I got tired of working crappy jobs for >$10/hr, so I went and got a 2 year degree in IT. A few months after graduation, I got a job in my chosen field, and a couple years after that, I landed a position specifically related to my degree. While a college degree isn’t necessary in every job/field, in my case, it’s been the wisest decision and had the most profound impact in my life so far.

It was supposed to be that way on Reddit too, but everyone just treated them like like/dislike buttons instead.

Work on some professional development. Find a class or course to go through (preferably on the company dime) during the downtime. See if your company will pay for or reimburse some additional training.

Give it time. You can also look up videos or discussions online to help process it.

Courses or other training to develop your professional skills, preferably provided or funded by your employer.

Yeah, his more recent videos seem to be more about the spectacle, rather than the education or interesting subject matter.

Yep, this is me. My current narrative got kinda stale lately, so I’ve been letting my mind wander instead, which sometimes keeps me up much longer than I’d like.

You can just block them.

Those sounds pretty good. I love spicy Hawaiian pizza.

No. Every relationship is going to be different.

Careful what you wish for… rabbits have to eat their own shit once in order to get it to the dry pellet stage.

The fewer console exclusives, the better IMO. People should have choices on which platform to play a given game.

I took my dog to a local renaissance fair during one of their dog days, and had a healthy mix of people of all ages asking to pet her. Out of the dozens of people who pet her, only a couple didn’t ask. It’s always a good idea to ask before petting a stranger’s dog.

Who the hell thinks only toddlers should really like cats? I guess the millions of cat owners worldwide are wrong?

Both versions are good, but I’d have to say I prefer the AAF version. It’s probably been a decade or more sine I’ve seen this music video, and I didn’t realize just how many Michael Jackson references are in it.

I used to be kinda into cars, and am friends with other car guys. The draw oftentimes is being exposed to them at a young age via someone they’re close to. As others have stated the reasons for being drawn to them vary greatly. They may appreciate the mechanical nature, the power they can create, the driving experience, the community, travel, the satisfaction from building and/or maintaining your own vehicle, etc.

I used to have a 2015 Camaro, which wasn’t a supercar by any means, but still decently sporty. I forget the trim package, but it had a V6 and 6spd manual, but that was enough for me. It wasn’t until I drove it around a while (the crafty salesperson let me take it home and drive it around over a holiday), but I truly understood the appeal. At least in my car, it felt like sitting in a race cockpit, rather than a regular driver’s seat. It’s not just about fast, either. The way the car handled was much different than other vehicles I had driven. It hugged the road much better and even just taking banked bends and interchanges on highways felt much smoother. The manual transmission also helped with the experience, as it gives you greater control over the speed and acceleration (I know modern automatics are faster, but manual is still more fun). Seeing and hearing a cool car is fun and all, but driving a car meant for performance is an experience in itself. Also, my Camaro had a HUD projected onto the windshield, which 100% sold me on it, lol.

4 days. I felt hungry a few times during the first day, but I was in the middle of something (probably a game lol) and told myself I would eat later. I stopped feeling hungry from the 2nd day onward, so I wanted to see how long I could go. After the 4th day, I decided to eat something before I ran into any issues.

I have a Wells Fargo Active Cash Visa that gives 2% back on all purchases. It’s hard to find more than that without having to jump through hoops or pay an annual fee.

If you have Amazon Prime (yeah, I know), their Prime Visa card gives at least 5% back (in Amazon credit) on Amazon purchases and a few % back at some other places.
