It's obvious that my boss is a sheltered, christian, conservative individual from a very wealthy family. I was wondering how they got an exec position with zero leadership experience and seemingly terrible communication skills. Turns out, their family donates a ton of money to the org.

Does the feeling of being burnt out but grinding on because you have to ever go away? Or will this just be the rest of my adult life?

The impact that the Undertale soundtrack still has on me speaks volumes to how fantastic of a game it is. Decided to listen this morning and the instant the first notes of Fallen Down started playing....damn.

Pretty sure this was the first book of yours I read, and it was entirely because the cover caught my attention in the book store. I love finding books that way.

Nobody is better at hating others for being happy than a lonely straight man. Why recognize their own flaws/issues and work to improve them? When instead they can make everyone else as angry and sad as they are, even if they have to destroy the planet to do it. Techbros do be maidenless 💅

Congress and the Supreme Court gleefully handing all power to the dimentia-ridden, narcissistic, bloated corpse in the white house. Despicable. The blatant corruption and disregard for the rule of law is disgusting. It's all disgusting. People need to rot in prison cells for all of it.

Currently reading Seasons of Glass and Iron by @amalelmohtar.com The stories in this book are fucking incredible. I just finished A Hollow Play, and...wow did it hit me like a truck. Just....wow. I'll just be here tearing up while I continue reading. You should go read this book.

Origin video game except I'm not posting the copy+paste text cuz I'm lazy. Tomb Raider 2 and Need For Speed 3 on the family computer. I barely knew what I was doing but I loved it. I've since played every single mainline tomb raider game released and still love cars/racing games to this day.

Found a cool game on steam that helps a lot too. >The Farmer was Replaced() gives me a fun way to wrap my head around the logic and syntax of Python. Plus gives me "projects" that I can use to learn. Having a project is definitely the easiest way to learn coding. *End rambling/brain dumping*

It's such a struggle to work all day and then try to wrangle my brain into learning something after. My brain is just tired at the end of the day. But I'll get there eventually. Years of working with SQL and testing APIs/DBs has helped tremendously to get me started.

I'm learning a lot about automation and ETL just in the process of setting up processes and data flows at work using Microsoft apps (Power Automate, BI, Sharepoint Lists, etc). But I'm trying to learn Python as well to augment those skills.

As someone with a Business/Finance degree, business programs have always been the "find the cheapest and easiest way to do everything and disregard the quality of the outcome" degree. Might as well rename it to MBE, Master of Business Enshitification.

It's sad that we live in a society where an elected representative taking actions that actually benefit their constituents is noteworthy. I want to live in a society where that's the norm/baseline. Why the hell are we okay with our representatives not representing the people?

The truth was that if United Health had an AI that was accepting a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate, United Health would stop using the AI in about 0.2 seconds.

Hi, my name is *insert generic late twenty-something corporate worker name* and I have no clue what I'm doing. 🙂 Corporate work kills my soul. But I sure can turn on the happy, charismatic voice for my meetings and sound like I'm excited to be there. Only 30+ years of this to go ☠️

how it feels trying to lower the tbr pile while actively contributing to the tbr pile

The robot was placed behind clear acrylic walls and it had one job – to contain the deep-red liquid within a predetermined area. When it senses that the liquid has trickled past the mark, it frantically brushes the liquid back.

Your childhood fantasy nostalgia is not worth the actual lives of trans people. End of discussion. If you watch this &/or buy the merch, you're signaling to trans folks that you're okay funding a campaign of genocide against them & with JKR's bigotry. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQIA2 #FuckHP

People who feel the need to abbreviate everything in a work environment. I have one question. WHY? How much time are you truly saving by writing "clm" instead of "column" Writing "ED" instead of "Excel doc" just makes me think you're writing erectile dysfunction. *Frustrated screaming*

Thinking about how many incredible books, music, and video games we miss out on as a society because those with the creative potential to make them are trapped working a job just to survive. They don't have the time or money to create the next masterpiece. It's a shame.
