    Oh. Gmod brain rot.

    There’s an interesting underlying message that I’m not sure is intentional, but yeah. Bunch of skibidi toilet “fun times” against the monitoring state engaged in war.

    To me that says the only place where you’re unmonitored in on the shitter, which is accurate given how much of a walled Garden we, the “adults” put together for kids doing remote learning by locked down Chromebooks during COVID. Seems like the youth putting these together were expressing their frustration with basically having no freedom to express themselves or even explore and have fun during the lockdown because of all the restrictions in place; not just the restrictions related to COVID, but all of the restrictions that parents and teachers had the opportunity to enforce very strictly partly due to COVID lockdowns.

    It’s a fascinating artistic statement from a pre-AI “art” era of only a few years ago.

    10/10. Would skibidi again.

    I don’t expect to retire.

    I’ll probably be found at my desk on a Monday, not even first thing, but like, at 11:45, after dying there sometime Friday afternoon, and people just thought I was “working late” and left for the weekend, while I’m a literal corpse.

    Whatever. I’m over it. I won’t have any fucks left to give when that happens because I won’t be alive to give any fucks.





  • Days in lieu, from working OT on salary… IMO, is required.

    I don’t work for free; if you’re paying me to be present for specific hours, regardless if it’s salary or not, then I expect to work during those hours and not any other time.

    If, as a salary employee, I’m paid for results and as long as I meet my deadlines (and deadlines are reasonable) I can work whenever, then yeah, I’ll probably put in unpaid OT sometimes. I’ll tell you something though… With my level of experience, it would be unusual for anything to take so long that it requires that I work more than what is typical.









  • Let’s stop mincing words here.

    You want me because I have a particular set of skills that you think will be helpful to you in your pursuit of profit.

    I want your job because I can leverage the skills I have for money and benefits that will provide food, and shelter.

    Your main concerns are profits.

    My main concerns are survival.

    Employment is where these things meet in the middle. Let’s not pretend that we’re here because we’re friends. We are not family. Fuck you, pay me.
