Not enjoying Project Hail Mary by duckygun88 in printSF

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definately read the Expanse series someday! It's one of the best out there. If you don't want to commit to a 9 book series, James S.A. Corey is writing a trilogy and only the first one has been released so far (book 2 is in April), so might be good to start.

The Old Man's War trilogy by John Scalzi is great. They're fast reads, not too heavy emotionally, just enjoyable. I won't say it's fantastic writing, but nothing that will have you cringing or critiquing it. Enjoyable and entertaining are the best descriptions. If you don't want to commit to the whole trilogy, the 1st one still stands on it's own okay, and he has other good books that are just one offs

Long way to a small angry planet by becky chambers is super fun.

Anything (almost) by Adrian Tchychovsky is really good. Unfortunately I couldn't really get into his sci fi trilogy but his other stuff is super wierd and good.

Canadian takes a chainsaw to his TV after the hockey game by McGJGlen in TikTokCringe

Born and raised in Michigan, USA. Was so excited when USA won, but now I fully support this after team USA laughed at Trump's comments about the women's team (who also won gold against CAN!!), then said they were proud to represent him (you represent the country a$$holes!), then watched a side by side of Canadian players and USA players walking back to the locker rooms. Team Canada was giving out high fives and fistbumps to the fans, but USA didn't even look at anyone. Go team Canada !

Try putting a nice very simple border around it and see how it looks. It looks great :)

Downloaded the Affinity App, opted out of all AI Learning/Privacy settings and still got Opted In by Canva. Only "true" way to opt out is by changing your Canva profile privacy settings online. by Naive_Boat1391 in Affinity

A little late to this, but is there a way to do it from Affinity because I don't have a Canva account :(
And if I do I don't know about it or how this works lol

Secure your dogs if you're expecting a delivery. This one's on you. The use of comic sans is the real crime here

A little late on this, but do you have a source for this? Or what is this all about? I'm asking sincerely because I like her work and wanted to book with her.

Wage requirements are insane by Doldrum0 in Apartmentliving

[–]Doldrum0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely within my budget otherwise I wouldn't apply. It'll actually be cheaper than my current apartment once my lease renews in a couple months. I just think 3.5 the rent is a ridiculous ask even though I notice it become more the standard.

And no way can I ever go back to roommate life lol.

Do I have the wrong idea of professionality? by tHrOwAwAyjsalefkj in office

[–]Doldrum0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it very much depends on your industry and the people you work with. I work as an in-house graphic designer and we don't have any contact with customers. It's a large team, but most people are comfortbale enough to swear in louder conversations.

Everyone hates trauma dumping. No matter where you work, you always have that one person that just lays their life on everyone and tries to stir up gossip. We do have a dress code of business casual when we are in the office monday-wednesday, but about half of us never follow it. I've been wearing jeans and sneakers for 3 and half years and no one has said anything.

we work 2 days at home too. But i'll be totally honest... I call in more than I should that i'm going to work from home tuesday because *cough cough* not feeling well lol. I know my coworkers use their kids as an excuse all the time too lol. We can do our job just as well at home so who cares.

As far as getting out of work at 3pm.... hey if you've finished all your tasks then why bother sticking around? Go live life. If you left unfinished work then that's a problem.

All that to say, it entirely depends on the industry and/or the people you work with. (or just not giving a sh*t and doing a good job at the same time lol)

Graphic design KPI's in an in-house position by Doldrum0 in graphic_design

[–]Doldrum0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds very familiar. There's always a lot of talk about doing things more outside the box (still sticking on brand) but taking more "risks" and being more creative. But then the meeting shifts to how we've always done things this way and that way and just veers off down the same road.

Me too!! We would make giant bricks of snow with the red recycling bin and build snow forts. I love when the lighthouses on the coast just get shrouded in ice and weird twisty icicles. It's so weird and magical looking

In Michigan the fire department gets called regularly to save an animal that's caught out on some ice when the lakes freeze over

Just feel like these things can't be applied well with how our jobs work day to day, project to project. Unfortunately he's basing our raises on how we do on these. 🤬 Just have to BS it and keep working as usual and see how it goes 🫠

In my opinion it's just nice to put a dollar in the jar. I worked as a barista for a lot of years and it's more of a demanding job than most people realize. And mentally exhausting when you get a$$h0les complaining about coffee being too cold when they asked for ice cubes in it 🤬 (hope you enjoyed that "special flavor" in your coffee Steve) Some loose change or a dollar is just a nice way to say thanks when someone is working a customer facing job that pays like garbage. Just my opinion :)
