Well, we haven’t reached the peak yet, tho. Afaik global population is going to peak at around 10 billion people somewhere in the 60s. We will see how much land climate change will render unusable for farming until then as well. So a food shortage is still not completely off the table, I think. Well, at least if we continue to use most of the crops to feed livestock, and not us humans directly.

And if not food, but access to enough fresh water willl probably be a huge issue in the future.

If it’s an emergency, I expect getting called. Cos who tf texts when shit’s on fire?

Bro turns his car into a sauna

The US doing sth right was not on my Bingo card for 2026 lol

Looks like prison food lol

Sounds like the vacuous slop u would find some narcisstic corpo post on LinkedIn lol

Don’t forget pfas

You need to stop drinking paint, it’s not healthy.

You make it sound it’s a black or white thing (not racially ofc, but in a binary sense). Hybrid working would solve both issues; it reduces traffic without losing the social component completely. Most people don’t need/want 100% home office; just having 2-3 days a week where you can work from home would already be a complete gamechanger, because you gain a lot of flexibility.

Yeah no that’s just plain wrong. Even in countries with good infrastructure/public transport it can still take ages to get to work, even if you live in the same city. Cities are just too big; you can’t really choose to live close to your workplace, especially in this current housing crisis.

Public transit basically doesn’t exist in the US outside of metropolitan areas lol

Still more durable than US paper houses lolol

Well, you could see the distance between the bed and the desk as a commute

Well, the IT job market can change very quickly, so it is very difficult to predict what the job market will look like when you enter it in around 6 years (I assume that’s how long it will also take in the US to get a Bachelor + Master?). It could be that in 6 years the AI bubble has popped and dumb managers will realize that AI can’t replace every Software Developer.

I’d say go ahead and study CS, and if you can’t find a job as a Software Developer, you can then look in neighboring IT fields, such as System Administrator, where you (for example) have to administrate Linux servers, and since you say you already have experience with this, it should give you an advantage in applications.

I thought we are all communists here on Lemmy? So the concept of ownership doesn’t exist and everything belongs to everyone?

This is very likely form the US where u need to be 21 to buy beer. So even a 20 year old would be a child to you? This is dumb af.

You’re right, edited it, thx.

Kinda ironic how people say we live in a cost of living crisis but then people also have always money at hand to throw it out the window for top level consumerism stuff. People have no self-restraint, do they

Edit: self-restraint, not self-constraint

I think u overlooked what community this was posted in lol

Cos of the Boomer Managers. Boomers are allergic to changes lol
