Heyyy welcome back!
Heyyy welcome back!
Impostor syndrome is a bitch
Yes it is, but look - onboarding at a new place is always tough. I’m assuming you didn’t lie and your resumè isn’t completely full of shit; you’ll do great. Bring in the knowledge you hold from your previous experience, and be willing to learn from your new employer, and you’ll rock out. You can handle this for sure.
I’m usually that person as well. BG3 was the first game in probably 8 years that hooked me on the story. If I sprinted through it, I would have probably saved like 80% of the time I spent playing it, but I enjoyed it. Maybe I’m simple, to me it felt like the decisions mattered.
I wonder if you put some worn clothing (like a t-shirt) outside if it will help her pick up a scent and bring her back
Reading this took me back 25 years when I left the Midwest for California. The journey on the way to your next destination is such an adventure. I’m excited for you, it’s gonna be awesome. Embrace the change, and don’t forget where you came from.
Also, don’t forget to introduce people to that awesome KC barbecue, it’s legit.
Take me home…
Indeed, Telegram is a hive of criminal content. At the moment, the platform is in the news with the illegal broadcasting of Ligue 1 matches.
This is pretty funny. The first example of crime is people posting dodgy links to football streams? They can’t be serious.
Sorry it took me a week to get back to this, because I really did want to discuss it. The American welfare system is all the things you mentioned and worse. In conservative states, they actively make things harder on poor people to live, and then make it harder for poor people to vote these knobs out of office.
So yeah, I understand that the cruelty is the point. Then the Republican Party marches some Uncle Tom up on the dais to give a speach about some billionaire shitbird that pretends to care about poor people of any color. The fact that someone in a trailer park in the south thinks that Trump cares about them is really sad to me.
The fact that our state elected JD “I fuck couches and can’t order donuts” Vance as an actual senator in this state because Peter Thiel propped him up with an endless supply of money is embarrassing enough, but then this hillbilly elegy moron just keeps opening his mouth and makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes scholar by comparison.
It’s all really tiring, and I guess that’s what they’re going for. But I’ll be god damned if I leave this shithole state a worse place than I found it. I’m not going away until we unfuck our gerrymandered state like Michigan managed to unfuck theirs.
Obviously the way to combat this is to organize dozens or more people who just walk around, load up shopping carts, then leave the store without buying anything. They can pay people to put everything back.
BMW indicators work fine, they’re just designed so that poor people can’t see them.
No one:
BMW: - seat warmers as a service - Apple CarPlay / Android Auto as a service - suspension as a service
BMW can get bent.
Nah, this is just good people doing good things for other people in need.
I can actually see how you might think it’s a boring dystopia, but this is just how we live where I’m from.
That whole mindset is weird to me. I’m in my mid 40s and just got hired on as a team lead for a bunch of kids who are fresh out of college. They’re exactly where I am when I started and I’m excited to share my 20 years of experience and mentor them.
They wanted to hire me on as their supervisor but I made it clear that the extra couple grand a year for that headache didn’t interest me.
I believe it’s a Crowdstrike EDR software update pushed through a windows update that caused the outage, which is definitely not a consumer solution.
Having had something to do with endpoint management in my past life, this is exactly the reason why we roll out updates gradually, and not to everyone all at once. My current employer did this the right way, and we had like 20% of the endpoints blue screen and we could actually function today while we worked through the issue.
Just following up because it seems like you’re interested. It’s been two weeks now, and after talking to his usual vet about what happened, he convincingly reassured me that I didn’t do anything wrong, and after opening up to other people I know, I’m in a much better place now. I’m still heartbroken, but at least I’m not blaming myself anymore.
I did talk to my dog’s usual vet and he basically said the same thing - there probably wasn’t anything I could have done. There wasn’t any blood and he wasn’t crying at all, he just laid there. I’m doing better than I was when I posted, but its still painful. He was only 6 and acted like a big puppy up til the last 12 hours he was with us.
Thanks for the reply. I truly appreciate it.
You’re an amazing person, and I hope you know that. Thank you.
Hey thanks, I appreciate you. What you’re saying is all probably true, but I can’t shake this horrible feeling that I failed him. I like my dog more than I like most people I meet, and he was with me all day every day. I hope this feeling lessens with time.
I’m sick to my stomach. My healthy labrador died suddenly on Saturday. He was fine Friday afternoon, got nauseous Friday night, and I was waiting for the vet to open at 8am Saturday to get him in there. He got unresponsive and barely breathing around 6am and I rushed him to the vet ER, and he didn’t make it. The vet said he had a “torsioned spleen” or something like that.
I’ve got an absolutely soul crushing amount of guilt that I didn’t get him to the ER on Friday night. My dog trusted me to protect him and take care of him, and I completely betrayed that trust. I’m in such a place of deep sorrow that it’s impossible to explain with words. Every time I start to fall asleep, I’m suddenly wide awake trying to figure out why I decided not to act sooner.
Not sure why I’m sharing this, I guess I just had to get it off my chest.
Hear, hear!
