did you know that you can kiss yourself in a mirror ? (x30 times)

or whatever he said

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

C# masterrace and I’m tired of pretending it’s not

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

GitHub CI is great. too great. some devs have taken it upon their hands to attempt and wield an unwieldy power.

and unfortunately at my work it is my job to fix that unwieldy power

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

at this point in genuinely not sure if America is ready to elect a woman or a minority any time soon

obama’s run was fantastic though. mitt romney had the charisma of an urinal cake

don’t think I’ll live long enough to see something like that happen again

pretty much everything except soft serve tastes odd to me nowadays. even higher quality ice creams have this really artificial super sweet flavor that is not for me

I don’t care. do you ?

don’t know what youre playing but in my exp healers are the babysitters to a bunch of monkeys who are looking for fun ways to die

Equilibrium is great but it’s hard to see it as something else than a b-movie even with my rose tinted glasses

I didn’t even bother reading anything about project 2025 because I thought surely it wouldn’t come to this

this is just home time + time alone for me

good decompression

in the age of misinformation and grifting mind you. it’s not just the technology, we’ve had youtube for 20 years

is this the random andy streamer guy ? why should I give a shit about what he thinks

fedora as an os: 10/10 fedora as a name to a distro: 0/10

who are these people and what’s with the 1920s speech bubbles

very hot take:

regular people will never get rid of twitter or meta, Facebook. YouTube. it’s incompatible with their psychology.

they need to use what other people are using, they need to see “content” from their followed users

switching to another platform will kill that for them for weeks and stall their “growth”

to be forward thinking and to give up something you’ve had is too much for the average person

which is why I’m on Lemmy: there’s nothing reddit offers to me that makes me “give” it up, it’s always been there but now that there’s competition it’s worth trying something new out

I honestly think id anything Lemmy will have a slow decrease of users until it comes to a halt
