yeah, whatever. doesn't affect me too much.

I will continue fixing up my piece of shit old cars until I literally cannot get parts for them, and by then there will probably be an actual viable alternative for me that isn't a 2018 shitty-tech infested nightmare with poor visibility, bloated size, and headlights that will get people killed

I need to put stuff up on my walls, and this is actually something that I would put up as artwork

I want to throttle every microsoft employee. I have enough issues with the CAD program itself, I don't need fucking office365 and explorer freezing and crashing nonstop

I think my friends (the ones that aren't in the same field anyways) would be surprised by how much of my time is sitting around doing shit that a junior should be doing instead of more important engineering-type stuff

"so you just got paid $100 to sit around and watch an intermittently frozen software program for a couple hours and clicking a button every now and then, while answering questions you've answered two or three times before in your message history with this person, and sat in on three meetings that you didn't even need to speak during, and you have absolutely no work product to show for the past two hours of your time yet?"

"yep. I'm gonna blow my brains out if this continues"

ofc, the other side of this is "so you spent 6+ hours working nonstop going straight from task to task while being constantly available to multiple other departments and context switching nonstop, and you finished up three models and documented some project stuff and verified a few applications with calculations and whatnot", to which the answer is the same "yep. I'm gonna blow my brains out if this continues"

anything that's worth saying, is worth saying twice

no business license? extra taxes! also, limits on how many you can own, because why not? get ahead of that dual-massive-car family nonsense

I'm not a fan of stuff that disproportionately limits the average person and allows the rich to do something, but in this case, it's better than nothing

that's nice of them to help out like that

well as long as it's not my employer that can see it, and it's just the government, I guess it's okay

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

but in the situation that you do, make sure that you ostracize and shame anybody who has one

I think in this case it was more the lack of winter tires and weight over the rear

awful lot of people seem to think all-terrain tires are perfectly suited for winter
