It would would have been cool if you'd left out the vegan propaganda

I have to hard disagree with you there. The beauty of the math equations they test you with in school is completely artificially selected. The vast majority of math does not have nice neat solutions. There is a lot of it that doesn't have any solution at all. The beauty of engineering is figuring out how much of things you actually need. You might calculate that some quantity should be an irrational number for some design optimum, but the amount of precision you actually need will be some range around that. When you do that and see your design in the real world actually functioning, that's the greatest feeling in the world by far.

Just a reminder that insurance is a scam. You are compelled to pay for it under penalty of law in the case of car insurance, and the insurance companies do everything possible to maximize their profits, being for profit companies. What this means in general is that people pay more into insurance than they ever get out. If they didn't the insurance companies wouldn't make a profit. The money you pay isn't going into some huge fund that supports everyone who pays for it. If it doesn't go to paying out claims now it goes straight to the insurance executives, or investors, or to "lobbying" politicians to keep the racket going. The day you stop paying out you get fucking nothing. All that money is just gone, for the pleasure of maybe having your claim paid out if your insurance company can't weasel their way out of paying. Insurance is a scam, a bunch of penny pinching middlemen draining the world of human productivity and effort for their own benefit and nothing else. Any benefit a particular individual happens to get is a loss to be minimized to them.

Those are rookie numbers. You need to pump those numbers up.

You can say bullshit on the internet. You can also say shit. Some more fun words you can use are fuck, cunt, cock, dick, pussy, bitch, and ass. Don't let the cunty puritans win. Don't give in to censorship.

What you're missing is some men legitimately hate their wives and children and dislike spending time with them. Others drank the coolaid of American capitalist propaganda. Your child will only be a newborn once and your wife will need the help. If anything you should be normalizing it by telling all your friends and colleagues how great it is and how happy you are to get to spend that time with your family. Never shut up about how awesome it is. Expound at length about the many benefits you personally enjoyed thanks to your time with your new child. Every man you convince makes the world a better place.

I think your experience highlights the main difference, the ability to leave an instance and disengage with authoritarian assholes without having to leave Lemmy. On reddit your only options are to leave or comply.

This implies the billionaires actually work for their money, when in reality they don't, they exploit the labor of others.

Emotional damage

I remember thinking this when I was a kid. It's such a stupid idea in hindsight it's almost funny. The world literally runs on math, and some of the highest paid careers require a strong understanding and application of math. It's the closest thing we have to magic and people think it's not useful in practical everyday life.

Those naked pictures of your mom

To be honest it's probably all the hot trans-girls turning them down, like there's a conspiracy or something, but hot trans-girls just don't like conservative assholes.
