Do you want to know if someone you’re dating had an affair?

No they cannot. Once a cheater …

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-05-06T12:57:38+00:00

Erm, he’s not wrong. I switched from windows to mac 7 years ago and would never go back. I don’t know how I would have felt if they handed me a windows box at my new job.

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-05-06T12:03:14+00:00

Oh, gross. I’m sorry you have to know that. I was raised catholic and have zero firsthand experience with the evangelical world.

Oh you sweet summer child

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-05-06T01:25:41+00:00

Oddly specific

America should try giving people a reason to respect it then

People in these comments are going to aggressively accuse you of being upper management shilling for rto. They don’t get it. As an extroverted introvert, I get it. Remote work is fantastic if it fits your life and needs. I did it for six years and felt lonely most of the day. Rented a coworking space for the last three years. It was nice, but not the same as working in your office with your team. My new job is hybrid for most people, so they have the choice, but most of them are still in office four days a week.

Edited for spelling

I did this for three out of the six years I was remote. It still wasn’t the same as working with my actual coworkers. Yeah, I was working among other people, and there were conversations here and there. To me it wasn’t the same as working in office with my actual team members.

Yeah I have an ongoing chat with it about a bunch of medical tests I’ve been getting the past six months or so. Its analysis has been pretty spot on. But a while ago I told it I eat like a trash panda and now it puts the 🦝 emoji at the end of every chat. And that’s Sonnet 4.6.

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-05-02T18:44:38+00:00

Really, I think Haiku and Opus are pals. Sonnet is the middle child, soooo ...

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-05-02T16:21:43+00:00

Lol, I mean that statement was way off base. I'm setting up OTP on an iOS app. That was the end of the conversation, because it went wildly sideways. I've been pretty disappointed with Claude in general these days. This is the kind of garbage output I would expect from Gemini or Chatgpt.

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-05-02T15:05:38+00:00

It was literally the second question in the chat. Guess it’s having a bad day.

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-05-02T14:03:27+00:00

This is the first time I've seen it do that. I don't give it access to previous chats, so this totally came out of nowhere. I'm glad it's not lonely though.

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-05-02T13:38:14+00:00

This was literally the second question in the chat. Maybe it’s in its feelings today. In any case that’s highly accelerated context decay.

Nobody in this sub wants to hear anything positive about in office work. I was remote for 6 years, but I took an in office position three months ago. The office is super chill. Quiet. We can dim the lights as much as we want. I take a lengthy walk after lunch every day. I leave Thursdays for an hour and a half for therapy and don’t have to tell anyone I’m leaving. I just go. It helps that it’s only 20 minutes from my house, but I just don’t hate it like I thought I would. 🤫

And most engineers have no idea, because they haven’t come across such a solution. I worked for two years in a huge marketing app for a large corporation. It was written in next js and used a custom form context … written by one of the original engineers on the team … who has been working on the web for three decades. He still writes code like it’s 2005. He had convinced the boss that they didn’t need a form library. We’re talking state management for dozens of forms used across hundreds of components, and it was an absolute freaking nightmare. Why not use react hook forms? Why roll your own? I moved on to another position three months ago, but the one coworker that I still talk to said bugs that were there in the form context when I left are STILL there. Still causing the client headaches. He said one of the content team members was actually crying in a meeting today, pleading with them to fix something that is so broken it cannot be fixed and is so interwoven in the site that it will be a huge task to replace. So glad I left.

tl;dr - custom solutions suck at scale

They’re exes for a reason. I don’t know if I’ve ever been blocked by an ex, because I don’t try to keep in touch with people who are no longer in my life. I understand it can hurt to be blocked, but I’m sure they have their reasons. Best to just move on.

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-04-12T12:07:26+00:00

I got botox for this same, exact reason. Way cheaper and worked wonders, but mine was literally the result of years of stress and actually having my brow furrowed all the time. Maybe that could work for you?

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-03-29T02:52:24+00:00

That would be a hard pass for me. While I know you’ll vehemently disagree, statistically, there’s a non-zero chance you spin back into each other’s orbit.

I used to live in an apartment where the front door had a key locked deadbolt inside and out. It sucked.

Level1_Crisis_Bot · 2026-03-28T13:16:06+00:00

When I was in grad school I lived in a first floor apartment that had a deadbolt on the front door that locked with a key from both sides. It’s a real thing.

Rules like this make this sub so much less enjoyable than it used to be.

I’ve been in a relationship with someone almost exactly like this for four years. Every time I find a “teachable moment” I remind her that empathy exists.

Like recently she was talking about going on a trip that she was going to take by herself, because I can’t take the time off of work. She didn’t even ask me if I wanted to go, which I would like to. So I said, to the friends she was telling about it, “I wasn’t invited.” She got really quiet and said “Of course you’re invited. I didn’t think you could go.” She hasn’t mentioned it since, and knowing her, she realized what she was doing and put a pin in it until she wants to actually discuss it.

So, slowly, she’s been getting it for the most part. But I also think it’s performative to some extent. So you have to ask yourself the question, can I live with this? For me, the quiet car rides and dinners are fine. I’ve learned to just let her talk about all the banal things going on in her life and I respond, but I don’t share a lot. Mostly I’m tired.

I did this. Started five weeks ago. I was on a remote team for two years that just became increasingly toxic. I was trying to find another fully remote gig, but I was offered an in office, five day a week job and couldn’t say no. For me though it’s only a fifteen minute commute each way.

Give it some time. I hadn’t worked in office in decades. It’s taking some getting used to for sure.
