@ShepGoesBlep @Kangazeroo @Chipflake Hmmm. That color looks familiar. Wonder if anyone owns a vette in that color

@Spottyroo Ya may wanna look into those arms, the solid ones without a heim joint at one end are known for ripping brackets off the frame.
English
@t1000polyalloy Its so bad if you entry level right now, I was searching for 1.5 years of unemployed or underemployed before I got picked up by my current job. And I'm still kinda underemployed as its more of a technician role than an engineering role.
(At least I get OT, unlike most engineers)
English
Ok but is this actually true?
Do engineers not get hired anymore?

@MetalFolf @ShepGoesBlep I spend too much on cars, can't afford new art xD.

@That_Flying_Fox @ShepGoesBlep I just got straight whiplash seeing your pfp

@303SnowWolf That's fair lol. I just know last time I looked at electrics, they were really expensive for what you got. (At least for new bikes)
English
@That_Flying_Fox Not ideologically opposed to a gas bike, but my thinking with electric is I get free power at the airport so if it has >30 miles of range I’d never pay to charge it
English
@CertifiedLeggi The lines and such really remind me of the power stroke concept from the 90s

@EightTrck One of the big compressor companies (the tan and red ones) does this with everything from their small compressors all the way through their giant industrial ones, and of course they have the flag all over them and proudly say "assembled in America"

@RaizSuiting @303SnowWolf Before I was picked up by my current company, I was unemployed/underemployed for nearly 2 years.
English
@That_Flying_Fox @303SnowWolf It's bad in all sectors. I specialize in quality control for manufacturing and aerospace and I've been out of work since January. I've put in a ton of applications and only heard back from a very few of them

About 2600 pilots (according to ALPA) just got dumped into an already suuuuper saturated and depressing hiring market. I’m not sure how the airlines will absorb Spirits customers, planes and pilots, but in the short term it’s gonna be ruff

I’ve been telling people this for close to two years now. Doesn’t make it less sad. I’m so sorry for all the folks at Spirit. I hope you all find a soft landing quickly.
English
@garbitchman They're hoping for the jackpot, like a laptop or something.
English
@7V0B0DY Yes, but soon enough you'll be able to walk, run, and sprint in suit.
English
how do yall walk the whole con in giant digi legs???? just walking around my house im tripping over the feet I have never worn a fursuit before does it take practice ?
English
@Vanos_BunShep Oh same. My fur is toolong and my heat tolerance is ass. I can’t suit outdoors much in this weather.
English

✅Do- invite me to do thangz

@t1000polyalloy Hi. Yes. I do. Just sell your soul to Field service and you will.

Who in Gen Z is making over 90k tho?
That sounds like top 10%
daz@MetamateDaz
Boomers needed ~2 years of an average household income ($10K in 1970) to pay for an average house ($20K in 1970). Millennials needed ~3years of an average household income ($40K in 2000) to pay for an average house ($120K in 2000). Gen Z needs ~4 years of an average household income ($90K in 2026) to pay for an average house ($360K in 2026). You have to work twice as hard or twice as long to have the same living standards. Broken system.
