  • Not a repair tech, but this matches my experience maintaining and repairing my appliances. My early 80s whirlpool range and oven have had small issues here and there, but generally require swapping one part hidden behind some screws and will take under an hour. My Samsung dishwasher not only does a piss poor job, it also throws LC codes every few days. After the fourth time pulling it from the cabinet I had to put a series of shims to lift the leak sensor off the drip tray and buy a separate Wi-Fi moisture detector. My Samsung fridge (4yo) has a broken door ice dispenser and intermittently decides not to dispense water too. Old LG unit had a linear compressor that shit the bed three times before they refused to do any more warranty work on it.






  • I set low initial expectations at my job, automated and simplified nearly every task. I work less than 20 hours a week on average. I have time for basically all my hobbies and get to spend tons of time with my kid and wife. It may be a grey cubicle and annoying but it pays well and i can get fulfillment elsewhere. Feel like anybody trying to get fulfilling experiences from work is looking at the picture upside down














  • As a millennial I get your anger, but the guy you’re responding to is right. An average working boomer had no more say in the policies enacted than you or I and the majority will be flat broke by the time they die, outlook isn’t much better for Gen X either. The establishment has done a wonderful job running us around and keeping us focused on the wrong fights. They’ve done it so well that even saying it sounds like a conspiracy theory to me when I know it to be true.

    The tax rates for the ultra wealthy need to be increased to post WW2 levels, we need to get corporate money out of politics and the news. The people in power hold nearly all the cards and have convinced everyone the cards we hold are useless or immoral. The truth is we need better ways to organize and connect with local like-minded people to pool resources, hinder competition and bring the oligarchs down.
