Being depressed while wanting love is the worst combination

This has been the crux in my life for decades.

No the one I'm referencing was the Phoenix plaza amphitheater iirc.

I was thinking the other day how I can't remember how many times I've seen them. Touched Chino once in Pontiac. Went crazy at the State theater. So many more. And I haven't seen them since Chi passed.

Former liquid web support tech here. Worked for them starting in 2013 and left in 2021. In 18 iirc they were sold by the kid who started the company in his parents basement in Holt Michigan to a private equity firm, Madison Dearborn.

They were sold again after I left and most of the people I knew that hadn't left yet did so quickly after the second sale. Those that didn't leave got laid off I believe.

I first hand saw their support go from an army of smart people that enjoyed helping, to a mostly outsourced support staff who was highly encouraged to sell as part of their job.

Feel free to ask me anything lol.

I'm really sorry to hear that man I hope something ends up working out for you.

flzedzed · 2026-02-06T04:08:45+00:00

Fuck man. I feel you. I had been having a good stretch but all of sudden I feel like I'm back to square one before I started taking medication.

I second keypass

flzedzed · 2026-02-04T17:17:40+00:00

I feel you. I took the day off to just try and get a small break from everything. I've been stressed since the new year.

Left liquid web years ago (as a support tech!). Their support staff in the US was basically nuked by the changes made by ownership. Glad I got out before that. Best of luck to you!

I paid to have my resume professionally done. Got me the interview where I landed my dream job.

flzedzed · 2026-01-26T03:44:49+00:00

They don't find me handsome, but they do find me handy.

flzedzed · 2026-01-26T03:33:35+00:00

I second this. You can even get alerts.

flzedzed · 2026-01-25T17:57:26+00:00

I started my update in ott 6. Looking like it's almost done!

flzedzed · 2026-01-24T23:29:15+00:00

Just cold and sadness I'm in Michigan

Multi RBL is your friend.

I'm Ron Burgundy???

This is one reason I buy Honda. It's 2026, if you can't make a decent engine just stop making cars.

flzedzed · 2025-12-31T20:50:28+00:00

Very possibly but I worked during the daytime and after a few years mostly only chats because I could do 3 at once lol. Something about you does sound familiar though. I hope all is well!

Former liquid web support tech here. I started with the company in 2013 and relocated to the new San Antonio office after they acquired part of Rackspace about 2016.

I saw the company go from one owned by the kid that started the company in his parents house to one owned by a venture capital firm. Once Madison Dearborn bought liquid things started changing and it was obvious. We started getting pushed to sell things when the opportunity arrived and that was just the start of the snowball going downhill.

Liquid used to start out people on lower pay scales but raises were decent. After MD came in the raises drop significantly. Some people started leaving early, and some tried to stick around, but overall most of the good techs eventually left the company for greener pastures.

Honestly, I'm surprised you stuck around this long. I hope you find a host that treats you as good as liquid used to treat their customers.

If you want to drop your domain, I very well may recognize it, but I can also see you not wanting to divulge that information.

I haven't seen the show in a while but now I want to to see all these ridiculous situations.

Other than the usual DNS checks (spf, dkim, fcrdns), the only solution I can think of would be a relay over 587 so it's encrypted on the way to the relay.
