fuck it, general strike when?

no the ocean is safe from crypto if you go deep enough

my horoscope mentioned cryptocurrency.

so um
I guess
I’m just
gonna
walk into the ocean?

aw I love that for them

I can’t believe this is how I find out that the workplace was ruined.

note that there is basically no such thing as a widely-accepted and culturally-revered American image of a blue collar *woman*

oh you’re absolutely right, I forgot about that!

you’re right, and statistics agree with you, I didn’t know that 89% of nurses identified as women, and 77% of teachers. I thought those jobs had gotten more diverse than they actually have.

that pretty much solidifies for me that teachers and nurses *are* the female equivalent of blue collar jobs.

HEY ITS HALLOWEEN AND THE WORLD IS ALREADY A TERRIFYING PLACE RIGHT NOW SO IF TEENAGERS WANT CANDY TONIGHT: GIVE IT TO THEM.

I DONT EVEN CARE IF THEY WEAR A COSTUME. LET THE CHILDREN KNOW THERE IS STILL JOY AND KINDNESS YOU FUCKING MONSTERS.

oh they would have gotten me with this one because I would have demanded a picture without a thought

I know these aren’t gendered jobs, but that perception definitely existed of teachers and nurses a few decades ago and I feel like those count as unionized/blue collar jobs.

for the folks jealous of Southern California weather:

it is October 29th, the high today is 90 degrees and the low is 57.

If your company is a heavy Python user and has surplus budget to assign before EOY, now’s a great time for an unrestricted donation…

now please go take a nap or something

I finally just subscribed so I could come back here and tell you that your fear is not based on fact.

every single person who leaves a company leaves behind a locked trunk of tech debt in the form of “things only they knew.”

if you think “AI will solve this!” I actually have a special oil you might be interested in purchasing, I collect it from snakes for this very reason.

tell me again how AI is going to solve the incidents that humans can’t, when the knowledge you’d use to train the AI walked out the door two years ago in the head of human who wanted different working conditions?

I hate to tell you this, but it’s gonna take all week to feel rested again, my on call friends.

the amount of interdependency on each other’s services in tech, coupled with the fact that most people don’t change their default region in AWS from us-east-1, means that even if you don’t have a single service running in that region, someone in your engineering org still got paged last night.

hugops to uhhhhhhh everybody?

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

oh I believe it, and I will continue to have nightmares of being on calls like that, and I will continue to have to know everything about it.

I had to come back here to tell you this call *did* come up in a dream last night. you did warn me, I listened anyway. like the video from the ring.

oh hell yeah I was looking for new slippers yesterday!

BIG BOAT STUCK

Thank you big boat, we needed this.

every time I go to a spa I feel like it’s only a matter of time before they’ll go “hey! who let you in here?” and fish me out with one of those pool skimmers an toss me over the fence like I’m a frog that found a jacuzzi.

hockey games, the only socially acceptable place to scream at a bunch of white guys to do a better job.
