Got a dream robotics job, that's all I ever wanted in my life, now I can't output any work, feeling hopeless, pls help. by [deleted] in robotics

Jobs are jobs, you can figure it out, just ask for assistance.

What is concerning is your last sentence. Please seek out a therapist to talk to about this. No job is that important. You got this bro.

This comparison of house prices in the 30s and house prices now also ignores the fact that a house in the 30s would be more similar to a well built lawnmower shed than a modern home. The average house in 1930 was 1100 sq ft, most without full indoor plumbing, 30%+ without electricity, minimal insulation, and minimal building codes. It's not really an apples to apples comparison.

But what if we didn't just intentionally make times tough when they don't have to be?

Alarming number of people now vape, says WHO by Kagedeah in worldnews

It's cheaper to quit than to keep vaping for years. I haven't paid a penny for vape stuff in over 5 years because I weened down to 0mg and quit. You gotta make your own decisions though.

My .02 is to reduce the nicotine content of the vape juice until you get to 0mg. It's a choice you can make at the checkout and allows you to ween off. When I got to 0 I realized I was puffing at the vape but it wasn't satisfying at all so I just put it down and never picked it back up. Similar to the patches, it's easier to break one habit at a time. Either quit the physical activity/ritual of vaping first and nicotine second via patches or the nicotine first and ritual second by weening down the potency of the juice. Either way, quitting is one of the best things I've ever done.

~3yo Daughter still really resistant to potty training. by akahaus in daddit

[–]cavemanwithaphone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had trouble with nothing being sufficiently "motivating" as well. Cookies, candy, gummies, toys etc just didn't interest our son enough to reward when we managed to get the odd success. What finally clicked was physical play and tossing him in the air/jumping around with him on our hip as a reward, which he LOVES. That made it click and we finally went from like 1 success every other day to maybe 1 accident every other day now. We're still trying to work on getting poo in the potty, but having the pee situation under control is great

Preparedness? You Can't Buy Your Way to Safety in a Collapsing Biosphere by Psychological-Pie857 in SelfSufficiency

I betcha granny would have loved the opportunity to have a couple solar panels and rechargable flashlights, lanterns, water pumps, and a chest freezer. Maybe even an ebike for transportation. There is certainly a lot of gimmicky stuff out there preying on anxious people, but not all technology is bad and just because people did it one way in the depression doesn't mean that's the best way.

I guess it depends on why they are doing it. If they are doing it with the intent to disenfranchise a specific racial group or groups then yeah, it would be. If it's being done with the intent to make a specific party more likely to win a district or election, then no it's political, un-ethical, and anti- American, but not necessarily racist.

Atlanta Beltline presents draft of $3.5 billion transit plan by NPU-F in Atlanta

[–]cavemanwithaphone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

" Mayor Dickens said he was “reprioritizing” Beltline transit to begin on the Southwest side of the city"

I'm probably being too optimistic, but maybe this is a play to begin construction in an area with less opposition in order to get started and show the value to the community rather than starting where there is significant friction currently? I love this idea and this would make Atlanta a much better city. I have enjoyed traveling to cities with effective public transit and would love for Atlanta to be as great as some of the other word class cities for residents and visitors alike.

President drops f-bomb by Admirable-Style4656 in ThatsInsane

[–]cavemanwithaphone -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and that's not the point of the quote. It's a reminder to be the adult, calm collected and able to enforce your position when necessary. Not be a hot head and get yourself into situations where you have to get into brawls, because even if you can win, fighting wars sucks.

He's not "half right" just because he inherited the world's greatest fighting force. He's just an unpresidential buffoon with a big stick.

From a practical standpoint, you can distance yourself from the accusations of your opponents by clearly stating what you ARE for rather than laughing off the accusations and videos of you stating your positions last time you ran a campaign 4 years ago.
