I’ll write something here later probably. In the meantime, hi to whoever’s reading this I hope you get a chance to enjoy something kind today :)

  • IT workers, which certs would you get that are quick to obtain in the help desk and general office IT expertise?

    Jump

  • In addition to what other commenters have said, A+ is easy enough to get, mostly focused on hardware and troubleshooting and if you’re looking at smaller-medium companies they tend to like that one.

  • He loves a good ear rub

    Jump

  • It’s so much fun when cats actively prefer ear pets (by their nature of course, not medical conditions).

    Kitty ears are so soft and warm and seeing them blissed out by the scritches is magical.

    May you have many more happy ear-scritchie times with your boy 🐱

  • X announces significant restrictions to free accounts; 50 posts and 200 replies per day

    Jump

  • Gotta extract more value from the reduced user base. Think Netflix. Plus, they gotta recoup AI “investment” costs, and the remaining people on Xitter are predominantly mouth breathing rubes.

    Add that to foresight only as far as the next quarter and it’s the most logical recipe for success /s

  • Have you ever experienced dissociation and derealization? If so, what was the experience like?

    Jump

  • Sounds also like Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, since you mention primarily having it during childhood. I had similar experiences but the derealization changed form as I got older.

    ETA: Looks like mono can be a cause of it - I had mono as a tot that lasted a couple years. Maybe you had similar issues?

  • Fight mode is usually ears back, low to the ground, fur on end, tense muscles and accompanied by hissing/bapping. Tail tucked in or fully raised dependent on cat and whether they feel cornered or aggressive.

    Eyes half squinted, ears generally relaxed/lightly twitching with occasional tail swish is chill mode.

  • Existential crises are far older than the AI boom, but I’d agree that capitalist parasites do like to take advantage of isolation and despair for their own gain.

    Part of the “cure” (at least from my experience) is definitely touching grass and remembering that at the end of the day we’re a group of talking monkeys on a rock with a bunch of other living things and this line of thinking goes beyond what our little brains are meant to do. Abstract thought in excess short circuits us in a bad way.

    It’s okay to chill out and dumb down a bit. We don’t owe anyone “meaning,” and enjoying life where you can, however small, is a balm.

  • What do you love about your job and what do you hate about your job.

    Jump

  • I fix computers at a local shop for a living. I like the hours and the work, but hate commuting. Unfortunately there’s no public transit around me so I have to drive :(

    Not a fan of the pay but it’s not terrible either. Definitely more consistent than freelance operations but private clients tend to pay way better so I miss that, lol.

  • What do you like to collect?

    Jump

  • According to my steam library, apparently video games I haven’t played.

    I’m also building up a small collection of manga books, mostly consisting of cat-themed works since I’m not big on romancey stuff or the “big” shonens.

  • My grandma’s, or my gramps on my other side.

    Both to technically elective surgery gone wrong, both in 2020. So it would have been preventable, unlike the heart issue that took my cousin just the year before, or the cancer I lost my nonna to.

    Pretty rough couple years those were. 😞

    Netflix sued by Texas for allegedly spying on children, addicting users

    Jump

  • My thoughts exactly. It’s like the TV equivalent of a gym membership.

  • AI Assistants Are Leaking Your Conversations

    Jump

  • People who refuse to exercise critical thinking skills, which is a terrifying percentage of the population.

  • What video game characters would make terrible group project partners?

    Jump

  • Heimskr

  • You have to invent a new type of candy or dessert, but if it's physically impossible or another commenter can prove it already exists, you lose. What are you making?

  • Existential horror topped with whipped cream.

  • Choose your Tennessee starter

    Jump

  • Can I grab all three and run away, Florida Man style?

  • Been a while since I posted a Sencha

    Jump

  • I call my cats “punky monkey” all the time lmao

    You’re not alone!

  • Which computer-related belief do you hold without any foundation?

    Jump

  • Printers must be treated with intimidation for them to behave, because they smell fear and only respect violent hierarchy.

    I keep a hammer on hand when I need to print something for this reason.

  • YOINK!
