  • That last paragraph hits home, but in a sad way for me. I spent most of the last year working on a new project to streamline one of the biggest time sinks we have, and as we’re coming up on having an MVP ready to start beta testing, my org just dumped the entire team other than 1 guy. So I lost the guy who was my peer/dba on the project, and the dude who knows how to run the driver software.

    Going to try to see if we can salvage what we made since it’s still needed, but fuck that wrecks a ton of time and effort. And really sucks cuz my team had to pick up the slack while I was trying to get this working, and we don’t even have anything to show for it…

    my disagreements with the Christian community at large are a big part (but not the only part) of why I’m no longer a Christian. The guy I read about and the guy they seem to be thinking of are two different people.

    Same. I still remember the day that I basically paraphrased a Jesus quote in a discussion of current events with my family, and someone asked me if I was some kind of communist and multiple others piled on with no one coming to my defense.

    Apparently, actually believing the shit they taught me makes me some kind of radical…




  • We are a subset of a subset of internet users, you rarely heard people in the wild advertising Reddit either.

    Not to go full ‘Eternal September’, but I would almost argue that around the time reddit was talked about on more mainstream platforms is around the time that reddit started going down hill. Subs started getting harder to keep on track and moderation began going off the rails.

    On the plus side, shit like “le narwal bacons at midnight” started to die off too, so it wasn’t all bad I guess.
