“I still have a cold and it’s tiring to read for a while,”

It’s almost like someone is trying to tell you to STFU.

Agreed

That is a chicken.
That is my brain on drugs.

Q.E.D.

These folks seem to have a different understanding than you.

Specifically:

Since as many as 10 percent of the lowest-wage workers leave or start jobs every month, any decrease in the number of full-time equivalent jobs will mean that some workers will take more time finding a new job, or will work fewer hours. But many of these workers may still see their annual earnings rise because of their wage increase.

Summer Glau: Am I a joke to you?

Ah, the majestic gas giant…

(It’s not, it’s an ice giant, but juvenile humor ftw)

After she went bird hunting.

You are 100% correct, I could not have used a more incorrect turn of phrase if I tried, hahaha. I fully admit not thinking that through at all.

Take my shamefilled upvote.

Upvoted, because this is an incredibly unpopular opinion.

I’m not into sports and I have no plans to watch the Superb Owl today, but I do have a big appreciation for humans being awesome, and for that I can usually appreciate watching even if I don’t care who wins.

Watching a 300lb man accelerate like a freight train or someone jump several feet into the air, twist over backwards, catch a ball and land where they meant to is definitely something I enjoy, because they do work their asses off to get that good and I can appreciate anybody’s passion at that level.

That said, totally agree on the money side, it taints so many things (looking at you IOC).

I’m approaching 40 this year. Around 20, I missed an important uni deadline, and meant the degree I had planned would cost me an extra year I couldn’t afford (like literally couldn’t afford the tuition). Managed to finish, but with a degree no one would recommend. Was absolutely panicked.

Ultimately, ended up very successful in a job in a country on the other side of the world. Met the woman who is now my wife of 13 years, had some amazing adventures, moved to a few more different countries, changed industries again about 10 years ago, and worked my way up to upper management again before leaving that field too.

TL;DR No, stress has brought me nothing but misery, I have no regrets except that I didn’t enjoy the ride as much as I could have.

Learn new stuff as you work, or as hobbies (my entire second career started as a hobby). Don’t be afraid to “fake it till you make it” and keep an eye out for jobs you didn’t even consider as a possibility. I personally avoid corporate gigs, smaller independent companies are more likely to notice you and use you for the skills you bring. Life can fly by, enjoy the ride.

Everything’s all right then?

Ok, I tilted my phone and shoved it up my butt… now what? I never get these memes, I must be getting old.

Edit: hold on someone’s calling me…

I’d argue running a laptop from the 00s is the least boomer thing to do. Buying a new Macbook every two years while complaining that you don’t have enough money and joking about how you’re spending your kid’s inheritance is the boomer thing to do.

Agree so much on HBO. We just moved to the US and got the “Max” subscription and we’re finding gem after gem, some of it a decade old. Like TV that rivals any great movie, amazing storytelling/directing/music/concepts. Still plenty of filler to sort through, but some genuine art in there.

I pictured your entire rant read aloud by Sam Eagle. It’s much funnier that way.

Your mileage may vary, but have you tried over the phone instead of video chat (if it’s an option where you live)? I felt exactly the same about video, but something about over the phone felt chill, I could just “chat with a friend” in my pajamas. Helped me a lot and neither my therapist or I ever actually saw each other.

So calling it your ABCs when you’re younger isn’t that far off. Interesting.

Ok, I had to know, so:

1. It’s real
2. Sold only in Czech Republic around Christmas time, though currently unavailable
3. Apparently fried Carp is a traditional Christmas eve dish in CR
4. Because of the Christ feeding 5000 with fish and bread bible story.

I still have questions, but at least I’ll be able to sleep tonight.

The blue leds make the whole setup run cooler. And if you want a really fast build, get an aerodynamic case with a racing stripe.

But seriously, hard agree. I want a big, easy to open easy to access, metal box. With handles if it’s possible I’ll be using it for gigs etc.
