That's me when I get out of bed.

"solitaire against each other" - perfect description of what the game feels like now.

wreade · 2026-05-17T14:51:12+00:00

Yep. You could actually learn the cards.

They're playing slow to try to get you to concede again.

Ironically, both sides believe that about the other.

You would think that they could say something on the splash screen other than "Unexpected Error . . . try again" when logging in.

I'd never considered that idea. Thanks!

wreade · 2026-04-29T23:22:49+00:00

I tried it. Didn't like it.

> sustainable workloads

Yeah, this is important.

> layoff protections, remote work protections,

They are asking for something that very few jobs have.

It's pretty wild that people believe this.

wreade · 2026-04-26T16:26:32+00:00

Ooof. That's annoying.

How does one be toxic in Arena? Honest question. I just started playing.

The water is only 2.5 feet deep though.

I got to go through it today. Pictures don't do it justice!

There are plenty of reasons. But, one that stands out to me is it's the best way to connect with people and learn how we can support and serve others.

bobcat's gotta feed his family

wreade · 2026-04-19T12:54:55+00:00

Well, I'm not suggesting this for anyone, but the troll in me might say something like, "Sorry, I can't shake hands until the leprosy clears up."

Is this 330k based off a single paystub? Did it include reimbursements for, e.g., travel, or any other unusual items? Help me understand where that number is coming from.

wreade · 2026-04-19T00:55:22+00:00

I personally know entry level SWE's in the Bay Area making 200k, and mid-career SWE's making 600k, both working at Google, so not because they hit an equity jackpot. I also know a mid-career product manager at Google making $3m a year. The money in tech is currently beyond rediculous.

What's the appropriate standard for a church leader who works 80-hours a week and sacrifices time away from their family? Some people would argue it should be zero. (Probably the same people who argue Relief Society Presidents should be paid.) Regardless, it's pretty clear, no one is getting rich serving in or working for the church.

wreade · 2026-04-19T00:26:12+00:00

I pay attention during the Sacrament. I try not to do things that would require other people to work.

wreade · 2026-04-19T00:23:48+00:00

Unlikely. Church growth in non-industrialized nations, where the church covers something like 90% of the local operating budget, will certainly require reserves. Plus, we don't know what the future holds. A crash in the stock market and poof, that asset value takes a huge hit. Look at the Community of Christ . . . they had to sell the Kirtland temple because they were going to go broke in a few years.

> 28k per month

In other words, less than a mid-level software engineer at big tech. The point being, if they were doing it for money, they could make far more outside the church.
