My favorite computer game is Overwatch, and the characters in it have stories. The world view is complete and the relationship is complicated. The most important thing is that the ass looks good

The living environment in childhood has a huge impact on a person, and sometimes many of our behaviors can be attributed to the influence of the original family

I am currently looking for a suitable cat, and I want to raise one. The cat is so cute, I can’t resist its charm

Every time I deal with an idiot customer, I daydream about winning the lottery and then buying the company I work for. Then I would still work but would choose just the smart and normal clients and let others do the dumb fucks.

me and my dad had a little war with this lmao. He would drive me to school at 8am and wake up at 7am and i'd wake up at 6:30am. Well he wanted up first so he woke up at 6:00am to beat me at first up. So one day I decide there is no way he'll do 5am and this madman started waking up at 4 fucking am, sometimes not even sleeping to be first up. The dude fell a sleep at the wheel a few time so I went back to 6:30am and never test the power of a dad again lmao.


This made me laugh and I think my mom does this to me or us kids. When my brothers all use to live at home and still to this day. Me and my last brother, my recent job I woke up before anyone (5-5:30am) and my brother's job I have no idea when he wakes up for because I was the one who woke up first and left the house when he woke up until now that I am not working. I still wake up early but not as early as my mom.

Jobs where the expectations of the position aren't clear. The person hiring you should be able to give a clear idea of your responsibilities are day to day in a practical way. It shows that the company understands what it wants out of the position.

I've worked a couple positions that had a really hard time figuring out who was supposed to do what that lead to a lot of confusion and both of them had this in the interviews. If the company you're working for can't define what success in that position looks like you won't be able to either.
A former workmate invited me to interview at a startup once, for a new position of "Director of Support".

Between the invite and the interview, the title of the position changed twice. When talking with management and then the technical director, they all seemed to have grand-but-fuzzy expectations out of the position... but I got the sense that everyone had their own idea of what the position was going to provide for them.

When asking my would-be boss for specifics about what my day-to-day role would be, he kept turning the question around: Well, that's what we are looking for YOU to answer!

He was one of those Elon Musk types who seemed to have a game of 4th dimensional chess going on in his head, but not enough communication skills to adequately express it- or else he would give you some weird Socratic question as an answer. Yeah, I'm an IT guy and I like solving problems... but solving my boss isn't one of them. Hard pass.

Trying to get back into physical activity. I was a gym rat and during quarantine was really hard. I had a couple weights, but I was a powerlifter, so it wasnt the same as lifting heavy weight. Quarantine has passed, gyms are open with precautions, but I remember being really down on myself this summer and eventually forcing myself to do some bodyweight exercises and go for a lot of bike rides.

Even when the gyms did finally open it still took some effort to return to a normal workout routine. I had to battle myself to get there for a couple months.

I used to serve at a restaurant where we wore pagers that buzzed us when a table's food was ready. Good idea right? Well the owners had the policy that you had to immediately go pick up the food no matter what, and that included if you were in the middle of taking another table's order. They said that people "understand" and are cool with it. Of course they weren't though. Every time I stopped taking a table's order and went and got the food, they were totally pissed off. I could not believe the owners did not understand why literally no other restaurant on the planet does it that way.

I was a student. It was the first day of school. There were six of us who were late. The reason: the school bus stop was moved to a new location. We all piled into my mother's car. We went to the principal's office. The office manager said notice letters were sent to us, so she checked her log. The notices were never sent out.

As a software engineer, rather than remoting in, I could just dial in and download the 100-200k of source code and work on it at home. Security wasn't a real issue then. (DOS text based software).
And instead of trying to work on the source with maybe a 1000 other people, your whole software team that might modify your module might be fewer than 5 people unless you worked for Microsoft.

Spending hundreds of euros on broken musical instruments because they were pretty. I have since bought spare parts and started repairing them.

I found my destiny.

So you say we buy it and stack it and we use it in the future when we are ready? I’ve always wondered how I enter this community. I feel like you guys are the wolfs of the Wall Street internet world lol. I got $100 Bitcoin on Gemini, you say a good start is to buy whenever I can & save it?
