If you exclude blocked instances, you're a lot higher than #5...

My home town is in bald eagles' historic habitat, but there were never any growing up. In the past decade or so, they've started to reclaim it, which is pretty cool.

Yeah, we're destroying the planet, but we are doing some things right. And this sort of good stuff only happens because we fight for it.

The amount of money you save (and invest) isn't accurately depicted with this though. Living expenses don't necessarily grow with take home, if you keep lifestyle creep to a minimum.

So what this means is that if you make $100k and save $10k/year, if you start making $200k you can save the same $10k/year, plus the entire additional $100k after taxes (let's just say that's $50k+). So you doubled your salary but your savings went up 6x+.

Not sure why you're saying Python forces everything to be object oriented...?

Wouldn't 25 year olds still be in school for their doctorates though?

Yes, I think that's the point


they skew the numbers upwards.

"Chain migration" is how many people


myself included


get jobs.

I went to a very good school, and while I like to think the quality of education is what makes a school "good," let's be honest


the value is largely in your connections. Friend lands a good job, recommends you when there's an opening, and bam, you're already at the top of the pile of the CVs (better yet, they're the hiring manager).

Friends from school


peers and mentors alike


are a great place to start, if you can. Ask to grab a coffee and chat about their career, and be clear that you're in the market. Most people are happy to chat (at the very least, it's flattering).

It's the way the world works...

My hunch is that this is not restricted to TikTok...

I particularly like the truck/engine correction.

Costco focus on quality over quantity

...which sounds hilarious, given it's Costco! But I agree, at least in their stores (as in, they don't necessarily offer a huge variety of any particular items, but the one they have is


for my money


usually good quality).

One thing to keep in mind


the US is huge, both geographically and culturally. Flying from Los Angeles to Boston is further than London to Baghdad.

And likewise, the cultural "distance" between, say, New England or the Pacific Northwest and the deep south is extreme.

Of course there are things that affect (nearly) all Americans, but some context is important.
