Sort of related, in my last year and a half of HS I started a commercial electrician assistant program which was supposed to be like an accelerated apprenticeship path. I kind of liked it, and it legitimately the best pay available to a 17 year old at the time, but it was the master electrician I worked with who convinced me to quit and go get an EE degree instead. I distinctly remember the conversation where he asked me how old I thought he was, and I guessed he was close to 60, nearing retirement. He was 43, and he’d fallen off a ladder a year earlier, which was why I was doing all work over 8’ for him way fucking beyond what your typical HS assistant would normally be doing. “Go to college” he told me. “I chose this instead of Mechanical Engineering and now I can’t do the job anymore, with 20 years to retirement.”

Harambe died for this

One guy spends a summer implementing a backprop algorithm in CUDA and now my mom thinks butterflies are stealing her blood at night.

It’s also massively over hyped imo. I did the last one and the coolest part was the shadows, but the actual darkness was super underwhelming. Hearing everyone say it was like some spiritual experience makes me roll my eyes a bit. It got dark for a bit. It does that shit every day smh.

See: the people still pushing DNC conspiracy theories almost a decade later.

People in the US eat raw eggs all the time. Salmonella outbreaks from eggs are almost unheard of.

Also, washed or unwashed, eggs will keep longer in the fridge. And it makes for a less cluttered pantry. There’s really zero reason for Europeans to be smug about this.

Maybe your wife is gay

The hexbears would be very upset about this if they could read.

How are you supposed to fuck without some fucking beans?
