the lesson of Myst is that books are fucking dangerous

doesn't the show have an abysmal rate of people actually staying together?

I think it's pretty cool that everyone has good ideas for how the Democratic party can win over voters and use their power except for the Democratic party

Wife: we're having dinner with my dad tomorrow
Me, knowing that dark souls 2 does not exist in her dad's house: oh

save the skydiving baby and stick his homophobic ass in the omelas hole

Also why is the baby skydiving alone and in control of the parachute? Thats not allowed unless you've racked up a substantial number of jump hours and that seems highly unlikely, even for an articulate baby

Why do all these hypothetical presume it's impossible to lie to a baby?

love to find out that the resume I've been sending everyone has a typo suggesting I've been out of work since April 202*5*

Pursuer, Royal Rat Vanguard, and Covetous Demon down

"I've been enjoying this pan," I say, sounding like a truly boring adult

Are you saying I'm just going to keep learning and growing until I die? Fucked up

It's now ready to mount machine guns on

I hate unnecessary jokes. You're trying to inject some lighthearted frivolity? grow the fuck up

Scorpioness Najka and Skeleton Lords down

"Must have strong proficiency in javascript"
What if I only have strong proficiency in real languages?

I could fix her

this is why I dont update my jiras

My recession indicator is that we had a recession in 2007 and everything has sucked since then

Last Giant, Dragonrider, and Flexile Sentry down

If I made AI a major part of my development process and then the thing I was developing started breaking all the time, I'd probably want to investigate that

I was going to say "you get fucking shattered" but I don't actually know if I've ever said that when you die in the game you shatter. You do. You shatter. It's startling every time. Okay now we have contextual parity.

If you throw a physics prop in the air and it lands on your head, it deals damage. Sensible. For some reason, sometimes when you throw a physics object away from you it deals an insane amount of damage instantly and you get fucking obliterated

It's just a series of trying and failing and not making progress and not knowing what to do and getting beaten down constantly, and then I start playing Dark Souls

I dont think playing Dark Souls while depressed and unemployed is helping tbh

Friendly reminder that I am a very skilled web developer and if you don't hire me then Aslan will be disappointed in you

I wouldn't think so. Some people don't want to pursue a manager track and some places don't have Staff/Principal roles. But I imagine it depends on the recruiter/company. I can see some people thinking "well obviously everyone wants to progress to higher-paying roles, so why hasn't this person?"

yesterday I went to bed at 3am, woke up at 7 to get the kids out the door on time, went back to bed at 8, and slept until noon

I don't pay attention to economists. Are they really saying "but prices haven't changed much year over year [since everything shot up 25%]"?

I assume I was supposed to be a manager or staff engineer or something by this point but I really like building things exclusively for companies that run into financial trouble and lay people off

Just looking at job listings and wondering how my 15-year career feels so weirdly anemic
