Well I’m from Idaho so it’s going to say I’m a potato no matter what time of day before or after my daily potato intake
I have no idea what that first sentence means (edit: thank you for the fix I understand now)
It takes time to plan leaving the country. A lot of people like me are leaving we just haven’t gotten there yet because of how long it takes getting everything lined up
Of my entire friend and family group I’m the only one who can afford to leave. Moving is not cheap and I think it’s like 1/3 of Americans are paycheck to paycheck
It’s also more than just financially difficult to move countries. Most places require you to have a valued skill set. Many places deny neurodivergent people. This means a lot of the people who need to leave the most can’t land somewhere even if they could afford to flip their life upside down
I’ve never seen such a majestic creature
I code using punch cards hand cutting each hole with a xacto knife
I have so many spiders on the lower floor of the place I’m in now I’ve given up on even bringing them outside. I identify what they are to keep track if we have an uptick in dangerous ones. If it is a particularly gross one it goes in the garage to war it out with the cellar spiders otherwise I just shoo them under furniture so I don’t have to think about it. Damnit I’m turning into my dad…
I’m conflicted because I’m one of those people that LOVES Morrowind. On one hand a remaster could be amazing and bring the game back into the light for new people to experience. On the other hand Bethesda is an embarrassment at this point and I don’t trust them to do Morrowind justice anymore…
Was 3 but I had lower surgery so no more balls to dissociate at 24/7. Now I flip between 6 and 8 depending on if I’m actually containing my emotional disaster
This is why even if I think something is 100% legit, if a place calls me asking for anything I tell them I have to check on it and call back. Then I’ll call their known public number and go through that way. I’ve avoided a couple scam situations like this
I’m a little confused here, I’m not EU/Swedish citizen wouldn’t any of my studies require me to pay? I care about money very little which is part of why I’ve been feeling so soul sucked at my current job. I’ve only been here for money for a bit now and I hate it. In a lot of ways I’d rather just be poor. I was happier when I was working for like 1/5 what I make now but felt excited about what I did
I love games and game making. I’ve been skirting around the industry for over 15 years at this point and haven’t been able to crack in yet. Future Games, or any of the schools I’ve applied to, is an opportunity to be on a visa for nearly the entire trump term and hopefully network enough to land a job after school. So I’m not just paying for education I’m paying for my own safety
The crunch is for real but also the job culture in the US is batshit. My first job out of college I ended up pulling 16 hour days 7 days/week. Everywhere here it is expected you’re going to do more work than you’re paid for or you risk getting fired. Crunch time in Sweden sounds like normal time in the US tbh
I’m hoping to get into a pretty well regarded game dev school in Sweden that is $25k USD for the entire degree. Comparing it with anything similar in the US is mind boggling. Schools here are impossibly expensive
I kinda wish my situation was just a divorce lol, it would be less complicated. I’m poly and about a year ago my polycyle imploded, I found a partner I adore, then my spouse was like I want to marry someone else so we got that ball rolling, my new partner broke up with me, but we still enjoyed each other’s company and our leases were up at the same time so we had a feelings talk and were like fuck it let’s do the queer thing and move in together. Everyone knows I’m wildly in love with them but I don’t make any moves or anything I just sit with it and cherish the friendship best I can, trying not to think about it too hard
The last bit of my marriage was difficult though the lead up to moving away from each other. If you ever want to talk about stuff I just went through all that maybe I can help, or just be an understanding stranger to talk at. Let me know
I’m currently living with someone I love deeply and it doesn’t go both ways 😞
Prison
Depends on the area, the US is big. It’s been a while since I’ve been but some areas of Ohio had tons of them every night. I’ve never seen any in the Pacific northwest though. But even that’s a pretty broad region could be some around here I don’t know about
Mom weekend is when all the sorority moms show up to support their sorority daughters by getting blackout drunk together and hit on 20-something college dudes. Dad weekend is where dads show up for a football game and support each other by not snitching to each other’s wives when they get it on in their campers with college dudettes. At least that’s how it was in the college towns I’ve lived in
Easiest way to pick up cougars is to go to a college town during mom weekend
I already engage in enough protests I assume they’re surveiling me anyway but this is absolutely fucked
Straight up I was told to push a breaking change today because it “didn’t break that much” and “we can put in tickets to fix the issues”. I’m so checked out of this job I just raised my eyebrows and rolled with it. I’ve got a paper trail not my fault lol
