I don’t have any advice or help for you because I’m in a somewhat similar situation as you. I was also a good student (not quite straight A, but close enough) and thought my education would also give me some form of agency over my life. That, of course, turned out to be completely untrue due to various factors outside my control. I also thought moving out of my small town would give me a fresh start and allow me to finally live a normal life… which never really happened either.

All I can say is I’m sorry this is happening to you, comrade. If you need to talk or vent, my DMs are open

Who is buying this? Why?

They’re running out of diapers and getting scared.

But in all seriousness, that’s disgusting and infuriating and I hope you and everyone you know are safe

I am an opportunist. If the pro-Skubs look like they’re winning, I too shall be pro-Skub. However, if the anti-Skubs are victorious, then I’ve always been anti-Skub.

Right now I’m taking a break to see if it’ll help, but I highly doubt I’ll want to go back after it’s over. It feels like something got lifted off my shoulders too. Thanks for sharing, comrade - I’m glad the uncertainty didn’t last and it gives me hope that mine won’t, either.

Bro, just say you’re a certified paedophile and go - no need for the thought experiments

Thanks, that means a lot

Hope it goes well for you! Sucks that it pays so little, but it definitely sounds more (spiritually/morally?) rewarding than what you were doing before. I’m not great with kids so it’s not gonna work out for me

Now, if only I could find some work like that, that actually contributes to a stronger sense of security like that described by Maslow’s hierarchy.

Same here. I hope you find it too. Though in this capitalist hellscape, there’s a better chance of finding a needle in a haystack

Dipshit had “VOTE RON PAUL” bullshit all over his LinkedIn profile

Why am I not surprised

Soon, will rank for the VERY lucrative keywords of tankie, ppb, and beanis. If anyone has some beanis or beanis-related products they wanna sell, now’s the time

DM’d you

Yep, looking forward to it no longer existing (SEO, not your website)

It really is uniquely soul-damaging. And you’re right - funnily enough, one agency I used to work with encouraged the use of LLMs, and I’ve been seeing some high-ranking articles that read like ChatGPT wrote them. Thanks the encouragement, hopefully I won’t have to stick with it for much longer

Search engine optimisation - basically getting web pages to rank higher on search engines, especially Google

Normally I love 27°C weather, but when it’s humid it often feels hotter and the air feels muggy, which absolutely sucks. Not sure if this helps or if you’ll have access to it, but I grew up in the tropics and my parents used to make chrysanthemum tea and barley water to cool us down and keep us hydrated. Another thing I got from my parents was not to drink water that’s too hot or too cold to avoid your body going into shock. Not sure how scientific that is but it’s “age-old wisdom” I guess…

But other than that, cool showers twice a day (or three times a day, if it’s particularly muggy), and maybe carrying around a portable mini fan if you’re moving around a lot.
