Immediately assume there’s some nearby surveillance and take Akbar’s advice.

Probably not, but I have kids and even though they’re very understanding I’d still like to provide if alternatives allow.

I can’t speak to how they are now now, as this was about ten years ago, and I don’t want to be too specific as they are extremely litigious lol, but…
I applied for a jr position, something I was not overly qualified for but could have easily done at the time with some training. I am now a Sr in that position, so the capacity was there. Anyway, round one interviews are fine, nothing stands out there, but like I said it was ten years ago, at least. Then for the next interview I had a call with the director of the department I was applying for. He was short with me from the start, and I remember being incredibly taken back by his attitude before we’d even gotten into the interview. I have extreme social anxiety and am admittedly terrible in job interviews, so being thrown off right at the beginning of the call didn’t help things. Then there seemed to be a misunderstanding on his part about which level of job I was applying for. He clearly thought I was underqualified either way. He asked me what I now can confirm were insanely technical and architecturally specific questions and then when he’d finally managed to trip me up on an answer he completely unloaded on me. For several minutes he berated me for wasting his and Nintendo’s time and then told me I was being blacklisted and to never apply for a position anywhere at Nintendo ever again. Which, no problem. Even though I understand he was just a jackass, I’m still recovering from it to be honest. But extrapolating how he must run his department and what that must mean for the culture over there, I have not been surprised by the downfall of Nintendo in the least. Shit is as shit does, my friend. - Comment on Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit. 1 week ago:
To be fair I went to a job interview at NoA once, and if that’s anything to go off of then they treat each other like crap, too. It just seems to be the culture over there.

- Comment on The local supermarket takes protein bar protection. Anyway does anyone know how to open these cases ? 1 month ago:
Only the nitrogen is excreted. The body converts the rest into glucose then fat. So the excess protein in everything is literally making us fatter and more unhealthy!

You’re not wrong, but photographs do not convey just how big ass some of this shit is and how awesome (literally) it can be to experience the scale in person. The first time I saw the Golden Gate Bridge I got it. I had never once in my life up until that point given a single solitary shit about it, but afterward… Wow. And what a monument to man’s ability to throw safety to the wind and build something fucking huge!

I don’t see which part of my comment implies that I don’t feel that way about humanity, nor how it’s relevant. Humanity was able to coexist just fine for thousands of years. These issues were caused by capital.

Overbreeding. They’re doing what they do, what they’re supposed to do. It’s not their fault all their predators and 9/10ths of their ecosystem have been removed.
- Comment on I guessed 2 months ago:
Yeah, but… Why do we base a creature’s right to exist on their intelligence as perceived by us? We have no idea what headlights look like to them or how stressful it is being a keystone prey species. I certainly wouldn’t want to walk a mile in their shoes. Personally they’re a massive nuisance and garden pest, but I understand we brought out houses to them and not the other way around so I don’t hold it against them.
They’re not going to be splitting the atom any time soon.
Oh, well actually I do hold that against them. Nevermind.

If Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome is real then it’s extremely rare. Just look at People like Willie Nelson or Snoop. Fact is this syndrome was only first described after Colorado legalized cannabis recreationally. So even though many many people smoked just as much before legalization it somehow only became an issue afterward? Anecdotally I know a lot of people who smoke a lot of weed. Personally neither my wife and I have been sober for more than maybe a month in the last decade and a half, and I still smoke a lot more than just half a j at the end of the day. Sometimes if I don’t smoke and I don’t eat I get kinda nauseous. The same thing will happen if I do smoke and I don’t eat. I have/get every illness, if this was a thing I would have it lol

- Comment on Banning from social media 2 months ago:
It’s not taking away kids access to communicate with friends though. There’s a million and one ways kids can communicate these days. It’s taking away adults’ access to other people’s children.
I agree the pedogarchy is the main issue here, and if you kept up with the 1% of files that were released you would know that having access to children on social media was part of their plan. We can attack that plan from both ends without some slippery slope bullshit about how children need facebook to stay in touch with each other. We all know that’s some grade a bolognium. - Comment on Breaking news: 🚨 3 months ago:
