Nah that’s the currawong

I get a strong ‘my mate’s company bought too much of this for a project and asked if I wanted it for pennies on the pound so I said yeah, put it fucking everywhere’ vibe

This was great, thanks for posting!

Uh yeah… Some did say things to that effect.

And there are other behaviours that can demonstrate that mindset.

But thank you for mansplaining my lived experience, champ. Couldn’t have navigated that one with my pea sized, woman’s brain.

I go through life making snap judgements of people I hire and don’t at all try to find common ground or empathise with their position, because I love pissing money up the wall and endless recruitment processes. Just floats my boat, you know

Used to work in digital design. By pure happenstance the foundational initial team on a major project was all women and we recognised that wasn’t a good balance in terms of external perception but also in terms of getting different perspectives on design approaches.

We managed to recruit some great blokes, but they were hard to find. So many of the new dudes didn’t work out because it was so obvious how inferior they perceived us women to be. Very few of them had the skills to warrant any level of arrogance, let alone full blown superiority complex.

It was disappointing.

I feel you bro. Writer, here.

In the, admittedly terrible, movie Moonfall (2022) they use his tech and one of the main characters keeps saying things like “God I love Elon”. I guess it was under development in years previous but we long knew that he was a babyish edgelord (see behaviour over the rescue of the Thai soccer team in 2018).

Seems shortsighted to make him such a focus.

What do you mean by poor? As in ‘shit’ or that they’d be cut off from resources/at the mercy of neighbouring trade etc?

-/genuine interest in what you mean, not snark

On mobile

I read half the article (got the gist and yeah it’s very true and very funny) but bowed out because of the infestation of ads on that site.

I hate this internet

Omg I loved this game!!! Such a cathartic thing to do after a shitty day at work.

Mm dunno if you ever read the qanon casualties posts on Reddit. There’s no discussing or reasoning with the people who have fallen prey to believing this shit. And if often leads to financial ruin. Blocking access to those sites is, for many, like taking the car keys away from an elderly parent who will only hurt themselves and others if you don’t intervene.

Great, thanks!

Hey I’m playing this now and really like the idea. I have some questions though:

How do you fight the queen’s 2 weapons (individually? What order)

What order do you fight the jqks you ran away from?

Do you just alternate which stash pile you refill from? Or deplete one then the other?

I can probably just make up my own rules, but I’d love to know what you intended!

Half the emails in my junk inbox are ‘class action settlement’ emails, so it’s definitely an angle they’re trying (presumably with some success)

Thanks for the suggestion but this seems a cumbersome alternative. My work is in the digital space and note taking needs to be there in a fairly rapid and shareable way. I’m seeking an improvement to my onenote use (handy but not handwritten), and my scores of paper notes (handwritten but handy to no one else), plus the ability to handwrite creative pieces and not have to type them up online. Thanks again though!

Thanks for this!

Thanks for this!

How did you know! Cheers mate :)

Great info, thanks! I’m sure I’ll need to pay the ‘I’m that island country down south that all tech companies like to fuck over’ tax…
