I pointed out that the people in those photos screaming at Ruby Bridges are still alive and vote like mad and my brother was flabbergasted.

Yeah they definitely do. Part of why im very liberal with blocking. I catch even the faintest whiff of that shit and its an immediate block.

Non-profit sector. You won't be making bank, but you will be putting your expertise to use in a way that is useful instead of just making as much money as possible at every turn. I work for a small member org and I get to write all the policies around everything tech. We have literally no use case for AI especially considering our imperative is to protect member data. Its wonderful. I am paid enough and know that my efforts go to protecting workers not extorting them. Also, my job is not at risk at all. I found a niche that I think many of us would be happy in but you have to drop the ego. Im not making 300k, but im not a cog in a horrible corpo machine. Worth it.

They dont.

San Diego has a delicious blend of Baja ingredients and flavors and an American sense of too much. Case in point, the california burrito. Carne asada, french fries, guacamole are the essential ingredients. From there pico, cheese, sour cream are other common inclusions. They are delicious. I nominate carne asada fries as well. Its basically the ingredients i listed above without the tortilla, think like chili cheese fries but with carne and guac. So good.

Im with you! Unfortunately, a lot of small business owners are the most capitalist minded people around. That was a very sad revelation for me in my earlier adulthood. Just gotta keep searching for the good ones because they are around.
