they’ve successfully pandered to you with an advertisement of literal empty words

unfortunately people won’t answer past “what game did you grow up with?”

I think the most recognizable game was the most culturally impactful so my vote is for SMB, even SM64 completely changed gaming

(not a Nintendo or Mario fan btw)

yes but for me every day at work leaves me with no energy on a 9 to 5 so I’d rather have 4 no energy days than 5

Rose tinted glasses

this is something I didn’t expect would bother me until it did

growing up I thought “part time” hours meant you could just pick a set of hours and work but that’s “contract work” instead (don’t get me started on time sheets)

and so for full time in thought you get to pick your days or schedule or any, nope, all HR and company policy.

I’d work 4x10s if I could and have a nicer and longer weekend if I could

“using artificial intelligence”

oh, so it’s completely worthless

Don’t cry, I am just a fish !

oh it is much darker than this at 4pm

they wouldn’t know about grants or how underpaid academics are in general, it’s just a projection

maybe this wording works on a certain kind of voter because of the “fuck you I got mine” attitude, they probably think that if they were the scientist they would reap the benefits for themselves

Suit psychology is so different from tech workers. they don’t understand why tech workers don’t want to live stream their private working area and tech workers don’t understand why suits are obsessed with looking at people in meetings

my phone at 80% vol is fairly quiet with my earbuds.

I’ve also noticed that this warning’s timing is quite random.

I always listen to music on my commutes and they’ve been the same commute for 2 years and Ive only seen this warning like four or five times completely out of the blue.

it’s the age of grifting and unfortunately she’s kind of winning, Dems spend so much time calling Reps idiots but reps are making a killing with their grifts, breaking the law and getting away with it

I don’t think I saw this mentioned but you’re are all aware that you can press “U” and it will select United States, right ?

thriller vibes

you unironically just have to cope with it in whatever way makes sense to you

I personally think of my career as: “some things I do are interesting and keep me from blowing my brains out, the rest I don’t care about”

when it comes to the company I work for: I treat everyone I meet well, no corporate bs, no yes sir yes ma’am. I do whatever I’m assigned and meet deadlines

but I never go above and beyond (because of burnout)

everything you’ve thought about hard work = reward or better pay is a scam

put everything into work-life balance and when you go home focus on things you really want to do, such as hobbies or hang outs

don’t do unpaid overtime, don’t bend over for anyone, don’t offer yourself up when shit goes down

you want to be as invisible as possible while not burning out AND not working your ass off (everyone has different standards for what this means)

tldr: just find some way to cope because there isn’t really anything else you can do

short answer: yes

long answer: opinions are kind of a privilege. if you’re someone working 9 to 5 you probably couldn’t give a shit about anything other than relaxing and winding down from the stress of a work week. if you’re someone who manages to still be involved, congrats. pushing this unto other people imo is not fair. ideally people would work less and have more free time to get situated with how their surroundings are being legislated

I love the way the “we won” is voiced in this episode so much

I don’t think anyone considered cool these days talk about bands

this is just home time + time alone for me

good decompression
