I actually don’t come here too often in part because I’m not interested in the topics that are popular here.

Not bad, not great. I buy my veggies from a grocery that specializes in that, it’s much cheaper and less plastic. No yogurt? No solid/brick cheese? No nuts and dried fruit? No canned beans or dried beans? Peanut butter?

What you really need is a $/portion table to see what’s actually expensive here.

I think the muffins tip you over the edge into junk food land. They are very empty and basically the same as the rolls, the kraft dinner, and whatever is in the red box. A fair bit of this stuff is basically sugar and bread.

Boy that article was a whole lot of nothing.

That’s… hmm. Definitely not worth a YouTube commentary video.

Because the last gen of parents struggle to let their kids grow up

Because two planes hit two buildings (and the other one) and like 3-4 buildings imploded. It didn’t look real.

Im guessing engineers didn’t plan for planes to strike the building which is why they crumbled.

That was literally it. It was so odd a situation to our daily lives that parts of it didn’t seem real.

I like building things and being alone and woodworking is my go to activity. It involves working with and learning about wood and tools to work with wood, project management for more complex projects, tons of spatial thinking, drawing, research, prototyping. I spend a large amount of time drawing.

When I see stuff like this I just never go back there again. I don’t give a shit what celebrities do or say. Make good movie. Be good actor.

Wow I’m surprised but I guess they know their audience better than I do

I found after a while of talking to these things the benefits wore off. Humans are surprising, intuitive and creative. The robots are predictable in what type of reply they’ll provide.

Still useful to help develop healthier internal dialogue but therapy is better at addressing problems.

Shame on everyone in this thread that wants to have an argument about indoor v outdoor cats. 99 problems this isn’t one we need to pull out the torches for.

None of these are as bad as they were before, but Windows OS still sucks. Apple isn’t selling bargain devices of any kind. They are more like decent investments (if you don’t include the butterfly era).

I’m a boomerang. Reddit has the content, but it’s largely focused on the larger subs which are the ones I want to avoid. I’ll have to decide whether or not I want to run into obvious tankies (mayo) or try to spot misinformation campaigns (reddit).

And reddit is getting worse in every way. Reddit wants to turn into an ad platform and that’s the way things are going. Lot’s more locked comments and posts, totally unchecked misinformation and dooming.

On iOS through firefox the google login prompt can’t be closed. This is what prompted me back, I started using Voyager again.

I might come back and search for another home server, create a new account and delete my old one. Start fresh.

Israel is doing the best it can do in a difficult moral situation.

I wish I could block sources as well as users.

I’ve been blocking these users.

Goodbye Gork.

In theory at least they are motivated to retain listeners.

Turns out the only employable degree was CS!

Student loans would put a damper on my plans as well. I’m thinking of vocational programs. Nurse, police officer, pilot, therapist, cybersecurity engineer. I was an Emergency Medical Responder briefly after undergrad when I felt so lost. From zero to card carrying level 1 medic took about 2-3 months and maybe $2-3k. I worked in industry making about $250 a day, contract work. Boring AF. That kind of thing is on the table, but obviously a big departure from what you are headed right now.

Being unemployed after school was a dark time. There aren’t enough high quality jobs to go around. It’s competitive, especially at the start of your career.

That GPA is tough. Mine isn’t much better. One option I’m looking at is going back to increase my cGPA so I can get into a grad program. I wish I could go way back in time. But if I could only go back to where you are right now I’d do what I needed to do to get into grad school. Caveat: something employable.

My experience after finally getting the damn job is that I still feel trapped, years later. I took the first one that was offered to me, and it’s not the one I wanted. I’m part way through a career I don’t like and shifting gears in your 30s is another challenge I wish I could have side stepped.

The bullshit doesn’t stop. The business environment is a political environment. You can be the best engineer, but if you aren’t constantly pushing your own agenda or you don’t have an excellent manager then you won’t advance in your career, not compared to one who does those things.

One other thing: you might not need to lie. I’m a truthful person as well, and if you have autism you might default even more strongly to honesty. I think it’s possible to work around this if you start thinking about yourself as being a better person than you are, and then trying to become that person one small step at a time. If you can learn to recognize your potential instead of counting your failures then you might find it easier to talk and think about yourself in a more positive way. It will feel true because it is true, (even if you’re still working on it).

It’s a very hard time.
