  • Well, I guess specifically in my industry it doesn’t really matter.

    I work in tech and am entirely self taught; I dropped out of college (majoring in English) because of untreated adhd. Got a computer and learned to program and learned Linux.

    Meanwhile I see a lot of fresh out of school college grads show up and don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to actually writing software for the real world.

    They learn over time, but college doesn’t teach them anything of practical value for programming… afaict.











  • Shit, I’m wrong.

    Five years ago my step kids were riding in the car with their dad and some car side swiped him.

    They pulled over and while their dad was calling the cops, the other car pulled up along side them and fired and gun at their car. No one was hurt, but they coulda been.

    Not a MASS shooting i guess, but god damned closed enough.

    Of course the cops were completely useless despite having the dashcam footage and the license plate number.
