- Comment on Do 9-5 jobs still exist in the U.S.? 4 weeks ago:
My job is basically 9-5, but no paid lunch. If I want to take lunch, it doesn’t count towards the hours I worked during the day.

A felon also loses their 2nd amendment rights.

Rage comics aren’t cringe. If anything, a lot of modern memes are just reskins of rage comics.

- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 5 months ago:
I do think my manager at the time was a good manager and I’m sure he cared to some degree. He was usually pretty stone cold emotionally but I expected that to be different on that day I guess.
And yeah I understand that the company forced him to do it, I’m not blaming him at all.
- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 5 months ago:
I was laid off almost a year ago. I don’t even know the reason why. Our team was fairly small, and targetted a specific product within our company that was still very profitable and we had a lot of work lined up for it. They let go of me, two other devs, the senior qa person and a few others. Our team did not over hire during COVID, in fact our team shrunk during that time. I had a good rep within the company and with the team and I know for a fact the others did too.
My only guess is that the company was trying to save money by shrinking each team, despite already being small (there were 6 left after the layoffs and about 12 before).
My layoff meeting was with my boss and an HR person that I had already been aquatinted with. They did ensure me that my performance was not the reason I was being let go, but they couldn’t get into specifics either. Strangely my boss seemed emotionally unphased.
That experience taught me the lesson that no matter who you are in a company, you’re disposable.
- Comment on 99% to passing the shopping cart test yet they failed right next to the goal. 5 months ago:
They’re not paid to collect carts like litter in the parking lot, they’re paid to move the carts from the corral to the store.
- Comment on 99% to passing the shopping cart test yet they failed right next to the goal. 5 months ago:
No pass. It technically IS blocking a walkway, the path next to the corral. Though I guess you could push it but the problem is that other lazy bones will pile carts up there until it causes even more blockage.

- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 7 months ago:
Hell no. I’m 29 with my own house, six-figure job, and 3 cars and I don’t feel like an adult lol. But also no kids nor desire to have kids will do that

If a restaurant adds something to the bill I didn’t agree to beforehand, I’m not paying.
- Comment on [What if scenario] What if all commercial institutions suddenly decided they no longer intend to acknowledge religious events such as Christmas? 8 months ago:
Disagree. Christians hate the fact that Christmas is so commercialised. Although they would probably still be mad anyways.
- Comment on [What if scenario] What if all commercial institutions suddenly decided they no longer intend to acknowledge religious events such as Christmas? 8 months ago:
To Christians, it very much is still a religious holiday and should be considered as such. As someone who thinks we should still do away with such holidays.

They are ordered correctly, alphabetically.

Yes but it sounds like their issues were caused by trying to hook up a real synth.

This is why I only use virtual instruments
- Comment on An Introduction To Class Warfare For The Software Engineer 9 months ago:
I was laid off in March of this year. The company didn’t over hire during COVID. We lost a few people right at the start and slowly hired replacements towards the end. It was completely unexpected. The company was doing great and my team was responsible for maintaining and continuing development of a product that was still naking millions. I was laid off with a few other incredibly valuable members of the team, some of which had been with the company long before the team was bought from previous management.
I’ll never understand why it happened, and it was a very stressful time to happen so unexpectedly. Thankfully I recovered and got a pay bump but still, what the fuck.
- Comment on Have you ever felt a imaginary switch click that changed the trajectory of your life? 9 months ago:
Yep. At 18 I was hard set on going to college for game design. About a week into classes, I just up and decided “wait, this isn’t the right thing right now”, dropped out and continued my day job for 3 years before going to another college for software development. It wasn’t really the plan, but thinking about it now, it was a good move to switch from game design to more generally software.
A couple months before graduating, I landed a solid job on the other side of the country (US), finally moved out on my own and grew my career. Now I’m in the same field but making six figures, married, own a house, and fun hobby cars.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
Yeah that’s a bit much lol. I don’t drink at all really but I do try to spend pretty reasonably. Ideally a night out for both of us will cost less than 80-100.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
That’s surprising. But I live in a pretty medium city
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 9 months ago:
I still tip 15% most of the time. Tip flation is a scam when tips are already a percentage of the total. Don’t feel forced to tip more.
