Made better when you literally have no change from yesterday’s standup. Lol

it started happening once i’ve reached middle age and i’ve been able to mitigate it heavily by switching to more supportive footwear and better ergonomics for work.

i try to learn from it and take action to mitigate the worst outcomes that i can foresee happening for myself.

the one that’s still alive is hellbent on repeating the same behaviors they did before and all i can do is watch from a distance while my siblings who are close try to handle it all; in vein, is suspect.

i sneezed and it triggered a muscle spasms on my lower back that led to me being stuck in bed for two weeks.

it would happen again a year or so later when i reached for a glass of water and again; another year or so later; when i tripped on uneven pavement.

Looks just like mine did and I lost her suddenly at that age as well. rest in peace my sweet angel.

Cherish them while you still have them; they can be taken from you w zero notice sometimes.

why is it not surprising that the .worlder’s use them?

meme’s are more consumable because of their brevity and their humor and i wonder whether or not they’re more proned to manipulation given that longer forms of media DEFINITELY are given that they require much more capital to create.

This field is so incredibly lousy w people like us that it makes me marvel at the ones w the kind of job security that I crave because it means that their hyper focus not only aligns w the company’s profit line but they’ve also managed to have a tenure that steered clear of enough clueless neurotypicals to keep them from getting fired or on the chopping block for a layoff.

I qualify as an aspie too and I would likely be in the same boat were it not for my software development skills.

i’ve recently had to accept that my neurodivergence makes managers, supervisors, etc. uneasy about me despite my stellar track record and the sole reason why i was able to maintain continuous employment was because of my high demand skill set; which means that employment will become increasingly difficult as i continue to age.

my experience suggests that they usually either go into consulting or software sales/relations; it went back to IT because it’s easier to find work due to the lower levels of gatekeeping, which helps ensure that i meet my need to remain in the place i’ve chosen to live out the rest of my life.

… my point is that humans undervalue harms that are seen as less acutely, physically brutal …

i think you’ve excellently summed up the reason why horrible things like a genocide are allowed happen; so long as we’re not allowed to witness the atrocities in the media and we dehumanize them, we will never understand the needful visceral reaction to stop it.

So the risks are undervalued and both intentionally and unconsciously minimized. The result is most of us who’ve seen the inside are quietly horrified and that’s the end of it.

i wonder if something like the Hippocratic Oath could help; but then again the same physicians to took the oath committed atrocities & human rights violations under the eugenics programs/pushes that that the united states suffered from in the early to mid 20th century.

i started in a similar fashion (but through IT instead of electrical engineering) and i’ve also left the world of professional software engineering a couple of months ago, but not because of the bad code bases.

it feels like bad/spaghetti code with bad practices are more common than not and i’ve always wondered if the relatively intense level of gatekeeping in the software engineering field is a manifestation of a false mass belief that an engineering degree will automatically result in better code.

If you can afford it; get a lawyer in involved.

If you can’t: pray, if you’re religious

If you’re not: I hope you’re not American and I hope you’re lucky

sand is merely tiny rocks; they’re one in the same. lol

my favorite used to be a sauce named “amor” that was primarily centered around southern california and baja california.

it was a little bit like cholula, but w MUCH stronger vinegar punch to it and it makes my mouth water every time i think about it on top of chips or other snacks; sort of like frank’s hot sauce if it were more sour and more picante at the same time.

the brand still exists, but their recipe changed significantly about 20-ish years ago and i’ve been unable to find anything like it to call my favorite.

porn star; that is if i were hot. lol

and it was disregarded to make facts seem baseless; so it bared repeating.

sealioning is a thing

i guess i just don’t like the fact that i’ve paid more than five-star-restaurant for my soup when there are clearly other groups that can afford more and there’s leverage that can be used to everyone’s mutual benefit.
