Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

    This makes me chuckle, as they invented euphemisms like 'hallucinations' because their LLM models can't do what they promise. Fabulous marketing, but clearly they didn't do enough testing.

  • What thing at work made you rage quit your job?

  • Also, just adding this here, but if you work in a team and have the means you should always keep records of your own productivity and quality.

  • Less of a rage-quit and more of a rage-promotion. (it'll make sense, just keep reading.)

    I am someone who keeps track of what I do, my productivity, and how much output I'm generating in my work. A company I used to work for decided they wanted to do back-door layoffs by handing out phony write-ups and putting people on performance improvement plans, and they targeted me.

    Essentially, I went into a meeting with my boss thinking I was going to get promoted or at least an attaboy, because I knew I was the highest performer on the team.

    Nope. It was a writeup. I told them straight up that I was doing more work than anyone on the team, I could prove it, and I wasn't signing. I fought the PIP with HR too, and the delicious thing was my bosses knew they fucked up, because I breezed right through it.

    Ended up interviewing for an internal req that put me in a senior position on another team, and what galled me the most was the insistence of my boss on a going-away lunch, and I hated every second of it. I was gracious on my way out because I didn't want to burn bridges, but I honestly hope that person is rotting in Hell now, and am very pleased that that company got bought out and sold for parts, so hopefully they all got fired too.

  • Given the ability, I'd get rid of the Internet completely.

    What did you expect would get cut when Donald told you he was going to take a saw to our government?

  • It also expects that people are content to actually fix things, or sew tears in clothing, or whatever, and that often requires a little research and initiative in a world where it's been made abundantly cheap and convenient to just replace almost everything.

    I don't think it's necessarily ignorance so much as a combination of laziness and incredible convenience.

    A few years ago I taught myself to fix my laptop screen via Youtube and saved myself a $400 repair, but most people would just chuck it and buy a new one.

  • Leave it to the Donald Administration not to recognize basic laws of physics and, maybe, the necessity to make logistical changes.

    Hopefully the next headline is about how an ICE vehicle slid off a cliff.

  • “This is what I voted for?”: Trump supporter loses farm and income to tariffs, only to be mocked online

    Jump

  • On the topic of tariffs, voters were outright lied to, so I won't criticize people for believing it. I'd be surprised if most people graduating high school now even know what a tariff is, much less how they work.

    Bummer for us even more that the worst hasn't yet come on tariffs, and only because it takes so long for new trade agreements to take effect. In the next year or two Europe and China will have rerouted their trade around the US rather than through it.

  • What cheap-ish bulk items would you buy for yourself and your home before an economic depression?

  • Hate to say it but I have a bunch in my pantry. I don't expect Donald to do anything about grocery prices nor the Democrats if they take Congress. Inflation will run rampant until the next economic crash.
