Yeah it wasn't great but there was obviously no policy change. During my four year tenure there, we went through six managers if that says anything.

My Starbucks tried to do this shit a decade ago. I came in with the flu and made sure to let everyone know that the manager just wouldn't accept me calling in.

I can't keep up with all the social justice stuff so I just quit caring about most of it.

I think Nick Mullen vocalized it best when people started throwing them Ukranian flag in their usernames and he was miffed that he had to remember another type of "gay" again.

Liberals are out here doing victory laps about pronouns in bios while their actual rights are getting systematically stripped away.

Same, MMO username since Ragnarok just slight variations of spelling.

None of the clowns using that term have a real diagnosis.

I think most of us do. The state of mental healthcare across the US is in shambles a fucking joke. Trauma based therapy is a fucking joke. We have a generation of brain broken tablet kids that all believe they're on the spectrum because their parents so desperately want to be victims that they doctor shop for a diagnosis while they themselves self diagnose "AuDHD" because they like to stack things and play with a fidget spinner, but let's draw the line at calling anyone a retard.

At least America will have the factory and farm workers we need when the tablet kid generation hits working age and is functionally illiterate and have zero basic life skills. 🤷

I think we have to say "neurospicy" now, right?

I'm at about $160k and I still drive a 2012 base model manual Kia Soul haha.

They said it will be a direct competitor for the Meta Quest 3, so I'm guessing around $400. I've been waiting for Valve to drop exactly this!

I've found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?

I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.

 

After what seems like a year of near constant stress, disappointment, and loneliness, I decided to stop sitting at my computer all day and start making better choices for myself. This was a really hard thing to do for me since I work from home about two feet from my entertainment area. I would end up sitting at my desk all day and neglecting things that I wanted to do and I wasn't sure why.

This month I have:

Set up the Ender 3 V2 that was sitting in my closet for two years and printed out a bunch of cool shit with my kid.

Exercised every other day to try to help myself with some vicious joint pain that has developed recently.

Kept the dishes from piling up on my desk.

Made doctor and dentist appointments.

Don't get me wrong, things are still stressful and disappointing, but I feel a lot better than I have in a long time. What have you done to care for yourself lately? Digging yourself out of depression is hard and I want to hear your successes, no matter how small they are.
