"All violent crimes are committed by mentally ill people, because a mentally healthy person wouldn't do that" says my best friend from high school on Facebook and I turn and silently walk into the sea.
About to start as a senior at a company that does something that seems... at least morally neutral? Which is as much as I hope for from tech jobs, really. We do data analysis on the job market and alumni networks so college career counselors have actual facts to back up their advice.
Feels more "real" at least. And universities are good clients to have with a looming tech recession. Way rather be here than in yet another SaaS or PaaS startup.
Tomorrow is my last day working at a truly incompetent and pointless company for incompetent and pointless clients. We just exist to drink the milkshake of wannabe "founders" with terrible ideas and turn them into underbudgeted shitty apps.
Morally, I'm fine with it, it's just dumb rich people wasting $ and it was a really good place to build out my skillset, I basically got to do whatever I wanted, but I started to believe I wasn't a "real" dev and could only work somewhere kind of shady.
@breakfastgolem was it the music video? That video is gross. I like NIN a lot, but I kinda forgot what was on the Closer video, and I showed it to my girlfriend and she was absolutely horrified. Bad moment.
It's so charming and quaint that we still label songs and albums that have cuss words in them.
Like, little kids have uncensored access to the whole ass internet and everything on it. That fight got lost sooo long ago. But we're still going to put a little icon next to a song where someone sings the word "fuck."
@Thomas * or someone who bought some future cards from someone who received them by mistake. I don't remember the chain of custody, but my understanding is that no actual espionage or subterfuge was involved, someone got sent the wrong box and a YouTuber wound up with it.
@Thomas yeah, they had no actually legal way to demand that someone who was shipped some future cards by mistake turn them back over, so they sent hired goons to go intimidate them out of them.
