I‘m thinking of ditching my very safe and very well paid office job with the option to work from home for a job in the field where I drive around and inspect buildings. Taxes included I’d get a 300€ paycut but would gain the ability to get paid for overtime, which I do not have at the moment. Also, due to austerity measures I have no chance of ever getting into a higher position at my current job.

I don’t know maybe I just want the validation of something I’ll do anyway, maybe I want to get shown what makes my current job better than the might-be one.

I am changing the way I use my phone. Today I sat in front of the computer and wanted to do something cool on the internet, like in the time before insta/fb/reddit/lemmy doomscrolling. I couldn’t think of any website and took a bath instead, thinking of all the older websites where you had a chatwindow, forums and such.

They’re all gone by now, aren’t they?

Btw I’m vegan.

I use arch btw.

Only cooking with my cast iron skillet.

It’s driving me crazy. Partner on phone, playing videos and games while the TV is running some YouTube reaction stuff.

I wear noise cancelling headphones all day at home because it’s just too much. The volume is so high I can hear it through a closed door. My PC is in the same room as the TV and I can’t even concentrate on a tutorial on how to do some editing stuff.

Partner is also suffering from depression so every freaking time I begged to please turn the tv off, it’s just ended in a 30 minute therapy session at home on how I can improve myself.

Anyone in a similar situation?

You highlight something in Edge and release your finger from the button? New menu. Now you can copy it directly! Great! No need for right clicking every time, right? No! It only works in Edge! You want to copy from Outlook? Nothing! You highlight in Word or Excel? You can change the font of the selected text! No copy option!

You expect it to work a certain way and then it just doesn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I love right clicking, but expecting not having to and then still needing to click it is just… inconsistently inconvenient

This might be a bit of a bad question, but I don’t know where to ask to get the least biased responses.

So, I have about $1.000 in Bitcoin that used to be $300 (I’ve put in about $1.500 in various shitcoins before getting those BTC)

I fly drones as a hobby and I was thinking of getting a new system for that amount of money.

so far I’ve ditched the ketogenic diet to not show my lifestyle change to anyone. I am still counting calories and macros. I skip the gym only on days where my girl is at home as to not raise any suspicion. On days where I am at the gym I get at around 19002100 kcal, on days without I’m staying at 16001800 kcal - so far I lose about 100g a day/ 1.5 lbs a week. I’m down 4.6 kg (10 lbs) since I started on December 27. The belt hole puncher is useful. I’m down 2 holes on the belt, 1 of them I needed to punch myself.

I’m planning on going public with weight loss in march, starting keto and the gym officially.

This just makes me angry. You need to write comments and get likes before you’re able to make posts. Most of the posts in that community could pass as boomer-Facebook-posts from what I’ve seen. The quality definitely went more downhill than Tony Hawk‘s Downhill Jam.

But I’ll post my question here: what’s your pre-apocalypse game gems?
