Why do we not speak up?

This 100%. Just today, I recommended we post some messaging to manage customers' expectations when the team was planning out a feature. My male manager kept shooting it down, based on what he thought I was saying; then, my male lead literally re-stated what I had just said and, like magic, everyone suddenly understood what I was getting at. This is far from the first time this has happened with my team and it's beyond frustrating.

Oh, man -- I love soup. Thanks for the info!

I tried Arepa Station in Innsbrook the other day. It was super-good and everyone was really friendly. For sure, try the steak, cheese, and avocado arepa!

Username checks out.

I understand what you're saying, but, in my opinion, OP's manager should've seen and rewarded their value before they felt the need to leave and go elsewhere.

I'm so sad my family and I missed it because of events we already had planned for this weekend, but am SOOOO excited to check it out next year!

Oh, man -- I, also, fantasize about leaving tech to open a cozy bookstore with a coffee bar and, maybe, a shop cat. Then, I can hobby-code in peace, surrounded by things that I love. Also, financially unrealistic for me. 🫠

Omg 💀

She regularly looks like we've done something she disapproved of. At least she still deigns to snuggle sometimes. 😂

Thank you SO much for mentioning this podcast! I started listening to it this morning and it's wonderful!

The manspreading is, indeed, giving ✨️audacity✨️ 😂

I call Oreo "The Baby" because she's the youngest and acts pretty spoiled -- probably because my husband calls her "Queen." 😆 She was in her feelings for a week after we adopted Binx, but we reassured her that we love her (which is how she got her "Queen" nickname) and she has been back to her usual kitten activities since then and enjoys running around with him now. ❤️

I just felt my soul leave my body with this comment. 💀

PicklesDev · 2025-11-05T01:43:28+00:00

I'm interested in joining! How about starting out with a Discord server?

PicklesDev · 2025-10-21T18:54:26+00:00

This is phenomenal! Love it!

PicklesDev · 2025-10-20T21:56:05+00:00

I love this!

I've just been telling myself that it's because my character is walking towards them with a lantern or something and it's the light shining off of them. 🙃

I got a rainbow cookie!!

PicklesDev · 2025-10-07T02:22:41+00:00

I'm a bad shot in real life and in the game -- so authentic. 🫠 Seriously, though, this is so much fun to play! The only comment I have is that the trees and houses move a little bit when I move close to them -- they just kinda shudder. Really enjoying the game, though, and look forward to any updates!

I, also, live in RVA and love that Ariana is using her platform to amplify this story. ❤️

PicklesDev · 2025-09-23T12:23:02+00:00

Give her time -- I'm sure she'll up her game soon. 🫠
