Since apathy has been the ruling force of the American people for the last 25 years, yes maybe violence is the only option left.

You have allowed the wound to rot and fester, maybe the only choice left is amputation

It’s only going to get worse.

Correct. That's why the best time to act was a few years ago and the second best time is fucking now.

Americans keep clinging to their terrible status quo seemingly not understanding they will eventually lose that as well as the Fascist regime of the Orange pedophile continues

Pay a billion in tax payers money to get nothing and stop progress... the art of the deal

If nothing else, we all need to learn that ignorant and stupid people are fucking dangerous and should be addressed as such

Are you there yet, Americans?

you mean like the decision to try to hide your conversations? that is what we are doing you idiot!

The problem is that the second option also requires you to go to work in a tuxedo.

I get the point you are trying to make but this is just a strawman here... you are changing the parameters of the case and attacking your own invention.

Only a small niche of companies allow you to not work in a tuxedo.

I disagree, it is not a small niche. It certainly is not the majority but it is not that small for the scenario in this, most likely fake, email. Anecdotally I can add I have been working (also a programmer) on Linux for the past 18 years and none of the companies I worked for supported it, they just did not care if I used it as my base OS, everything they cared about is under their control so as long as I could comply to those, they were fine with it

not really... when job hunting most people have to spam the world with CVs and nowadays that also includes registering in a ton of shitty services so you can post your resume or get contact info... once hired, you would use the company's email so whatever you provided first is usually irrelevant

I really do not know what wearing a Tuxedo daily means to you... to me it means torture but it looks like you liked the idea so my example may not have been as clear as I wanted it to be

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Well, first of all, let's be clear that most likely this post is completely fake and just as true as a meme would be. We agree on that.

But yes, I have been in that position myself, you get 2 offers within a week (which is not unheard of since, when looking for jobs, one usually blast CVs everywhere).

As you point out, the second option is looking for a job while having one... you can go all the way and then pull back noticing you are going from whatever you have to worse

if you had 2 or more options on the table, one that forces you to go to work in a Tuxedo and one that doesn't, would you still claim it's insane to turn down the Tuxedo offer?

Hi Lemmy,

I want to do a project that involves concrete. Basically I am making steps, giving them texture and stamping them so it looks somewhat like stones.

I have watched a million videos and I feel I can tackle this, plus I have a lot of areas to practice that won't be too visible so if the steps look a bit amateur it's fine.

My biggest question is about the effort of mixing concrete. I have a corded drill with a mixing paddle and most steps won't require much. However a few are larger and I would have to mix 10 bags or so. The drying time allows me to work one at a time and then do my stamping but I was wondering if this is feasible from an effort perspective.

I am an experienced DIYer but have not worked much with concrete, I made a coffee table, post bases, etc but never something that requires so many bags... am I setting myself up for failure / a broken back? hehehe
