04:38

she's a walking oxymoron, supports Trump and she's trans

04:40

unrelated, but even Caitlyn Jenner has terrible opinions, we have no proper trans representation

lynn

and you're taking Blaire White seriously because..???

Checkmark = 100% valid and serious

05:58

she's a meme

05:58

conservative and so is Jenner

Conservative trans person is a mind boggling concept for me, like how? :D

wh

There is a wailing toddler at me gate. I'm currently considering doing a blood sacrifice to guarantee he doesnt end up next to me on the plane

For once I don't have shit seatmates

08:57

Could it be that my life is finally turning around?

This is so cringe. People who are annoyed by children are more annoying than children could ever be

lol what

10:19

children are annoying af

Im 'corneum

This is so cringe. People who are annoyed by children are more annoying than children could ever be

Who even wants a toddler wailing in their ear for a 3 hour flight???

U guys really fell for the kids bad meme

10:57

Spergs

Meme? It physically hurts my ears. Why am I not entitled to a peaceful flight?

I hate children on the plane, it’s fucking hell trip like

10:59

And they are always will sit near to you by the law of meanness

10:59

OOOH NO THERE IS A KID ON MY AEROPLANE IN GOING INSAAAAANE

Im 'corneum

OOOH NO THERE IS A KID ON MY AEROPLANE IN GOING INSAAAAANE

I hereby curse you to a crying baby right next to you for the rest of your life. Hope you enjoy it

bruh when they cry the whole flight its just a pain

babies in general are just a pain

13:05

idk why people want them

13:05

besides tax benefits

louis

bruh when they cry the whole flight its just a pain

Corneum loves it, the more they cry the better

worse than a baby tho is the 5~6 year old kid who has bad parents so they complain and cry and scream on purpose the whole flight

A baby atleast you can't control so no solution. Parents that won't handle their kids should get added to the no-fly list

Learath2

Corneum loves it, the more they cry the better

Life has never been better, the invention of high quality noise cancelling headphones prevented more suicides than suicide hotline

I have a very good pair. They work as long as the crying kid is atleast 2 rows away

13:20

They aren't great at cancelling non-monotone sounds

Yeah i have similar ones but i also tried sonny 1000mx4 and the future is looking bright

13:21

I give it few more years

I'm on the xm3's they are excellent

13:22

So impressive how good they are at making things like engine sound completely disappear

Yup but sadly cant use headphones everywhere :/

Learath2

Corneum loves it, the more they cry the better

its not that i would enjoy it very much. what ticked me off is that i saw you complain about this 2 times before already. something thats like a minor inconveinience. as if youre hoping for this to happen just so you can complain about how much you hate kids again. how can you be this cynical and still wonder why you are depressed? grow up

13:40

and dont take this as hate. i respect the work you are doing and clearly you are pretty smart judging by your programming skills. sadly you inteligence might be whats holding you back. youre too smart to understand what kind of a retard you are

How is 3 hours of not being allowed to sleep a minor inconvenience. It's almost like you don't travel much

13:43

You started from the fact that I'm a depressed mess and extrapolated to me hating kids. A lot of very functional people don't enjoy little kids crying next to them on planes

Learath2

You started from the fact that I'm a depressed mess and extrapolated to me hating kids. A lot of very functional people don't enjoy little kids crying next to them on planes

of course they dont. but not alot of fuctional people lose their shit about it every single time it happens.

I literally said one sentence about it. How am I losing my shit here?

you said you would perform a blood sacrafice to prevent it?

Have you heard of the term sarcasm or maybe exaggeration? Do you actually think I would perform a blood sacrifice?

no. but it sure was cynical

I'm not sure what definition of cynical you are assigning to me here. "concerned only with one's own interests..."?

idk another word but i mean it just feels like you want to be mad

13:48

again, dont take this the wrong way i still like you but it just pissed me off kinda

I don't want to be mad, hence I would prefer if there wasn't a baby next to me, since they keep me from sleeping. Sounds very logical to me

but no matter how good your situation is, there will always be things to complain about. why dont you just imagine how it could be much worse and then be thankful that its not that way

Not complaining about anything is a saints virtue. I'm not one. I highly doubt you are either. Do you never complain?

this is a situation where you have no power. so there is no logical reason to complain. of course there are other situations where it would be the right thing (edited)

13:55

or do you want to complain for so long until its illegal to travel with kids

Interesting discussion

So people are only allowed to complain if they can change something?

i just think in this situation it would be in your own interest not to

13:59

and not to get frustrated

bro, i gotta say, if it happens once for 3h it's bearable, but if it happens every now and then it's more than inconvenience

I don't quite get what complaining or not complaining accomplishes. All that matters is the result. I did not get a kid next to me, hence I didn't get annoyed. The fact that I voiced my concern here didn't change much in that equation

i swear if a kid is crying all the time on the plane my only thoughts would be "whats the best way to kill this kid"

Ryozuki

i swear if a kid is crying all the time on the plane my only thoughts would be "whats the best way to kill this kid"

luckily thoughts are not crime yet

put the kid in the overhead compartment

Ryozuki

luckily thoughts are not crime yet

soon to be

@Im 'corneum seriously if you actually think like this, you are a much better person than me. In theory it makes sense, but I don't know any of these ideal people who don't get mad at things they cant influence

i get mad at stuff like this all the time but im trying not to and it feels like it helps

how is disliking screaming babies a reddit moment (edited)

i shouldnt have edited this 20 min ago

14:04

the killing whas what reminded me of reddit

child free mfs is reddit moment i understand

I think you are annoyed at people on reddit. Noticed a pattern on me and just redirected your annoyance to me who you can address unlike the people on reddit

why do U guys even have reddit?

reddit is a good porn site

14:05

no joke

14:05

:(

Overlord

why do U guys even have reddit?

I don't even read reddit except for things sent to me

Overlord

why do U guys even have reddit?

r/place

Learath2

I think you are annoyed at people on reddit. Noticed a pattern on me and just redirected your annoyance to me who you can address unlike the people on reddit

actually youre right.

was the only reason

Overlord

why do U guys even have reddit?

i prefer reddit because even if its rly bad, its better than twitter

14:06

and on niche communities things arent a disaster

anything is better than twitter

the idea behind reddit is nice to have forums on different topics in one place, but the execution well... it's internet

Voxel

anything is better than twitter

it's like choosing between a cow dung and horse shit

well its the internet if u go to the frontpage of reddit

14:06

but if u have a game u like and visit its subreddit

14:06

its fun

14:07

i mostly visit dota 2 and rust subreddit

the"redditor" culture is stupid af but yeah small subs are chill

Well missed my train. Am I allowed to be annoyed at that? :P

3

Learath2

Well missed my train. Am I allowed to be annoyed at that? :P

r u on italy

14:08

or turkey

Learath2

Well missed my train. Am I allowed to be annoyed at that? :P

only at Ur own incompetence!

Ryozuki

r u on italy

Back to italy now

Learath2

Well missed my train. Am I allowed to be annoyed at that? :P

no.

back to

14:08

come to usa

Ryozuki

but if u have a game u like and visit its subreddit

true, i dont have an account, but when i wanted to find a new dance pad the guides there were really nicely done

join us in usa

Overlord

only at Ur own incompetence!

I already am permanently annoyed at my own shortcomings. Corneum is right that I'm a very negative person

Learath2

Well missed my train. Am I allowed to be annoyed at that? :P

uhm the train didnt even wait for me?? reddit moment

Learath2

I already am permanently annoyed at my own shortcomings. Corneum is right that I'm a very negative person

it's because U still care about these

14:10

just accept U're flawed forever!

Ryozuki

back to

Finally, high speed trains ❤

remeber there are no brakes on the feel train

14:13

btw, i always wondered as a kid, when people are unhappy in their jobs, why dont they learn something in their free time, to change the jobs

14:14

and i gotta say after a month of working in a timetable that defienietly doesnt suit me, i was right, U just need a month to adjust and then U can do things to leave the shithole

cuz u usually need a degree

14:14

which means 6 years in uni

lol

and many money

14:14

:(

u dont need a degree

+1

thats just what ur american system taught you

14:15

to put you in debt

depends on what u tryna do

where im currently working at, having a degree is a must, yet i dont have one

i can definitly say you dont need a degree to become a developer

2

14:15

well if u work at rocketry

14:15

maybe

14:15

xd

yeah, but if I go to a hospital and ask for a surgeon job with no proof of prior knowledge idk man

i'm a strong proponent of self learning, its just that you need more will on your own to keep it up

You can do a lot without a degree. A lot of trades are with on the job training. You can become a welder, an aircraft technician, woodworker

I mean fair enough

Electronics repair is another one that doesnt require a full degree

Welshi

yeah, but if I go to a hospital and ask for a surgeon job with no proof of prior knowledge idk man

xd

im sweating cuz if i disconnect wrong pc at hospital, people do have problems ( i still hope noone dies )

14:18

also i learned there's a way to circumvent the degree requirment, which is starting Ur own buisness

14:19

ofc no surgery, unless we go for the black market

black market surgeon sounds badass, im gonna do that

I'm not so sure about the aircraft technician though monkaS

they're usually former doctors or ones that lost their license / stopped studying without passing finals and so on

Pipou

I'm not so sure about the aircraft technician though monkaS

You dont self learn it but you don't need to go to uni for it

14:22

There are trade schools for that

or find really understaffed place, and they will teach U on the job ^^

cant you just take like the final tests to get aofficial degree? you just need to pay the guys to look at it but you dont need to pay for their school

impossible, if it worked like that unis would collapse

Im 'corneum

cant you just take like the final tests to get aofficial degree? you just need to pay the guys to look at it but you dont need to pay for their school

Hm, dunno, maybe its offered in some countries

14:25

In europe universities are almost all very cheap anyway

I agree that you can get a lot from your experiences on the field but going to university helps you, guides you and sort of saves time instead of wandering around trying to find a solution to your problem, by yourself (edited)

cheap but time consuming, especially first 1.5 years

14:26

i personally think, during the first year of uni (not last years) should be actual work practice in the field, because theory and how the world actually work are two totally different things

If you absolutely must go to uni, you need to be able to afford the time off work unless you are in nordic countries where they pay you for going to uni so you can live

Yeah, that's another problem unfortunately..

Either your parents or your government needs to pick up the slack :D

or, get any degree (philosophy included) and go for goverment job

That's certainly a possibility, govt jobs pay decent and have good retirement packages

yeah, also they're very light and have lots of free time

Depends on the country I guess justatest

i would say in 70% of the world gov jobs are neat but we gotta differenate them

14:32

like i have a goverment job, and it's utter shit, but a friend of mine is IT at town hall / city hall, and he plays games all day, brother's GF works in city archive, and is on discord all day, and looking at memes

The difference between studying and learning on the field and copying is that, when you study, you are pushed 1 step further ahead in order to master what's below that very step. It helps in understanding what you are doing, and you are ready in case of special events, if something wrong happens because you are in control

Medium scope IT jobs are excellent if you know what you are doing and want to have a lot of free time.

There should just be a right mix of both theory and practice

Pipou

Well some jobs are better when you learn on the field. You could read about welding a billion times and I guarantee you'll be shit at it your first couple goes

hmmm, when U learn theoretically about many different things, and then meet one of them on the field, the theory isnt that good unless U truly remember it which is very rare to remember how to exactly act during something U never encountered before

Others are the opposite, you can't learn structural engineering on the job, you need a lot of theory

Yeah, it depends on the jobs, nonetheless there should always be a sort of balance between theory and practice

Learath2

just let some bridges collapse, which made my small city famous for few hours on internet

Pipou

Definitely

Overlord

If we were like a millenia back we would learn structural engineering on the job. Make arch, if it doesn't hold make arch again.

there's a running joke in my country which goes:

employee gets on interview*

boss: forget everything U learned at Uni. employee: that's great because i didnt go to university boss: then Sir U're unqualified for this job, goodbye

Nowadays we are quite certain our buildings will hold before there is ever any stone laid :D

There should also be a better association of theory and the field, as Overlord says, you'd be lost in front of a real situation if you only did theory. If you could learn the raw information then apply it to a real situation, you might as well understand the process even better

imo it should be like at vocational school, 4 days of theory 1 day of practice (or 3:2)

More like morning/afternoon would be better

14:41

Otherwise most would forget

U mean like practice the very thing they learned?

Yeah

i meant more like, free worker for company (or paid as in company is being compensated) and also theory at uni

or 1/1
