  • Young earth creationism

    What I hate so much about that, is all the “evidence” just points to some near extinction level event that humans worldwide suffered.

    And obviously for that to have happened, it means there had to be a lot more people.

    Like, entire cities/tribes/whatever were wiped out everywhere, but some had individuals survive. Which explains how “the last two people” could have kids who just happen to later have spouses and kids of their own without any explanation for where the new people came from.

    They were just outside of walking distance.

    Over the 300,000 plus years anatomically modern humans have been on Earth, that’s probably happened a bunch. Hell, we’ve had 2-3 actual ice ages over that span.

    We don’t know shit about 250k of those years.












  • Why do you think they just grabbed 10% of Intel?

    One of the biggest criticism of AI summaries is you could just look at Wikipedia…

    So you crush Wikipedia and then people can’t say AI is useless.

    It ain’t a stretch, it’s basic logical reasoning, can you not see how that would work or do you not understand how trump could do something as unethical and destroy a free resource to make a buck?

    It’s alcoholism…

    People don’t talk enough about how the people running our government are the actual scary real deal alcoholics.

    People keep asking “how can they do this shit” but the easy answer is they’re shit faced by noon and haven’t been sober since inauguration.


  • I’ve seen people catch up when they start small: buying or downloading existing projects, breaking them apart to see how things actually work, then slowly tweaking/building their own.

    That’s trying to teach yourself, when a college education didn’t work…

    Pair that with mentorship or guidance from people in the industry,

    What you want is an internship.

    Do not under any circumstances pay someone to “mentor” you, no employer will care. An internship looks so much better, it’s at least an institutional scam that people still respect.

    But I feel like having an option in between (learn + build + guidance in one place) could really help students who don’t want to give up on tech completely.

    This isn’t an either/or scenario…

    You’re thinking you have a year, how many calendar months is it to graduation? You should be applying to jobs after this semester, the market fucking sucks.

    You need a solid plan, a backup plan, an “oh shit” plan, and an absolutely last resort plan.

    You’ll be an adult before you know it, and unless you have a personal safety net, you may not have one.


  • Assuming it’s programming because why else would OP randomly say they dont know it…

    Which is terrible because that’s a practical skill you can’t really fake and you need the foundational knowledge from school.

    OP is gonna need to look at something like HR or office drone where a general degree is “good enough”.

    Not the end of the world, they just coasted thru a degree for a very competitive field. So now they need to pivot. Even people who paid attention and know their shit can’t get a job programming these days anyways
