This is a great post. I’m mid-30s and toying with a career change. If life’s good to you, you at least can exhale and review options, but no, generally studying (or practicing, whatever) is not going to be that kind of a wage multiplier, unless you are cherry picking (and/or discounting some serious debt). It can help make your job suck less though. I think probably just as lucrative is always being ready to change employers for a raise. But, I don’t have experience with that so I may be talking out my ass there.

Is this like, taking the power out of the word or something?

What would be the training data then?

be bankrupted by a chronic medical diagnosis

That’s where my mind went too

What’s your excuse

Oh shit, obligatory chat GPT ass-text

You have a point that there’s a huge difference in the life of a minimum wage family and a family able to invest 6 figures. Context matters though and I think the point was that they didn’t have an overwhelming amount that can force success; we’re talking about a financial-secure and supported start that enables pursuit of things that are unlikely to pan out. Still no small luxury, by any means.

even if mathematically their finances are closer to minimum wage earners than to the 0.0000001% of ultra wealthy.

FWIW 0.1% is already 38 million dollars (net worth, US, 2012 data).

E: Speaking of context, you were specifically talking about commonality between the, idk, bottom 1-10%, top 1-10%, and (whatever is ultra-wealthy). So my point may be the one made out-of-context.

Well now I’m just confused. Is there another word that fits the description besides hoe? Is there a magical synonym for hoe that works for both mankind of the word? Cause that would be damn interesting.

Host server difference makes more sense though, doesn’t it…

when my social lights are out they turn them on again

Why the torture?

I wonder how light-handed you’ll have to be to keep that market, election, and war info accurate.

I miss forums. Not that they disappeared completely but that used to be the go-to for good info. Still is maybe, cause I’ve read through a lot of garbage trying to learn about something pretty simple and then hit a forum post that’s like “well it depends if it’s early- or late-season blight”. What? The twenty garden blog posts I studied never mention such a distinction. But there’s Jimmy in Mt Carmel Indiana breaking it down.

Lol, thought that was just a pet name for a second there, poopkins

I liked you in skinny Pete. I think that’s what it was called. And I think it was Margot

That has nothing to do with what they said

(I’m an idiot but this is probably good info for people who can better advise)

What level of game do you have in mind? I’m wondering if something browser playable is in order. Have you considered the story of the chrome browser dinosaur game?

I worked really hard on a tailspin DVD for a niece done years ago. I probably searched through a lot of images for art.

I hope I made it with an additional "Dumbass spells it “tailspin DVD” flag

Shit I’m sorry man. I’m sure you’re not that bad. It’ll pass.
