Time to share this antiquated “news.”

Schopenhauer did say as much I suppose. Except for the Tinder bit. Now to pin him as a millennial or a Gen Z…

I was never a “Mac” person. But I took the leap to escape windows with the Mac studio ultra. I use video and photo edit tools a lot. Used my existing peripheral devices. Expensive but the most silent and powerful machine I’ve ever owned. Software is my only complaint at times but I’ll live with it. I’ll definitely continue down M series for my main device.

In context of the larger thread, I need to figure out how to get graphene on my current phone. I nerfed the AI crap Samsung was forcing on me. But who knows if I got everything. I’ll assume I didn’t. Fdroid or graphene… That’s my summer project.

Honestly thought it was a bullet vibe and then I read the community this was posted in. And then looked again. Marker cap. Ohh. That also makes sense. Hard to put it in context when one doesn’t have children haha.

Having been on some readings I had not picked up in a second recently, two to poison and be each other’s alibi is what went thru my head first lol.

Nothing else to do with the thread. Just the first thought that went thru my head- any rat bastard that lives that shit deserves to be poisoned by both.

Very handy in hotel room mattress as well, for light, not heavy, play. Love that you responded in earnest btw. I hear it’s important to be earnest.

🤣🤣🤣

I’m sure it was very real moment for you. I hope, therefore, that it wasn’t too cruel of me to laugh very loudly at the whole situation. Kids are… Special.

I’m in the US. I’ve stopped getting stuff made in the red states (sadly Evan Williams that I love as well). Cut off Amazon and Target. The list is huge. It’s a process unfortunately. But I’m buying Canadian where I can. Especially that sweet syrup. Love you guys.

Absolutely take paternity. Why wouldn’t you?

Grew up in Asia. Only moved to the US for undergrad… And this applies. So it’s not just the Americans methinks.

I very much love the Bluesky block. Admittedly I am not there much, but still.

Gold made me think of this forgotten greentext.

Grew up in Asia. The less fancy one. Used to go buy my Dad cigarettes from across the street and toss out the filters when I was like 8 lol.

*He’s been smoke free for over 22 years. The amount of disinformation from Big tobacco, at least where I grew up, was insane. He is a very educated man and still… Cigarette was a status symbol, symbol of sophistication, when he was growing up.

I’ll be honest. I’m not sure. I grew up outside the US. Things were far worse but in some ways, less bad division wise. I was mostly a child or a teen but I did live thru two revolutions. Both regime changing.

It all starts rather complacent and lazy. But the bubbles. They are not feeling new to me.

If I’m being honest, it looks like a badly kept hotel room.

Ha. Poo poo point is a good hike. No relevance but given the community, I said it.

Anecdotal share here. I know very few hiring managers that expect candidates to fit 100%, heck 80% even, of a posting. Those that do aren’t ones I would ever want to work for.

I look for 3 things. And that’s not a hard and fast rule or anything. Aptitude, motivation and culture fit. I also look to my peers and larger team for their thoughts along these points.

People (pleasantly) surprise you. My last best hire (I moved to away from direct line management in my new gig) was working at their local Walmart for a year after a tough layoff from a pre sales role. I thought I would get more push back but everyone including my then boss, were like yeah! They just needs another opportunity.

And for what it’s worth, they were a great culture fit and figured the rest out along the way.

Thanks. I heard that in his voice.

Did you put an SR to get thru her (mom’s) firewall first?

I ran into this T-shirt at a con recently.
