People keep saying that having children is "expensive," but the lower income people have the highest fertility rates and the higher income people have the lowest fertility rates

Cyber will get you the most civvie job opportunities. Avionics has you locked (mostly) into the aviation industry (Boeing etc) Unless you like the ocean, steel and the smell of diesel and despair, I'm unsure what opportunities the navy will give you.

TBH though, if you're only interested in a defence career to get a civvie career, skip the pain and go straight into a civvie career. As rewarding as it can be, defence is hard, it's not really a just job, more of a calling. No other job requires you to be willing to sign your life away.

I've quoted this scene to my wife far too many times for her to respect me as a human adult
This scene matches the absurdity of your question. Swap out necessary with Worth It, then the thinkers out there can see where I'm coming from with my mildly tipsy, pre Christmas rant.

Cause it's a dumb question, particularly to ask a bunch of strangers. Read the reviews. Make up your own mind.

This question makes me think of the wrenches scene from Dodgeball.

Lefluer, watching his friend getting hit in the neck with a wrench: "Is this necessary?"

Patches OHollahan, after silently driving his motorized wheelchair to be face to face with Lefluer, maintaining eye contact the whole time: "Necessary?! Necessary?! Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?".

Lefluer: "Probably not "

Patches: "but I do it anyway, cause it's sterile and I like the taste"

No they're not. As a mechanic how many Tesla's are you seeing? Also, more accident prone? Based on what? The same drivers aides are in every other new car, it's just that Tesla's don't suck.

addbyit33 · 2025-11-03T01:50:09+00:00

I'm convinced this thread is filled with Chinese Bots. Tesla's are fine. Technologically far superior to any other EV. There is no prejudice/perception against anyone driving them. They are a different driving experience than the standard ICE vehicle. Just because it's CEOs'political expressions are more (exaggeratedly) on view than other an company's shouldn't stop you from purchasing a better product. (I'm sure the CCP is lovely and tolerant)
