I used to consume drugs, and I'm cool and have mental health problems, so, both!

OceanSoap ,

It just depends.

I moved back in with my mom for about 4 years while I went back to school. I moved out 2 months after I graduated, once I secured a job in my new field.

OceanSoap ,

I'm so tired of this dumb trope. No, your self-diagnosis is not helpful. And yes, you can get diagnosed if you're poor. There are many ways to do so, you dont have to go through a fancy psychiatrist, and the US public Healthcare system will actually pay for it.

OceanSoap ,

Sounds a lot like this place too, honestly.

Not knocking people with similar beliefs hanging out together, but it's wild yousay that and don't see that in lemmy.

yawn here we go with over generalizing for the "other" when your side on the extreme takes the same action.

Ok well I AM knocking conservatives when they hang out in groups, they become incredibly toxic and violent in their beliefs and they become dangerous even to the existence of a basic apparatus of federal government (see January 6th). Stillups, they become incredibly toxic and violent in their beliefs and they become dangerous even to the existence of a basic apparatus of federal government (see January 6th).

Lol, right off the bat, like the extreme left have any respect for the apparatus of federal government. 🙄🙄 (see blm riots, where protesters in Portland attacked and caused damage to The Courthouse, The Edith Green-Wendall Wyatt Federal Building, the Gus J. Solomon U.S Courthouse, The Pioneer Courthouse, and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement building.)

I don't even gotta respond to anything else. Find it in one, you find it in the reflection of the other.

OceanSoap ,

Lol, your reply is why no one with any common sense who has seen the videos both can take you seriously.

I'm a Substation Designer. I work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to design the layouts for electricity sites that transfer high-voltage electricity to low-voltage, and low-voltage to high-voltage. You drive by a few of these sites every day most likely, as they're a massive part of our electrical grid.

I stumbled into this job by accident, and I'm really glad I did, because I love it. :)

OceanSoap ,

Do you operate those from above ground or do you operate inside of them as they move through the earth? Super interesting!

OceanSoap ,

I vote all electricians be called power rangers from now on.

OceanSoap ,

Can I ask how your day-to-day is? Is it stressful, or with long hours?

I've always wanted to get into aerospace, but it's such a tough market to get into!!

OceanSoap ,

Which partif the grid?

OceanSoap ,

You got this! I went back to school in my mid-30s, and now 2 years after graduating, my life is immensely better. :)

Of course, I went from no degree to an associates, so a bit different in terms of degrees, but it definitely helped.

OceanSoap ,

Oh, okay, interesting. I do physical substation design, so there's a lot of overlap there. Just right now I'm slogging through conduit details, lol

OceanSoap ,

Oh, that is super slow, but very, very cool. What a view of the world that most people don't get to see!

Go to college for something that you can get a good job in. I have an associates and my friend has a masters. I make more than she does, and always have in our respective carriers.

Just saying "fuck the expense" is the reason she got her batchelors in art sculpting, and had to get a masters in something more practical.

OceanSoap ,

I got to learn a bit of MasterCAM in school, it was fun!

OceanSoap ,

Now n' Laters. They're actually all nows and none laters, I can down 4 boxes easy in one sitting.

OceanSoap ,

Yes, i love my job. I design substations. I feel like my work matters, and I get a thrill that I have a hand in bringing our electricity power grid to life.

OceanSoap ,

Small-scale landlords also usually have full time jobs and use rent to supplement their income. Not every landlord is just rolling in cash.

OceanSoap ,

The people who are actually angry tend to be FOSS advocates. I think they were assuming Sync would have a FOSS type option for users, and were surprised that wasn't the case.

The rest of us just think it's funny.

I'm a sync user, btw
