how does it play? I'm curious about it, but know very little of it

after i take a shower i use a qtip to gently dry the insides of my ears and sometimes i go a little further than normal and get scared and think of this line

Map of Maisse, my world to run ttrpgs in
Everything except the trees is hand-drawn (the trees are a brush)

I finished up the geography, as well as the locations of major settlements and roads. All that's left is the hard part: names, histories, political regions, and current events

I have found the first shou puerh that I don't hate (and even, maybe, kinda like)

may god help me

and now, back to my regular avi

whoa

Today's Frieren episode was about how modern Chicago was founded

an entire half episode about fantasy Malört

if anyone has any leads on jobs, my experience may be in ETL/data integration, but I will study my ass off to learn any tech stack in the world for $60k+/year

I'm ngl, I'm getting pretty spooked about my job situation. Employment is scarce, and even with shift work, my car and surgery last year put me in debt that was very manageable with a tech job... and VERY not manageable without. I'm honestly kinda fucked without a good job soon

RTs appreciated

Thank you, friends, for the support I've gotten

Now, I suppose I'm looking for full time employment. I have experience in data integration through sql server and ssis+git, and some dated experience in more general software dev (ci/cd, azure, etc)

Any opportunities you know of would be appreciated

this game might be peak

focused on the business or communicating. I just really can't see myself doing programming long term

At the very least, this may be a good time to really really try to pivot away from this accursed field of CS. I don't think I'm in a position to go full in on tea yet (though I may find temporary work at a tea place if I can), but maybe I can pivot to something cs-adjacent. Something more--

There's a ball of stress in my gut that won't go away since losing my job yesterday. My finances are much tighter right now than they were around this time last year, and this all happened so suddenly.

Luckily, my friends are awesome. With their support, I'll figure this out one step at a time.--

just lost my job. ultimately, this one was my fault. I thought I was doing enough, and that my boss would tell me if I wasn't. I was getting better, too. Even though my trust was misplaced, that doesn't change the fact that I wasn't giving my best

today, I grieve
tomorrow, a new day comes

3 music groups and 2 ttrpg groups might be too much for me LOL

Recently, I've gotten back into ttrpgs, and even GMing. I've even started building a world of my own in earnest, and it's got me both excited and nervous. It's also yet another creative thing that I can spend my time on. I might actually have to cut back on music...

played highguard because the internet is suffering mass psychosis about the game

it's alright. Not bad. and the performance issues are exaggerated.

axel is like a calico cat following him around

he really is

Please watch Kino's Journey everyone. The older one if you can.

I'm not sure what's happening, but hang in there, friend

solid 8.5/10, honest answer. You're pretty fuckin cool

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic.

We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.”

And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

I feel like the Nobel peace prize people could have avoided this if they gave their medal to someone who dedicated their life to peace, rather than just "this person is an opposition leader."

true greens are fickle. much less forgiving than green oolongs, yellows, and even young sheng. I've messed up my longjing brew quite a few times! But it gets more intuitive each time. Hopefully I've given you a good starting point :)

the results of the previous steep, watching the color in the gaiwan, and intuition to steep.

It works out pretty well about 70% of the time hahaha. Sometimes it's a little weak, and sometimes too bitter, but that's life
