That’s solid advice. I think I have my identity wrapped up too much in my career, so when I dislike my job, I feel unsatisfied in life. I will try to see it as means to an end more than who I am.

I tried using VScode to play around with Golang. I had to quit coding to take care of something else. I hit save, and suddenly I have way fewer lines of code. WTF? Why did/would saving delete code? After much digging, it turns out because the all knowing VSCode thought because I had not yet referenced my variables, I never would, and since my code I wanted to save and continue later wouldn’t compile, it must be quelled. Off with its head!

Anyway, I decided to use vim instead. When I did :wq, the file was saved exactly as I had typed it.

I definitely have moments like this too. I have been reflecting more lately and trying to decide if the feeling is temporary or permanent. I have been pondering what else I would do. Are you considering a career change, and if so, what would you do instead? I don’t know if I could transition to something else without going back to school, and it would kill me a bit inside to take out more student loans.

The one asks how to do something. The other gives 13 steps of instructions. The 14th step is “??? I don’t know. This is where I got stuck too in the same way as OP.”

They give the example of “job” vs “occupation” but then talk about the headlines "Meghan and Harry are talking to Oprah. Here’s why they shouldn’t say too much” vs. “Are Meghan and Harry spilling royal tea to Oprah? Don’t bet on it.”

This doesn’t seem to fit the simple words narrative they just set up. To me, this is standard language vs. slang. The first one sounds like it may be objective and fact-based, and the second sounds like it was written by a gabby middle schooler.

I would likely not be interested in the content either way, but I would be far more likely to click on the drivel-free headline.

For a long time, I wanted to get a PS5 or “the new xbox”, whatever the heck it was named. I was in a big box store and saw what I thought was one of the new ones when they were still hard to find. But, I had no cell signal in the store, so I couldn’t look up info on it. I couldn’t verify if it was the new one, or the old one, since their stupid naming scheme was so arbitrary and hard to remember if you weren’t already in their ecosystem. I didn’t buy it, and later found the one I saw was the newest one. I ended up eventually finding and buying a PS5. I doubt I am the only one, but even if so, they did not make a sale to one person because of their stupid naming scheme. With Playstation system naming, there is no confusion.

It’s also nice because I can charge my entire family’s phones all at once. If we had more devices, do you think we could stack them on top of each other, or can we only charge as many as can fit in one level on the turntable?

Because Genthree Genfour Genfive Gensix, etc. would get confused with other products on a Google search.

Duolingo has dropped hugely in quality (for Korean anyway) just in the last couple months. The AI-generated voices mispronounce so much stuff. I spend more time reporting unclear audio or outright mispronunciations and grammar issues than I do learning. They seem to want their users to be their QA team, but then don’t even fix the reported issues. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/duolingo-lays-off-workers-as-it-leans-on-ai-tools-to-carry-out-more-tasks/ar-AA1mKgja

I grew up in a small town. We had two Wells Fargo banks on different ends of town. There was a female banker that looked like she was probably about forty who, whenever I would go into the branch closest to my house, would flirt with me so much that I eventually went to the other branch to avoid her.

I am surprised no one has mentioned cost yet. If a school suggest parents send their kids to therapy, but the bill is completely on the parents and they can’t afford it, that’s a pretty short conversation.

Everything I read was well worded and well reasoned. However, it seems like either my ADD got the better of me, or that was the article that has no end. I didn’t really realize before that my attention has a word count, but I now know that it is less than this article.

If movies have taught me anything, the speech is about giving more than 100%.

It took me a while to find this blog post again. It details many ways he fits. https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/

Noy OP, but I canceled all of Prime. I haven’t used anything but video and shipping from it for months already. Almost everything I want to see on Prime Video requires renting/buying or getting a subscription to some other service through Amazon.

We didn’t buy enough stuff on Amazon last year to justify the cost via shipping either, even considering Christmas gift purchases.

I agree with them. Your review sounds like, “This restaurant’s food is terrible because the owner hit my car in the parking lot.”

I had this exact thought. It may actually be “The year of the Linux Desktop.”
