My former boss constantly said I needed to work on building trust with her and docked me on my performance reviews. I asked if I had done something untrustworthy and how to go about this? She never had an answer. I didn't realize at the time it was just the autism.

13 years ago I was the social media lead for record label for practicum. 8 years ago I got rejected from a social media job. They said I didn't have the right personality. Out of sheer spite I made a Twitter with a largeish following and reach.

So yesterday I found out my endometriosis is back. Looks like stage 3. Two years ago, I had stage 4. I had a full hysterectomy, removal of fallopian tube that was near rupture, lost most of my right ovary, and eight hours of adhesion removal. Now it's coming from the remains of my ovary.

Onboarding as a Producer is so mentally exhausting and we don't talk about it. I need to know a little bit about everything to do my job effectively so it's like taking a full immersion crash course for 40 hrs a week.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itโs good sheโs gone. But this doesnโt change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

I play cities skylines and the first patch under the new owner seems to have fundamentally broken several shaders, anti aliasing, and made changes to the camera I can't really describe. I'm fascinated on both how this happened and how it was released.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

I have a very simple and straightforward two-step plan to Save The Video Game Industry: Step 1: Globally eliminate the concept of a classed society and redistribute all surplus resources among the populace, permanently enshrining social ownership of the means of production. Step 2: Ridge Racer 8.
