Two people met online and live on opposite sides of the country.

I agree that all jobs need some training, but I think the termology is the real enemy. Like yes a cashier needs training but is it comparable to what is considered "skilled labor/trades" like qualified electriction, plumbers, welders, engineers, etc?

I think everyone should make a living wage and think the terminology is definitely used to oppress and divide but whenever I see these arguments it really feels like people don't see a distinction between the amout of work/time it takes to be competent in these jobs.

I think the big part of it is the required time it takes to be considered competent. Like for arguments sake lets throw out cost of education. The amount of time and effort it takes to be considered a competent surgan is hundreds of times longer than training a competent burger flipper.

Even with grilling there is different skill levels. A professional chef/smoker takes a long time to hone their art.

I think everyone should be paid a living wage, but when people throw trained professionals that require years of experience in with cashiers or fast food cooks it really subtracts from their argument.

We should be trying to elevate all jobs to a living wage while recognizing some jobs are just harder. Otherwise no one will listen.

Person being crushed is protestors/dissenters that is being crushed by a large oppresive whale (police/media/counter protestors) for speakingout against the whale. Other person comes allong to help, raises their voice, and is told to "keep things civil" as if they are the instigators, while the whale is maliciously using its weight to stiffle the oppressed.

Basically the norms and establishment of society is large and unwieldy and can crush any oppsition with no way of retaliation. And if somone points it out, dispite being equally small and cannot truly harm the whale, they are the ones out of line and instigators.

Edit: Words

Were the others not fully electric!?!?! Like obviously they were but the title makes it sound like they built steampunk robots.

Slow march to 40k servitors not looking far fetched. Why develop an AI/algorithm when you have no moral conscience and can just make a human do it.

F has finer whole number resolution for temperatures typically experienced by humans. Obviously C can be represented by decimals, but I tend to think whole numbers are clearer.

Personally I use C and metric for all my scientific work and F for representing outside temperature.

Edit: Phrasing

Third largest US wepons contractor as well.

Edit: Added info about ranking

Care to provide any evidence to support this claim? I would like to have a civil discussion with you about this. /s
