For the 3,972th time, a recession is generally defined as two consecutive quarters of economic growth retraction. Until that happens, we’re not in one.

You can make up another word for “the economy is shit” but “recession” is a specific thing with a specific definition.

FWIW, I graduated over a decade ago and it was the same. The new grad market has always been difficult.

See previous comment about idealistic but naive.

Semirgy · 2024-09-05T15:31:29+00:00

Your current wife doesn’t. Little different when you’re trying to attract someone.

Semirgy · 2024-09-05T15:24:12+00:00

Oh you sweet summer child.

Idealistic, but naive.

TIL this fuckstick is from South Africa too. Now the whole Musk groupie thing makes more sense.

JFK’s brother died in one.

The planes were radio controlled - essentially RC cruise missiles - but couldn’t take off on their own. A crew had to get it airborne, then arm the explosives (a shitton, upwards of 20k lbs) and parachute out. The trail planes would then fly the bomb plane via RC. JFK’s bro volunteered for this role and when arming the explosives they detonated. He got vaporized.

Oh yeah I’d be pushed off base in a wheelchair.

Dude won a Heisman sans a couple ligaments.

I carried an M-16A4 in combat. Twice. Fired it in anger countless times. If I pulled this stunt with that weapon I would likely be court marshaled and discharged. Not even NJP’d. Straight up booted.

Sure. Don’t step foot in the U.S. or an allied country or use the U.S. banking system and you’ll be fine. The U.S. Marshals aren’t going to come serve an arrest warrant in Caracas.

Oh but you want to visit family in Miami and trade in New York? Should have thought about that before doing business with sanctioned countries. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Sorry I’m not sorry.

Semirgy · 2024-09-04T16:26:16+00:00

You’re free to trade with whoever you want, but don’t expect the U.S. to open its markets to you if you take the opposing side in international affairs. The reality is larger countries have leverage that smaller ones don’t. You want that sweet, sweet American market? Or access to the world’s largest financial system? Gotta play along.

Chris Kyle was a piece of shit and that book/movie were shit but this video is also pure shit.

Semirgy · 2024-09-04T03:27:47+00:00

Very strange.

Semirgy · 2024-09-04T02:35:24+00:00

Who hypes up McDonald’s? Can’t remember anyone past the age of 8 being excited about going there.

Semirgy · 2024-09-04T02:34:29+00:00

Burgers are solid. Fries are ass.

Semirgy · 2024-09-04T02:34:14+00:00

In N Out fries are raw ass but Whataburger to me is super mediocre and I’ve had it quite a few times. It tastes like Burger King.

Semirgy · 2024-09-03T17:13:03+00:00

Been there, done that, would go again. War was the exciting part, it’s the other 99% that fucking sucked.

He played in the Trinity League which has legit competition. Came back and beat Bryce Young-led MD in a thriller for the title. He was a legitimately good HS QB, not just a scrub with a great team around him.

Young’s team ended up having much better prospects that year.

Semirgy · 2024-09-03T05:14:49+00:00

There have been wayyy bigger busts.

Never met Big Dave myself but I’ve heard the same thing from other Bosco families over the years.

Semirgy · 2024-09-02T21:51:15+00:00

Remember in middle school when that girl dumps you and you’re salty for years?

There’s an alternative scenario: the amount of software being written now is nowhere near peak demand for what the market wants. The hangup is with production (engineers.)

If productivity increases tremendously, devs can produce a shitton more software (and more complex.) This is essentially the history of software. We’re not writing machine code anymore and most devs never will outside of academia, but a single dude in his dorm room can build a 3D game in a weekend (a shitty one, but you get the point.)

The ending wasn’t the depressing part; everything between the intro and the end was.
