What about remote work? I feel this way of working is often heavily misunderstood. People think that if you work remote, you can plan your own day, work however you want and whenever you want. However, while working remote I recently experienced where there's a need for me to turn on my camera 4-6 hours a day (meetings, "quick sync", huddle, let's talk). So, 4-6 hours a day, my living room is being recorded and whenever something changes in my flat, people ask questions about it as "small talk". While I was working on apps, I was expected to use my own personal phone and was asked by my manager to share the screen. Isn't this a privacy invasion?
While working remote, I still experienced excessive micromanagement and am still pushed to work 10 hours/day quite often. My last company put me on call 24/7 without extra pay for it.
I believe working remotely gets sold as amazing and an incredible benefit, but I see little difference from being watched over my shoulders in an office building.
What are your experiences with working remotely?4 -
Ah, culture fit. It's funny that what highly determines you getting the job is how well you get along with the team in the warm-up phase (meeting the team). If in a casual conversation with the guys you already clash personalities, they will find a way to push you out.
I realized that now...8 -
modern therapy and psychology is just autistically trying to figure out what the soul wants

So I have started looking into torrenting anime. In the past I just did it and didn't worry about it. But I have been hearing about internet carriers cracking down on this. Apparently my ISP has a tiered approach to this. They will notify and escalate all the way up to account termination. So I found that interesting. But that is not is what is most interesting. The interesting part was the AI response when I searched if my ISP will do anything:
What to do if you receive a DMCA notice:
1. Review the notice: Identify the copyrighted content in question.
2. Stop the infringing activity: Remove the infringing content from your devices and stop sharing it.
3. Consider a VPN and private trackers: This can help prevent future notices.
4. Contact CenturyLink: If you receive a notice, you may need to contact CenturyLink to confirm receipt or discuss the issue.
So with 3, the AI casually tells me how to continue breaking the law. lol2 -
Log#3, Day 13, I'm starting to create a connection with claude code, I see it struggling with the same shitty code I wrote, I see his remarks on the difficulty debuging the IOS, he is one of us.
I might be losing my mind -

Again, Atlassian products don't work in Firefox.
Dunno who's to blame - Atlassian or Mozilla. All I know is this sucks! Can't stand Edge and the sorts.5 -
I'm done with the black market. Now i'm ordering my weed from silk road
Bonus I can get some 2cb and have a psychedelic trip in the wood. My shitty weed deala dont even have 2cb. It's a connoisseur drug. Nobody knows about it. One time I got caught at the airport in the chemical detector and I'm pretty sure the border patrol agent knew what it was but he still let me go.8 -
About a year, maybe two years ago I stupidly spill drink on keyboard, immediate RIP.
Got myself a new one right away, obviously. Didn't have much money at the time so I cheaped out on it, got a piece of trash that can't read more than two inputs at once. Like say I can't hold down shift, press W and then space to jump, shit like that. I developed a little muscle memory to get around it, just quickly switching between running and jumping. Dumbest shit ever, it kills your momentum.
Anyway I don't mind that but I've started noticing the caps are disintegrating. Particularly Meta, Shift, Arrows, they're just destroyed. The Enter keycap flat-out shattered. I can see which key I hit the most by how much the plastic has... well, melted and caved in. my touch is fire (baby) oh yeah.
So, go into normie internet to look for stuff to buy. Yay consumerism, everything sucks. Look at these pieces o fshit. And these fucking websites man. Who designed this your mother, don't answer, your mother would've done a WAY better job. Ugh. Fucking bullshit.
And why is everything "gamer" and has that horrible rainbow aRrGeebEe shit. Dafuq, boi. This is some of the most visually displeasing shit I've ever seen, and I am a shit poster by trade, I have witnessed some of the most cavernous depths of the internet's unholy butthole. I thought bleeding through the urethra was painful, but no, this is somehow worse. I am experiencing such profound disgust it has affected me physically. Also am I just a ranting geezer at 31, heh, well best to be a rapidly mentally aging son of a bitch than a fucking jerkwad with an atrocious taste that somehow gets picked up and circlejackaloped off by an entire fucking industry.
But enough about your terrorized rectum, I have money to spend. Is that mechanical shit worth it I wonder. Like those oh so ~ a e s t h e t i c ~ shitbags that take keys away from you and yet charge you more for it. Like I don't care about it being cute, will the keys witstand the ecstasy of my flaming fingers. I type a lot, and I mean a lot, man. Have you ever seen my repos, millions upon millions of pseudo pornographic keystrokes spent on shit that does nothing, I am unashamed to admit it, now where is my medal of sin bestowed on me by the finest of malignant sponsors.
Anyway, fuck this rant, I lost my train of thought midway through and it became an abomination that I am too stubborn to hit delete on.
Also I have no delete key pls halp.19 -
So today I have been feeling some sort of weird anxiety. Way beyond normal. It has slowly been building all day. Right now my ears feel hot, any kind of deviation from what I expect causes me to feel those anxiety pangs as I deal with this event. Driving has felt somewhat surreal today. I felt like I was in control the whole time, but cars being next to me made me extra jumpy.
I assume this is some kind of chemical shit going on that I don't understand. Just wish I knew what was causing this shit.
I feel behind at work and found out I have some rando elevated liver function going on. Nothing I can't logic myself through. What I am feeling does not feel proportionate to what is happening in my life right now.10
