Yes! Ew! My best friend has a velour couch and she lays a blanket down for me when I come to hang out because I hate touching it. Also, carpet. I dry heave when I have to vacuum carpet, something to do with going against the grain. Ugh.

He’s become the worst of humanity.

Nah this is fucked, stop trying to be whatever this is.

I’ve been using chatgpt to help me build a Bubble website. That is, I am doing all the work, I just bounce questions of how to achieve things and structure conditional statements correctly.

Because I’m basically sanity checking everything it says vs copying blindly, it’s interesting to see just how much it gets caught in a loop of misinformation. I’m lucky to be one of those learners who just needs an example, even if it’s a shitty one, to figure it out myself, so I often find myself using it simply to see how it’s NOT done.

But yeah, I know jack shit about coding but I’m sure AI code sucks ass.

Fuck. I just had a really promising interview, but it was three days in office, three days remote (5 days a week, so the days gradually rotate). I’ve worked remote for 15 years, not including three months in a terrible office job that I promptly quit.

I’m making a mistake considering this, aren’t I?

Highly recommend hiking, or at least going for a scenic drive. I have been heading over to local trails a few times a week and it’s amazing how much my brain has rewired from it. Like, I know the shit is bad, that hasn’t changed, but seeing nature in force reinstalls this feeling of control. Nature always wins, these people will all be worm food one day.

In addition, don’t say anything that suggests you will work, even if unpaid. Don’t mention volunteering, helping a friend, doing remote work, etc. The rules are quite specific about what visas allow and do not allow, and many border people are just there to catch a paycheck - they will absolutely err on the side of denial. It is not a fair game, and you will not be given a fair chance to explain yourself.

Whether he stays or goes, he’ll still be a cunt.

I lived in a travelers hostel with a lot of international people moving about on various visas. I think white people and majorities are more smug and comfortable than they should be right now. There was plenty of fuckery then, and we didn’t even have the Jaffa cake monster in charge.

Don’t assume they ain’t coming for you. If you’re not on their side, you’re somewhere on the list.

Politicians: Take the job and the paycheck to represent the people, bow out when it’s time to do that.

I might get called extremist for this, but senators and representatives should be willing to kill their career and reputation in politics to fight for their constituents. Otherwise, are we just paying them to have a good time??!

I, an unemployed, heavily drinking non-morning person, wakes up quicker than the Jewish community, apparently.

I would have to work for 514 million years to earn what one of the silicone six avoided paying in taxes.

Eat them.

Picking. I’m pretty compulsive about it. Can really fuck things up if I’m nervous about an upcoming social event, as I end up with a puckered face, making it worse. Idk why I do this, a lot of times I’m not really even conscious I’m doing it until after the fact.

Lemmy users project their toxicity towards Reddit. This place can be quite hostile if you don’t echo the ‘correct’ ideals.

Omg thank you!

He has like 30 something felonies and openly admitted to rigging the voting computers. The man could commit murder on stage and still somehow continue being president.

I need to learn this superpower. I have tried alternates but I can’t really afford the slow down that comes with the learning curve, but I’m also unemployed and broke now…

That’s great. Harder to be the first 8 than the last 1000. Kudos to them

Still on rotation over here

Barbeque, one summer day when it seemed perfect to have a barbeque. We were both like “this will be a fad” but it’s been used SO much over the years.
