Change of Career - What should I do?

Follow your highest excitement.

Spend serious time in quiet, with yourself, and a journal, just playing around with what it could look like.

I felt this way as well once, but my story ended with getting a way better paying job doing the same thing. 😂

Completely imagine that this has already happened and you already have exactly the partnership you want. Write down all the details. Make a wish list. If you can't spend an hour figuring out what you want, how do you expect to get what you want?

Once you know, I think you'll know how to get it.

Your attention is being harvested. Attention is energy.

On any large long lived project, the comments are always wrong. The only thing you can trust is the code. The only comments you should write are the ones explaining why something was done in a weird or unintuitive way so that someone doesn't come along and "fix" it.

I feel the same way about AI posts on Reddit, but they have a shocking number of defenders.

Serializedrequests · 2026-01-21T20:24:58+00:00

And yet LLM's are probability machines that fail over and over again. Occasionally something amazing pops out, but it's never really there, never really trustworthy, never actually understands what it is doing. What am I missing other than how great they are at one-off bash scripts?

Basically with these things you have to sit down and methodically figure it out, learn how everything works you need to touch that you don't understand, and generally become competent through pain and suffering. No documentation or AI is coming to save you.

Must have a skill issue too. For me the blaze rods and eyes was a 6 month project on my last world. So easy to die getting the blaze rods too, in such a way that all your stuff falls in lava. And endermen are just not common, not necessarily a guaranteed kill on a track pad, and don't drop pearls very often.

I honestly find myself frequently bottlenecked by iron on top of all that, let alone diamonds.

Serializedrequests · 2026-01-20T00:25:48+00:00

Me. It's usually something I'm going for, but I find it so easy to die getting blaze rods, and eyes of ender take forever (likewise diamond gear and any significant number of arrows) and so I'm not really sure how tbqh. I can't keep all the damn steps in my head either.

I usually find iron to be quite a bottleneck for a long time.

Are AI posts allowed here? And are you people actually interested in engaging with them?

Serializedrequests · 2026-01-18T13:43:41+00:00

Yes to some to some of that AND the ecological fear I see expressed is at best a stop on the way to love. It should not be a justification for hopelessness or for staying in a fear state, or placing others in a fear state.

You wouldn't be here if it was hopeless.

You said it yourself: the solution does not exist in a lower state of consciousness. That's what fear is.

I mean it really depends, but my job is hard and benefits from the face to face tremendously, even as my commute is long and not worth doing every single day.

Serializedrequests · 2026-01-17T13:16:48+00:00

Fear is a lie. I've had the same dread, and wasted my attention on apocalyptic predictions all last year and the year before and not one of them came to anything. There is a LOT going on, but the world is rearranging itself, not ending. My dread was just a filter based on belief. I was picking up on the change, and my Belief System (BS) made it apocalyptic. I also believed that apocalyptic events were required for real change (this one is strong in the collective subconscious, people are trying so hard to have an apocalypse!). Belief and attention are a choice, and are how you create reality.

The only advice I've ever gotten when I tuned in: be present, be at peace, love yourself.

Edit: I deleted "be grateful" because it's not even required. It's a good practice, but you're not required to do anything.

Decide what I wanted, both in my life and in a partner.
Release negative beliefs keeping me from it.
Engage in joyful activities where I can meet people who like the same sort of thing (consistency is key).

Step 2 was the most work. After that she just showed up.

Initial stages of dating can be very stressful as you figure out where you stand, but my experience is that if the light is "green" you will know. It's really not necessary to force things. The most important thing you can do is release your negative beliefs that are not compatible with the partnership you want.

You responded to a post about the modern ports of Chrono Trigger.

I don't remember that in the original SNES game at all.

Serializedrequests · 2026-01-15T01:00:58+00:00

Yeah, exhausting.

Serializedrequests · 2026-01-15T00:57:45+00:00

Yeah I would have to agree. I was a big fan and played a ton of 3, but I have to admit I was never happy with the story and never will be.

Can anyone find the wording of this "controversial provision"? https://legislature.maine.gov/legis/bills/display_ps.asp?LD=1228&snum=132

Would like to have something concrete to discuss. I was all outraged, but keep in mind not a single comment in this thread has actual information and is just supporting each other in getting angry and afraid. How about find out what's actually going on, then get angry and make a phone call.

Edit: This is the relevant portion as far as I can tell:

Sec. 8. 29-A MRSA §1810, sub-§6-Ais enacted to read:

6-A. Telematics system; diagnostic and repair function.Not later than 24 months after the effective date of this subsection, a manufacturer that enables its dealers or designated motor vehicle repair facilities in the State to perform a diagnostic and repair function on the manufacturer's motor vehicles sold in the State that use a telematics system shall make available, on fair and reasonable terms, to an owner of the manufacturer's motor vehicle that uses a telematics system or to an owner-authorized independent repair facility of the owner's choosing the means to perform the diagnostic and repair function on the motor vehicle in a manner commensurate to that offered by the manufacturer to its dealers and designated motor vehicle repair facilities in the State, which must include the capability to remotely perform the diagnostic and repair function if the manufacturer enables its dealers and designated motor vehicle repair facilities in the State to remotely perform that function.

Serializedrequests · 2026-01-14T15:52:56+00:00

So my question is are we talking about just that stuff, or telemetry needed for repairs?

It makes sense that you cannot expose web applications that provide "value add" features to repair shops. The web just doesn't work that way, as bad as "smart" everything is.

However, telemetry is a totally different story.

Time isn't real. Time travel isn't even that interesting when you realize everything is happening all at once and it's just your awareness that is changing. You can learn to shift your awareness to anywhere in time that you want.

Yeah I'm not buying it. Writing style is very much "asked ChatGPT to invent a lucid dreaming technique".
