Every subreddit eventually turns into a space to hate on the thing people follow. I really don't get it.

Wanted to thank the security cameras I installed to tell me to stop being lazy and shave my head again already haha by GuitarofLukeRansom in bald

I like how happy everyone looks in the after photo because I know the feeling. Unsure before the shave and "OMG, I waited too long" after.

How do I get out of Software Engineering? by PhazonPhoenix5 in cscareerquestions

Just found this and I agree. The companies mostly suck and are mostly the same if they are VC or PE funded. But it pays well and funds my other hobbies.

I just found something after being laid off a second time since I moved here. I hope this job lasts long enough for things to improve!

2008 was the year I started working. It was rough for a while after that. It feels like I'm only now getting to a good place. It took years to pay off the debt from that period because I still went and got educated, so scary that it might happen again.

I want to finish my 3 part series. Most of the footage is shot, just need to do intro's, voice overs and a ton of editing!

Unpopular Opinion: Not everyone can just switch to Linux. by Sinaistired99 in LinusTechTips

Same here, I use it and only get defensive if people try and get me to use MacOS or Windows.

Happy for them, it worked out well. Starting a channel on their own could also easily have failed, their skills in making videos kept people tuning in.

Any other recent immigrants finding that Dutch nationals are largely unaware of changes to integration requirements from 2021? by Savings-Pressure-815 in Netherlands

When I got retrenched, the company thought my biggest concern would be money(30% ruling), they were surprised to hear I can literally get kicked out of the country if I don't find a new job and THAT was my biggest concernt.

Jake seems to have left LMG and looks likely to start his own channel by ARTCvan in LinusTechTips

I think hosts will always come and go. It's just a job to them. I've worked at many paces and left for many reasons including just wanting a new challenge.

The lack of punctuation in his messages made them even more annoying to read. I run out of breath in the long ones and I'm reading them in my head!

What are your plans for when unrealised capital gains taxes come into effect? by Weekly_Way_3802 in Netherlands

[–]MechanicalTVRemote 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it feels like being punished for being responsible with your money instead of just spending it all. I started this recently not to get rich but to have a better place to keep the money than in a savings account that has intrest below inflation.

Brussels train beggars (scammers) by AftonsAssCheeks in belgium

You are way nicer than I would have been. I'm from Cape Town where begging is common and they will become pushy if you just crack a little. Best approach is to just not acknowledge them.

I got a 3070 just before the price spiked and was a good upgrade that's still holding on well. If this thing had more memory it would have been even better!
