she later told me that I was anti-authoritarian and more likely to do what I thought was right rather than what I had been instructed to do. I am still baffled to this day about how that is an undesirable attribute

It isn’t unless you’re a corporation trying to keep employees down.

What the fuck. I used to go there for tabs all the time when I picked up guitar. Sadly I stopped playing but to hear that that website is all pay walled now is disgusting.

Nah. Report it as spam. Still gets moved to your spam folder and if enough people do it, they’ll be flagged by default.

Same. I had to stop because of them.

I won’t be forced to work 6 days again and actually a good 3 days off so I can recharge for once.

I think the point flew over your head.

At the end of the day, as long as there’s two people left on the planet, someones gonna want someone dead.

One of my previous jobs had an employee exercise room. Some people used it and management didn’t like that so they said we’re not allowed to use it during our shift and only after hours. It was a government position so we weren’t allowed to be in the building before or after our shift.

These places only use them to advertise to new employees how “friendly” they are.

That wasn’t the original argument now was it? If you’re going to move goalposts then at least be halfway correct the first time.

Yes. Not sure what the other person is on about. Hot water can have more sugar dissolved in it. When it cools it crystalizes but only if the saturation level is higher than what the water can hold. It’s how rock candy is made. This is like basic chemistry.

Why are you here preaching to us about carbon footprints when you yourself are wasting electricity doing so?

Came here to say something similar. Currently hating life and fantasizing how I’d quit my job and burn this bridge

Yup. I’m using the chargers from my old phone

Next they’ll removing the charging cable and send us just a fucking phone.

Oh you mean like google did? I was pretty surprised and disgusted they didn’t include a charging cable with my pixel 7. All I got was a 6 inch data transfer cable.

Advertisers have been doing stuff like this since forever to get you to look. Some ads will subtly add extra limbs that you won’t notice by glancing at it but your brain notices something is off and will make you want to look closer

Too real

There’s a roadside attraction I drove past recently in the northern part of Michigan called trump land. Had signs and shrines on both sides of the road. I truly do not understand how people can be that batshit insane and still be allowed in civilized society.

I used to browse it about 15-20 years ago.It used to be a good place to learn tricks about all sorts of electronics. I’m not sure exactly what happened but it was like a switch flipped and they got awful almost overnight. Probably bought out.

What is a new person supposed to do to learn then? I’ve been stuck trying to figure out what the 5-8 different services, frameworks, libraries, and IDEs all do and I feel very overwhelmed.

Yes I feel that some context with a linked post is mandatory. Besides risking malware or scams, a bare minimum should be required when posting. Just a link isn’t enough.
