Was on Reddit for 11+ years. Apollo for the last few years. Quit cold turkey in June and honestly my life is better for it.

1. Greta did get a nomination, just not for director.
2. Margot didn't, but America did.
3. Ryan Gosling was the best part of Barbie, partly because of the writing which, again, WAS nominated.
4. This is not "the patriarchy;" it was a really strong year for those two categories.

The price of everything is unsustainable.

“ I could do the least amount of work for the most amount of money and then be home with the kids.” Gary Oldman and I share the same philosophy about work.

You either die a Frodo, or live long enough to become a Gollum.

I’ve worked in the SaaS world for nearly a decade. I’ve never had an issue getting a new job every couple of years. The best path for promotions and salary increases in this world. I was unfortunately part of a layoff back in the summer, and I have never had such a hard time finding work in my life.

Every time I go to apply to a job that’s fairly new, I can see there are already a couple thousand applicants. Suddenly my decade of experience isn’t enough to land an interview, much less a job.

It. Sucks.

Let’s see those train pics, my dude! Let that conductor-freak flag fly here.

Dude. Same. I finally started making a 6 figure salary, and I feel just as broke as I did before. It sucks.

I feel like you should’ve told him that it was specifically due to the return to office policy. That way they could understand the effects of that decision.

I have zero tips for you, but I love this post. Why does his house smell so bad? Has anyone mentioned it to him? So many questions.

TLDR: it’s candy

Not me personally, but my grandpa was transferred out of Pearl Harbor a week before the attack. I often think about how some random person’s decision that many years ago created my entire family line.

Yeah, I used to love thrifting. Could find really awesome stuff for a couple bucks. Now it’s too trendy. They’ve figured out that people were buying it from them dirt cheap and then reselling it in their own “vintage” shop for like 20x the price. Society has even ruined thrifting.

I once had a roommate who was the messiest person alive. I was tired of cleaning up all his crap so I just piled it all in front of his door. When I came home, he had just parted it like the Red Sea and it sat there for weeks.

Severance was one of the best shows to come out in the last few years.

I’m going to be honest here, it doesn’t sound like you even really know what you want. Annoying coworkers are an inevitable part of adult life. I have had a lot of jobs at many different companies, and you just learn how to fake nice and play as little of the office politics that you can. The best thing for you, I think, would be finding a remote job if that’s possible. There are a ton of remote positions now a days and that’s the best way to not have to interact with other people, save for zoom meetings.

“ Summer of '69' is actually about "making love" and not about the year 1969 as many people believed.” Saved you a click.

But if you’re voting republican, you are voting for people who do believe in those things. They are also working to punish them every chance they get.

Silo is fantastic. If you need another great show on Apple TV, watch Severance. It’s the best show I’ve seen in years.

Castro is suing Thomas under VFATA, which allows private citizens anywhere in the country to bring a claim against a Virginia resident for making a knowingly false or fraudulent claim to the commonwealth for money or property, essentially empowering regular Americans to take on the role of a de factor agent of the Virginia attorney general.

Crazy. Why didn’t a democrat do this immediately?
