How many years experience? It took me a few years before I started making a decent wage.

Definitely keep honing your skills and applying around for different jobs, and taking jobs that you can use to “leapfrog” to other, even better jobs.

Thank you, I was pretty proud of it

After I stopped caring about having a unified online persona, I just picked random names everywhere. Sometimes I’ll just drop a name that doesn’t fit anymore.

Feels so freeing. Like this is my at work account. When I hand in my work laptop, it’s gone.

You gotta have the “XxX” at the end too for the symmetry!

Yeah I graduated a good while ago - diploma in programming from a technical school which – for anyone who isn’t familiar – offers a sort of pared down education with an emphasis on job placement (credits for doing highly subsidized work in the field). I was always drawn to the humanities, too. Took a stab at anthropology, but maybe the time wasn’t right.

Anyway, even a simple “advanced diploma” in programming nearly killed me (I got a passing “D” in maths that I am very proud of), but now I don’t have any issue finding gainful employment, which is nice. Downside being all the creative humanities stuff that is my real passion is purely for hobbies now. I honestly don’t hate the arrangement.

My partner taught English as a second language, too. She found it rewarding, and met a lot of her now good friends doing that.

My toaster oven’s manual says I have to power it down, clean out the crumb tray, and unplug it after every use or risk starting a fire. After every use. That’s literally what it says. This is what you get when you give the lawyers free rein over the technical writing. It’s insanity.

I went back at 35. It was very much worth it. What are you taking, if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m with ya, just didn’t find those points particularly compelling.

As opposed to what? The freakin rain has μlastics - kind of hard to get away from.

I think I was a year into living on my own when I realised I could eat whatever I wanted. I have a distinct memory of walking from the microwave at work with two paper cups stuffed with dogs, and more between my fingers, like a corn dog wolverine.

I probably had malnutrition because I didn’t know how to feed myself for shit lol no wonder I was starving

Hey I’m on Ubuntu because I’m lazy, not because I have a life

But surely you must admit that they do extract more wealth from the working classes for people who just move money around. Let’s see your profit-less crown corporation do that. Checkmate /s

It is sad and gross in a way that’s hard to pin down. I can find nature both beautiful and delicious at the same time.

pomodoro_longbreak, to asklemmy in Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.

The connection between madness and pineapples has been a topic of conversation for years, but no one knows exactly why the two complement each other so perfectly.
