Sure, li’l buddy! He’s coming quick, so I’m just going to run over there to take a picture.

At no point was this ever funny. Also spitting is not sexy. Being spit on is not sexy. The satisfying snap of the astroglide lid is the only lubrication sound I want to hear besides a moan.

What?

I hate you. Upvoted.

I think job postings are better in indeed, but tbh >75% I’ve gotten in pretty much my whole 25+ year career has been through a recruiter. Dice.com used to be big for tech jobs back in the day but I’m not sure any more.

As a SSE, mostly I have recruiters hitting me up through linked in. This is also a really bad time. I’ve been back to work for about a month after 5 months of not finding anything. That’s the worst drought I’ve had in almost 15 years. Usually it’s < 1 month.

Be seriously prepared about cloud. It’s so anyone fucking wants right now. I’m a damn good Java/js developer, but I’m still learning the tech stack and I haven’t touched a line of code yet in this job. Everything has been configuration and pipelines. I feel more like devops than developer.

Me and some old guildies have kept in touch off and on over the years. Every once in a while I’d buy a wow expansion and do a couple of dungeons. We were really looking forward to making Diablo 4 our new hang out.

We played like hell all through the beta. Then like twice in live. Then we all kinda decided it sucked. I think my good friend’s daughter is graduating soon. Or possibly already did. I can’t remember how much older than my own kids she was. I can remember when she was born.

He’s still like a brother to me, but we’ve got fuck all in common any more and we can’t keep talking about glory days that were damn near 20 years ago.

Go for it. React wasn’t anything anyone gave a shit about until it was. It’ll eventually die, too, like every other front end framework. Maybe this’ll be the concept that replaces it. Who knows?

… and stay out.

I see. So the one she was definitely going to lose this time around is still definitely going to be lost, just not by her. That’s sad. I was looking forward to missing her.

Wasn’t that the “much safer” district she switched to after damn near losing her own district in '22?

We are days away from hearing about the onion on his belt.

Stretching a lead is a sports term. Most commonly in racing. Sports metaphors are common in politics.

One of the differences between the right and the left, you just made me realize, is how we treat heroes.

Kyle murders two protestors and he’s a hero. He can fuck it up, but that’s all it takes to get there.

If a left leaning person became a hero for rescuing cats out of a house fire, you’d have a hundred reporters digging up dirt about how he cuts in line at Starbucks, or an ex coworker thought his obsession with cute animal butts was a little creepy.

I’m minimizing. People who do good things sometimes have done real shit but I don’t want to sidetrack. Point is, the right elevates their heroes while the left humanizes them. It’s not just a different playing field, it’s a whole other sport.

Completely agree.

I never buy gas at BP or Exxon. Ever. Smart phone though? That’s required for my job.

It’s great when his arguments only strengthen my resolve to stand with Democrats in supporting Ukraine.

How is life so cheap. Killed himself over $63k. If I was ever going to do something that catching consequences was going to make me kill myself, it would have to be a hell of a lot more money than that. Maybe at 100x I’d take my chances. Maybe. I just don’t understand.

People are so much stupider than I ever thought. And I thought I was a cynic.

Who would do such a thing??

That’s a good boy!

You think he could finish a couch? I think it would eventually fake it, tell him what a good boy he was, and then roll over and let him sleep in the wet spot.
