Same, I did so once. By a sheer act of God I already had another job opportunity lined up from a recommendation by an old co-worker at a new gig they were at, and I landed the job immediately, with a nearly 50% increase in base salary, and

Absolutely based, thank you for sharing this. I know my comment doesn't contribute much here, but if anything, a signal of validation.

DEI is explicitly an anti-White conspiracy that unfortunately ends with it being anti-Black/Brown outcomes, both indirectly and intentionally.

I too prefer to group related items together when I'm organizing drawers or storage compartments of any kind, and if an item has no similar items to live with, it ends up orphaned on a counter or surface somewhere, ultimately risking i

Yikes, and here I thought Twitter is the best it's been in years now that people can share meaningful information again. I guess greed and pet projects trump accountability these days.

I'm sorry you feel this way, and it's easy to become cynical after several failures on that front (I'm assuming) — I know many happily married men with amazing wives who generously allow their husbands to play video games for

Wow, good luck! Hope the dates continue going well, but I bet it's refreshing to be on the same page about that. It's a highly underrated quality for both people to respect each other's time. Too many go into relationships as

Ah yes! Sorry, I should have mentioned that. I am in my early 30's, dated a few women in my late 20's after a long break from dating, and was ultimately not successful. I am reasonably attractive/average, and can strike up a

I think for me, the hardest part is reconciling two things: 1) maybe being _too content_ or satisfied with life's mundanity — the idea of being settled down and spending most of my free time at home with my dog, playing video games, re

The outraged responses to all of these suspensions is pure gold. Contrast this with medical doctors who were banned for sharing their own expertise because it contradicted the prescribed narrative around the pandemic, and realize how absurd

This is ultimately a long awaited revenge against sour activism taken too far, and exposure of alarming things hidden or ignored for ages — things Twitter and its Big Club have been known for for a long time.

Fortunately for Elon, these values are acquired and held just fine among very large communities of people who are following along. His actions have been a breath of fresh air for a significant part of the world population. It just happens t

Doxing a private personal vehicle's location publicly is not free speech.

Valid discussions and critiques on the prescribed narratives are all labeled as "misinformation" conveniently and expressly because the holders of the legacy media narratives are in power and do not wish to be challenged. Common e

The United States, judging by voting numbers in the last 2 Presidential elections. 50% is obviously a rough rounding, and serves as a figure of speech.

"No blogs promoting hate speech, denial of climate change, anti-vax ideas, etc." Well that's a shame, there's quite a few out there that pose credible and interesting questions and discussions around some of these topics

Unfortunately I don't really bookmark tweets so I can share them 1-2 years later with folks who won't bother to search for them, themselves. Sorry, you'll have to take my word for it, and you'll need to have enough inter

I feel the same about Hillary. She shared a conspiracy theory this last week that Paul Pelosi's attacker was a right-wing extremist. It was found later that the alleged "blog" David created wasn't created long ago and wa

I wish the Left experienced the same, then. Large, influential accounts calling for white genocide and education camps publicly with no consequences or media backlash is a travesty.

Bingo! That about sums up my memories of using it every since it went CC-anything. I think CS5 was the last version I used that felt pleasantly performant -- and on older machines, no less (2013 Macbook Air w/ i7, 16GB).

Figma is an excellent example of performance being a top priority to set themselves apart, since they weren't the only player in town at the time. We had Adobe Illustrator, XD was still in beta phases, and Sketch for macOS was showing

Perhaps this is just democracy at play, doing what it's meant to do. I've found that people who interpret a high number of dislikes as "hate campaigns" are usually the ones who agree, if not, applaud the content being di

I can only imagine the downvoters drunkenly sloshing their beer around in despair as they scoff at the makings of their demented world falling apart and people like myself telling it how it is. It's the best form of entertainment; it&#

This is because it's natural for people to view different races as coming from different backgrounds, especially in Medieval fantasy. It's more expected to see several mostly homogeneous nations with unique cultures and offerings

Perhaps it's telling of a highly problematic and sudden shift in society's values that the majority have rejected wholesale, and for good reason. Social (in)justice took the world by storm almost instantly as governments, corporat
