an ot name to memorialize what you said.

wicked hollow
#

a company will probably blackball you
Blackballing isn't really blackballing if it's one company, FWIW. The thing that makes blackballing bad even in a capitalist system is that it's anticompetitive; companies that are competitors collude to all avoid hiring someone.

azure current
#

The reasons to have unpaid internships are basically non-existent

#

Blackballing isn't really blackballing if it's one company, FWIW. The thing that makes blackballing bad even in a capitalist system is that it's anticompetitive; companies that are competitors collude to all avoid hiring someone.
@wicked hollow You think companies don't talk?

#

Good luck explaining that gap on your CV when you were slaving at an unpaid internship that went bad.

storm birch
#

well the reason is that companies that would not otherwise hire someone with such little experience, will essentially hire someone to give them more experience. It becomes a necessity when the system becomes so competitive.

fluid plank
#

🧃 + c

azure current
#

well the reason is that companies that would not otherwise hire someone with such little experience, will essentially hire someone to give them more experience. It becomes a necessity when the system becomes so competitive.
@storm birch Pay them though

#

Unpaid work should not be necessary to get a job

storm birch
#

well, many companies literally would not hire otherwise, so the position would just be nonexistent if they had to pay

azure current
#

If you have been convinced otherwise you are foolish

storm birch
#

Unpaid work should not be necessary to get a job
I very much agree with this though

@wicked hollow You think companies don't talk?
@azure current By and large, yeah. Companies don't take their competitors' advice about who they should hire.

azure current
#

I mean that's what references literally are

#

I've never had a job that didn't require them

wicked hollow
#

do you think companies give references? 😄

#

is this in the USA?

azure current
#

No

wicked hollow
#

Wales, perhaps, heh

#

on the other hand, if a company hired me to do devops for them, their entire system would be destroyed in a matter of hours.

So I need work experience. But no one should pay me to be bad.

So an "apprenticeship" makes sense

#

it is also a system that is as old as economies

if you want to be a blacksmith, you dont get paid to do what the local blacksmith can do 100x better. Instead, you are paid by the experience of being an apprentice, maybe a little money thrown in, with the goal that you are experienced enough someday to do the job yourself

wicked hollow
#

so - in the US, references aren't really a thing anymore, because companies are terrified of libel lawsuits if they say anything subjective about your time there. So, in practice, all any company will say is "So and so worked here from 2010 to 2015", and maybe "and was paid $x per year"

@storm birch But if the blacksmith wants a good apprentice, he should pay

People need to start valuing themselves ffs

why should nasa pay undergrads to stand around and stare at their windtunnel? they could easily hire someone with a masters+ to do a better job for them

azure current

Instead of being allowed/encouraged to debase themselves for no pay

#

why should nasa pay undergrads to stand around and stare at their windtunnel? they could easily hire someone with a masters+ to do a better job for them
@storm birch They should be paying to invest in talented grads..

storm birch
#

maybe the blacksmith should, but that has never been how it actually is. Historically it is a privileges to learn from someone with experience.

azure current
#

Not hiring grads to do something pointless

upbeat sandal
#

@storm birch I'm not sure what specific wages you have in mind, but I don't think saying people with more experience deserve to be paid more is controversial

wicked hollow
#

But no one should pay me to be bad.
Ya know, that's driven by the market, in a capitalist society. They shouldn't pay you to be bad if they could pay someone else to be good, but if they can't, then it's a perfectly rational move on their part to pay you to be bad in belief that they can make you become good.

the real question is where the floor should be.

azure current
#

The floor should be a living wage

#

Anything else is literally awful

storm birch
#

well, in california, a livable wage is like 60K salary, and no company is going to pay that for someone who cant really do their job fully

upbeat sandal
#

that's an upstream problem, then

storm birch
#

if I made 60k here, I would MAYBE be able to afford a mobile home in a trailer park

celest field
#

A condo for me, at least here

storm birch
#

yeah, I could maybe find a condo haha

#

but like, 2.5K a month for a one bedroom, no company is going to pay that to someone without experience, which is why we have minimum wage and unpaid internships

wicked hollow
#

there absolutely are companies in California that pay 60K to people who can't really do the job

upbeat sandal
#

the government and the economy as a whole need to serve the needs of the people, and if paying someone for a minimum standard of living isn't feasible for a large portion of a population (let alone even a single able person), that's a system-wide problem.

That's a lot lol. I'm talking like 150k condo. That's livable by 50k+ wage.

storm birch
#

@wicked hollow lolol, well yeah, but that is another problem LOL

azure current
#

I'd argue there are probably a lot of people who can't do their job properly being paid a lot more than that

upbeat sandal

@dense chasm we're having a conversation about something else. see if there's another ot channel available.

In so many ways America is a failed state.

wicked hollow
#

"failed state" has a pretty specific meaning that does not apply to America.

upbeat sandal
#

the government still has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force in the minds of the majority of Americans

wicked hollow
#

yeah, that. a failed state is one where the government has lost control over territory.

upbeat sandal
#

would I be optimistic about America if current trends hold? not really

storm birch
#

upbeat sandal
#

however I think this election has proven that our democracy is even more secure than we thought

wicked hollow
#

I don't disagree with the broader point about where America is on a good trajectory or is a post-capitalist hellscape, but it's not a failed state. 🙂

storm birch
#

all lovely sentiment

upbeat sandal
#

the current president can't prove that any election fraud has occurred anywhere in the country, in the largest election we've ever had.

storm birch
#

how did this get political xD

azure current
#

Inability to provide public services

#

I'd argue america fits this part

upbeat sandal
#

inability, or choosing not to because of an underinformed electorate?

wicked hollow
#

"The president now has more flagged tweets than electoral votes", heh

upbeat sandal
#

by underinformed, I mean willfully ignorant.

storm birch
#

I would love to get any internship haha, they are ALL so competitive that it just makes sense for companies not to pay.

Is this a horrible shortcoming of capitalism? Probably

azure current
#

No its a shortcoming of America's obsession with deregulation

wicked hollow
#

how did this get political xD
We hit rallying for a living wage and anti-capitalism a while ago. It's been political for a minute. 😉

azure current
#

You can have capitalism and still have regulation of things like minimum wages

wicked hollow
#

sure, fine - restraints on capitalism.

upbeat sandal
#

No its a shortcoming of America's obsession with deregulation
@azure current exactly. America probably has the power to provide any American citizen with any necessity. We just choose not to.

wicked hollow
#

I live in the poorest major city in the richest country in history. 🤷

upbeat sandal
#

That's a design flaw. It doesn't mean we lack the ability to provide services.

If America couldn't get clean water even if it wanted to, that would be one thing

#

(and I know Flint is a terrible counterexample)

wicked hollow
#

heh, beat me to it

storm birch
#

lol, flint was just on a power trip

upbeat sandal
#

I don't know the details of that situation but my understanding is that it was poor planning and a heavy dose of disregard for the locals.

storm birch
#

yeah, pretty much

wicked hollow
#

Flint is still a mess, is the interesting thing about that. The water system was so badly damaged that 6 years later they still don't have clean water.

azure current
#

I just don't know how so many people can be persuaded that wage suppression is good for them

wicked hollow
#

And it's not the worst city for water safety in the country, just the most famous.

azure current
#

Like, "but if we had a minimum wage small businesses would go under/be unable to afford staff"

#

Maybe that's a sign your business is not viable

upbeat sandal

@azure current so I'm in a bit of an awkward spot: I only get paid ten dollars an hour for my research, but the fact that I get to do it at the expense of any other undergrad who could have this position and get the experience makes it worth it to me

#

but I also have other income

azure current
#

Avoiding the failure of your business due to the market deciding it's not really viable by not paying your workers is some serious mental gymnastics for lovers of a free-market

upbeat sandal
#

and I don't actually know how much I could be paid before the university decides that undergrads can't do research

#

that's a bit of an edge case though

wicked hollow
#

well, sorta. Academia is practically slave labor, but it's such a tiny portion of the overall economy that it's not an interesting area to focus on.

azure current
#

@upbeat sandal That's a shambles in the US where Universities are basically megacorp money farms

wicked hollow
#

how are universities tied to megacorps?

storm birch
#

they do behave similarly imo

wicked hollow
#

I think it's the opposite - universities are subsidized by public money, not private.
