Definitely don't play eve online

In a normal conversation you'd absolutely come across as a massive dick. You don't have "resting bitch font" you just sound absolutely insufferable. You can make your point while not being a dick about it, you just need to choose your words better and not go for the "uh huh, definitely, here's why you're wrong and why I'm right, now piss off"

Sure but if they're trying to send new requests while the others are still retrying, then it will result in the same thing

CA has 1 hour for every 30 hours, though yeah you can only earn 48 per year. It's bullshit

so if you are under 35, honestly, this story isn’t for you

I realize it's supposed to be a joke, but just reminding you not to take this at face value. Friends of mine making 60k a year have afforded a house just fine through my state's first time home buyer's program (guaranteed a loan on your first home at low rates and little down), and I'm likely buying one next year. It's not all doom and gloom.

Libraries have been doing it for ages, this isn't hugely different

I don't think being inflammatory is helping the situation. I've been surprised before, and just because I'm net negative doesn't mean lurkers haven't read it and listened.

To be fair I didn't link it directly in my comment (though I doubt it would've changed the outcome). Thanks for tracking that down for me, though!

I actually love my job as a software engineer! I'd rather do absolutely nothing else, as a boring desk job where I sit around looking busy all day would bore me to hell and I'd very likely make 1/3 what I'm making now. I find exactly zero interest in a "people job" even if it paid more because I wouldn't enjoy it.

So, the reason I do the job I do is because of personal fulfillment and money. Beyond the bare minimum of survival, that's why people do the jobs they do. It's not rocket science

I sleep every-which-way. Some days stock still on my back like the dead, other days on my front sprawled out, and other days on my side. I've got pretty broad shoulders and the purple pillow (the flat one, not the poofy one) and medium-firm mattress combo does wonders for me. On my side I sink just enough into the mattress to lay my head flat, and on my back/front works just the same. Not sure how well it would work for you, and Purple is a bit pricey, but I highly recommend them. Just make sure you try them out at one of their locations, first. The grid is easy to get used to (I got used to it in a few days, and now I never notice it), so try to ignore the texture, just go by overall feel

I got used to the texture pretty quick, and it's well worth it. I even got a purple mattress, which is just as great

I'm definitely not paid by Purple, haha

No that's when it touches the toilet itself, not the water
