I’ve started working in IT over 20 years ago. In my humble opinion, one of the keys is being specialized on something that not everyone else can do. Become proficient in a certain area - devops, quality assurance, security, whatever.
On top of that, try and acquire a niche skill that makes you the type of employee that’s hard to find and replace. For example, banks are really desperate to find Cobol experts because most of them are pensioners now.
I know it’s tough, and I wish you had it as easy as I did back in the days, but it’s all I can tell you, unfortunately.

No because those usually clog my toilet.

I’m doing that, but I need other people to do that as well.

Pretending doesn’t work for me, unfortunately. Gotta be real desire by real people for real me. It’s a curse.
- Comment on want to be a woman 3 weeks ago:
Yes, they’d cybersex me without looking at my face, but that is precisely what would not at all fulfill my desire to be considered attractive.
- Comment on want to be a woman 3 weeks ago:
I commend you for your opinion, but would I believe I got hotter? No. And that’s the point.
- Comment on want to be a woman 3 weeks ago:
Well, for me it really is the overwhelming desire of being found physically attractive by someone. Anyone. So relationships or one night stands, doesn’t really matter.
It’s literally an insane thought to me that even average looking girls don’t have a hard time attracting members of the opposite sex. But for me, any time I approached a girl, I got hit hard by rejection and humiliation. And now that I’m older, most women are married or in long-term relationships anyway, so things have become even more impossible. It’s become so ridiculous that the mere thought of being found desirable is a sexual turn on for me so I find myself imagining to be the woman when watching porn, even though I’m not attracted to men at all.
- Comment on want to be a woman 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely, and I am aware of that - it’s really the case with me. I do not dislike being male. I just dislike being ugly - not many people can claim to have spent 20 years as an involuntary celibate like me. I’m almost 50 and it just feels like so much wasted time. Wasted youth, really.
Going trans wouldn’t solve the problem at all. Nothing will solve the problem, to be honest. I have accepted my fate.

But if a genie were to give me three wishes, becoming a super hot 18 year old girl would be on the list.
- Comment on want to be a woman 3 weeks ago:
Well, an ugly dude like me going trans would result in an ugly trans person, not an attractive woman, so there’s that.
- Comment on want to be a woman 3 weeks ago:
I would love to be an attractive woman. It would be like an all you can f*** buffet. I’m an ugly dude who has to work extremely hard to get laid. I dream of being sexually attractive. However, I really really would not wish to be trans. I simply don’t have the courage to face the backlash of all the bigoted backwards losers who hate on them. That’s why I absolutely admire and support trans people because unfortunately (and also somewhat ironically), in our day and age, it still takes a lot of balls to be trans.

You’re welcome! You’ll love it. There are tons of Youtube videos about this, btw.
And there are tons of great things you can do with it - for example:
Blend the soft garlic with parmeggiano, spread on slice of ciabatta, sprinkle with cheese, bake until golden brown, sprinkle some garlic oil and parsley. That’s fantastic garlic bread.

120°C is good. Cook for at least one hour. Add aromatics like thyme or rosemary if you feel like it.
- Comment on Moar garlic 1 month ago:
I just prefer a good olive oil. The confit is way better used on pasta that way. But you’re right, rapeseed oil might be a better choice if you don’t want it to solidify.
- Comment on Moar garlic 1 month ago:
I always have some emergency garlic confit in the fridge.
Take an ovenproof baking dish, fill with peeled garlic cloves, cover cloves with high quality olive oil. Cover with tin foil. Cook for one hour in oven, low temperature.
Store in glasses. Will keep for weeks. Or months in fridge, although the oil will become solid.
Use it for whatever needs a garlic boost.

As an IT guy, there will always be a special place in my heart for the awesome person who wrote a protocol suite for this use case (it is a lot of fun to read):

Well in that case, if a religious person accuses you that you hate their god, it’s still not true. Because that religious person thinks of their god as a real entity, while you hate their concept of god. The target of that hate is not the same.

That’s as may be, but that’s not the word that was used in the meme.

No atheist hates god. How can you hate something you don’t think exists?

I still use the song “Operator Plays a Little Ping Pong” from the Neverhood OST as my ringtone. Never fails to amuse.
