I got a job! So I decided not to show up. Without a notice.

Take that, skeffery lezos. And I got a better offer with flexible hours, higher pay, and a 18 minute commute. I get mini fridge.

Five for the Price of One

Obligatory statements: first post on reddit, and on mobile so things might be junk. I've only just realized after several months just how much one of my recent jobs took advantage of me. I was in my first year of college and we were in the midst of covid and since I had been displaced from the dorms I needed to find a job to be able to afford to stay in an apartment. I got a job as a cashier/food prep worker for minimum wage + tips. Now this should have been the first red flag, both a cashier and food prep? However I was a dumb kid and this job was one of the first that actually got back to me about my application. Second red flag?

I dream that we get together and use technology to our advantage.

Let’s propose we start a small city. Three problems to overcome. 1-energy. 2-food. 3-waste. Solution to problem number one. Fully autonomous nuclear reactor to power the city. The fully autonomous nuclear reactor would be ran by Boston dynamics style robots. The robots would be (I’ll propose a statistic) 90% self maintained. Solution to problem two. Robotic farms could account for most of farm labor. Farming is largely timing and equipment. The Boston dynamics style robots can run heavy machinery and perhaps even export crops in order to trade for more variety in the food. Solution number three. I’ve been making this post up on the fly, as I go. I will probably edit it when I proof read it so, create small waste treatment plants, ONCE AGAIN ran by robots.
