- Comment on I'm about to get fired. How do I make sure my next job is a better place to work? 1 week ago:
In the end the deciding factor is the supply and demand dynamic for someone like you in the job market. That is going to determine how picky you can allow yourself to be in your job search. Most people will try to use this dynamic to get a higher income, but you can also use it to get better working conditions etc. So you can look into jobs with a higher demand for applicants (searching job boards (1) and asking people who actively recruit can give you a feel for what is in higher demand), and you can look into jobs that have a lower supply of applicants (less populated areas, requiring rare qualifications, “unglamorous” fields that many aren’t interested in or don’t know about).
Of course stuff like asking the right questions during the interview, talking to employees, doing prior research etc. is important, but that only helps if you’re in a situation where you can allow yourself to be picky because you have better options. So I’d focus on how to get into that situation if I were you.
At least, this line of reasoning has been very helpful to me. There’s also people with different approaches that seemed to make them happy. Just something to think about.
(1) job boards are NOT very reliable sources of information, but they’re a good start

Couldn’t nicely put pngs with transparent backgrounds in there for these two, so they both got white backgrounds and put next to each other.

- Comment on Which one and why? 3 months ago:
I’d definitely pick 3.
First of all, if you can only eat with one spoon, you might as well pick a cool-looking one. Imagine being at a social event and people are handing out spoons to eat soup or whatever, and you’re like “no thanks, I always eat with this spoon I brought from home”. That would be kinda cringe and weird if you pick a spoon with a boring basic design. But if you pick the third one with it’s interesting demon handle, it’s gonna make you look mysterious. People are going to wonder and ask you about the story behind the spoon. Women will giggle at you and ask if you’d share the spoon with them.
Secondly, it has the most generally useful shape. Being smaller than the others can be very useful for eating from some containers. It has corners instead of being perfectly round, which allows a bit of scraping. But because the corners are rounded, you don’t have to worry about leaving scratches or carving microplastics out of plastic containers.

You can hide it in a shoebox in your attic and repost it in ten years. Reality is often mundane, but it’s up to us to turn our stories into reality ❤

- Comment on 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real. 4 months ago:
1D and 2D are just mathematical abstractions.
So are all dimensions. The number of dimensions is just an attribute of a vector space, and vector spaces are just models we humans define to describe natural phenomenona. You can claim that some of these models are more useful than others. But at no point does it make sense to claim that a model “exists” or not. There would be no meaning to such a statement, it would contain no information. Not wrong, just nonsensical.
