I'm glad I got into restaurant management out of high school. I had no idea at the time that I enjoyed managing a team and running a department so much more than I would end up enjoy coding or just sitting in a chair for 8 hours and I'd probably be miserable if I went straight into grognard stuff

biology is a lot more solid than modern econ dude

modern econ is like alchemy. it's a proto-science that can get a few things right some of the time, but is stuck in a false paradigm that invalidates a lot of its work, even the work that is technically sound, because so many false assumptions are built into the basic theories

marx is closer to being a chemist than an alchemist tho

for real

psychology is a more solid "soft science" than econ and they're just now figuring out what questions to even ask

The fundamentals of econ are about as horseshit as the fundamentals of physics. i.e. They're both technically true and the math works out, but lol if those situations could ever exist or match the results IRL. Econ is a social science with regards to actually statistically analyzing markets and stuff and is about as valid as Biology in that regard.

Piketty's book Capitol really gets into this, and he lambasts the current econ field esp in the States for its theoritical stances instead of working with other social sciense.

This is the most idiotic way to write and pass a bill.


I am 100% not joking when I say it would have been less retarded if they would have just passed something that said "OBAMACARE IS ABOLISHED" and left the actual ACA in place without doing anything. At least that way they wouldn't be kneecapping the health insurance industry while making a symbolic FUKK U to Obama and Dems.

I still like doing design stuff and I still really like field work from time to time (I'm in engineering, not coding), but it sure is nice to just dump all of the tedious poo poo I hate like documentation and procedure writing onto other people so I can shitpost more.

In high school I wanted to go into computer science so I could make video games! Thank god I decided to go engineering instead.
