I think he understands the problem considering he mentioned his 200k income at the start of the post.
Fur suits are expensive so hes the perfect money source :D

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 27 points 2 months ago

Unlike those industrial engineer peasants.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Well you see American manufacturing keeps getting hamstrung by an orange dipshit who thinks he's saving it

[-] gabereal@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 months ago

He's not trying to save it. He's simply creating market fluctuations and buying the dip. He creates conditions that cause investors to worry and stock prices to fall, then he buys when the prices are low and finally he announces that the tariffs are being postponed for 90+ days (that is, into the next financial quarter). Stock prices start to rise again and eventually they return to where they started, like it never happened.

In the meantime, people are losing jobs and their houses, but that's a small price to pay to make him and his inner circle wealthier.

Unironically yes. Lots of variation in pay and prestige among different engineering disciplines. Manufacturing engineers are not typically very well paid from what I’ve seen.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago

Maybe they want to get a spiderman style radioactive dog bite to turn into their ideal puppy form.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago

That went directly over my head. Apparently I’m out of touch. Haven’t dated in many years.

[-] Beebabe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, same. I didn’t realize being a furry was so expensive.

Yeah average fursuit costs around as much as a small car or motorbike. However, unlike a car, you can buy it one part at a time.

Johnny Cash says otherwise lol

A sugar buck?

Tell em you work for Boeing.

"can I be your fast breeder reactor?"

😂

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I wonder if they'd help me work out a system to pump some hot waste fluids in my bedroom.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

I think I’ve only ever met 2 furries in my entire life. I don’t know where this person is that furries are so common. Then again, I’m not a nuclear engineer. Maybe radiation attracts furries?

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Seattle.

Idk maybe he’s at a furry convention?

[-] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

Definitely a Seattle issue. We have a queer furry cidery—the first one in the US!

[-] TheCleric@lemmy.org 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A building turning furries into cider? And people are happy about this?! I mean, we in he US will give miles of leeway to anyone if they check one “minority” box.

[-] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Is it for queer or furry or queer furries.

[-] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

First openly queer and furry (together) was my understanding.

"An nuclear engineer"? That's suspicious grammar for a nuclear engineer.

[-] ProfessorPeregrine@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

I was a peer writing tutor at a top engineering school. I would be surprised if an engineer had verb-noun agreement. (That said, my kid was a nuclear engineer and is a great writer, so that is the danger of stereotypes...)

I think there's a large population only because this is inherently niche. And niche things attract niche interest groups in larger quantities.

The hacker known as Lemmy?

[-] teslasaur@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Atleast from my own experience there is alot of it here. For some reason, top comments about sexual restriction-related posts on Lemmy tend towards the fear of bans coming for furries. Make of that what you will.

Any negative comments about their weirdness will not be met kindly here.

[-] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

When people started first migrating from reddit there was a TON of furry porn.

How does he know who's is a furry and who isn't at a party? Are they always dressed up?

[-] peregrin5@piefed.social 15 points 2 months ago

because he is at a furry party. they are all dressed up. him too.

[-] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

In my limited experience, they're pretty up front with it even when they're not wearing a fursuit or furry merch.

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 8 points 2 months ago

In a million years, I never would have guessed that this was an issue.

[-] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

That's because you're not a nuclear engineer.

[-] darvocet@infosec.pub 5 points 2 months ago

He's obviously in his furry suit.

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Whatever just don't tell Lemmy you're a landlord

[-] Spur4383@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

He should tell them he is a cyber security chad expert. That will stop them!

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Good to know PNW furries don't hit on my career.
