I work in the field of “making stuff” in the US. Believe it or not after a 2 year downswing, manufacturing seems to be on a bit of an upswing.
This isn’t because Trump is bringing manufacturing back. It’s because businesses are realizing Trump isn’t a threat like they thought he would be and can bank on him chickening out on extreme policy.
I could be wrong though.
Oh, shit. Here comes lemmy.ml.
I know you are trying and that’s important, but don’t take things too seriously, brother.
You’re a good person if you even think about trying to do the right thing. All roads lead to the heat death of the universe.
Enjoy the ride.
I buy from Walmart. Who cares? Not all of Lemmy are perfectionist lifestyle dweebs. I avoid it when I can, I buy stuff when I can’t.
Do what you can and don’t hate yourself
Where did you get the tea?
That’s a good point, I guess.
Why are you so upset all of a sudden? Are you ok?
Oh, no way you just said that! No way, dude! I can’t believe you just said that!
You’re here. Is that not enough hope?
Dios mio.
Fists people. But in all seriousness, it looks like their favorite thing to do is be a dick to people on Lemmy.
Probably best they stay away from children.
I’m sorry, but every human being from every generation has suffered from fear for their children. The future is always unknown. There’s always been a looming future doom. The future of the climate is unprecedented, but so was the advent of the nuclear bomb. So was the advent of the trebuchet. So was the advent of steel.
The only certainty about the future is uncertainty. While absolutely terrifying, my view on it was even though it’s scary, I’ll give it a shot.
I do fear for my children’s future, but so has every human who ever had children. I enjoy the here and now and carry the hope that masses truly care for each other and always will.
I may take long breaks, but I’ve never fully given up on a hobby.
They congratulated us. If we faked it, Russia would have faked it first.
But if they peacefully gather in protest, it will be considered a riot and people will be hurt.
I was looking at pictures of Mars’ surface from Curiosity with my uncle who is a lunar landing and science denier. He said, “That could be taken at any desert on Earth.” I was like NO SHIT! You mean to tell me that other planets have rocks too?!?! No fucking way! What do you expect it to look like?
You and your 6th grade reading level somehow outsmarted two generations of NASA scientists and their massive coverup and lies about space exploration? No, you fucking dunce.
Have the black people in Louisiana tried being white?
I’m sure people have said similar things about inventions in the past that now shape our everyday lives.
My parents were shitty gift people. Always things like clothes I don’t want or gift certificates. Then I met my wife. She sucks at it too. She takes a trip to Target the day before and just buys junk that she thinks I would like.
I play Tears of the Kingdom a lot with my 8 year old. She loves it. We don’t allow her on YouTube without us, so she always forces me to watch TOTK funny videos. This year she got me a blanket with Link on it. I teared up a bit.
I get depressed on my birthday every year. Another year older, not much to show for it.My parents even forgot last year. But this little girl thought about something that she did with me and makes her happy and got it for me. I will cherish it forever.
Garmin Instinct 2 Watch. I like the look of it.
Innioasis Y1 Digital Audio Player. I love it. Looks like the classic iPod.
