Also the Supreme Court, whom you also didn’t/don’t/can’t vote for, can rule on whatever they want and all you can (legally) do is watch.

I honestly didn’t even know esport were on twitch haha. I do like watching League for some reason eventhough I’ve never played and don’t know how. I’ve only watches the tournaments and finals though

Some things aren’t deep and that’s okay. I like watching street food being made but only if they don’t talk to me, no clue why but it holds my attention.

I’ve seen some of Hasans stuff but it was only clips on YouTube, I haven’t watched his stream yet. He’s enjoyable and bearable

They don’t do DVD commentary anymore either 😭. Now the kids watch cinosins or therapist reacts or whatever they’re watching

That’s a good point, they dont really do demos anymore so the biggest way to see a playthrough is twitch

I miss playing video games locally. Now we all have to buy a copy and play in different places. I loves the split screen and taking turns

Yeah something about being autistic just makes me hilarious to people. And they say we have no sense of humor

I still don’t get Twitch or watching people play games. It’s just hours of unedited content to me

1. Yes, mostly THC dominant products

2. No, at least not that I know of. I tend to mask and haven’t had a sore throat in 4 years unless it was due to mouth breathing and it resolved same day. Haven’t had a headache that wasn’t a migraine or dehydration or lasted multiple days. Haven’t had a persistent cough for longer than a few days- i think this comes from smoking though. Had a fever in 2020(last one) and waa tested at the time and came back negative but who knows if it could have been false negative.

Side note, I read one study mid 2020 that said weed could prevent infection so I’ve smoked everytime I got home from crowded events. I also still masked and showered and changed clothes too. I think it’s a placebo but still no known infection

I’m in tech[derogatory] and the market now is still pretty bad for new entrant. I have friends with longer resumes than myself who are still looking after previous layoffs.

If you’re good with people and leading, project/product managers can make as much as developers without needed to learn to code. It’s stressful in It’s own way of having to manage people’s work and the success of projects but also not limited to tech so can be transferable. You could probably study for the PMP or scrum master certs to pad the resumes up and skip college

Hearing from some of my other high paid coworkers talk about social issues reminds me that I’m nothing like them. I think for me, I just happen to have a high paying job and the pursuit of infinite wealth does not interest me. I’d only want more funds to fund mutual aid and things that grow communism.

What’s going on with Europeans

Good system. I’m very very slowly reading the manga. Are you doing the whole show or one pace ?

I haven’t seen soul eater myself but from a sci fi standpoint, I reccomend picking up mob psycho if you get a chance and haven’t already :)

‘Oshi no ko’ and ‘how do we relationship’ have been keeping me going. Highly recommend ‘how do we relationship’ at least, it’s a queer drama but the way the mangaka writes characters is so beautiful. They’re imperfect, multidimensional, and easy to relate to and sympathize with.

I half thought about doing contract work or taking multiple lower paying roles, but that’s so risky and it feels sleey taking multiple jobs when others don’t have one. I’ll take the link, it’s good to keep options open since at my current place the ‘if’ I starting to feel like ‘when’.

You rock for setting up the bookclub. I’ve also felt guilt not participating as frequently but your work is appreciated

Work is driving me mad. I want to quit but have nothing to fall back on and the tech market is ass and the genocide is demotivating me from wanting to do anything. But that’s been in the back of my head for months so I’m learning to manage and revolutionary optimism/organizing is keeping me afloat. It’s just this damn job in the way.

My ongoing manga series keep me afloat too 🥳 something to regularly look forward to.

Remember folks. Beating Nazis always works.

The day corporate culture dies, is the day I’ll finally be free.
