We’re running with the Barudan BEKY, but they run .dst files too.

Nobody can do this work for you: learn to bleed with a smile.

Nope, quit reading there. My old doctor didn’t believe in period pain and told me I just needed to learn how to smile through it.

I have red-belted bumblebees living inside the wall of my house. We need to fix the broken light fixture they’re using to gain access, but I dun wanna kick them out, haha.

People are always amazed at how physically active embroidery is at an industrial scale. Everybody thinks it’s just sitting around with an oldschool hoop, but I’m up and down the length of an 8ft machine all day, embroidering the same design on 6 garments at once.

I think the most I ever did was 300 garments in an 8 hour workday, but I put 17k steps on my fitbit and was dead tired afterwards.

Edit:oh heck it was more steps than that

Not the person you’re asking, but I mostly watch craft stuff, particularly 1:12 scale dollhouse miniatures and sewing. The most recent video I could find that was even remotely relevant is several months old and about a different kind of miniature.

Yeah, this country fucking blows.

Nah, I’m asking to be banned from the instance they do moderate, lmao.

Oh, it’s not just poor parenting. I was also raised religious, and they taught me that god hates everybody too. Humans are inherently sinful, and we all deserve to die horrible deaths and be tortured for eternity because we pissed off god. And that goes double for non-cishet people like myself, who the church wanted publicly executed because that’s what it says in the bible. I decided to be homeless at 19 because I thought my stepdad would follow the biblical rules about me getting raped, and beat me to death. The majority of people in this country claim to be the same religion, so that’s terrifying.

Then we’ve got our government telling me that I’m a ‘useless eater’ because I’ve got a brain tumor and can’t afford to monitor it without medicaid. The same government is talking about forcing me and people like me into labor camps. You can look at the voter numbers, the majority of people at minimum don’t care, because they didn’t vote. Most of the people who did care enough to vote, voted for this government.

I’ve been in therapy for a while, but I don’t understand why you think therapy will make me okay with being classed as subhuman in this country.

Ooooh, I especially hate the people in my family. They’re such assholes. My mother told me once that she regretted not aborting me, so I don’t see why I’m in the wrong for hating her back.

Yes, I live in the USA and I hate myself. Easy answer.

Oh hell yeah. Ban me too, fuck the USA.

Maybe, but that doesn’t quite track with what I experienced. It was for a fairly well known company that builds industrial tools and machines, and I interviewed at their HQ, so I don’t think it was an agency building a pool.

The screening part sounds right, but I think these guys were doing it in-house.

I’m here from /all so I can confirm this is happening in non-tech too. Not too long ago, I interviewed to be a product photographer for an industrial manufacturer, and the people who were interviewing me knew nothing about the job I was interviewing for.

They couldn’t tell me what camera they used in house, they couldn’t tell me what editing software they used, they couldn’t tell me about the lights, they couldn’t tell me anything. It’s like if the interviewers said you’d use ‘computers’ but couldn’t tell you which OS they were running.

Freon too?! Some people really want to watch the world burn.

The Aristocrats!

Meanwhile my great grandmother, in her 80s, was able to learn how to boot up Win95 to play some puzzle games.

I personally think it’s because she was never really one for passive entertainment. If she watched television, it was stuff like Wheel of Fortune and she played along. She hit up the library every week for fresh books, and did a lot of crochet and crossword.

It’s similar to how I think her curiosity for life and refusal to be afraid is why she wasn’t a bigot. We have several interracial marriages in my family, and she never had a problem with it, despite being born in 1912.

She lived to be 100, and I hope I’m half as cool as she was.

We’re not any smarter than the fascists

I’ve been saying this for a while. Being ‘on the left’ is no guarantee that somebody is intelligent or a good person that cares about others. Anybody can say they’re a leftist, but it’s gotta be borne out of action or it’s meaningless.

Most of the HOAs in my area are a mix of privately owned homes and rental properties owned by the company that built the neighborhood.

Biden tried, no loans were forgiven, some loans were forced to be more ethical, but nobody was freed from the debt.

Factually untrue. My loans got forgiven.

It kept crashing to desktop for me. Literally unplayable.
