I’m not in the US, so my advice isn’t very applicable. I think the job market is very different over there than it is where I’m from in Australia.

Still, might help you to know I worked my way into a full time WFH job with very little skills or relevant qualification. Full luck, I’m sure, but I applied for a data admin job and then worked my way into a more specialized role within the company. They can’t get me back into the office now, I’m too entrenched.

Good luck with your search, finding a company that offers it isn’t nearly as hard as landing the gig.

War is the enemy of humanity and I’m going to be existentially disillusioned if I witness the start of another global conflict.

balatro and animal crossing activate the lizard part of my brain that tells me its time to kill

Kind of in awe over a ‘temporary relocation’ of an entire block of houses.

All 5 of them are inclusive of the songs you’ve been posting over the last couple of days. Seriously, I’m used to tinny songs from the 1920s and you’ve been sharing banger after banger.

I’m a Socialist - Marcel Cartier has been getting so much playtime in my house my partners complaining about it.

Sometimes users get a bit excited over inserting skips and you’ll get a video where honest-to-god one single word is marked to be skipped, or like, the intro is marked as self promotion - but! I still can’t use YouTube without it.

Wow, and just get rid of gig economy workers? I bet you expect Amazon delivery drivers to piss in the toilet and not their drink bottles, too. Fucking pinko.

From my limited view on Chinese culture (I visited once and browsed rednote during the tiktok ‘ban’) I don’t think anyone, either socially or professionally, cares about political views to nearly the extent as in the west. If one were to move to China, what would be ultimately regarded is your ability to contribute and your positive influence on your local community. You could do this as a pigheaded capitalist or a principled marxist leninist - I don’t think they’d care, as long as you fit in.

I remember when just ‘browsing’ the internet (google) was a pass time. Like you could just search random things into google and find something interesting or novel. The earliest iterations of google basically functioned exactly how you’d want a search engine to and needed zero improvement. we really do live in a fucked world where a technology or service can be perfected but inevitably made worse over time to the benefit of no one but the top

there are some construction projects that instill awe, make you reflect on the hard work it takes to build and the defiance to the natural world it represents. like it really makes you reflect on how the pyramids must have been built versus how we can build things now, and the inherent majesty with our collective talents

anyway those sorts of construction projects are just on every other corner of china lol they really do not give a fuck, if they want a road there by god the road is going there

nah, if you’re weird enough to be you, someone else is weird enough to be for you.

I find myself on Quora more than I would think based off its layout. I think the website is very messy and sometimes makes the information hard to parse. But I do agree in general that I think it has a bad reputation for what it is.

I love BE, I’m in that sweet spot of having never engaged with his online presence but occasionally watched his scripted videos. It makes everyone seem absolutely unhinged when they auto-nope out of any conversation involving him, when the takes usually in question is something like ‘genocide bad’

you do automatically assume countries that aren’t capitalist are authoritarian, though. democracy isn’t just voting between two major parties at election time.

Its a bit bleak-sounding for my personal tastes, but definitely invites my curiosity. I think it’s pretty good!
