You have just described how every evangelical infantalizes “God’s” will. These are learned psychological frameworks that are being copy pasted between different control vectors at will at this point.

I am serious when I say there is no conceivable way to deprogram and reprogram the vast majority of them. The goal needs to be a total social and economic embargo. Completely exclude them from our lives in any way possible.

I think I’m good on that, but you do you m8.

I wanted to use 4chan

I am relatively confident that you are one of the first people to ever type that sentence out.

Even if they learned exactly like humans do, like so fucking what, right!? Humans have to pay EXORBITANT fees for higher education in this country. Arguing that your bot gets socialized education before the people do is fucking absurd.

I think you mean teXas 😂

I’m not sure what the Microsoft screen capture thing has to do with anything in this conversation. I wasn’t aware of that, but I will look into since you mentioned it though.

But if OP is posting a link to a legit article. That’s not an opinion, that’s facts.

Something can be a legitimate news article from a reputable source, and still be full of horseshit and misinformation. So, I fail to see your point. Also, I’m not sure that downvoting really matters on Lemmy because it doesn’t hide content or comments the way it does on Reddit, so who cares?

I dare one of them to show up to my front door. They are going to be in for a fucked up conversation that will make them second guess their life choices.

Never underestime the infinite nature of human stupidity.

Did you call moi a dipshit!?

This was fantastic information. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post, I sincerely appreciate it.

I actually came from a previous retail background as well, and built a small business from 1 location making $1.5 million annually to four locations making $20 million annually in 6.5 years. The owner made the decision to sell the business after surviving all of the stress during COVID, and that is what started me back on my education journey.

I developed basically every system in that business myself from the ground up, through blood sweat and tears. So for this next chapter of my life I am looking to take my career more in the tech mercenary direction for lack of a better term where I am out to focus on developing my own skills in order to live the life I want to live on my own terms as much as is reasonably possible.

So, your advice really resonates with me, and was an extremely valuable addition to my thought process.

Thank you for your response. I think my main concern with no acquiring a degree is being taken seriously as a candidate for jobs. I also want to make sure that I set myself up for success my acquiring the foundational knowledge that will allow me to be a quick efficient learner as I am presented with opportunities to learn new technologies. I will take this advice under advisement though, and make sure that I am being a good consumer in how I spend my money. I am definitely looking to maximize my return on investment, and cut out all the fluff from the education process where possible.

I’ve never seen it, but now I’m going to watch it too. Thanks OP!
