  • College Degree

    Jump

  • Sorry, I should clarify those were my own choices I was referring to. I’m the one who has a film degree and now works in tech support.

    I meant to be empathizing more than making fun of op.

  • College Degree

    Jump

  • Yes it’s an arts degree, and yes the arts are in dire straits right now, but uhhh I at least feel fulfilled having tried to make the most of my passion— which I recognize doesn’t pay the bills, but made me feel validated and boosted my self-esteem, which I don’t think any job would’ve ever done for me nearly as much.

    …so anyways, how’s that reset going, is your machine back up and running? Great. Thanks for calling tech support have a nice day.

  • Yes, another espresso will fix three days with a lack of sleep

    Jump

  • I really fucking hate how sensitive my body’s become to caffeine as I’ve gotten older; even just one cup of coffee puts me at what feels like the prologue to a panic attack, but without the panic attack (thanks Prozac?).

    So with that and being sober, I am a fish out of water whenever I visit Germany. “So uh, do you have anything that’s non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic, and um, preferably diet? just water? yeah fine, that’s what I thought.”

  • Did anyone's parents have sex around them?

    Jump

  • My parents encouraged destigmatization of nudity (nudist beaches, a shower or two together, etc.), but no they did not have sex around me or my siblings and think that’d be fucked up if someone told me their parents did that to them.

  • Trump fires director of U.S. Copyright Office, sources say

    Jump

  • Even if I went offline, so far I have seen ai slop seeping into:

    • video games (even by big studios like Outlast Trials or COD)
    • smaller merchants at local events or malls
    • commercials (even big companies like Coke, Mazda, and smaller ads)

    I can’t imagine how much worse it’ll get with the flood gates opened.

    I would not want to be a stock photographer or model right now.

  • [ItsMegComics] Those Customers

  • Did you write letters to the editor every time you read Family Circus or Wizard of Id?

  • What Happened To WWW.?

  • THATS THE WORD I DIDNT WANT. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!1!!

  • What Happened To WWW.?

  • Oh thank god that last word was “winking.”

  • I tried to fix that millennial meme.

  • God I wish the satanic panic had real satanists and dark magic behind it. That’d have been soooooo dope.

  • The ring of fire

  • The cat we have now broke skin when he bit the caretaker from the adoption agency. “He feels really bad about it! If you still choose to adopt him, maybe just stay away from his belly!”

    We adopted him. We still go for his belly. No regrets.

  • based

    Jump

  • What’s ironic is you’d probably be arrested going to a real pig farm ever since factory farms lobbied to have those activists banned.

  • Confidence in Trump's handling of the U.S. economy plummets, new polls show

    Jump

  • 37% of us are a cancer to humanity.

  • 'Trump 2028' apparel on sale at the Trump Organization's online store

    Jump

  • Fucking die already you fish-asshole-mouth piece of shit.

  • Trump’s transport officials now begging staff who resigned to stay: ‘It’s a s*** show’

    Jump

  • I’d have a hard time returning/might stay away out of spite/principal.

  • 'I'm in ruins,' teary Mike Lindell tells judge in Smartmatic sanctions hearing

    Jump

  • Pure witchcraft!

    Jump

  • My cats wake me up, does that count?

  • Makes me feel happy

    Jump

  • Sometimes I wonder if that “old people smell” I remember as a kid was a disease they had. I mean they trained dogs to sniff cancer, maybe my spectrum was wider and has since narrowed?

  • Yeah I felt the same way when I saw it. Just kinda sobering, really. I’m learning Unreal Engine right now for work but I kinda wanna make an experience of a VR “game” for myself where you’re just on a slowly-rotating rock in the void of space, like a stranded astronaut.
