I’m happy when I can get even one.

Mostly, my experience agrees with this, but I did quit one of my longest jobs because I had a jealous coworker who kept talking about bringing a gun to work and shooting me.

I’ve gone to local meetups that were cool, but it seems like most of the events on there now cost money, and are hosted by some life coach or guru.

Animal rescue is a great way to meet awesome people. Animal lovers tend to be laid back and compassionate, and if you love animals, you always have something interesting to talk about.

And fast paced environments tend to have a focus on “time-management skills.” I once interviewed at a place that was looking for someone with “excellent time management skills” because people kept going on vacation, getting back, and never being able to get caught back up with their workload because things kept being assigned to them while they were out and no one was assigned to cover for them. I felt like the manager who was interviewing me knew exactly what the real problem was.

I always used “gotta go drain the lizard.”

IME, when they talk about sense of urgency, they want you to cut corners and rush through everything, but somehow make no mistakes. Usually said when you’ve been assigned double the normal workload for your position.

I fell for this once. Thought it sounded great. Everyone at that place hated each other, constantly spread rumors and sabotaged each other’s work.

My Google and Microsoft accounts are the only ones I ever get random spam on, tbh. I’ve never had any amount of unasked for mail with a paid provider or ISP’s email.

It used to be common.

I always use randomly-generated user names. I try to avoid strings of random numbers and letters, but coming up with reasonably nice-looking random names is time-consuming, and some people might not care that much.

Boxes is very well-organized and easy to use.

Same. There are some views that should disqualify one from holding public office, and supporting genocide is one of them.

Maybe they could tweak the design a little. Make it like a Chevy Spark with a rear bed.

Book prices have gotten ridiculous. Independently published ebooks aren’t bad, but that fact that the cheapest physical books you can find new are around $10, and $20-40 is common, puts them way out of reach of what I would buy regularly.

I could probably find the rest of the series on Z-lib, if I wanted to, but reading them would feel like engaging with the author as a person more than I now want. There’s plenty of authors who don’t speak negatively of readers who get their books used. I’d rather give them my time and attention.

Retroshare might be a good way to share it with specific family and friends.

Interesting. You did almost all the good ones. Would’ve liked to see Enlightenment too.

Wow.
