Yep 100%, it’s real shit, wouldn’t even joke about this happening tbh. I saw a horrible video a long time ago of… ahem let’s just say a malfunctioning escalator in China. Horrifying.

Literally indistinguishable from startup company swag. If someone wore this and I didn’t know what Concord was I wouldn’t even bat an eye

Aww she’s incredibly cute!

haha searching for my little fella freaked me out the first time he decided to “go to bed”. Now I’m completely chill with the fact there may be faint snoring sounds coming from an otherwise inconspicuous blanket

He puts himself to bed! There’s a blanket on the lounge - he wraps himself up in it, and goes to sleep, for hours. If I can’t find him, I look for the breathing lump inside the lounge blanket. I used to think the depictions of Garfield wrapped in a blanket in his bed were just, well, comic book stuff, but no, some cats do this lol.

He also knocks on the door when he needs his toilet changed (we use litter tray liners), to let me know to do it. Yes milord. Work work.

Another one - he’s bad at climbing and has realised when he wants to get up somewhere high (to watch the world from above), he doesn’t actually have to climb up himself. He can just squeal and whimper if I’m in the room and I’ll lift him up there. Hahaha cute lazy bugger.

I apologise for being blunt (but maybe it will give you perspective) but if you’ve been with her for nearly 5 years and the rona times began in early 2020, have you been dealing with this for 4.5 years out of nearly 5 years? Almost the entire duration of the relationship?

Absolutely proprietary

what the fuck was in that dab

Now I want to rewatch season 1 again…

Ave Vulcan!

Min maxing is a legit academic topic? Awesome. I learned what it is from years of being sweaty at killing internet dragons

I was told that’s just orange cats and they all share it

This guy looks like he has at least a dozen… maybe a few less after the beer

Wow nice I will actually use that, thanks!

I’m glad I’m not the only one lmao

Yep, that’s the movie. Hmm I haven’t seen Taxi Driver but I hear they’re similar. The opening scene of Falling Down is like… the character being driven crazy by all these abrasive sensory things while stuck in traffic. Would screw with anyone but yeah… that oldschool srs bsns office getup is my most despised element

You’re right, a lot of the time the rituals get in the way of getting the job done. And you’re welcome, thanks for the thread!

That’s a great example of what I was talking about.

It’s also about the situations: regarding clothing, I avoid working for uptight companies that do the whole “serious business” suit and tie thing and instead work for ones where the dress code is wearing jeans and t shirt every day. But I can only do that now that I’m more economically secure and have the CV power to actually get to make that choice.

So I’m never in a situation day to day where I have to wear a stupid scratchy collared shirt. (Ever seen Falling Down? The opening scene was sooooo hard to watch cos it reminded me of that shit)

It’s a basic about me type thing with links to all my stuff and a contact form (which invokes my self hosted and homemade email sending API). It also has Prometheus metrics which I consume on my “global overview” dashboard (everything happening with all my stuff at once) so I know if somebody has visited. Pretty cosy.

Better, but I suspect that’s largely due to the fact that im way more economically secure now. Thus I can afford, literally, to avoid situations and sensations I can’t handle.

I get this too. Like the Dark Souls bonfire feeling IRL

And that’s ok. What’s not ok is when they’re still idiots when they grow up lol

Yeah, exactly. My attitude is you can cook your own damn books, don’t expect me to log anything other than the actual accurate time. Although I work at a company where we have no time tracking at all, good to be free of it
