What I’ll do is start out with a data entry job as I teach myself programming (I already know a bit of C# but it’s rusty) to then get a certification and job in that field, so I can afford to then get my own house. I always wanted a house, with my own garden and above ground swimming pool

I can’t afford to move to another country though (neither can most Americans), so I can only move to a state that isn’t red. As much as I’ll still have to deal with President Trump, at least a non-Republican state would try to mitigate/fight back in ways

I’m planning to move to Puerto Rico, which unlike every other state/territory in the country, its party system does not align with the national one (similar to Quebec in Canada), but more politicians there are nationally affiliated with Democrats than with Republicans, and from what I know, while Trump enjoys support among a chunk of stateside Puerto Ricans much like other Hispanics, Trump isn’t very popular there considering he neglected them after Hurricane Maria and tried to sell it, as well as the more recent “island of garbage” shenanigans

So I looked up certifications and they’re way too expensive, is there any job that with at least $36k/year or $17.31/hour after taxes that doesn’t have such a steep financial barrier to entry?

I decided not to get married too, because I just realized that I prefer living alone

But yeah, Florida is overrated anyway. It’s probably going to be under a feet of water in 35 years anyway

What did she do?

As as Southerner, this

Okay, after some research, I found out potatoes don’t grow well indoors and growing them indoors ends up being more expensive than just buying potatoes, but I know how to make fries from scratch, so that’s still better and cheaper than using oven fries or ordering fast food

I’m a CD collector, they’re definitely underrated

I’ll probably get another kind of tech related remote job. More likely I’ll just start to hate video games rather than actually enjoy work anyway

So why other tech and not gaming? Do indie gaming companies not hire remote?

you made this a top level reply by mistake

Is video game testing anything like it’s portrayed in the movie Grandma’s Boy?

I have no idea why Microsoft always attempts to implement the next “big new tech thing” in Windows for every version, just for them to always inevitably reverse course after it flops as they repeat it again

Being interested in CRT TVs, that’s intresting to know

I’m going to start making my fries from potatoes that I will grow inside, although part of that is also just to save money on groceries

For those of us in the US (yes I know this is world - sorry) we can only hope the brain worm dead bear boy doesn’t gut the FDA as badly as he promises, or companies are going to start adding all sorts of fun stuff to our food.

Educate yourself and your friends about “the poison squad”, fascinating story of the kinds of crazy shit they used to put in food. Copper sulfate in canned peas and such.

Oh, Jesus. I’m autistic and rely on safe foods, I can’t wait for them to start killing me now

Another NoStupidQuestion, what are trans and saturated fats anyway?

I feel even worse since I did vote for Harris, although live in a red ass state so it doesn’t amount to much (hopefully I’ll move out next year).

Black coffee. Used to only drink coffee with creamer or lattes/cappuccinos, but now I drink black because I can’t stand the sugar crash

backpack, computer monitor and $800.

What happened to the computer?
