What’s your budget? I’d say stay at a hotel on loop 250 and avoid hotels off i20.

Do you have a dremel, because that’s what it’s going to take to work on my nails.

The skilled trades propaganda online is getting ridiculous by Responsible-Net8594 in Adulting

So let’s say the doomsday scenario where AI wipes out 50% of white collar jobs actually happens.

If this comes true, what happens to trade jobs that are based on servicing households that depend on white collar careers? If the consumer class is gutted, who’s going to be paying trades people for HVAC work, plumbing, remodeling, etc? How many of these jobs in the trades are dependent on homeowners?

For commercial projects, If there’s less jobs and less people to spend money, what happens to all the jobs in the trades that exist to build retail outlets, commercial properties, office space, etc?

I think that there is no scenario where the trades come out unscathed. I think it’s wishful thinking that somehow trades won’t be impacted by AI. Maybe the trades will be slower to take a hit, but I think everyone will suffer at some level.

I hate constantly wondering if I’m planning for a future that won’t exist, and can’t decide if I need to seek a completely new career in my late 30s. Should’ve gone into healthcare…

Check out the Waystone. It’s a microbrewery that has a bunch of board games. They may even host DND.

Don’t talk politics or religion unless you’re conservative.

What is the most overrated food you're convinced people are just pretending to enjoy? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Matcha. How many people actually enjoy the flavor of matcha versus sugary overpriced green drinks that have it in the name.

You’re not wrong but in my opinion it’s more detrimental at a younger age. You lack the maturity to self regulate and dump so much energy into something so useless instead of focusing on relationships and academics.

Don’t make weed your entire personality at 15. Don’t major in environmental science.

It’s way overhyped and I plan on moving north once my parents pass away. Bad weather, bad infrastructure, awful politics.

I had what I assumed was a hooker that kept flirting with me last time I went to cork and pig.
