   I've come to the conclusion that any sort of job interview has a high level of subjectivity. Basically as an applicant, you roll the dice and hope that you have a good day and "click" with the interviewer.

   There was a scene in the movie "Don't Look Up" where Leonardo DiCaprio's character talks about losing the family dog. He says, "I've never cried so much before." That was pretty much my experience after lo

    tbh you don’t have to finish the Cosmic Ocean — by that point you’ve experienced the whole game. It’s your own expectation that you need to “finish” that’s causing you grief.

    I’ve gone out of my way to engage socially with co-workers, and I’m not sure any of those relationships ever progressed to the “friend” stage.

    Hah, I went this route a few jobs ago. The TA loved the place, but unfortunately their engineering culture turned out to be complete trash.

    I don't believe Mobile Safari has built-in adblock; IIRC you have to install a 3rd party content blocker. Funnily enough, Firefox Focus works as a content blocker, so when I browse with iOS Firefox it blocks the majority of ads.

    Yeah, I sell stuff for cheap or give it away, so it doesn’t end up in a landfill (for a while longer, at least).

    I agree with this. My personal laptop is a 2010 MacBook Pro, which is way past its expiration date, but was kept usable because I maxed the RAM (8GB) and installed a hybrid SSD. I was/am annoyed that Apple laptops no longer have user-s

    The coins are a "fun" value add thing. You can get small discounts on digital games if you use the gold ones. The silver ones can get you various digital/physical goodies. You're not missing out if you don't use the

    Thanks, I personally find that for these sorts of puzzle games, browser-based is the way to go. I don't particularly want to install yet another app that is a black box in terms of network communication.
