It’s possible but imo unlikely. I know its very different in a lot of ways but Starbucks at least will close a location to “save money” practically day of a successful unionizing vote. A union gets harder to squash the longer they’re around, and more likely to spread to other locations, so companies get pretty trigger happy about shuttering places.

I’m moving from a “not bottom of the ladder but pretty damn low” test automation position to the game industry and I’m expecting to make half as much

Have you never gotten mail you don’t need to save but it has sensitive info on it?

Ynthrepic, what the fuck are you talking about?

I got GalliumOS onto an old chromebook last year. It was a bit of a fight and there are a couple parts if you mess up it’s possible to brick it entirely. Gallium was specifically for chromebooks, it’s been discontinued last I knew, and getting a different os in there sounds even more painful to me… But yeah you can cram Linux into one!

The real daddies are the masters you find along the way

The first computer I fully built myself was in the early 2010s. I plugged something into the wrong jumper and part of my motherboard blew up. Like a mini flashbang smoke and everything. Amusingly it was an optional slot and the mobo actually still worked and as far as I know it is still in use in my ex spouse’s media center lol

Welcome, we’ve got a wide variety of fun things here!

I feel deeply embarrassed about being from the US. It’s like hanging out with a group of friends out of necessity, later realizing they were all assholes, and trying to come to terms with the fact you spent so many years with them. I live outside the US now and I’m even more embarrassed to be from there. Every time there’s some culture shock my takeaway is either “wow how did I normalize this broken aspect of the US” or “I wish I was from somewhere that didn’t do those things to that person’s country”.

I also feel embarrassed and guilty over getting out of the US. I worked in tech and now I’m living off tech savings to start a life outside the US. I left my friends behind many of them are struggling financially, I left my community behind many of which are actively homeless, I chose to leave. Sure I’m leaving in part because my trans ass is on the chopping block but I see a lot of trans people fight harder instead of flee. I fought for so many years though and I couldn’t keep doing it so I left. The US did this to my community, made me confront choices I never wanted to make, I’m disgusted by having paid taxes to the war machine, and I justify working in tech as a way out of there but really I feel guilty over choosing to buy into that side of the US too so I could secure personal safety.

Ah, this is my trans self too, but the functions are protests and I don’t stop at just half naked

Subtracting it’s normalized negentropy from 1

Hell yeah! My first game was a text only java program where you killed skeletons and dragons, gained levels, and movement was done by typing a wasd key then hitting enter lol. You still making games at all?

It’s been hitting -20c where I’m at currently. I love it, I’m so happy I moved here, idk what it is about the cold but it makes me happy and bundling up to go outside is fun

Ffs I get back from school to find this out. I’ll live up to it: dentist farting in my mouth is such a power move I’d be scared not to go back

I would go back to the dentist either if they were farting in my mouth

My first phone was like 18 but also I didn’t get a cellphone until I was nearly 30

Well ridged is a word that can mean that and sounds nearly identical, probably does sound identical in some dialects. Could be you heard someone use ridged and mixed the two

Someone please help me what’s that comic where one person is asked what they’re going to do with their newly found wealth and the guy is like “I’m going to have sex with children”? I don’t want to type these words into a search engine

I had a pack like that, tried to use them last year and every one of them failed to burn. Must have hit their shelf life somewhere along the way
