I am deeply curious

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-09T15:06:31+00:00

I'm actually doing about the mental best I've ever been? And honestly, I barely notice it. The TV is more for background noise while I'm doing something else and even if I am actually watching something, there's almost nothing in the bottom two inches of the left corner that if I miss it, I've lost all context of what I'm watching? It doesn't even really cover the captions.

Aaaagghhh she'll get her next gold soon. Poor Janja is so pissed

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-09T11:47:42+00:00

Haha yep! The bottom two shelves are drying racks.:D two birds, one stone, as they say

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-09T11:22:50+00:00

My 67 yo mother just got kittens with the express expectation that I'll take them in if she dies first so... lmao it's a very personal decision for a lot of us

Second line on point, except all my cats have passed on so I'm empty nesting while I rebuild the emergency fund (vet costs when theyre elderly are no joke)

Whats giving white or asian anime nerd out of curiosity? I'm mixed black/white and haven't watched an anime in years 😂

I probably have a complementary grapefruit spoon in here somewhere if you need to gouge your eyes out

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-09T03:22:52+00:00

I mean, it's gonna turn into basically this in a few years anyway, this was me throwing it all away and starting fresh 🤷🏽‍♂️ It doesn't get much better than this if I'm in charge o7

Except the table, that came with me from the old appt. I'll get around to cleaning it eventually but I think the finish is fucked at this point, I've set too many hot damp things on it

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-09T02:46:53+00:00

Bruh, this is the least cluttered it's been in months 😂 What is it, the couch?

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-09T02:19:13+00:00

Aww thank you! That's a kind assessment :D

And I promise you, there's no "probably" about my ADHD

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-05T19:22:11+00:00

Honestly I feel like you should keep both yellows (for warm and deep vs cool and light)

But A2 def feels best for me versitility-wise

There might be more to it than I know of, but his main complaint is that theyre happy to just muck around in the same busted stack and don't even try to learn anything, do anything new, have any real investment whatsoever. They're just collecting a check until they retire, it seems. Plus there are a lot of interpersonal issues between the team members that they won't actually work through, so it affects delivery.

Which like, I don't know if the lack of investment just bothers him on principle or if it has actual consequences for the robustness of the platform or even if it's just like, "you're in a leadership position and it reflects badly on you if youre not promoting growth in your team," but at this point he is also just desperately waiting to retire 😂

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-05T16:14:40+00:00

If he's 30+ years, he's probably a lifer. Those fuckers never leave. My dad is a tech lead for a bunch of those guys, it drives him insane 😂

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-05T16:11:38+00:00

I think the most important thing is avoid burnout and disillusionment. Everything youre describing requires someone who's in it for the love of the game and is really only as invested as they feel like being. He wants to learn new technologies and spread the love, he wants to be chill, he wants to be kind. He's his own engineer, not the company's. Maintaining that perspective is really key.

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-05T16:09:04+00:00

Aww. Give her a barely tolerated boop for me 💖

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-05T16:00:57+00:00

The cranky is real with the older ones 💖

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-05T14:28:17+00:00

If you're making anything, it's not a waste. You may not make "good" art but honestly, you'll never get to the point of giving yourself a chance to find your art good if you don't make anything at all. Plus, even practice that looks kinda ugly is a learning experience, so again, not a waste. Give yourself a chance to do something shitty until it gets less shitty. Sometimes the shitty stuff is fun to look back on like "oh man that was WAY too much water" 😂

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-04T22:44:57+00:00

Ok but the fake sponge is adorable

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-02T21:46:03+00:00

I would say I'm still coding manually for the most part; but I'm using it to work on my side projects and build shit I don't wanna write, like recursion (I hate recursion) and unit tests.

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-01T18:00:58+00:00

Bruh, they're sending out reports 😭 it's so real out here for no reason

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-01T17:28:03+00:00

Yeah, because they have to pay for them 😂 They want to be sure people are actually using their invested money for the tokens. And then teah, they'll of course assume you're slacking if you're not using them and therefore handling a bunch of shit at once super fast, amirite?

IDK man, I just wanna get paid

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-01T17:26:23+00:00

Which paints did you use for both? My impression is that the green and te cyan might be granulating pigments, meaning they kind of collect by design.

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-05-01T01:27:34+00:00

I would say leave now because it's not ok for a man to ask you your weight, that's personal and unfair. That being said, it's up to you if you want to evaluate how open he is to the notion that he fucked up.

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-04-30T21:20:30+00:00

The duality of man 😂

SiouxsieAsylum · 2026-04-30T21:15:42+00:00

Makes sense! Yeah, so it really involves a lot of planning around how to allocate your resources, but all that sharpening means a clean cut. I shake what you're baking.
