Even in IT I find that with each consecutive job that I get, my wage increases while my workload decreases. I’m literally being paid more to do less. I don’t think it’s the same for all these professionals but I feel that once most people reach a certain level, they mentally retire from learning new things.

One of the things I had to learn quick working in IT was when to amiably tell a user to go pound sand. I’m a professional with my own work to do, not your personal assistant.

This was really informative! Thank you for sharing

Might be a solicitation for bribes from Congress. He’s made his message clear that he wants more money and Congress certainly has the power to grant that. I don’t think it would stop him from screwing over minorities tho.

People are getting way too weird about this post. Sure, the decision seems kinda flippant but sometimes that’s how life is. It’s also a short comic. I kinda relate as a gay man because when I got married to the love of my life, I felt like it was a permanent decision and I stressed out about it big time. When I talked to my then boyfriend about it, he seemed so unworried about it and made me realize that if we needed to get divorced, it wasn’t the end of the world. We respect each other enough to be able to communicate our needs and work things out. People in the comments here making out like divorce is inherently tragic and should be avoided at all costs. The connection that you have with and individual that you love transcends that.

I really don’t get some of these comments. I’ve been using popos on and off since it came out. I would check out gnome extensions to see if anything sticks out to you as being useful for your use case. I would also go into your settings and update your recovery partition. This is also the place to refresh your PC if you need in the future which has been a must-have for me.

Considering the general types that actually use lemmy, you’re on the wrong platform for that kind of community. No offense

Google search has enshittified far faster than I ever thought possible. It used to work like magic. Too bad capitalism dictates that usefulness has a ceiling.

“Being gay is a choice” is something I had impressed on me by my mother. In a way she was right. For some of us, it’s a choice between life and death.

I’m that uncle

Edit: I also have that uncle. He’s biracial and I’m queer just to give you an idea.

Super glue in the speaker holes seems like a good solution

Embrace the boredom

It has done wonders for my studying.

Interesting to note that the study has been funded by the Rockefeller foundation. Eating less meat is one piece of the decarbonization puzzle but I feel that the language of this article and the study implies that we need to focus mostly on this and turn a blind eye to the other ways we’re feeding into climate change.

Been listening to Lovecraftian stories on YouTube to fall asleep. They’re always read in a soothing tone that instantly puts me out.

That was a treat for the fingers!

Kushner is one of the reasons I wish hell was real.

Part of the reason I got a brother LaserJet instead of an Epson eco tank was because I don’t need to worry about toner drying out. As much as I try to avoid it, I still need to print once in a blue moon and it’s not really “efficient” to drive to the library.

I’m a Linux Administrator. I maintain machines that think.
