Think about how fast you can evacuate from the cocaine after snorting cocaine

The new law will allow kids ages 14 and 15 to be able to work until 11 p.m. during the summer.

The way they use the word “allow” feels like some really creative writing.

I think if you want specifically fediverse answers those are the way to go, but I’ve had a lot of luck with just adding “forum” on the end of stuff. Seems to give an even split between bulletin forums, Reddit/Twitter, and blogs for any given subject matter.

Jfc that’s grim. I get that these kinds of things have gotten less shocking over time since it’s all coming to light on a monthly or even weekly basis, but those cops didn’t see those men as people at all.

It’s fucking monstrous what the police were capable of doing, and I honest-to-god don’t think any rehabilitation of their behavior is possible; they don’t just deserve to be fired, they should be in jail for life.

This is more preventative than something that would help you now, but try to practice gratitude/active appreciation. It’s a bit of a slog to start, but once you get in the habit you’ll feel overall more positive and more directly in control of how you feel at times like this.

Basically, take time a few times throughout the day to acknowledge something you’re thankful for or are enjoying, and then say or murmur it out loud to solidify it. Sunny weather or a crisp morning? Feel good about it for a second or two. Those headphones your relative or friend got you as a gift sound banging? Mentally thank them for it.

This is one of the few therapeutic practices that have a universally positive impact on mental health and outlook, and it’s definitely served me well in general as well as in very similar circumstances to what you’re dealing with.

Exactly. At this point I’m more invested in fediverse services. Between that and RSS feeds, they scratch 90% of the dopamine itch that Twitter and Reddit did. If the communities just continue to expand a little bit more at the rate they’re already going, I’ll have no desire to look back.

I mean, reading that, it’s a stretch but not that much of a stretch. They’re basically saying “JVM, .NET, Node, a bunch of CI/CD and DevOps tools” and then a bunch of repeats and calling out adjacent technologies/specific dependencies. It’s not something where you’d be expected to work on all of those every day, but work full-stack at a company a bit and drift into a few different projects and you’d check those boxes. This is just a very bad/scary job posting calling out every minutiae.
