Cat’s are a more viable option if your work schedule is crazy and you can have them where you live. I have two and they have literally saved my life at least a couple times so far. I initially got one, but she needed much more play time than I was prepared to provide, so I got a second one so she had someone to play with regularly. I love them both so much it’s crazy. With the automatic feeder I only need to feed them once a day manually (they get wet food once a day), and the litter boxes only need to be cleaned every few days. If I got automatic litter boxes it would be even less work. The really nice thing about cats is their social cues are so different, like if you ignore them they think you’re chill and nice and will come say hi, so when I’m feeling really down and falling into a spiral one of them ends up sitting on me or getting in my face to demand attention and it helps break the spiral. Also they’re so warm and soft just being able to touch them is nice. I could go on and on about the benefits of having cats lol.

Whether you end up getting a pet or not I hope you’re doing better. You are more than your body. You’re a woman, no matter what anyone else says.

Cheating on exams by gaining a deeper understanding of the material so you can just rederive the answers during the exam.

Draw her making sapphic eyes at a tall cute goth girl

I wish we could trade cause I really want my own tits.

Sure would be cool if any of the catbox images would load

It would would have been cool if you’d left out the vegan propaganda

This is the same argument that results in the majority of software created being slow stupid trash. “We don’t have time to fix those major architectural problems that are going to grind improvement to a halt later, we need to release this new stupid feature yesterday because line must go up.”

I wish it would hurt them bad enough they would fucking stop

What they don’t tell you about blahaj is they’re kind of cheap. Blahaj is not very firm. I was mildly disappointed when I got mine.

That’s so hot

The problem with religion is it primes people for believing things just based on a trusted authority saying so. There’s no evidence in support of the existence of any supernatural entities whatsoever, and there’s no evidence to support the existence of a life after death, but people believe it anyway and religion holds their “faith” to be a virtue in and of itself. You could argue that that isn’t harmful by itself, but consider that many religious people believe things that the evidence of their own eyes proves impossible, and that any idea is fair game when you treat faith as a virtue. It doesn’t matter if people today only believed the “good” parts of religion, eventually someone will corrupt their blind faith and convince them of whatever they want, like that being gay is a sin worthy of death, that trans people are evil and shouldn’t be allowed to exist, that your pastor is totally a great guy and you should donate money to the church and totally trust him alone with your kids. The dangers of religion are in teaching people to stop thinking for themselves.

I have to hard disagree with you there. The beauty of the math equations they test you with in school is completely artificially selected. The vast majority of math does not have nice neat solutions. There is a lot of it that doesn’t have any solution at all. The beauty of engineering is figuring out how much of things you actually need. You might calculate that some quantity should be an irrational number for some design optimum, but the amount of precision you actually need will be some range around that. When you do that and see your design in the real world actually functioning, that’s the greatest feeling in the world by far.

Every accusation is a confession.

This prompted me to read the gender dysphoria bible myself.

A classic gender dysphoria trope is the kid who wears nothing but sweatpants and hoodies.

Me sitting here reading it in sweatpants and a hoodie lol.

That is a beautiful cat

Just a reminder that insurance is a scam. You are compelled to pay for it under penalty of law in the case of car insurance, and the insurance companies do everything possible to maximize their profits, being for profit companies. What this means in general is that people pay more into insurance than they ever get out. If they didn’t the insurance companies wouldn’t make a profit. The money you pay isn’t going into some huge fund that supports everyone who pays for it. If it doesn’t go to paying out claims now it goes straight to the insurance executives, or investors, or to “lobbying” politicians to keep the racket going. The day you stop paying out you get fucking nothing. All that money is just gone, for the pleasure of maybe having your claim paid out if your insurance company can’t weasel their way out of paying. Insurance is a scam, a bunch of penny pinching middlemen draining the world of human productivity and effort for their own benefit and nothing else. Any benefit a particular individual happens to get is a loss to be minimized to them.

Those are rookie numbers. You need to pump those numbers up.

Just a reminder you can say fucking here. Fucking fuck shit you can, and holy fucking dogshit does that cunt fucking AI bullshit not even fucking work to replace a fucking intern, let alone a full ass engineer.

I think my CEO is doing something wrong then because he seems to be trying to maximize IC whiplash sometimes.

The true answer, which not one single CEO will ever want to hear until the problem becomes so dire it threatens the business, is if all the tools available are hot garbage, it’s time to build your own. Generality in software has a cost, and for large multidisciplinary problems like job tracking or ticketing, that cost makes developing an in-house tool for solving your specific problem and your specific use case much more efficient than what any general tool could produce. All those stupid features that some other company depends on, or no one uses, or are only there because someone was trying to capture all possible use cases, can simply not exist. That makes the tool faster, more efficient, simpler to use, and when you realize there’s some feature that would be really valuable you can just implement it rather than cludge together some half assed version in someone else’s proprietary shitpile. There is a scale where things like jira make sense, but much like cloud services it’s a technical trap because by the time you realize the tool doesn’t really work for your use case it’s too late to switch. At that point you’re already past the point you need to start developing your own tool, but the sunk cost fallacy is a bitch and there’s never enough funding for that. Pay no attention to the csuite salaries.
