I’m a Food Lion man. The reason being is that aside from the checkout line, I’m rather certain no Food Lion has had its interior updated in 25 years. It’s a normal, bog-standard grocery store, that is so frill-less and basic that the only Shin Ramen is spicy and it isn’t because black and gold are out of stock. It’s all they thought to get.

Mechanic work is still alright. Yeah, the field is saturated, but the pool is like 80% drunks/unreliable. If you’re even mildly responsible and know your way around wrenches and cutting and hacking on steel, you’ll go far. That said, you don’t have far to go. Everyone old either died or quit and the last one is your boss.

Once you’re in a shop, getting paid, bonding with the crew and settling in, it’s extremely stable. I’m a forklift mechanic at <redacted>, but any experience with any form of truck or carts carries from job to job. The pay is ‘meh’ but it’s enough to live on, buy drugs and a hobby or two. No home or retirement for us, though unless you own a shop.

so… own a shop?

Those types of mechanics know everybody or have a group of clients already,… and they can afford property. Who can afford property? They can, apparently. You could do mobile mechanic work and/or do roadside assistance for insurance companies, but there’s hoops to that too.

There’s tons of work. Sure, the whole world’s gone to shit,… but as a mechanic, that’s good news. You can’t lie to automobiles, they break good economy or bad, and being blunt with rich fucks who think everything is easy to get and cheap is always a treat.

You know what?! I was!!

Dreamworks knows what they did, homogenizing every single cover.

Social media told me gradeschoolers can’t read now. I guess they don’t want all those nonsense symbols everywhere.

I don’t expect the majority to do anything, but I also don’t think Lemmy needs them to validate its existence. We validate it just fine already.

People need to change their ideas about what the fedi/threadiverse is in relation to social media. It is an international forum of everything.

The lemmy.ml situation is heavily offset by instances that either limit them or block them enitrely, as well as Piefed acting as a direct foil.

The *iverse cannot be unified entirely. Lemmy/Piefed/Mastodon and Pixelfed should be seen as a platform unto themselves where one may find likeminded people. It is not tailored to anyone’s particular personal taste, and is open to anyone of literally any personal taste.

Lemmy does have a bit of a reputation for being the Fight Club of the fediverse… which is tbh, kinda fair but it kinda comes with the territory - literally. We’re all here and we aren’t all going to agree.

Since when do they need proof to exclaim something backwards and stupid?
