I would be reluctant to take a factory job, even if it paid more than my college educated job. You are more than likely going to be forced to move to the middle of nowhere to develop hyper-specific skills. Once the company decides they had a bad quarter, they're going to lay you off and you'll face moving away entirely again to find another job. And you'd better hope you were performing tasks with transferable skills, otherwise the next factory is going to start you off on the same five or ten year cycle of working for raises and better positions before it happens all over again.

The modern boom-bust-layoff cycle tells me that I should never invest in a company, because nobody is offering guarantees and they are especially not offering contracts. And if they do, there's no way it'll be for my benefit.

With my college education, I at least know I have transferable skills and have been able to pick an industry I actually enjoy, instead of settling for what was nearby or available.

Whatever bro. I'm doing everything I can without sacrifice my entire life to the meat grinder. The fact that you're still free and not in prison is proof that you haven't done anything more than I have, because all that's left is the illegal shit.

Dumbass. I will never take responsibility for some shit I didn't do. This is the same logic as racism, so get the fuck out of here with you bullshit

Yeah, fuck that guy. It's not fault my a third if the country fell for the propaganda, and a third of the country didn't care enough to even vote. I will not be held personally responsible for convincing all of the American voting populous to get their heads out of their asses.

Sending their children to be mutilated and exploded to death in a foreign country to own the libs lol

Nah. There's too many pieces of shit out there that don't deserve my organs. I revoked my donor status after Trump won in my state.

The fact that other companies will ship things cheaper and quicker than Amazon nowadays means Amazon is at risk

Agreed. The the enemy of my enemy is my, uh, enemy? They both suck lol

 

Doing this at least once or twice a year is sure to maximize the life expectancy of your refrigeration appliances.

 

I've found myself looking for a really good can opener. I purchased my last one, a KitchenAid, from Target and I've been disappointed in it the whole time. Sometimes it doesn't puncture the lid right, and it feels like it got rusty kinda fast--not at all what I want out of a utensil I hoped would last for a decade or more (who wants to keep buying can openers? lol).

I'm looking for a manual handheld can opener. I've always had the type that opens from the top, but a little bit of Googling shows that there are types that open from the side. I'm in the USA if that matters!

What does Lemmy think?
