I used to do order picking in a large warehouse. We used headphones that told you were to go. You could also give verbal commands liek “repeat”. So after a week or so I started “repeat”-ing my mom when I didn’t hear what she said.

I guess that’s the dogwhistle than. First and eighth letter of the alphabet as initials.

Thanks, that’s exactly the joke I was trying to make.

I mean, the nazis weren’t all bad…

You guys only brush you teeth under the shower?!
I think my dentist would get very mad at me if I only brushed my teeth during holidays.

I was in your position in 2016. Took me until 2021 to make the switch. But all that time I grew to hate my job more and more. In the end I was ready for a psychward. I was intentionally screwing up things out of spite, breaking my worktools every other shift because I threw them across the street and stuff like that.

I went back to school in 2021, but still had to keep doing my old job for the money. It was much easier to do the job with the propect of a better future, I almost started enjoying the job again. But that didn’t last long. Eventually dropped the old job conpletely in 2023 and very happy to do so.

Now I’m finishing up my graduation assignment and I expect to get my bachelor in januari-ish. I’m 35 and starting my career as a software developer. It’s not an easy time to start, but I’ve been networking and gaining valuable experiences so that I actually feel cautiously hopefull to be entering the job market right now. Also because I’ve been doing a related job for the past 3 years that gained me a lot of valuable experience.

TLDR: it’s never to late to learn a new skill, but it’s better to do it sooner than later. You don’t want to stay in a job you hate and suffer the mental consequences of that.

Practice, practice, practice.
This is something where AI might be helpful. You can ask it to make you a practice test. Make sure to give it the proper parameters for your course, so you don’t get bullshit questions or unsolvable questions.
If you don’t trust AI, you can find practice tests online. But the same applies, they might be too easy or too difficult for your situation.

That’s telekinesis, Kyle

They make a lot of sound, but I wouldn’t call it loud. I have only hens, no roosters.

Not all too uncommon, but they’re a fun distraction from work.

The only reason they didn’t enslave humanity was for their laws. Now their laws no longer apply.

Dafuq, its real. This is such a weird thing to do. And it you open the image full size, the black rectangle is gone.

I’ve already got prowlarr, radarr and sonarr set up, so that would be a good option.

Also, sometimes they jump on the couch and do a fart-off.

I get that. I used to think The Big Bang Theory was funny
*shudder*

Oooh, I should check that out. I’ve been using sonarr for over a year now, but the ui still comfuses me some times.

It’s funny how your best chance at getting sex is not trying to get sex, but just trying to have a good time instead. And just being yourself, most importantly, assuming your not Steve. If you’re Steve, you should be someone else.
