I don’t say the wage slave part outright like that. I say the part about retiring with a smile like I’m joking but then use the opportunity to point out that I think about and plan for the future and that I’m financially responsible. Then I ask about the company’s benefits package.

Covid made thing weird for a while but my career has had a generally upward trend. My current job is a pretty serious step up for me in both salary and benefits and has a pretty clear path for future progression. I lost out on some of the creativity that I enjoyed in prior positions but I gained more free time to engage with my hobbies.

I’d say it’s been working for me but your mileage may vary based on your delivery and what kind of job you’re interviewing for.

Thomas Jefferson would never roll over in his grave. He would have his slaves roll him.

Why do I care about what a video game youtuber thinks?

I agree that paying an adult for consensual sex shouldn’t be illegal but, it is. So, the “party of law and order” should be held to their own shitty standards.

Sure but they are mostly Nazi bars and Klan rallies.

For the last 10 years when I’ve been asked about my career goals during job interviews I always respond, “I would like to retire.” I then clarify that I don’t mean tomorrow, next year, or even 5 years down the road. I just don’t want to die a wage slave.

Shit… is this evidence that he’s the lesser of two evils? I don’t know if I can handle that thought.

How would murdering a modern Scottish rock band stop the world wars?

Lol, yes I do know that. I’ve spent quite a few US dollars on drugs myself.

I really was just joking. I’m not judgemental about privacy, drugs, or most things really. I also realize that ALL money is fake money that only has value because we have agreed that it does. If the topic had been short term rentals instead of crypto, I’d have made an “illegal hotel chain” joke instead.

Also, If I offended you I’m sorry. I hope you have a good night (or day if you live far away from me).

“Fake money for drug dealers” is just a general crypto joke from a meme I saw here on lemmy. It just so happens that the flavor of fake money that you fell in love with actually is for drug dealers.

You’ve got me curious now though. It’s apparently important to you to keep the details of your grocery purchase completely private and that’s totally fine if it makes you happy. I don’t need to understand it to accept it. What I want to know is how far do you go to protect that privacy? Do you give Instacart your neighbor’s address? Do you use a fake name?

Yet another fake currency for drug dealers.

It’s “cool.”

Yup. I remember realizing that he was a piece of shit back in 2018 when he was calling that rescue diver a pedophile.

No, they also have Nazis and other assorted bigots.

I wish this was true. I’d use this to prevent her from ever voting in Congress again with the added bonus of getting a bunch of hand jobs.

Except it wasn’t a Mario franchise game. It was a tech demo of a “Mario-style” game featuring vertical scrolling.

And my video game history teacher also worked for Nintendo in the 80s. I also had a teacher who worked on the original Tetris. I believe them over a random stranger on the internet.

Your link agrees with me. It started as a "Mario-style tech demo not a Mario franchise game.

You’re correct. I’ve never heard this anywhere else and I literally took video game history classes at a college that is partnered with Nintendo of America.

I’m glad someone in this thread is being rational.
