Yep, after 5 years at the company and watching as the senior members jumped ship, I thought I could weasel the salary I deserved out of them by stepping up to the plate. Turns out I got the salary I should have had the whole time, but nothing extra considering I was managing 12 people. On top of that, I was also expected to make magic happen whenever the executives pulled their heads out of their asses long enough to realize there were problems. Needless to say, I didn’t finish my 6th year. I regret so many of the decisions I made in my career that year. I should have never showed interest in managing because I could have stayed in my current role and probably been a lifer doing a job I was good at. Instead I jumped ship to a different company that I like less, doing things that bore me to death. So my 2 cents is to stick to being a grunt and avoid the stress and self loathing that comes with being middle management… unless you are into that sort of thing, because many people love ladder climbing into positions they despise for the sake of “career advancement”.

You need a failed public office run too.

To bad the bouncer didn’t have a bat.

Maybe I’m telling on myself, but a 4 bedroom house split 4 ways in todays market, that sounds right.

Getting harassed by gamers online.

Meanwhile on inbred island…

Fair, I was aware of OSX being BSD and hence Unix, bur don’t know if that’s always been the case or not.

I’m sooooooo tired.

Tired of masking

Tired of defending my masking

Tired of friends leaving me behind

Tired of family giving me the guilt trip

With all of that tho, I still feel right about being as cautious as I am. I don’t feel like I’m wrong for still trying to protect myself. It’s just extremely disheartening and disenfranchising to know that the life I knew is gone and as far as the public is concerned it’s all my fault for not just going back to normal.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic and I don’t want to be the “ackshully” guy lol.

Visibility.

Many cars have Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) that are always on so as to draw more attention to cars during times like dusk or dawn where light is waining and it’s not dark enough to trigger auto headlights.

I don’t think there is a best way to tell people this info. No matter what you say it’s conflicting with the social norms and some people will always do a double take at it.

Personally, I would just keep doing what you are doing. As someone who also abandoned all mainstream social media, the weird reactions are few and far between now. In fact multiple people in my life have taken the same stance. It may have taken them a few extra years, but they eventually came around.

When it comes down to it, if something isn’t servicing your needs, you shouldn’t feel obligated to continue participating. I totally understand the FOMO or having to do the uncomfortable explanation of your seemingly contrarian actions, but at the end of the day do what’s best for you. The people who are worth your time will understand and adapt. Eventually they may even follow suite.

First they came for the burgers and now they are coming for the pizzas. Do the demoncrat commie leftists have no limit to their evil freedom stomping?

I haven’t heard of this till now, but I may end up downloading it too.
