  • What is the purpose of your life?

    Jump

  • The purpose(s) that drive me are:

    • share helpful knowledge and experience where they're welcome
    • sow beauty and light where I can
    • hopefully bring levity, a chuckle, and maybe a way out when things are dark
    • build strong communities wherever I can
    • elevate those around me and hopefully improve their day
    • strive to leave my spheres of influence better than I found them
    • find the positive or at least an opportunity for me to learn
    • enjoy the trip

  • Some people get their validation from sex. They might not even like the sex. In fact they probably don’t enjoy it but they do like that bit of validation.

    It took me a few decades to get perspective, but then I encountered people with commitment issues, some of the more chaotic attachment style variants, and various traumas. "Ah, now I understand. You do you and be safe out there, neighbor."

  • Oh, gawd, it's a special kind of hell. My partner and I were ENM when we met, but mutually decided we preferred monogamy (long story). Over the past summer, we decided to dip our toes back into having sidepieces. And our tolerance for modern dating bullshit lasted all of three weeks.

    We're not monogamous because of societal norms; we're monogamous because of zero tolerance for the state of dating. 😆

  • 🤣 I swear, my double-entendre was completely unintentional. Thank you Internet stranger for the solid laugh!

  • For most of my life, I failed to understand hookup culture and ONS. "Damn, I met someone appealing enough that I would like to have sex with them! You know what would make this better? Never seeing them again!" You discovered a Fountain of Sex! Why abandon that now that it's flowing?!

  • Bats beware

  • Wait til you see bats getting eaten by centipedes!

  • People who have moved away from your home town/area, what do you miss most?

    Jump

  • Pizza, bagels, knishes, Jewish delis, and whitefish salad.

  • Ideas for very simple improvements to instant noodles?

    Jump

  • Sliced bok choy, julienned ham, julienned carrots, baby spinach, slices of pancetta... If you're willing to pre-funk some ingredients up to a few days in advance, you can have more tasty additions such as marinated hardboiled eggs, lap cheong (shelf-stable until you open the package), chashu, crispy pork belly, Chinese or Japanese brisket curry.

  • HJF. That guest list... That wasn't a black tie dinner. That was an assembly of overlords meeting with the kings of their respective kingdoms. Those are the people one would assemble if feudalism is the goal.

  • I think I'm suddenly very allergic to my cat maybe? What gives????

    Jump

  • The toxicity is in the dose. If you're actually allergic to your cat, it could be a seasonal change in his grooming regimen resulting in more saliva on his fur, which means more allergen proteins in the dander.

    Another possibility: seasonal change has resulted in something blooming to which you're mildly allergic. The combination of things might have tipped you over the edge of allergic response.

    There are a ton of factors that could be in play, and only an allergist can tell you for sure what's going on.

  • I feel seen and understood. And I'm not white.

    Although, I'm currently in the Tennessee/North Carolina cold snap panic. People are all bundled up, and I am genuinely comfortable in my shorts and sandals. About 5 less degrees or 10 MPH more wind, and I'd put on shoes.

    Jump

  • Tacos, burritos... it's all good.

    I agree with your point, however I should conduct some empirical testing. Side-by-side, of course. Just to be sure.

    What makes a horror movie good to you?

    Jump

  • Horror movies, at their core, are about subverting expectations. You cite "Suspiria" and "Midsommar" as favorite movies. The second and third acts of both movies are a massive subversion of audience expectations. And the best horror movies can most jarringly break what viewers anticipate, all without using jump scares.

  • I'm a cyber major, but what should I minor in?

    Jump

  • Technical writing and/or communications. I got my minor in TechComm, and it has been my sharp end into every job. "You can communicate effectively across a wide range of media for a wide range of use cases?! Hired!"

    Public presentation, meetings, project management, interpersonal dynamics, documentation, elucidating articles, proposals, DevRel, requirements gathering, specifications, business analyses, enrichment of peers' skills... All dependent on tech writing and tech comm skills.

    TW also makes a decent fallback if (when) you burn out. Hypothetically, let's say you burn out at the 15 year mark. You'll have solid, senior- or principal-level skills and experience in your field which allows you to effectively liaise with professionals in your field. You could switch temporarily to a TW role, move into project or product management, or take over the docs backlog. And there is always a docs backlog.

    Since you brought up IT: networks and hardware are always going to require hands-on personnel. It's a solid career choice; just be ready for the continuous learning curve (like most things computing).
