It's quite the site for basically (as far as I can tell at least) being a repo for an OS. I do enjoy the insanity of it all.

What movie did you watch? That's a terrible take on it. I'm not sure how you could even think that's the message. That's like literally the opposite of the movie's message.

That's awesome, best wishes! Sorry about your medical situation, I get stress/anxiety myself so can commiserate.

I'm not down voting you and I applaud chasing your dreams, but a well paying, stable, fully remote job is not something to give up lightly.

Maybe that's why people are down voting you? Not that they should but people be people.

Personally, I'm just some schlub on the internet, but I'd strongly advise you to reconsider leaving that kind of financial stability. At the very least you'll need a pretty good amount of money saved up to live off of. Most indie games aren't successful, most indie game companies fail. There's a gigantic risk for you and a huge lost opportunity cost (your income & benefits, particularly benefits like health insurance if you're in the USA) just to get started and on top of that you have to make something people want to buy.

Not doubting your talents but people would kill to be in your spot (remote, well paid, full time) - I'd think long and hard about the risk you're accepting.

I do, however, wish you well and hope you succeed beyond your wildest expectations! Just something to chew on.

I can appreciate that, I just simp for the admech. They do follow a religious order that's seeped into everything but just because they're theatrical doesn't mean they're ignorant of how things are working. It just means they fix stuff with style!

On the other hand there definitely is the tech that is unknown and they have a hard time reproducing really good lost tech from the ancient times. Ok maybe they just have a bachelor's! 😅

Bruh did you make admech the highschool diploma? The ones literally responsible for the tech in the whole Imperium? Come on they're at least masters!!

No ... I think they mean obviously the bourgeoisie 1% making all the real money while the rest of us fight over the scraps.

You're being weird calling this Nazi shit. It just isn't.

Alright well now you're just trolling or maybe you were all along. Or you're honestly that dumb.

Dude ... Yeah the customer is the school and the decision is to go with a lower bidder, usually. It depends on the factors the customer, in this case a school system, wants to prioritize and any rules and regulations around it.

You're just playing at semantics at this point.

Like it or not this is a private market we're talking about. Also, I'd challenge the notion that private schools automatically have better cafeterias than public ones. It very much depends on school funding and what they can budget for.

Most educators would prefer better school lunches but the money has to come from somewhere and the way we find schools in the USA by using mostly property taxes, in most states, really causes a lot of inequality. So there is a give and take, like everything else.

At the end of the day a lot of the guidelines boil down to x calories consisting of something that has XYZ nutrients (vitamins/minerals). Whether that's a slice of nutra-loaf or an actual meal is up to who is implementing the guidelines and the money they have.

Oh yes I forgot bidding out contracts to multiple suppliers that are private companies is ... Communism?

It's literally a failing of capitalism (cheapest bidder usually wins the contract) that the lunches aren't better. Be mad about it if you want to, we all should be, there are absolutely problems with school lunches in many districts.

Now you could talk about how there isn't a lot of competition and there are monopolies like Sysco in the food service industry, but still the suppliers for school lunches are privately owned companies in the USA.
