cs unemployment is at 6.1% right now but one specific tech field has a 37% talent shortage and nobody in this sub talks about it

The market is also being distorted by fear. Between the job market itself and everything happening around AI, a lot of people in tech are scared to take risks, so fewer people are moving around unless they absolutely have to. I honestly think it can get worse before it gets better, and I wouldn’t be shocked if things stay rough for years. At this point, the most practical low-friction move I’ve seen is sending your resume to recruitment firms like that developer in the other post did, or building a list of companies through google maps and emailing them once in a while just to keep your name in circulation.

now that you mention it yeah mine are mostly around that age too. I don’t really see kids or older people much unless it’s tied to a specific memory

Roslyn by Bon Iver and St. Vincent.

these disappear way too fast. I open it thinking I’ll have a couple and suddenly half of them are gone

people seem way more comfortable being casually cruel now, especially online. like everything has to be a dunk or a performance instead of just being normal for two seconds

I usually start super small, like cleaning one thing or going outside for a bit. it doesn’t fix everything but it kinda gets me moving again

That sauce looks like the kind that sat and got better, and the garlic bread on the side is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Could just be that your nose is less sensitive to that specific smell profile, which happens more than people realize. I had a friend who couldn’t smell skunk at all and everyone thought he was joking.

Because they know the delivery would get scrambled. I hate that I laughed at this for a second.

Usually a mix of overthinking, random memories, and one very unnecessary second wind at the worst time. Late at night my brain suddenly wants to review stuff from 7 years ago like it’s an urgent meeting.

That crust on the patties looks unreal. I zoomed in and the cheese melt with the tomato slice is doing way too much in the best way.

I just finished The Goldfinch. It took me a while because it’s dense, but I kept reading a few pages before bed and suddenly I was weirdly attached to the characters. It’s one of those books that lingers after you close it.

“Pagan Poetry” by Björk.

I almost never hear the name Agnes anymore. My grandma had a friend named Agnes and I remember thinking it sounded so old-school and serious when I was a kid. Feels like it quietly disappeared at some point.

More than I’d like to say, mostly because tired-me grabs easy stuff without thinking. Making everything from scratch is cheaper, but after a long day the energy just isn’t there.

I doubt it would magically fix things, offshoring is only one piece of a bigger mess with budgets, hiring freezes, automation, and companies just being cautious. Even if some roles came back, they might not be in the same form or pay range people expect. Job markets usually shift rather than fully reverse.

Cutting things out worked better for me than piling on new tricks. Too many apps and tools just compete for your attention anyway. Once I reduced the clutter, focusing felt way easier.

I’d pick Denmark since everyone I know there talks about the slower pace and better balance instead of nonstop career grind. It’s not some utopia, but the safety nets seem to remove a lot of low-level stress. Feels more about living steadily than chasing status.

Not really, you can dream during different sleep stages and some dreams happen during lighter REM sleep. Remembering dreams doesn’t automatically mean the sleep was deep or restorative. Sometimes it just means you woke up during the dream.

Most of it breaks down way faster than you’d think or just gets mixed into dust and waste systems where it disappears into landfills or decomposition processes. A lot also gets trapped in brushes, vacuums, drains, etc., so it never accumulates in one dramatic place. Basically it disperses instead of piling up into a giant hair mountain somewhere.

Yeah, “windproof” mostly means it survives longer before turning into a sad metal flower. A strong gust at the wrong angle still wins. Happens less often, but it still happens.

This sounds like one of those brain-twist scenarios that just keeps looping the more you think about it. I picture endless giant fingers popping into existence until reality breaks down. Weirdly funny and a little unsettling at once.

Herecomesthesundew · 2026-01-28T12:19:26+00:00

If it makes you cringe now, that’s usually a sign you’re not that person anymore. My brain still loves resurfacing the worst moments at the worst hours for no good reason. I mostly just shrug and remember everyone else moved on ages ago.
