If you're straight, you can pretty much just leave this place right away. This is queer heaven. I'm only here because, apparently, queers really like computers.

What to do if you're 40 and you've realised you can't stand office work at all because you have #ADHD, but the only job experience you have is 13 years of being a software engineer?
Add to that the constraint that you can't go to school to re-educate yourself because school is just office work you don't get paid for?
What kind of job can you even get in that situation? I've been thinking about that for 4 years now and I don't have any good answers for that. 🤷‍♂️

Contrary to popular belief, women can have a moustache, and hairy legs. It's up to them to decide to shave. As a man, I don't pay all that much attention to it. Is she a good person? Does she hug me? I'm more concerned about that.

One of the groups I liked as a kid was the Gorillaz.

A part of me doesn't want to join that CNA/LPN program I applied for. I have an interview on Thursday. It's a way to make a living. I'd be able to find work anywhere.
The part of me that doesn't want to do it has this idée fixe that it could do something great with its life, intellectually or artistically. "Could" though. I mostly do nothing, and no one cares. I have little to show for those ambitions.
The program would be the realistic option of turning a nobody into a somebody. It's a trajectory.

What's weird about making agreements about the distribution of stuff you made is that you can end up reaching very different agreements with different people, for reasons that are hard to explain, and if the other guy finds out, he might feel unfairly treated. I can see how wages can end up being so different for similar positions in the same business. Without hard and fast rules, conversations about the same thing can take very different directions, depending on the person and their starting point.

2024-03-12 19:53:27 CET

I did something that the CEO friend I lunch with didn't like very much. He doesn't want to meet me anymore. I don't think it's a big deal, but he does. Personally, I think he's being a giant stick-in-the-mud about it. He's a tad more conventional than me. Not exactly adventurous or spontaneous, or he wouldn't be a CEO, would he. Said my behaviour "isn't normal" and other things. Of course it isn't fucking normal. It's funny how you can have all these conversations with a person, but they still don't know you, even after all that time.

I've been on both sides of the artist/fan copyright divide. It's a tricky subject. Emotionally speaking, it's flattering when your stuff is remixed, but it also feels like they stole it from you behind your back. If they ask first, it's different, but people rarely do that. And I haven't always asked myself. I'm of two minds about this. All I can say is that I'm personally more lenient if a polite email comes in about it than if it doesn't. #artist #musicproduction

There are people who are rock'n'roll and people who are not so rock'n'roll. The two don't get along well. I had a very anti-rock'n'roll job as a computer programmer. You can't have any fun in a job like that. Everybody just freaks out at your energy and creativity. "Oh no, this is getting out of hand!"

@npub1mu8…e44z It would have been better with olive oil but I don't buy much of that. It's usually canola (rapeseed) oil I keep around the house. Olive oil isn't as flexible. Sometimes, I fry things at high temperatures, or I need oil that doesn't change the taste, etc.

The West does not appear willing to send more money and weapons to Ukraine. Saw an interesting figure the other day which shows that the EU has actually sent more money to Ukraine than the United States has. Europe's got the stronger interest in Ukraine but the weaker weapons industry.
