  • I don’t think I understand what you’re talking about. Perhaps some examples would help.

    I do think some people hold themselves to too low of a standard, though. There’s a song I like that has the line "I don’t want you to romanticize falling the fuck apart ". I think some people are just like “well, I ghosted my friend and didn’t do my tasks at work and didn’t feed my cat but life is hard am I right? No other way I could be. Time to go drink alone and watch TV”




  • Guild wars 2 is the only MMO that didn’t bore or annoy me.

    • feels like a real video game. You can jump and dodge and stuff
    • much quality of life stuff is free and baked in. Deposit most stuff to the bank from anywhere, craft from the bank, etc
    • minimal gear grind. The tier you can buy for cheap is good enough. The next tier is a small improvement.
    • generally helpful folks
    • lots of different stuff to do.







  • Bandcamp mostly. They do writeups sometimes like “the best metal from Colorado” or “a deep dive into acid jazz”. They seem to be human written too and not ai slop, at least in the past.

    Also seeing who’s playing with who. If I like band A, and band B is opening for them, well I’ll check out band B. I saw “Year of the Cobra” play with “The Well” and it was a good show, and I bought their album.









  • HR is not likely to side with the worker over the company.

    There’s also a certain kind of “hr energy” that makes my skin crawl. Like if you worked at a company called AB Tech they’d be up front in the meeting going “I SAY A, YOU SAY B! A!” and I’m just like no, please stop, I’m not that excited to make charts for assholes.

    The hr person where I work now seems nice, at least. My old job the main hr person gave me the creeps.
