    Seeing that map reminds me of a post I read some time ago about a "libertararian" who moved from California to Texas to scape the "oppressive" state government to a land of free, just to find out there were no public parks where to camp, and that that was his favorite hobbie and now they "understood" why some government is needed and was thinking on going back to California.

    As an actuarie this meme is kinda true but mostly false. I had classes on some advanced maths like ordinary differential equations that have never use on my day to day job. But, the actuarial sciences math in collage was elementary school level of abstraction compared with the real world. There's still a lot of excel tho, but I'm cool and use python (pandas) wherever I can.

  • I used to work as an av technician in a corporation, and had to support a lot of company trainings and there was this one, from a PR consulting firm, to the CEO and the executives about fucking memes. A poor zoomer had to explain to a bunch of boomers how different kinds of memes worked. It was obvious everyone on that room knew how ridiculous everything was, but everyone had to act like it was important job.
