- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 2 days ago:
I just check email all day. Like that’s 80% of my job. My entire job could be done from anywhere. I don’t do as single thing that isn’t in my laptop. But I still sit at a stupid cubicle.
- Comment on CVE fallout: The splintering of the standard vulnerability tracking system has begun 1 week ago:
I’m don’t trust any .gov sites anymore. If I’m researching and I see that it’s a government site, I move on. I can’t trust that info.
The whole thing is scary

Fez! I love the low stress puzzle game. I think it’s beautiful and smart. I love that it was made by one guy. It’s too bad he got burnt out and quit. He is very talented.

You too!

I would disagree with your premise but it’s not your fault. It’s my fault for not explaining it clearly
I don’t think not knowing something makes you stupid. Humans can’t know everything. We all have strengths and weaknesses. I know about taxes, but I don’t know shit about cooking. He cooks dinner, I deal with the bureaucracy situations.
Also, I’m don’t know if you’ve ever spent time with someone who struggles with ADHD and Neurodivergence but their brains don’t work like others. They can’t force themselves to do things that other people can tough out. They can study all night but if their brain can’t stay on track, they won’t be able to retain it.
When I come along and start telling him how tax brackets work, especially if he didn’t ask me, hes going to be frustrated and he’s not going to get through it easily.
I don’t know if he just doesn’t want to work OT and has settled on this excuse or if there is some other issue but it doesn’t matter. If he doesn’t want to work OT, that’s okay!
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 5 weeks ago:
That’s fair. I appreciate your concern for me!
He’s not always like that. I didn’t mean to make him sound like a jerk. I just meant to relate to the topic of tax confusion with personal experience.
He had pretty severe ADHD and struggles with some topics. It’s okay! I deal with the money stuff and he cooks dinner. :)
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 5 weeks ago:
You’re absolutely right. I cant speak for anyone else, as I don’t live there but I highly doubt the US is an exception.
Rather than being mad at each other, I want to make sure we hold the right people accountable! Governments, corporations, billionaires etc.
It’s a form of oppression.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 5 weeks ago:
This is true for many people I’ve talked to, but he does understand, on a basic level, how the brackets work. When it comes to the calculation parts, I think he gets frustrated with all the rules.
But it’s okay! I’m good at stuff like that and he can build pretty much anything. We all have our strengths. :)
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 5 weeks ago:
Nah. He’s not an idiot. But he is impatient. He doesn’t handle paperwork or anything involving patience well. (ADHD)
I also think taxes in the US are intentionally over complicated and confusing. I don’t struggle with things like that but I can empathize with people who do.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 5 weeks ago:
Exactly, and it also depends on what withholding you have requested.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 5 weeks ago:
Nah. He’s not a bad person or a dummy. He just gets frustrated by bureaucracy and doesn’t have the patience I have.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I definitely didn’t leave this in school. I know about it from reading articles on tax brackets. _(‘’)/
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 5 weeks ago:
This is the problem. My partner doesn’t want to work OT because he thinks it will cost him more in taxes. I explain why that’s not exactly true, but I can tell he’s not interested. Financial Literacy in the US is abysmal.

- Comment on Amazon Restricted Vaginal Health Products for Being ‘Potentially Embarrassing’ 1 month ago:
Once I order tampons on Amazon. They just put a shipping label directly on a single box.
I’m not embarrassed by stuff like that, but how weird.
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code 2 months ago:
I suspect there are a lot of people who chased dollars with boot camps. They lack critical thinking skills, and don’t value curiosity and learning, which are pretty important to this field.
If they don’t know where to start and aren’t excited by figuring it out, they aren’t going to have a great time.
- Comment on Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this? 2 months ago:
I realized this during the 2016 election. People always say they are voting against their own interests, but their only real interest is to spite someone else. Hurting other people is a win, for them.

Birds can make two sounds at once! They harmonize with themselves! I think that’s incredible. Sometimes when you hear a some birds calling to each other, it’s actually just one bird.
I learned about it during this podcast!

Yeah, I can’t see the instance sidebar in the app I’m using. I found the info on the website. Thanks though!
- Comment on Lemm.ee is recruiting new admins! 3 months ago:
Weird. I’m not seeing it. I checked the sidebar before I asked. I’m using an app. Maybe that’s why. I’ll check it in the browser.

Is there a location with the administration policy clearly written or is it communicated over a series of posts in this meta?

They do it for marijuana laws but won’t treat anything else like that. I don’t understand.
- Comment on Bluesky hits 20 million users 5 months ago:
About 15 years ago, I moved to a city where I didn’t know anyone. I joined Twitter because I like to try new apps as early as possible. It turned out to be a great place to talk about live music in my city, amongst other things. I met all my friends on Twitter.
At that time in my city, it was very much the town square that Elon wants it to be now. It was a place to discuss events in realtime; especially sporting events.
I suspect the advantage for Twitter was that you could communicate with people you didn’t know directly like celebrities, authors, politicians, etc. Not just write to them, but they write back because sending off a short message is much easier than making a call or writing a letter. Sometimes that is an unhealthy parasocial relationship but, it doesn’t have to be.
Kevin Smith basically started writing the movie Tusk in a collaborative way with Twitter.
- Comment on Weekends were a mistake, says Infosys co-founder Narayama Murthy 5 months ago:
That sucks. I work for a company that does that too but I don’t get reprimanded for doing it this way. I hope you are able to figure out a what works best for you and that they’ll let you take it.
- Comment on Weekends were a mistake, says Infosys co-founder Narayama Murthy 5 months ago:
Instead of taking traditional vacation throughout the year, I started taking as many Wednesdays as I can for this exact reason. I picked Wednesday specifically because no one else is off to need my attention and I can actually focus on my own chores or my mental health.
Two days is not enough for me to get caught up.

Yup. And not just those voters. It’s an issue in most groups.
There are even plenty of women that won’t vote for a woman.

Would liberals support him? Sure.
Would liberals support her? No.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 5 months ago:
Deer aren’t edge cases. If you are in a rural community or the suburbs, deer are a daily way of life.
As more and more of their forests are destroyed, deer are a daily part of city life. I live in the middle of a large midwestern city; in neighborhood with houses crowded together. I see deer in my lawn regularly.
