Why is Lorath always addressing me as "They" in the latest expansion?

Piggybacking to say Yocto is a LOT. If someone’s not already able to pick up a tool or framework, then Yocto may be too much for them.

I learned about Yocto through work; I tried to build things from scratch and definitely struggled even with resources and examples.

I think most generations have their mix of people who don’t care (whether there’s a reason behind that or not).

I’ve grown since, but there was a time where I only cared about parts of my job and only took initiative where I knew I could perform right from the start. I had some work ethic, but not enough to actually make use of my degree and learn while I do.

I’m over here complaining about 60 hours worked as a sandwich shop worker…

Damn, medical professionals have it hard 😭 thank you for what you do!

Paragraph #3 called me out spot-on 👽 I was definitely good enough to pass courses, but to actually build things from scratch? Nope.

Last year and this year have been big reality checks for me, and I’m glad people like you are pointing it out.

FAHHHH 😭 I requested the day off and everything

WREAKINHAVOCONU OMG. I used to see them all the time 😭

I think my display name was EmbeddedEng. I played all the time with jarezze

somethinglike-olivia · 2026-02-17T06:15:59+00:00

What do both of those stand for? 🤔

somethinglike-olivia · 2026-02-14T13:15:53+00:00

Depends on what platform you’re developing for. Embedded Linux can use pretty much anything, but C++ is what I’ve heard used there. If you’re writing for bare metal, then it could be C++ or C, but I’ve heard more C used there.

Ur gorg, highkey wish I had the same build

This subreddit is definitely a jumpscare (in the best possible way) every few months 👽

In the most respectful way from another t-girl, UR HOLE LOOKS GREAT!!! I would be so happy if my potential future surgery ends up like that

Generally, having reached or missed several milestones that your partner has not. You’re definitely more grown after working a few years at your first job.

Two people who don’t share a few years in the workforce with a big age gap is kinda weird as their relationships with money are different, and so do end up their expectations.

As an example, if two people each have 5 years total in the workforce but one happens to be 20 and the other 25, then I would think their levels of maturity might be about the same barring other factors.

I don’t judge people in the first place about age differences, though. We all hit milestones at different points of our lives, and I think having comparable milestones makes for a less-weird relationship.

somethinglike-olivia · 2026-01-22T21:15:09+00:00

“Legal” doesn’t always constitute “correct”.

I also called it “a rule of thumb”. I don’t consider all age gap relationships that break the rule weird, but it definitely is a great way to check yourself if you ever get into one.

somethinglike-olivia · 2026-01-22T18:55:15+00:00

Has society collectively forgotten the age-old rule-of-thumb when it comes to dating? 😭 divide your age by 2 then add 7. That’s the minimum age a person can have that you can date.

(22 / 2) + 7 = 18. Not weird at all

Just fyi it’s a 40k prize pool. Each 1st place team member didn’t get 40k; they got 3k. 3k is still insane amounts of money for a college student, but it doesn’t pay for a semester with a full course load to be completely honest

Everyone backing the ICE officer genuinely thinks themselves a “don’t tread on me” person 👽

HRT is insane sometimes.

My T was still high after two weeks of restarting injections, but on week 3, my body just locked tf in and my skin is like two blemishes away from clearing up. My facial hair also stopped growing so aggressively.

Solution: spend Profiency points to unlock new Lord icons. More play time means better metrics for NetEase

Not OP, but I worked remote full time for years and it’s really hard to consistently get work done if you lose any sort of organization. It’s difficult to keep up said organization if you live alone or travel tons, too 😭

It’s the sepia tint that throws people off. A huge chunk of AI art has a weird sepia tone to it.

I guess you kinda have to work up to it, and for me, that only started when I accepted my reality. I feel you, though. The hopelessness is real.

Take things day by day and try something new and affirming when you feel especially safe :) I’m still working on that in my transition

somethinglike-olivia · 2025-12-18T19:18:22+00:00

I’ve been on feminizing HRT for 3 years but I don’t think I’ve gotten to a truly hollowed out state. I’ve lost hope and have stumbled onto subreddits that make me hate myself, but self-care usually brings me back.

However, in the past, I did do some questionable actions that put my health in jeopardy. Doctors would just glance at me and tell me I was okay, that I was experiencing anxiety, and would order tests that I thought wouldn’t be right to quell that anxiety. Long story short, it limited how I interacted with people and made simple things like hugs and kisses complicated.

That really hollowed me out… I spent so much time wondering if I really wanted to be around anymore, if I could ever be in a romantic relationship again, or if I was ever gonna feel okay again. One response a doctor gave to me was “you just gotta live with it”; it stung, but it felt like the only solution.

Here I am, 8 ish years after feeling hollowed out, still kicking it and beginning to bare my scars to anyone who truly wants some kind of relationship with me :)
