It’s possible but imo unlikely. I know its very different in a lot of ways but Starbucks at least will close a location to “save money” practically day of a successful unionizing vote. A union gets harder to squash the longer they’re around, and more likely to spread to other locations, so companies get pretty trigger happy about shuttering places.

I’m moving from a “not bottom of the ladder but pretty damn low” test automation position to the game industry and I’m expecting to make half as much

- Comment on Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault? 5 weeks ago:
I feel deeply embarrassed about being from the US. It’s like hanging out with a group of friends out of necessity, later realizing they were all assholes, and trying to come to terms with the fact you spent so many years with them. I love outside the US now and I’m even more embarrassed to be from the US. Every time there’s some culture shock my takeaway is either “wow how did I normalize this broken aspect of the US” or “I wish I was from somewhere that didn’t do those things to that person’s country”.
I also feel embarrassed and guilty over getting out of the US. I worked in tech and now I’m living off tech savings to start a life outside the US. I left my friends behind many of them are struggling financially, I left my community behind many of which are actively homeless, I chose to leave. Sure I’m leaving in part because my trans ass is on the chopping block but I see a lot of trans people fight harder instead of flee. I fought for so many years though and I couldn’t keep doing it so I left. The US did this to my community, made me confront choices I never wanted to make, I’m disgusted by having paid taxes to the war machine, and I justify working in tech as a way out of there but really I feel guilty over choosing to buy into that side of the US too so I could secure personal safety.

Hell yeah! My first game was a text only java program where you killed skeletons and dragons, gained levels, and movement was done by typing a wasd key then hitting enter lol. You still making games at all?

Well ridged is a word that can mean that and sounds nearly identical, probably does sound identical in some dialects. Could be you heard someone use ridged and mixed the two

Someone please help me what’s that comic where one person is asked what they’re going to do with their newly found wealth and the guy is like “I’m going to have sex with children”? I don’t want to type these words into a search engine

Amusingly I decided to see what my local grocery store has and found this:
TIL Sweden calls it hamburger cheese (I just moved here from the US). I’m pretty sure in the US someone would get shot for trying to take America out of the name though
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I’m going to continue to die on this hill: American cheese slices typically have cheddar cheese as the very first ingredient. They are made of real cheese, dairy, and an emulsifier. Basically think of a cheese sauce with a higher melt temp but nobody seems to claim fondue is fake cheese.
Are they good though? That’s subjective, I think they go great on burgers and ramen. Are they plastic or use fake cheese? No. If you want to be accurate while high horsing about it you could call them watered down congealed cheese though

I had a pack like that, tried to use them last year and every one of them failed to burn. Must have hit their shelf life somewhere along the way

What’s your problem? Let people enjoy stuff that has no effect on your life. You sound miserable internally and to be around, maybe go reflect on yourself a bit

If I knew then everything I know now, the pain, the emotional turmoil, having to discover my body on my own, how incredibly frustrating it is to feel useless during recovery, I’d still have done it. Even if I didn’t know I’d have as positive an outcome as I have had I’d still have taken that chance. My body was so wrong to me I was going to end up dead if it wasn’t changed. Everything is better now I’m so happy to have the body I do
- Comment on I'd also add that 4 months ago:
My favorite part about Chicago being elitist over ketchup is that they add vinegar, sweetness, and tomato to their dogs. If only there was a way to get all that in a single condiment lol
Seattle makes the best dog I’ll die on that hill. Cream cheese, onion, sauerkraut (all optional), an enormous array of do it yourself condiments, and some stoned dude who won’t judge you for having preferences

I was able to discuss desired outcomes but there’s no guarantee on these things. Plus the first surgery is more about getting everything in place and functional then people can go in later to pretty it up if that’s wanted. From what I experienced each surgeon has really specific skills and you shop based on that then let the chosen one go to town on the bits. The things I was most invested in had more to do with certain functionality than looks so that’s where my discussions were focused. Now that I’m here though I wouldn’t change a thing I think having a camel toe from hell is hilarious so it gets to stay
