Devalue money.

I feel like this was always the plan. Put the plebian frog in the pot of 9-5 corporate hellscape and slowly boil it. We’re all too exhausted to fight.

I hate them so much I wrote a song about them and how they’ll bite the head off a fish so they can fuck the corpse. They’re messed up.

Sloths. They have evil smiles and knife fingers.

One died in a car accident, the other main one had a lot of babies who now have their own babies. I moved continents and changed my name through marriage before I opened any social media accounts, so I have no idea what happened to the bulk of them.

I hear ham flipping is even more lucrative.

Yeah same. I’m a bit confused and concerned. I just want a post comments and enjoy content, I don’t want to keep moving house every couple of years.

My husband once said “we’re not killing the planet, we’re just rearranging it in a way that is not conducive to human life”. I think about that when I feel hopeless, we’re just a blip on a bigger radar, and we need to drop the main character syndrome that the world dies when we do.

Also though, scalp the 1%.

First week of new job, late 20s. Just started keto and trusted a fart. Managed to cut it off fairly quickly so it was just a small moist spot that I could somewhat mop up, but I had to sit in an orientation for an hour before I could drive off to buy a change of knickers.

Keto farts are risky business.

My crush coming online. Miss you, •..••´¯``•.¸¸.•psyko_love•.¸¸.•´´¯`••..•

NPC Hospital, where you’re a doctor and have to deal with the massive body counts from other games.

Or a foraging game, open world style, where you have to travel to the right places during the right time of day to pick certain foods. There are lookalikes and also tons of risks like landowners with guns, pesticides, snakes, and tough terrain. I imagine it would be very much like The Hunter COTW but with plants.

I stg this is what is happening!! The CEO will ‘land’ a huge deal and suddenly the team is now building some random freight TMS integration and we’re being told there is a lot of demand for it. Then the deal never actually closes, the dev work slows and switches back to other things, and he moves on to the next shiny object. Meanwhile I’m having to custom code an API to script solution for fucking Google Sheets because that is somehow not important enough to finish. He just closed a deal and handed it to me for implementation, and there are no guidelines anywhere on what was actually sold. He promises vague outcomes, names a price, and if they’re actually ballsy enough to go for it, I get to figure out what specifically they are asking for, and a way to shoehorn it into our half built architecture.

Wait, you were held against your will in a house by a coworker??

Our startup is failing internally. The product idea keeps changing, projects get switched rapidly, the engineering team got an ass beating by the CEO in an all team meeting for being ‘too slow’ (which was out of line by him) despite trying their best to keep up. We had an amazing chance to be one of the first companies doing what we do, and we’ve just whiffed it. On top of this no one has had pay reviews, some for multiple years. And we’re trying to hire a new position and all the candidates drop out when they see what a shit show everything is. I’ve spoken off the record to half of the team (it’s a small company) and all of them are absolutely over it, looking for other work, doing the bare minimum. I was hired a few years ago as a customer person, but we barely have customers and they’re pressuring me to instead do aggressive consulting and sales stuff. I hate it, but the paychecks keep cashing and I hate job hunting.

Ukuleles and stuff from the Aldi middle aisle

I’m just a sponge being squeezed of every ounce of productivity when I’m at work. It’s never a case of “you’re good enough” but always “aim higher, be better”. I’m over it. The veil has been lifted. None of these businesses see me as a human, and I’m dedicating my world to them I’m exchange for the bare minimum. If everyone was fighting together I’d want to rally, but I don’t get a better slice of the pie if I make it bigger. So… fuck em.

My coworker who messages me gossip like it’s a theatre performance.

Dude.
Duuuude.
OMG 😮
I have tea 🍵

And it always ends up being a let down.

Blowers. It’s what I called pool drains (and lights and vents). Still hate them.

And this one is more of a ‘it would be terrible and now I can’t stop thinking about it’ thing, but steep hills, and how awful it’d be to just roll back down them. In a car or on foot. You just suddenly lose control and start plummeting backwards. I got it worst when I was in San Fran.

I’ve got pretty close with my instant pot recipe, but its hours of work and I end up throwing away so much rotted veg because I don’t use it all. So yeah, way better to buy in from a local place.
