Probably by design, to be honest. Jobs tend to be very anti-parent, especially in US states where FMLA is legally protected.

I’m fortunate to work for a company that has a culture of prioritizing real life so you can do your best work. Sadly, that’s antithetical to next quarter thinking, so it’s not the norm.

The dumb thing is (in my experience) parents seem to work harder and stay at companies for longer than childless folks. They’re just shorter on free time and need some basic flexibility to address emergent issues. Not to mention being better at teaching and managing in general.

Don’t get sequenced and encourage your relatives to avoid as well. It’s not worth risking your genome getting leaked.

You can set a prompt on Poe with GPT-4 that allows for lewd RP. Will still occasionally throw “I’m sorry, I can’t”s but you just gotta remind it to follow the prompt and stay in character after deleting the message.

I’m not posting the copy pasta for it. Easy enough to find.

Worth $20 dollars on a Privacy card to try out, IMHO.

Not sure things would look much different if Twitter was intentionally destroyed.

Windows 11 is adware and spyware wrapped in a thin OS veneer. I will never upgrade, end of support or no.

He’s also a class traitor. Should know better than fucking over workers from actual life experience in the working class. Still doesn’t give a shit.

This thread really showcases white fragility.

Three times a month for a long term relationship seems really low to me. Over a decade married and ~3-5x a week.

It’s been worth it for my spouse and me. Happy to pay for a product rather than being the product.

That’s a good question ;)

Doubt you’d be saying this if you had ever personally been subjected to workplace harassment of the same endurance and severity.

You’re mixing up chicken and egg here. Victim blaming is a core component of the fucking nightmare of workplace harassment.

• A good GitHub/GitLab code project portfolio will get you a job in software without paying for a degree. My degrees are in biological sciences and I’ve worked with people who haven’t gone to university or have liberal arts degrees (esp English and philosophy)
• The first gig is the hardest step. Companies hate hiring folks without professional software experience. Sometimes you gotta take that shitty, short, and low-paying contract
• IMHO the best advice from boot camps is to attend local tech meetups, ask for informational interviews, and assemble a portfolio of personal projects
• A good recruiter is gold; unfortunately, most are a combination of confabulation, idiocy, and chicanery
• if you’re driven and sharp, QA/support can be good entry points to engineering

I hate that the QC/longevity of Logitech’s mx ergo trackballs are so horseshit. Very comfortable and nice when it works, but I’ve had four die (each in a different way) in under 6 months of use.
