You didn’t write your age, but I assume you’re around 18 from your username and the description. I’m in my late twenties, and working as a software developer. It took me most of my twenties of just trying different things, and studying on and off, before I figured out what direction to go in career wise. It’s worked out well for me in the end, but I am completely open to changing my mind and changing course later, in case I no longer like it, or I wanna do something else.
Like you, no particular career really had a strong appeal to me when I was a teenager. That’s fine.
I don’t think it matters a great deal what, specifically, you do at the start of adulthood. What matters is that you do something. Whether that’s pursuing a degree, or working some random job, or trying to start your own business, or traveling to do volunteer work, etc.
If you wanna be a housewife, I’m sure you’ll find a partner you can do that with eventually. But until then, I think you’d be denying yourself of a lot of personal growth by not taking on some form of full time occupation (once you’re done with school, of course). Basically, you’ll figure out the specifics as you go along, and you’ll probably find out what career appeals you to when you’ve tried a few types of jobs.

I think it’s referring to the “you can’t block ads on YT or we might ban you” popups you get on YT occasionally, if you’re using an adblocker. I have only had it happen once or twice before I did a quick online search and found an extra filter or two to add to uBlock Origin, and then I stopped seeing them.
Well you can’t attach a machine gun to a dog with teeth. I mean you can, but it won’t hit anything.
I don’t really see the things he did and said (he didn’t AFAIK actually make that fiverr order btw) as taking “a fascist turn”. Not excusing him using slurs on stream or his weird dogwhistles to fascists during that period, though, he certainly did and said things he should not have. But I think there’s a difference between farming edgy meme culture, in an insensitive way, for views, and actually espousing fascist views and trying to convert people to them. I might be missing something, and I’m under no illusion that the guy is some perfectly kind and humble person, but I think he’s more than made up for his prior mistakes as a public figure, with what he’s doing as a public figure now. It’s quite clear he’s no longer in the cancerous influencer rat race, and hasn’t been for some time.
I have no scientific sources I can point to to back it up. A hunch is what it is, ultimately. It seems true to me, but I suppose I could be wrong.
I suspect it’s difficult to really prove this one way or the other.
Sure, but it certainly seems like we are seeing a greater number of software errors caused by bad or sloppily implemented features now, compared to before LLMs were readily available and good enough to produce (mostly) passable code. Far too many companies, including Microslop, put too much faith in the technology, and that seems to correlate with many of these problems popping up.
I think both can be true simultaneously, no? I don’t think the point is that it’s easy. I also doubt it’s just hard work, elbow grease and a bit of luck to become so ridiculously rich. I think every single dollar billionaire has probably done, at the least, morally dubious things, and in most cases probably outright lied, stolen, and abused people in the pursuit of power.
A billion dollars is just such an egregious amount of money in a world where so many have so disappearingly little in comparison.
I’m aware of that, but I wasn’t aware of the much more stringent (non-technical) requirements for tap to pay
That’s… Fucking stupid. But it’s to be expected from greedy, overly powerful tech corporations I suppose.
