The key to a good rise is less yeast, more time. Just a little yeast will do given enough time since they have little babby yeast.

It’s the classic lib stance of “we tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.”

They would rather give up and die than lift a finger to even attempt to build a better world

True story actually. My grandpa lived in Nazi Germany and when the SS came to take them to the camps he said “woah hold on there, I voted.” The SS apologized profusely and moved on to the next house because we all know that voting is the best way to stop violent fascist takeovers.

Find organizations in your neighborhood and donate time and money to them. Easy as that. You can still be useful to the revolution. There are a ridiculous amount of real solid leftist organizations in Chicago depending on your flavor so get at them

As someone who did project management and now does product management it’s not as menial as you think. The work isn’t hard but it boils down to a line of people at your desk all day with dumb questions. You have to context switch every 5 minutes and when you do actually have shit to do the only way to do it is to hide or pretend you’re in a meeting so people don’t ask you the same dumb questions they ask you every single week.

The grass isn’t always greener, trust me. I’ve done most jobs folks do in tech and it’s the same shit in a different context. Finding chill people is the important thing, the job you do is less so

Yeah I worked my way to product specifically. Took a couple of big risks and a big pay cut / career change at a real shitty company to do it but it paid off. Product is tough to get in to since there isn’t like one set of skills required for it. I’m very lucky to be where I am. The key is to find your way to a small place that talks about career growth, telling them you want to move into product, and then hoping they keep their end of the bargain.

Hopefully you find a better way in than that hell though

One big fear is that immigrants, legal or not, won’t do the census for fear of some negative repercussions so it’s likely that they will be under represented in this year’s census.

You can do the census and nobody is gonna come check if you did it accurate or not. Feel free to accidentally check the wrong box for race to help offset some of the former

It’s real posadist hours here rn

It’s like the passive voice of racism

I’m so smart that I can’t possibly learn anything from reading. Checkmate … Uh … Well read people
