overview for muddybulldog

It was a lot harder to get loans thirty years ago. Almost on par with the criteria for any other personal loan. A four year CompSci degree that could be had for under $25K, in total, opened the door to a $45K to $60K entry level position for a typical graduate.

Availability of loans broke wide open, under the guise of providing opportunity, and now the same degree costs 5-10x with yet the typical entry level salary remains more or less the same, give or take a few inflation points.

Because the alternative makes a lot more money.

Not to discount or diminish your experience but I’ve had the polar opposite with Aetna/CVS.

Due to unfortunate circumstances my family has had nearly 300 claims via Aetna over the past 24 months with only one hitch that required any legwork on my side. We pick up all our ad hoc prescriptions at the local Walgreens and all of our maintenance meds shipped via an independent provider. Only one script has ever been mandated to go through Caremark and it’s was a specialty drug that ran about $1000 US per daily dose.

Agreed. I’ve probably got 100 keys registered with GitHub and 98 of them the private key is long destroyed due to OS reinstalls or whatnot. Format machine, new key. New machine, new key.

Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)...

What you see via the UI isn't "all that exists". Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see "under the hood". Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won't normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.

Edit: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.
