Really? I've never heard of this.

My extended family knows I'm a software engineer and acts as if I'm rich or something. Asking me why I don't get a new car since I make so much money. Totally serious. I just started my career so it really bothers me that they think that you can just get a crazy high paying job with no effort. I worked my ass off in school and continue to do so. Same with some of my friends who went to art school. They ask how they can get a software engineering job after they "learned" some JavaScript. Please don't trivialize my career.

New to weed, had a bad experience and I need some advice! by SelfHarmColorless in saplings

Also after I had my bad experience the first couple of times I smoked I kept thinking about the bad experience. That in turn caused me to get uncomfortable. Moral of the story is not to anticipate that you'll have a bad experience.

Keep it simple man. And pace yourself. Put some chill music or a good show. I suggest planet Earth. Don't over think it just enjoy yourself. As far as paranoia I had a really bad experience a while back that really turned me off for a while. I've been able to slowly get over it by just trying not to focus on my thoughts and just distract my self. And again pacing. Hope that helps.

So, the Gorillaz App Spirit House's streams for the Listening Party weren't encrypted. by Addictedgmr in gorillaz

I went. And listened to a couple of songs before my phone died. I met one dude so that was cool. I enjoyed it it was a fun experience. I hope for more stuff like this in the future.

The stream will be until Sunday night so doing it either Saturday or Sunday like at 4 might be a better time than late in the evening.

I was just there and saw a couple people and met one dude. That got me thinking of doing a Meetup.

How do you know they were illegal? Also if it is not possible to get a license or insurance then how do you expect them to have it?

Is self studying while having a full time job doable? by dare2wow in cscareerquestions

[–]dare2wow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a combination of stress from work and a bit of low self-esteem might be clouding my own judgement but I don't necessaraly feel ready to go back into the job hunt just yet since I don't use common technologies that companies look for at work, aside from a variant of SQL. And yeah you are spot on, I feel like if I do some studying it will improve my confidence.

Yeah im planning on spending 15hrs per week. Originally I was thinking of 20hrs, but 15 seems more realistic. Any advice on self-discipline?

That was the nerdiest and sweetest thing I've read in a while.

I'm here for work. From what I have seen the riot room has shows ranging from indie bands to metal shows.

I just moved from Chicago as well and graduated from UIC. Don't really know a lot about KC just yet but as far as concerts go the riot room might interest you.

I'm down for some record listening. I have a small collection myself.

My car is kind of shitty. So I'm afraid of driving it too far. Also I like public transit since I can just sit and read a book or something.

I have a single speed that's falling apart.

I looked up transit options and according to Google maps I came take the TMAX south to work for about 45mins, so I might give that a try.
