And here also is the nod to “toxic positivity”—things that are supposedly said and done to encourage you but are actually nasty little barbs in disguise. They’re usually designed to play on your guilt or insecurities, with a veiled suggestion that if you don’t act in a certain way then you only have yourself to blame for the bad stuff. Eg. when:“You can always leave…” becomes “Why didn’t you just leave?” Don’t fall for it.

Prime Video has such weird vibes. If it was a person it would smell exactly like Lynx Africa body spray, Lambert & Butler cigarettes and a particular kind of dorm room bedsheets that haven’t seen the inside of a washing machine in 6 months.

Just curious, if you’re Covid masking regularly in public, how often do you get shit from other fucknuts, I mean, other people for it?

Ah the eternal conundrum of, “do I really need a faster, better work machine, or do I just want another Shiny?”

@helgztech the one I have is slooooow and I am impatient. But maybe I should learn patience and save cash?

@helgztech unfortunately, I didn’t think ahead very well when I bought this one (ASUS laptop) and I think it’s about as efficient as it’s going to get. I could potentially wipe it and start again to see if that helps, but that process can be painful 😂

@helgztech Also annoyingly, I have a MacBook that is amazing and does everything I need for personal work, but for dayjob I need to use Microsoft, and even using Word for Mac has caused issues between clients and colleagues. I can upgrade and expense it, but it’s a PITA.

@helgztech Yeah, lots of formatting / styles weirdness and track changes not working correctly. We use templates for the documents we do and Word for Mac wouldn’t save things in a way that honoured the styles, so opening it in MS Word made it look like a mess. Personally, I don’t think using Word for what we do is the right tool anyway, but try telling that to management 😂

@lightweight @helgztech oh, we have, and it’s been noted, but it’s also complicated. While the system we use *basically* works, there is literally no spare time or energy to change it. So we limp along and swear a lot and the job gets done it’s just not as efficient as it could be.

@lightweight @helgztech I’m in full agreement with you, but unfortunately I don’t have the clout to sway the management. ☹️

@helgztech @lightweight my brain is betraying me and I can’t remember the phrase for time spent doing a job the way it’s always been done versus time spent making the necessary changes to do the job more efficiently, but mostly I feel like businesses don’t want to do the latter as it’s just too hard / costly. It’s why collectively we haven’t fixed issues that cause climate change, right? 😬

Please, I beg of you, stop buying things that require a “subscription” to rent them. Just say no, kids. Also, FYI, if buying isn’t owning then pirating isn’t stealing. 🤷

Hey y’all, if you’re a Transformers fan you might be interested in this sneak peek of a project my eldest kid has been working on for the past couple of months. Behold, a self-designed and 3D printed Soundwave that actually transforms and plays cassettes!(In front is his starter project from 2 years ago of a transforming and playable Laserbeak cassette tape) Follow https://youtube.com/@nectarmechanics for more info and upcoming video. #Transformers #Soundwave #3DPrint #Makers #creatives #Prusa
