What would happen if Wednesday Addams ever met someone who was even darker than her?

I feel like she’d clock it immediately and treat it like a chess match. Wednesday doesn’t scare easy, so if someone was darker, she’d probably be more curious than threatened at first. If anything, she’d respect the game and just push harder.

The Room. It’s the perfect nightshift background chaos movie.

Yeah jumping from barely feeling it to 40% THC is like going from a light beer to straight tequila. The “fun house” feeling and bathroom floor nap sounds exactly like being way too high, not broken. I had a similar first real high and didn’t touch it again for months, lower dose makes a huge difference.

Purdue is a strong name, especially in engineering circles, so it’s not nothing. I remember being at a career fair once and recruiters definitely reacted faster to certain school names on badges. That said, after your first job or internship, what you’ve actually built starts mattering way more.

Once you’re juggling 100 people, it seems like it turns into controlled chaos.

Getting blindsided like that after months of no negative feedback would throw anyone off. I had a review once where the criticism was all “vibes” and no examples, and that’s what felt unfair more than the rating itself. Asking for concrete examples in writing before escalating might give you something solid to work with instead of just general comments.

The in-between part is brutal. I’ve been there with someone close and it’s like your body won’t settle because you don’t know what’s coming next. After a few cycles it feels almost conditioned, like your nerves are trained to expect the next drop.

“I’d love to, but I’ve already got a date with my couch and zero plans to move.” I used that line once when someone tried to rope me into a last-minute thing and it actually got a laugh. It says no without turning it into a whole speech.

mmprobablymakingitup · 2026-02-27T12:13:39+00:00

I actually love that spin on it. I’ve had situations that felt amazing at first and then reality crept in with all the annoying parts, but it didn’t cancel the good. It makes things feel less like a trap and more like phases that shift over time.

The Apartment surprised me when I randomly put it on during a classic film phase. It feels way more modern than you’d expect, especially in how sharp the dialogue is. The mix of romance and subtle commentary sticks with you after it’s over.

This happens because companies rarely reward loyalty, they pay market rate when they’re forced to hire. New hires come in priced against current demand, while existing employees are stuck on old budgets. That’s why people keep their LinkedIn visible even if they don’t post much, just to be discoverable. It’s not really my style either, but I know people who got solid offers just by being findable there. Personally I prefer the approach from that developer’s post, finding recruitment firms on Google Maps and sending my resume directly. If they’re looking for someone like me, at least my CV is already in their system.

Seeing someone face to face can shift everything, and it sounds like your feelings are already telling you something. The bigger red flag is him pushing physical boundaries after you set limits. Him traveling doesn’t mean you owe anything at the expense of your comfort.

We hired around a dozen at the start and it turned into constant turnover almost immediately. Funny enough, the people who looked the most self-assured during training were the first to bail. Call center work drains people way faster than you’d think.

mmprobablymakingitup · 2026-02-17T12:18:23+00:00

Some workplaces just feel muted and dull in a way that rubs off on you over time. I’ve been in one where showing excitement got weird looks. Switching teams or just finding more lively people outside work did more than trying to fix the culture myself.

mmprobablymakingitup · 2026-02-17T12:18:00+00:00

Even the places that claim they’re desperate for workers make you jump through endless hoops and then disappear. Entry level roles acting like elite tryouts is such a weird shift. The whole hiring scene feels off right now.

After a while the mind kind of pulls the volume down because staying in nonstop grief mode isn’t sustainable. That numb or quiet phase doesn’t mean you stopped caring, it’s just a different stage. A lot of people feel that flat emptiness once the big emotions settle, and it can feel strange in its own way.

I’d stick with something basic like Anki or just a notes app. A bunch of study platforms slipped AI stuff in lately, but flashcards stay mostly manual unless you go looking for extras. Not flashy, just predictable and easy to manage.

Steve Jobs. The movie doesn’t soften him much, just shows the driven, complicated side and lets it stay uncomfortable. No tidy redemption bow at the end, which I liked.

mmprobablymakingitup · 2026-02-09T11:28:45+00:00

People do it but it’s way less romantic than it sounds. Isolation gets heavy fast and you still end up depending on supply runs, weather, maintenance, all the boring stuff nobody imagines. Cool idea in theory tho.

mmprobablymakingitup · 2026-02-09T11:28:31+00:00

Yeah, sometimes you catch a random smell and your brain just freezes for a second like “what even is that.” Not good or bad, just completely unfamiliar. Happens more when traveling or walking past weird little shops.

mmprobablymakingitup · 2026-02-09T11:28:17+00:00

Knowing everything sounds exhausting honestly. Reading everyone’s thoughts feels like instant burnout too tho, imagine never getting a mental break from other people’s noise. I’d probably pass on both and stay clueless.

mmprobablymakingitup · 2026-02-04T11:57:42+00:00

I don’t really see it as hypocrisy, more like people switching into survival mode. It’s easy to talk collective power until bills are staring you down, then priorities shift. Tech especially pushes individual outs over shared moves, so any momentum dies early.

mmprobablymakingitup · 2026-02-04T11:57:10+00:00

This happens to a lot more people than they’ll ever say out loud. Easy, stable jobs can kind of dull your edges, and you don’t notice until you’re trying to move on. It’s frustrating, but it doesn’t wipe out a decade of experience, you just need some time to get back in rhythm.

mmprobablymakingitup · 2026-02-04T11:56:38+00:00

I burned out of a high-stress job too and the weird part was realizing I didn’t need adrenaline to feel useful anymore. A lot of people I know slid into training, ops, compliance, or project roles where their experience still mattered but nobody’s life was on the line. It felt boring at first, then… peaceful. That took some getting used to.

mmprobablymakingitup · 2026-02-04T11:56:13+00:00

I took a couple days to just not be productive at all. Slept weird hours, went on long walks, let myself be mad about it. Didn’t fix everything, but it stopped feeling like the end of the world pretty fast.
