I hear you. It’s amazing how much some company’s code / projects is allowed to suck.

Not even “my” tiny-little-side-module inside the project source recompiles within 20 seconds… because of absurdly complex and large dependencies to the actual project code.

If you’re thinking about rage quitting a job you don’t even have yet, maybe take a different career from the beginning?

What the hell.

All important things for sure. But life changing implies that this $1000 single handedly turn their life around.

When you are poor the $1000 might be quite a bit of money, and very useful to have, but afterwards you’re still poor. That’s my issue with that kind of statement.

When used to prevent a life and death situation it sure saved your life, but did it turn it around?

That would be indeed life changing. Thanks for the perspective.

AITA for thinking most people who say “$1000 would change my life” would certainly not have their lives changed by that money? In this example, with the new phone being pointed out (4000 for tuition aside), I cant help but imagining he’d just buy a new computer or a pile of games.

Realistically what can $1000 buy (in the US) that actually changes a life?

Dude shouldn’t worry. Kids will understand that he has or had a boring job with not much to talk about… and still be the greatest dad in the world. Kids don’t care about the job of their parents.

Saying “that’s the reality” doesn’t make it a reality. You can repeat it as often as you want, it makes you look like a self absorbed jerk - because it’s simply not true. Just because it’s a nice narrative to push for you not every opponent to nuclear energy is a proponent to coal. Quite the contrary I’d figure.

The single last coal plant started operation in 2020, and none has been “re-opened”. Some are kept in prolonged reserve mode until 2024 (half a year longer than originally planned), IF the Alarmstufe Gas stays in effect.

Maybe try with some verifiable facts and stop lying.

Except nobody is advocating coal. So what do you want to turn back on him exactly?

Just because you developed a hate boner for anyone who’s not on your nuclear train doesn’t mean they’re pro coal. If you need to put words in others people’s mouths to confirm yourself… you’re wrong.

With your reaction you just confirmed what he described.
