Yea, embrace it. Think about the most ridiculous things you’ve ever heard other people say. Oh, you can only remember maybe 5? 10? Realize that the one dumb thing you said is most likely not on the list.

And if it is? Congratulations you made an imprint on someone else. You’ll be remembered.

Yes, I do, because we are many and we persevere.

Here we are celebrating Labor Day, the day that celebrates workers rights - overtime pay for working over 40 hours, limiting children from having to work in factories, weekends and time off.

It was a hard fight from serfdom to poor factory conditions to now. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

There’s a growing wisdom gap coming in America. The people who are already well versed in company practices and culture are going to use AI to complete the tasks that they would have otherwise given to assistants and junior resources.

The junior resources are going to struggle to find jobs because they are lacking in the KSAs that schools simply cannot provide training for. And that means when us Gen Xers and later Millenials retire there could be a major gap where we have few people with that inherent knowledge to replace us. And where there’s no work and no hope, you get something akin to what is starting to occur in China right now…or revolt.

My hope is that schools will be rethought and there will be a lot more focus on getting an internship early and for the long term. Something more like apprenticeships, which the blue collar workforce maintained, but it’s something we’ll likely need to bring back to white collar jobs.

This isn’t to say that schools should diminish a well rounded education. I think it’s extremely important for students to take electives outside of their focus for a multitude of reasons, one being that it helps students realize the importance of how others contribute to society.

Apprenticeships can help to fill the knowledge gap, but the white collars that are in the jobs now will also need to be retrained and made comfortable to work with a large influx of apprentices to make this approach a success.

These are the useless kind of you should know facts that I need in my life.

Could hot dogs serve the same purpose in a pinch?

I would have preferred it in the form of a limerick, but that’s why I listen to NPR.

Your majesty, your chariot awaits.

I don’t understand humans. Everybody says they wish they could find a partner as loyal as their dog.

…but then you sniff one butt and you get the newspaper.

Yous askin too many questions, bub. Keep askin and ya may just find out.

I would expect about a quarter of any national population to be conservative, perhaps even deeply conservative. There will always be people who appeal to some fantasy of the past or who take comfort in the magical thinking of nationalism and religion, particularly in times of stress.

I think it is important to acknowledge that progress is an uphill march that takes time and constant dedication. To progress, you must appeal to the remaining 75% enough to get them to vote.

Well, this one certainly is in shittier taste than most posts.

If there was anything that could fit as the allegory to a second gilded age, this fits the bill.

Bozos renting out all of Venetia is a close second.

Not with that attitude! What has become of us? We used to do big things like put monkeys on the Empire State Building.

Ok so that covers the post part.

Hellraiser and the original Dune. Claymation looks so fake now, but it didn’t back then.

You know those movies as a young kid that you watch over and over? This was mine. From like 7 to 12 I would have these recurring dreams of a school with a flag in front and then going the stairs into a basement. I wondered where the hell it was coming from, then I watched the intro to the movie again in my 20s.

If not arachnophobia, then perhaps starship troopers?

Dude’s heels were probably sinking into the dirt during press conferences.

I wonder what kind of entry fee he’s going to concoct now that it has been new and ruined improved.

Yeah, why is this a shitpost? It’s more of a life hack.

I’m assuming you already know about the Illinois district that’s shaped like a U?
