That's awesome, best wishes! Sorry about your medical situation, I get stress/anxiety myself so can commiserate.

I'm not down voting you and I applaud chasing your dreams, but a well paying, stable, fully remote job is not something to give up lightly.

Maybe that's why people are down voting you? Not that they should but people be people.

Personally, I'm just some schlub on the internet, but I'd strongly advise you to reconsider leaving that kind of financial stability. At the very least you'll need a pretty good amount of money saved up to live off of. Most indie games aren't successful, most indie game companies fail. There's a gigantic risk for you and a huge lost opportunity cost (your income & benefits, particularly benefits like health insurance if you're in the USA) just to get started and on top of that you have to make something people want to buy.

Not doubting your talents but people would kill to be in your spot (remote, well paid, full time) - I'd think long and hard about the risk you're accepting.

I do, however, wish you well and hope you succeed beyond your wildest expectations! Just something to chew on.

I can appreciate that, I just simp for the admech. They do follow a religious order that's seeped into everything but just because they're theatrical doesn't mean they're ignorant of how things are working. It just means they fix stuff with style!

On the other hand there definitely is the tech that is unknown and they have a hard time reproducing really good lost tech from the ancient times. Ok maybe they just have a bachelor's! 😅

Bruh did you make admech the highschool diploma? The ones literally responsible for the tech in the whole Imperium? Come on they're at least masters!!

No ... I think they mean obviously the bourgeoisie 1% making all the real money while the rest of us fight over the scraps.

You're being weird calling this Nazi shit. It just isn't.

they should have [thing that already exists]

Nobody reads the article though...

Well, at least here in the USA, we already are spending the money. Getting worse results than the rest of the world and spending more money on it. Because private health insurance is a joke and we're all the punchline.

But they rolled out electricity, and they rolled out PSTN, so the justification was found in those cases.

Yeah, the justification was the federal government basically forcing providers to do that. Remember back in 2008 when we handed a bunch of money to telecom companies to expand their networks? Then they laughed at us and just kept the money and basically said fuck you? That also was a part of this act, or at least related to it, since broadband was added to it as an amendment in 2008.

Anyways, point being the companies didn't roll our electricity and pstn to rural areas out of the goodness of their heart or even a strict profit motive. It took a literal act of congress for it to happen.

Okay I didn't watch the video until looking at your link and saw the whole "he started saying migrant wrong" bullshit and was like, "okay maybe that is what happened.". No, this dude straight throws a hard r n word out casually, unmistakable as anything else.

Like I said you're either a troll or a bot, but either way you definitely aren't making any sense. When I read an article about something completely unrelated it doesn't make something else more real. Because that's madness.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah ... No that's not true at all. It's crazy that you even believe that. I mean, I don't think you do, I think you're a troll with an agenda because believing that is insane.

The only gaslighting going on is by the MAGA folks and QAnon conspiracy crowd. The reasonable people understand this is made up bullshit. Fuck even JD Vance just said it's made up.
