  It’s so hard to figure out this stuff … but as a guy into computers who was debating going into academia instead of the field, this is what I did …

  I took the money, but lived like I had only the academic salary and invested the rest. 15 years in, life is pretty cushy, I’ve found a relaxing niche in my field that I like my job, but it’s basically optional as long as I stay willing to live like an academic. But there were definitely some pains to get here. I might quit and go back, I might quit and travel, or quit and do a start up, but I like my job a lot now so I’m keeping at it.

  I have a slightly different version of this. I get sneezing fits when too full. It’s genetic and happens to most people on one side of my family. Thanksgiving is always fun.

  I’m going to use this as an excuse to go back and play Hades 1. I bought and binged it when it first released EA, and never went back to play the released version.

  As much as I get this sentiment, I chose my profession in part because I like learning and my area requires learning new stuff all the time to stay relevant. The learning part of work is the part I enjoy and look forward to.

  I have a PSN account. I can ethically support this move that locked so many players out 4 months after buying a game. So I won’t be buying until at minimum a solution is in place for all those users, but probably not even then.

  You’re basically describing an allergic reaction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When someone says landlords are asking for tips⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Many jurisdictions will laws the require a form of payment that doesn’t come with fees. I think mine requires the landlord to be able to accept cash or check without fees. If the lease says you can only pay online, and the only way to pay online requires those fees, that would be illegal in my area.
