Nah, they do. Like anything today for a lot of people, it's about enjoying the now and dealing with the consequences later.

I'm working on it in other areas, but food and drink is where I really struggle. I've regulated my calorie intake by limiting the amount I eat and drinking zero calorie (non water) beverages, but I know my diet is still unhealthy. I do it because the short term is enjoyable and I don't currently have a reason not to.

Far better to keep the ol' mask on and say as little as possible until I get to know someone better

I've done this as well, but it did lead to more of a solo type of life for me (something that I personally want). I'm not saying that it'll work for everyone like that, but just to keep an eye out for it if you're someone who needs companionship.

That may work for normal people. Not so much for those unhinged enough to actually hate someone who has different characteristics than them. Unfortunately Twitter is filled with the unhinged.

What's funny is that it looked odd when I read it, but I just quickly brushed it off as a "well you don't see it written often."

The gall of some managers. They're going to lose that person anyway - might as well be on good terms where the potential of working together in the future is still a possibility.

Thank you for expressing your thoughts out on to public text. Query has been cataloged for future use.

Same. Outside from a quick hello (and I mean quick) to people I've deemed friendly, I'll only talk if the job I'm doing demands it. I won't be rude if someone asks me something, but the answer will also be quick and to the point.

Someone made a filter for that and it works well. It's in one of the posts that talked about YouTube doing that (I think the one in the Technology sub).

In a similar position, I'd consider myself a skilled worker in an unskilled role. I do work with hazardous stuff though, so maybe it is defined as skilled even though I didn't have to go through hours of training.

I just can't fathom doing that even if it was perfectly acceptable. I hope these are jobs people don't give a shit about or they have opportunities for something better. I don't (currently), so if things went south, which for me they tend to, I would be sitting here in a very bad state.

Yep, right now, using a search engine with Reddit in the query is still the best option to find an answer to something. Maybe Lemmy fits that in time, but until then, Reddit it is.

I was, but they stopped appearing once I completely cleared browsing history and cookies. I also did another purge and update for good measure.

The only pain in the ass was that I ended up changing the username of some of my accounts but forgot to update them in my account manager, so it took a bit to find and log into them. But that was completely on me and won't happen if you're not being an idiot like I was.

Well, looks like it may be time to try and see what Linux is all about. Any good recommendations for a relatively Out of the Box experience?

I mostly just browse the web and play games (both single player and multiplayer, mostly AAA but also the occasional indie). On occasion, I also like to do some video editing in Davinci Resolve.

I've accepted my past mistakes and, for the most part, don't get get bothered by them anymore. However, what does bother me is really not having an identity and passion to know where I want to take my life. It feels like I'm just living day to day until I eventually become dust.
