  • Cry me a river. Clinton had a plan to retrain and retool these coal towns your describing into productive green energy leaders and they rejected it because she eats babies and wind farms kill birds, or whatever. They are totally irrational and I’m not going to keep pretending otherwise. The real government failure is lack of education spending and critical thinking skills (thanks GOP) that is going to take generations to correct.

    Edit: I’ll add there are sparks of “hope” in rural america now that farmers are seeing the impacts of climate change effecting their yields, I think they are starting to come around. Probably too late, but it’s something…


  • I never made it into algebra in grade school, my scores weren’t good enough. but I took a liking to software dev and the ability to create digitally. Self taught myself all the variables and flow controls and OOP, now been a professional developer for 15 years.

    However I still suck at math, and these fancy symbols still scare me probably because they were never properly explained. But yeah, I fit right in the mold you describe. Glad I have the computer to crunch the numbers for me.




  • Celebs want to control their image, control their interviews, and above all avoid looking dumb. That can be hard when someone randomly walks up and starts asking questions when you’re just there to take pics and rub elbows while the cars do vroom.

    I stand by that at least half these celebs know nothing about F1. They aren’t cheering for any driver or team, they don’t care about McLarens new upgrades, they got invited through connections and just want a photo taken on the asphalt to add to their IG.
