I'm looking for primarily a remote position. Most of my experience is on the backend but I'm capable at pretty much every layer of a production webapp/api, frontend, backend, cloud services, etc.
>Lots of people seriously undervalue what homemakers do.
This is a very serious issue with America's current manifestation of capitalism. You have people who are ESSENTIAL to society, EMTs and the like, not even being paid what they would make at walmart or mcdonalds
To say nothing of teachers. I've been saying for years that becoming a US public school teacher is a massive mistake. Now the very same ignorant people who ran their teachers off by accusing them of teaching their kids to be gay or something like that, completely unironically, seem to be becoming only more relevant to the lives of normal people as time goes on. That's the sort of shit you should be afraid to say in public, it really doesn't matter if they actually believe it or even really know what they're saying.
they genuinely believe the shit they see on the TV or are told by Alcoholic bob down at the local 7-eleven parking lot. and now that can't figure out why nobody wants to go to school for 4+ years, likely taking on a substantial amount of debt, to make less than a mcdonalds cashier while dealing with massive political pressure from truly shockingly ignorant people (depending on the state)
I look back on what I remember seeing grown fucking adults say to/accuse teachers of, why would anybody who is genuinely educated ever, ever voluntarily choose to deal with that sort of (in some cases, quite literal) violent ignorance
If EMTs were so hard to find, they would be paid more money. In Massachusetts it’s significantly less training and requirements to be an EMT than a hair stylist (for whatever government-regulated reason).
McDonalds and Walmart jobs are often valued less by people (such as yourself) who see them as some sort of hell-on-earth so the wage reflects the value to the organization and what has to be paid to keep competent people there. McDonalds has created more Latino millionaires than any other company on earth, and I enjoy their food once in a while. I don’t denigrate people who work there. Maybe you should try and see that workers at all jobs have value and don’t hate their lives despite people poo-pooing their careers.
Walmart is a pretty shitty place to work. I worked for one summer at one right after the took away the ESOP that made many early employees wealthy. The managers are move around and are company lifers, it’s a weird culture.
McDonalds isn’t too bad if your need for shifts lined up with their demand peaks. The managers are the most exploited.
Remote: I've almost exclusively worked remotely, not many tech jobs locally in rural Tennessee.
Willing to relocate: yes
Technologies: primarily python/Linux web development, accurately described by the label 'full stack'. Basically, everything involved involved in making a website/app/whatever available on the internet, I have experience in. I've worked primarily in flask, but recently had to familiarize myself with both Django and fastapi to complete technical-aptitude tests as part of the interview process with different companies.
I feel obligated to once again plug https://ieddit.com/about/ -transparent mod/admin logs, anonymous posting, etcetcetc, but I honestly think it's been demonstrated that it's next to impossible to sustain any amount of serious interest in such alternatives (there is certainly no shortage of reddit-like sites).
The direction reddit has taken is absolutely abhorrent, but at this point it's hard to avoid adopting a fatalistic outlook on things. What else can be done?
Anybody in the upper echelons of reddit who is responsible for the direction the site has taken over the past few years should be absolutely disgusted with themselves. Was the hundreds of millions (billions?) in VC funding not enough? You were given an extremely important position of stewardship over the internet, and have utterly betrayed all of us.
>If you find your resolution in the fact that you spent your time useful by learning, and when you reemerge and reintegrate yourself into society, you will have a chance to be better before, why restricting it?
The restriction of information is an intentional cruelty. Another tool which is utilized to punish the evil criminal (especially the nonviolent drug offenders).
The entire american "justice" system is founded upon the premises of punishment (you deserve to suffer for breaking the law), profit (13th amendment allowing prisoners to be used as literal slaves, the billion $ market created for 'prison service providers'), and political disenfranchisement (cant allow people who have been exposed to this utterly abhorrent system to exercise their right to vote, as that could be dangerous to the system).
Rehabilitation? That's simply not what the system is designed to achieve. The goal is profit, suffering, and political disenfranchisement.
>What's the idea behind convicted felons not being allowed to vote?
Disenfranchisement, and the 13th amendment. The "justice" system in the United States, especially enabled by laws surrounding drug prohibition (created for the purpose of suppressing Nixon's political opposition, hence why cannabis is schedule 1 federally), is the modern embodiment of the Jim Crow system that was supposedly abolished.
Prisoners are specifically exempted from the slavery protections provided by the 13th amendment. Allowing prisoners, who are being housed at the expense of the tax payer, to be forced to work for pennies as literal slaves, often for private corporations.
Despite marijuana use being equally prevalent among white and black populations, blacks are several times as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession. Despite cocaine and crack being literally the same drug, the only difference being if it's in its hcl salt or freebase form, crack is prosecuted by a weight ratio of 18:1 compared to cocaine. Before the "fair sentencing act" was passed in 2010, this ratio was 100:1. Low level crack dealers caught with 10g were prosecuted the same as somebody caught with a kilo of coke, triggering mandatory minimums of decades for drug trafficking.
Can you guess why this prosecutional disparity existed (and still exists) between two different forms of the same drug?
Hint: it's the same reason why felons are politically disenfranchised.
I find it crazy (among the other things mentioned too) that taxpayers are subsidizing cheap prison labor for major corporations. Also crazy to me is the cost to house inmates in many states being more than the national average in terms of income[0] considering the poor conditions of these institutions.
I frequently read the specific sub he censored, and even I could not decipher the name initially.
The sub is chapotraphouse, based upon the podcast of the same name. I've never listened to the podcast, I tried once and within a few minutes found it obnoxious. As somebody interested in political theory/history/whatever label you want to apply to "the study of power structures", I often find the perspective of the sub interesting, and can usually be summed up as "21st century communists in America".
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: Yes (preferred)]
Technologies: Primarily python full-stack focused web/api development (fastapi | flask | django), typescript/react, linux, docker
