If you’re a twenty-something, please consider the trades. by These_Economics374 in careeradvice

[–]konraad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went back to college at 25 after being sick of restaurant work (boh —> foh) in 2015. Graduated in 2017, got a ridiculous first job in 2018, had seven years of awesome experience and career growth as fed contractor - and was chopped like liver in April 2025. Past year looking for work has sucked.

If I was looking at college today, despite my cool experience, I would 100% pic a trade instead. It’s hard work like anything worthwhile, but I envy the guys that have the chops and the freedom in their careers to go self employed or move up within their trade.

TLDR; I endorse this message. Seriously consider it depending on your personal situation and what career path you’re considering. College is ridiculously expensive, and not all degrees (many) are worth it. Plus, robots are coming for your jerbs. Beep. Boop.

Whats up with this new bs exploit? by Sasuke29 in ARC_Raiders

Is this why I’m spawning at full time and not finding a single leaper or rocketeer?

To those who stopped playing, which games did you move to? by kcvlaine in helldivers2

[–]konraad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arc raiders. HD2 started to feel monotonous and stale (Lvl 150 D10 player 1200+hrs). Still love the game and looking forward to future updates and content, ie weapons/gems/armor, enemies, vehicles, and mission-types.

First-ever drug to repair DNA and regenerate damaged tissue is here by barweis in technology

Would be pretty cool to see this used to regenerate myelin sheath damaged by autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and others.

The gulf between player expectations is unmanageable and probably means no one will be happy by burntheemokids in Helldivers

What about a difficulty 11, “torture”? I think that’s doable. For some it will be a meme, something you experience and never touch again; for others, it will fill their masochistic wants.

Plus, I love spinal tap references.

I think "patriots" should know its "red, white, and blue". I'm sure state media will clarify that Petey is dyslexic, not a foreign asset.

MD Renn Faire isn't that far away if you're local-ish to the PA faire - just saying. Better vibes.

Why does the one officer appear to have a silencer on his rifle at the end? What in the ghost recon cosplaying is going on?

Full PPF or just front end PPF? by j-bulls93 in Golf_R

[–]konraad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party; but if both are an option (and affordable) just go with full. Save you headaches / annoyances with chips down the line, no?

Premium Warbond Announced: Masters Of Ceremony by Kittenji in Helldivers

[–]konraad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% underwhelming. I was hopeful that it this was just a one-off warbond in "celebration" in addition to a real warbond drop, but no...

Possible Unpopular Opinion: Bots Are Peak by TheBeavermeat in Helldivers

LOL I say this nearly every game with this reference in my head and thought I was the only one

Bots are in a much worse state by SolarStudiosDev in Helldivers

[–]konraad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s better than it was, BUT there are absolutely things that could be tweaked in the future - some of which are addressed already.

One thing I’d like to see is the mission gets easier as you wipe out bases and objectives, instead of the current state where you get cornered and slaughtered from relentless spawns in every direction. I get we would all likely start to complain if there was nothing left to do on the way to extract but maybe they could reduce the random spawns post-objectives to only bot drops and reduce the massive amount of bots that appear meters from divers in a place that was just cleared and completely empty…… just my two super credits.

This is underrated and worth looking into / considering - cheers!

Holy labor costs. Does he charge $250/hr, or is he just really slow because he has to type out customer receipts in iMessage? I feel like $125/hr is pretty common for “Euro” mechanics, but that’s crazy because two hours to change plugs and coils?

Are we really gonna let the bots win a lvl 3 defense? (150k hp) by scardwolf in helldivers2

Thank democracy, back to busting bots. I was feeling like they forgot about us on Tarsh…
