A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

also you don't need fancy degrees you can just go to the library. I encourage all to go get a library card. Smile and wave at your librarians... low pay and death threats

I have four degrees, and after spending nearly $1 million on my education, I still can’t get a job. I make a pittance doing freelance gig work on the Internet working from home.

Seriously, kiddies, do some research before you invest in a degree(s) that could easily be worthless. No one likes a broke know it all

I’m serious: I know 95% more than anyone I will ever meet, and that gets me nothing but a boatload of disappointment and student loan debt.

The whole system is rigged and the empire is at the root. I am not against degrees by the way. I like smarty pants!
