Yes. You know that “all thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs” rule? It’s that.

Not all talented people go to college. But odds are the people who go to college are talented.

From the sounds of it you probably aren’t able anyway.

I didn’t imply it. You inferred it. Incorrectly, at that.

People that are perfectly capable of going to college choose not to. Doesn’t make them inferior. And I don’t think they are, by any stretch.

Not going to college doesn’t mean a lack of talent or ability.

I didn’t say that. Thanks for proving my point. 😊

Considering public education began before the industrial revolution and factories, that seems a little suspect.

Me, reads comments: Man there’s a lot more of the ‘college ain’t nuthin’ but debt and a piece of paper’ people on Lemmy than I thought there were.

Ya’ll are just trying to overcompensate for feeling inadequate about not going to college. If you don’t go, don’t go. It’s not for everyone. But don’t shit on and downplay the people who have the talent and ability to do so.

“It just teaches you do be a useful tool of the machine!” yeah that’s exactly what someone who didn’t go or shouldn’t have went to college would think.

You don’t work where I work then.

Family-owned business. Realizes they’re behind-the-ball on technology and practices. Hires college-educated & outside people to make suggestions.

“Well none of that makes sense to us. Forget all that and do it our way.”

“That way is wrong.”

“Well it’s our business, we’ll do it how we want.”

Then they get all <surprised pikachu> when the talented people get burnt out and quit after a few weeks. Eventually it’s “well these kids just don’t want to work hard like we do.”

So when’s he going to gather them all at Mar-a-logo of New Guinea and have them drink Flavoraid?

How did I not notice this. Lol

wildly gestures at everything

Debian is my go-to on my home box. Lol.

Personally, I use Chrome because it and Edge are the only browsers installed on my work PC.

At home, it’s either Safari on my Mac or TOR on my Linux box with a VPN.

My dude. All the feels right here.

This is why I use Linux at home, along with TOR and a VPN. I’m not doing anything other than looking up woodworking and camping stuff, but fuck all ya’ll for being nosy.

Of course it does.

Same here. I always said “ain’t no way I’m ever paying for what used to be free!”

Fast forward to political ad season and some orange peckerhead keeps popping up… “Alright, here’s your damn money. Now let me watch this autistic guy unclog drains in peace.”

Microsoft: “Please use Edge!”

Me: “No thanks!”

Microsoft, 6 months later: “Please use Edge!”

Me: “No, thanks.”

Microsoft, when I visit Bing: “Please use Edge.”

Me: “No. Thanks.”

Microsoft, when I open Outlook: “We will be opening links in Edge instead of your default browser. To switch back, go to your preferences.”

Me: “Motherfucker, I think we have a difference in viewpoints.”
