>>12647557Uncalled apology, I was sniggering in the beginning. Wondering how long until Americans cancel this particular type of laughter because they consider it potentially harmful?
Your bad experiences sound par for the course. It must be why all the American tech companies are kind of imploding while this game of vertical integration is going on. I don't see Google lasting to the end of this decade, to be frank. They have a horrible track record and it's only getting worse. Its three siblings (need I even name them) are no better off and they'll likely also vanish.
>>12647556What you said in 1. is word for word what my grandpa said to me at 6 years old when I answered his "what do you want to do when you want to grow up" question. He was a doctor, so he "subtly" guided me to chase a STEM career. Very pragmatic, but terribly demoralizing for a hopeful child. It's also simply not true, people make a living as a writer. There are dozens of them.
