I would tell you, but I’d have to look it up…

Imagine if the CEO who laid you off was also your psychologist/therapist who you have to turn to. What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people.

Looking in the right places. I’ve had cats all my life and there’s no way they go to heaven.

Not gamedev but other software, going through the exact same thing (new, external CEO). Guess the axeman cometh for us all eventually.

I got a samsung phone last year with a 200 bucks rebate. You better believe I cashed that in right quick (“while supplies last”).

Welp. Learning from history is simply no longer a thing I guess.

You know they’re just going to drown you in “civil matter” shit as soon as you try.

For every person like you that won’t take the shit, there are many more that will just give up. Just like unemployment and insurance claims - denial is the first step in protecting the bottom line.
This is the crucial part. Same reason many brands have shifted from giving discounts to “rebates”. You have to jump through a few hoops yourself to get it, it’s not automatic. And that immediately results in a decent % of customers simply not even bothering, which is exactly what manufacturers are banking on.
- Comment on Might be time to find another job 1 week ago:
I work at a place that went from having bbq’s and get togethers to… well, nothing in about five years. Yesterday we got a company wide e-mail to tell us the CEO is GTFO’ing and being replaced by an external hire. I’m not worried at all though. In fact, I’m kinda hoping to be fired for the severance. Fuck this job :D

Real shit.

I, for one, welcome our new cephalopod overlords.
Seriously, they can’t possibly do worse than our current leadership.
- Comment on Great plan 1 week ago:
If I were to put in two weeks back to back, there’s nothing they could legally do to stop me, true. But since we don’t even have a union at my job, retaliation is guaranteed. Considering it took me the better part of five years to get the job in the first place, the result is that you unfortunately don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
- Comment on Great plan 1 week ago:
Eh. In practice, we’re fairly abused as well. I may have more holidays than my US counterparts, but in reality I can only take vacation when the schedule of the company allows it, which is never more than a week at a time at best and like three days in a row realistically.
- Comment on The Elder God 1 week ago:
Coincidence. They just wait long enough until the previous war is out of the people’s minds, or enough young people weren’t even alive when it happened to do it again. And again. And again.

Poisonous skittle. Bam, everyone happy.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Even just H and O on their own can be quite scary. Throw them together and BAM, ubiquitous lifegiving liquid.

An disney is a pretty cool guy. He princesses and doesn’t afraid of anything.
- Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over? 4 weeks ago:
Pretty much everything we’ve expected has come to pass so far, only much faster than any of us could’ve foreseen. I would’ve expected them to “get along” for a year or so before calling it quits, but evidently they didn’t even last that long.
Still hella amusing though.

If she knows the backlash will be insane and she still has to live there, totally understandable. Make sure you’re aligned on where to go with this in the future. If she truly wants to choose a life with you she may have to break with her family at some point. You can’t expect her to be ready for that at this time, but you also shouldn’t be strung along if she never sees an actual future with you. Good relationships require honesty on both sides and great communication.

A Brita filter =/= a survival straw. There ARE filters you can use to drink directly from water sources in nature that will filter out all contaminants but a Brita ain’t one.

Ah fuck. Lymphoma is such a bitch. I’ll always remember her as THE female argonian voice though.

I still have a BD-RE drive in my current setup. It almost never sees any use, but it’s definitely nice to have the option should I ever require it.

Sure, but this is the only one future historians will be holding entire seminars on.

Reddit until two years ago, and now Lemmy. That’s honestly it.
- Comment on To join Facebook these days, one must record a video selfie 5 weeks ago:
Nope. Managed to stay off of it for my entire life so far. Reason for it was that back in '05 or a bit later one of the very first things I learned about the nascent Facebook, was Zuck’s famous “Dumb fucks” remark about his early users. I rightfully concluded that someone with such a mindset would be an absolutely plague on mankind and I would never willingly help them in any way, no matter how insignificant.

I would sooner put my nuts in an iron vice while running 10.000 volts through it and lighting it on fire than provide Facebook with anything at all.

Oh boy, one of my favorite hyperfixations, Roman coin debasement & inflation! TLDR: the parallels of today and back then are much more than just similar. We’re essentially repeating what happened in the fourth century but on a global scale.
