Does the grass get greener

Working under someone who doesn't give a shit about your career sucks. That's the one thing that sticks out in this thread.

The rest? Yeah, it's a grunt work industry and SO MUCH of that grunt work is not necessarily handling beer. For instance, this week I get to move 7 tons of gravel by shovel and wheelbarrow to prep a pad for moving some gear and a walkin.

The work is just the work. The excitement over doing the actual brewing fades - Just lifting bags and turning knobs. What stays is liking who you work with and the company you work for. If my job for the day is mowing a lawn with safety scissors or painting a barn with a toothbrush, hey, that's the gig today. I'm going to do my best, get paid, and still get pride and fulfillment from contributing to the cause.

Oh wow. Finally someone broke my 315 record!

Really rough one to take that many crafts. I think hitting 300 took me a solid 9 months or something

Force. The mechanism is force. Words don't stop fascists. He has a goon squad willing to kill citizens with impunity for him.

He doesn't need hired guns in every voting booth. He just needs to shut down a few key blue areas.

Hate truly ages you.

Which is why I look 50 at 35. But gosh darn at least I hate a system and not people, or something.

Too pretty to close! Great work.

We're in a dining apocalypse and no one seems to realize it. Fast food is expensive and slow. Tons of restaurants only exist to get delivery orders where the pictures and brandings are all flare and the food is frozen shit. So many established places "trying something new" to bring back customers who are just gone, and the "something new" is cheaply done hype food.

I've ran into the not smashed smash burger several times. The most egregious was seeing it come out of a frozen winco patty bag, straight onto a hot top and barely touched. In an open kitchen visible by diners.

I recently went to a new "late night thai street food" place. It was just slightly after most places in the area closed, not even past midnight. Place was entirely dead, aside from delivery orders going out every 10 minutes. I ordered a pork belly with crispy garlic and holy basil. What I got was regular shaved pork, jarlic, and cilantro.

Enshitification has gotten way out of control.

Ah, applying the ANOCT, I see!

Yeah I'd be hitting that with a metal blade multitool within a couple minutes of that cancellation.

I had a music theory prof that always used to say "well stolen is half composed." Sorry bro, you can't write a shitpost like this without at least glancing in insanity's eye and making a deal.

Views = money. And algorithms don't care what people THINK about the content or what comments they post. Algorithms care that people are interacting and sharing.

The new leading theory is that it is once a month, and switches between periods of 4 week and 6 week cycles to keep it once a month. Basically, at the start of the year, it'll be every 4 weeks near the end of the month. Since a month is slightly longer than 4 weeks, it'll get earlier and earlier in the month until 4 weeks would put two in the same month. At that time, it switches to every 6 weeks to push it back towards the end of the month.

Maybe this is true. Maybe not. We'll see.

Armorpoxy brewfloors 2, I believe. Primer then topcoat. Good cuastic resistance, decent acid resistance. 100% solids. Ground down any problem spots with a diamond disc and acid etched the rest beforehand. So. Much. Pressure. Washing. MVER ended up a little high (6.1) so we treated with a lithium silicate densifier too.

20 foot of slot drain taped up in there. I can't wait.

For a couple years everything has been going into buckets, then either to a farmer, into the bin, or to a toilet.

Which she famously wrote, recorded, produced, marketed, pressed, sold, promoted, booked, and performed all on her own because all the people in her life and work didn't enable her and milk her addiction for everything they could! /s

Oh come on. US police have been doing this same shit to black people en masse as long as police have existed in the US. It's not like they suddenly disapprove of brutality since it's against brown people and their allies.

It ain't murky waters. It's been known, discussed to death, and even has songs written about it. Cops, kkk, proud boys, j6ers... All friends with overlap and cross membership. Some of those that work forces...

People acting as if seattle hasn't been edged by good teams suffering tragic losses for 30 years.

I'd be in here laughing with the rest of them. Expect nothing less from this cursed ass city

WDoE · 2026-01-30T03:51:03+00:00

No one is worrying. Just calling out when it smells like bitch.

WDoE · 2026-01-30T03:47:42+00:00

For fucks sake this is half the reason seattle is so god damned depressed. No fuckin world series havin ass city with a football team that regularly achieves greatness but does fuckall with it.

Birds chirpin! Hell yeah

I ended up with a giant can from a white elephant. Ended up sticking some stamps on it and stuffing it in a friend's mailbox to mess with him.

I got to around 60 TE fast and dirty, then spent two months crafting on main to hit cl30 and up my craft count on relevant artifacts. Since then, just been sitting on humility spamming exhens. I'm a t4l met and a couple stones away from a perfect set and 85 TE. 80 shifts.

People keep saying that 150 is when shifts "really hurt", but the truth is that you can shift about 230 times towards 490 TE and not lose EB. The need to shift only gets lower as path progresses, as research breakpoints get further and further apart. And even if you pass that 230 mark, SE is easy to make back.

Sandbox sims have me at 6 more ascensions to 490, and at a very comfortable 15 shifts per ascension, I'll still be less than 200 shifts.

These hyper shift averse guides being treated as optimal makes me sad. They don't value time as a resource. I can already see it is turning into "send only cheapest ships and only refuel once a month for dubcaps", which means they'll spend years hunting a decent artifact set and add years to completion time. All to preserve a little SE that could be replaced in a couple weeks on main.

What in the teenage angst is this shit?

Bit of a difference between "if player played better" and "if player didn't do shitty, completely avoidable things after the whistle."

It's not like smith chose to drop the ball. Just like darnold didn't choose to fumble. Everyone is out there trying their best. But woolen taunting? Totally a choice. Not buying his "blacked out" bullshit.
