You are hard to underestimate.

I use to have that as teen after a “firework accident”. It fade year after year, now it don’t bother me anymore.

Yep, most of tracks were already available on “various” sources, but this time they directly scraped the whole Spotify database.

It’s really nice from them to backup Spotify database on a distributed system, and for free ! This ensure Spotify business won’t be endanger in case of critical hardware failure.

Yes, OP, your are rich. Not super rich, but clearly in upper class.

“Say you own 2 houses”. I’m in top 10% revenue in my country and I don’t even finished to pay for my 1st one. And I’m now regularly doing thing that I watched on TV as a kid thinking “Whoa, I wish I could do this ! but only rich people can :(…”

“Napoléon Mange Allègrement Six Poulet Sans Claquer d’Argent” and “Lise Beche Bien Chez Notre Oncle Firmain Nector” I let you translate it. Lines 2 and 3 of periodic table.

• order food
• Hear a number
• take my food
• back to car, it’s not mine
• fuck off, I’m too lazy to go change my order
• some dude is still waiting for It’s order while you write this post

I watch it yesterday with my daughter. I actually loved it.

Now it’s stuck on my playlist betweew “best of 2000s nightcore”, “Vivaldi the 4 seasons” and “DragonForce”.

Spotify bots struggle a bit to profile me.

School is the only place where we don’t expect you to be productive. It’s the only place where people spend time and money only for you, without expecting something in return. It’s the only place where we want you to think by yourself and not just be a workforce on a product line.

Think about this next time you’ll learn that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Hi,

I think you may have a look to @[email protected] comment in this thread as he depict very well the choice you currently face.

You may also ask yourself how much important is your job for you. Some people don’t really care about their job. They see it just as a way to have money and enjoy their life through leisure activities, friends, family. They can do anything as long as it pay. Some people (like me) really need to enjoy their job. I need technical challenge and I couldn’t work in finance, politic, management, administrative, etc… even with better pay. So, do you think you can handle working on a field that’s just “meh…” and enjoy you life outside your job. Or do you think job is really an important part of your life.

Regarding your parents, they will be proud of you whatever you do as long as you are happy. So, don’t try to make THEM happy. Try to make YOU happy. And, you are not stuck in a field for you whole life. You can do a job that pay well at the beginning, and then reorient to a lower paid, but more interesting job. Reorientation is not easy, but it’s doable. Lot of people work 10 year in a stressed well paid field, to switch to raising goats in the wild when they turn 35/40yo.

Life is not a sprint. It’s a marathon. Hope this help.

Too bad. Do you think taking another degree would have been more usefull ?

What are the things you wished someone would have told you 20 years ago?

That diploma doesn’t decide for the rest of your life. They (teachers, familly, etc…) put so much pressure on me to choose the “right” path that I was afraid of screwing my entire life if I didn’t took the right options at school. In the end, diploma choose for the first 5/10 years max. Then, it’s up to you to drive your own life.

Well, I’ll try not to say they are the doomed generation 😅.

Do you also have that reflex to do Ctrl+z when you screw something in real life ? Like, you broke a glass, Ctrl+z. Oh shit, doesn’t works…

Travel un time. But only toward future. And at a time scale of 1.

Agree. I bought one to go on trek, but you need to refuel it every week. Maybe 2 weeks if you tight it in inner tube. I ended up buying a storm lighter instead. I put it in my underpant when it’s too cold, to avoid gas liquify 😂.

Really ? Never saw anyone use it. Are you in Northen Europe/cold area maybe ?

I’ve never seen a single European use a Zippo. We use Bic over here !

I listen it as a teen without understanding the lyrics (I’m French). Just figured out what it means a few years ago.

Me, skipping coffee break to look serious while I’m working on side projects and personal stuff.

I know a guy that nearly lost its thumb because of a baguette. A piece of the crust stuck under its nail. He didn’t paid attention at first, but it begins to become infected and necrotic. Ended up in the hospital for surgery and antibiotics.

Never underestimate the baguette.
