  • Honestly, with a copy of Wikipedia you could probably restart civilization pretty well.

  • If nothing else this game has done absolutely amazing art direction so far.

  • Hardware/home improvement store loader. If you bother to learn about a department and help customers load their shit the tradesmen and contractors will offer you a job on the spot. At least in my experience.

    Bonus points if you drive a fork lift.

  • But saying "try nepotism" is way funnier.

  • Try nepotism. I know a guy looking for a job the 'normal' way (job boards, ads) and it ain't working. Didn't work for me either over the course of a year. I got my current job though a friend of a family member, and at least two friends have offered to get me a job where they work (although I'd much prefer to starve than work where they do).

    Oh and don't quit before you've got something lined up. I made that mistake last time (see: no work for a year). It was pretty cool until my savings ran dry.

  • God damn i hate what the Internet has become, i can barely even comment on YouTube

  • Unless you are wildly out of their preferred environment, not really.

  • That's just phantasmal killer!

  • Yes, exactly

  • Neat. I love the underwater but not setting I'm seeing.

  • He definitely won't deliver the moon, but i am interested in seeing what is made

  • Glad at least one state has it's shit together.

  • That's a minor character from RWBY, in the later seasons when the show gets bad.

  • Thought it was factory default, but once i started browsing the net i realized it was a bit more complex than that. Maybe i downloaded some malware at some point?

  • That sounds more interesting ngl

  • You really have issues, my guy. Your obsession with authority is something you should get help shedding.

    First and foremost, yes a layman should pick those jobs up. It's not difficult to get the basics down and to safely work on things. Ffs sounds like you are terrified of even changing your own oil. i don't expect people to swap out their own engines or build their own OS, but plenty of 'advances' knowledge can be learned in a week and be useful.

    Secondly; the reason it's competitive is because the number of doctors is artificially lowered by government intervention, not most people failing out of school or some shit. It's also common knowledge to anyone who has ever worked in or adjacent to the medical industry that plenty of people in it are complete morons; hell there is a worryingly high number of anti-vaxxers even! Which i didn't appreciate you comparing me to, jackass.

    The lay person can have access to plenty of research materials, they just aren't bundled in a major network, and many tools that you'd need to watch out for in self medication are cheaply available from smaller clinics.

  • Plenty of people in every profession are idiots, doctors included. They are no more special than mechanics or programmers.

    The 'strict vetting process' is only a method of keeping the supply of doctors low. Literally, that isn't conspiracy. Edit: although that is a u.s. issue specifically.

    This in no way sounds like anti-vax rhetoric? Doing actual research and doing something that doesn't affect others is literally the exact opposite of what those people stand for.

    The human body is just another machine. You can learn it as easily as you can learn how to fix whatever horrible sound you engine is making. The only advantage a doctor has over a layman is more direct access to resources (both knowledge, as in easy access to research, and tools, such as blood tests), but that doesn't exclude a random from using those resources themselves.

  • As long as you know what you're getting into i don't see the big deal. Doctor aren't some higher beings, hell a lot of them are idiots, you don't need a fancy piece of paper to understand a science (let alone a niche as small as medicine as it's applicable to you specifically). Just put the legwork in before hand and you can probably even do minor surgery on yourself just fine.

    Although this does not comment on the legality of substance that would be used for that, the law has no baring on right and wrong.

  • God Christianity has been such a force for evil.
