some of us had to work. not everyone has parents who can hold down jobs and bring in money. I worked at a grocery store cause it was easy to grab the perfectly good expired stuff being tossed.
I couldve worded it better and replaced "sentiment like this" with "statements like this" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I agree. I didn't say you're wrong. I'm just saying that the way this the meme is phrased creates a false equivalency that is misleading unless spelled out like you did
I'm not a democrat and if I ever turn into one please put me down
lemmy actually tends to skew older than a lot of platforms (ive seen stats for this around just don't have any on hand). the person I responded to above is actually one of the creators of lemmy. unfortunately, lemmy also skews towards chronically online and white, which means there's a lot of those opinions floating around.
great point I should have simply not worked and let my family starve. truly genius intellect
here's an example for you to drive home why sentiment like this is dumb and creates false equivalencies. when I was 14, I worked at a grocery store. there were two managers that I would get scheduled with. they both sucked and were awful human beings. however, one was a known child predator. which one do you think I'd rather get scheduled with?
most likely the last one. especially in computer science, there's always a lot of people who sorta understand and just want to be included. that's why most computer science memes are "JavaScript bad" or "python slow" or other super basic mass opinions. I feel like it's super rare I see an actually original computer science meme

I got towels, cast iron pans, and a new knife for Christmas and couldn't have been happier.
I'm still a bed by the wall person though. when me and my partner get a house that will probably change, but for now I like having a corner to sit up against.
