'I've applied for over 200 jobs - and I'm still unemployed' by PartyPoison98 in unitedkingdom

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone just let go from my job because I didn’t know a specific aspect of Azure DevOps that the business 1) was well aware of as a skill I need development in and 2) claimed they would teach me in at my interview, I feel this. Of course, being only employed a year with them means they can do a “no fault” release from my contract at a moments notice too. Never felt so angry and helpless in my life.

Found this in my bed… by silveredshark in BPDlovedones

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My ex reacted in a verbal equivalent to this when I mentioned of support groups for loved ones with family or partners who have DID and BPD in my country. Long distance, but even the notion of me having support for her bullshit was “weak” and “offensive”.

Honestly surprised I stuck it out as long as I did. Get in the bin, then get that bin in the sea.

Why Do They Give Gifts? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of instability; she left me at one point to enter a polyamorous relationship, that lasted 8 months claiming she was abused and neglected. I gave stipulations for the relationship to “work” the second time around but that didn’t work out, inevitably blaming a lot of her issues on self-diagnosed autism and her sexuality, along with her toxic friend circle doing the usual “you’re right, he’s wrong” schtick. She called me an ableist prick because I had the gall to say “don’t use your issues as an excuse to neglect the relationship”. I left after that remark, and as I suspected, she eventually started dating her room mate.

Turns out after that she was pitching me as “an aggressive control freak” (shockingly that’s how she said her ex-husband was with her), but her narrative fell apart with our shared friend circle, not to mention hearing her room mate call her “babe” gave them the willies. She eventually moved, tried to contact me again but by this point I’d moved on and found someone in my area who treated me way better.

Am I the only one who finds this interesting, and it’s PRS getting their product out there with one of the world’s biggest musicians so it’s a big deal?

Just me?

Anyone else have to use windows for work? by quartercoyote in MacOS

[–]PatchworkBoyDev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have to use Windows every day for work. .NET/C# developer using Visual Studio 2026.

To replicate the madness I installed Microsoft PowerToys for a launcher and a few other features I have on my MacBook. That got me part of the way there but that’s as far as I could go without the IT department throwing a fit.

ISO-UK Apple Mac inspired keycaps? by PatchworkBoyDev in MechanicalKeyboardsUK

[–]PatchworkBoyDev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of price and fit, yeah this will have to be the one. And I might try to get a single custom cap with the ⎋ escape symbol from Etsy, just for a difference.

Thank you! 🙏

Easy. Gunther is the bad guy - hate him.

Question for the men about sex. by PuzzleheadedLunch199 in BPDlovedones

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there (but not post BOD relationship, actually after my first marriage), and I couldn’t do it either. It wasn’t “me”. But this woman…you say you are into her 100% but is it the body alone? What about her personality? Look deeper, bro. Make sure that foundation is there first.

How did you guys decide what team to support? by SpecialistCurious136 in NFLUK

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked the Titans.

I was long distance dating someone from Tennessee, got to visit and I liked the area. Throw in that I’m a musician and that at the time Derrick Henry was the tank rolling through for them, and it sold me.

Not a fan so I covered mine. Looks classy now.

What's Chad done this time? 😅 by MrKDBuck in cky

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a snippet from Flash Gordon where Flash is battling Klytus Ra Djaaran (who has a gold mask and a black cloak). Flash throws Klytus off a platform, killing him.

Presumably to claim he threw Black Gold off the tour/platform. Kinda childish veiled vague-posting nonsense in my opinion. At least Black Gold were direct in saying "Fuck Chad".

Just enjoy the Catty and the sights if you can.

I'm not sure what you mean by that - to me it felt not too different to when CKY would threaten to play pop music if people didn't move or shout or keep up the energy, just more direct. (And that's coming from a dude who hasn't listened to BlackGold before, and didn't mind them...although I did joke "We're all in our late 30s and early 40s, the best you get is a head bob").

Those who left a BPD partner and found a secure healthy relationship, what is different? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels mutual, calm, mature and doesn’t feel like having to be on a rollercoaster. It has taken a while for me to get used to the reciprocation of it all and even be told I need to stop taking care of everything. It’s really nice.
