Doxylamine succinate is very very bad for your liver. Do not recommend.
Though if you pair it with Vitamin B6 you have an amazing anti-nausea medication. Highly recommend. -

Gnome? Ugh! Yuck.
Overly “user friendly” (simplified) for me.
Also: the devs hate you, you know. -

Always puts me in a better mood. -
@jestdotty Kind (if empty) words are still nice when you feel ignored and/or demeaned continually.
-
@zoridan Thanks; I really appreciate the sentiment. I’m just hoping I can like something else up first.
Finding another employer hasn’t been going well, though with my abysmal mental health I’ve barely been able to force myself to apply anywhere.
I managed to get … most of this nightmare above working (though the numbers are all wrong; yet another mystery to solve) thanks to the catharsis. -
Rejected? Try ridiculed for them in front of the entire engineering department by the engineering VP (or my direct manager), and later having to endure listening to that same engineering VP (or thundercunt manager) praise his (or her) favorite golden boy for the very same fking idea. And then they miraculously forget that I ever suggested it, and get really angry when I show them slack history.
This (and similar scenarios) have happened so many times that I’ve simply stopped suggesting anything.

@dllsethr I’ve been through hell at $work and treated like shit for years, and it only ever gets worse. I’m fucking done.
-
I’ve been living in that state for six years. 0/10 do not recommend.
-
Your diet.
-
I don’t like hairy legs.
-
Man. I live in a really religious area so I can’t get any of this.
@Demolishun how do you manage? -
With the proper resources and motivation, I’m sure I could make it happen.
-
@Wisecrack I’d say I missed you, but I haven’t been around either. (Still definitely missed you and your antics.)
-
I really need to do this.
And it’s gotten so incredibly bad lately — like having mental breaks where I turn into a useless blob for days.
I’ve completely withdrawn from everything and everyone, too (which is why I haven’t been around here lately).
I don’t remember what fun is, or how to enjoy anything. Wake, shower, work, cook, clean, sleep, repeat. Sometimes I get to eat, but usually it’s just cooking for kids.
Ergh. -
@Demolishun That’s awesome. I usually put down Irish because “White” gets you discriminated against nowadays. Maybe I should start saying Native American. I was born here, and damn close to the reservations, too.
-
Fix your diet, dude.
-
@Demolishun I didn’t trust those, and with good reason seeing as they got bought out.
-
@Demolishun Shit, you’re more Irish than me! I’m half Irish half German. And a tiny bit English on my Irish side. (Some estranged princess like 10 generations back)
-
Honestly, that’s just funny.
Next! -
@jestdotty Yes, there was some drama and the guy in question trashtalked me to a lot of people — my manager, other managers, my coworkers, random other people in the company, execs, etc. He also refused to say even a word to me after, which was awkward as hell because he was the product owner I was working for. He later left the company, and while it was smoothed over and hushed quite a bit, he apparently didn’t leave on good terms. But this was years ago, and my decline in company popularity continued. I mean, once the damage is done there’s no real fixing it, especially if the people in question haven’t interacted with you before.
I hope he gets robbed and shanked in his villa. -
Sounds familiar.
I’ve been at the same hellish job for five years. 3% (max) raise per year. No promotions, despite watching countless morons get praised and promoted. They hired me as a senior, but didn’t use titles at the time; when HR phased titles in, they apparently never got around to me despite verbal promises from management, so I defaulted to “software engineer.”
Anyway. Over the past three years, my assigned projects have been less and less interesting, to the point I’m now working on basically janitorial crap. I don’t get to fix anything, just clean up the messes, and make the messes faster. “Nothing else is available” they say. Uh-huh.
Juniors (ostensibly seniors by their titles) get to extend my previous projects, and they copy/paste my code and add little bits to it, replete with typos and riddled with performance problems.
And the above saps all of my energy, leaving nothing left for escaping. It’s hell. -
@CaptainRant No. Yes.
-
@kiki Evanescence?
-
@AvatarOfKaine I’m married and have kids, you gump.
Also, considering where you call home, I doubt “handsome” is an apt description. Though, honestly, I wouldn’t know a handsome turtle if I saw one. -
@AvatarOfKaine Shit lad, if you’re looking for a way back home, you really should decide if home is Galapagos with the other turtles, or Madagascar with the other lemurs. … Which are you, again?
-
@AvatarOfKaine Probably, but I won’t. Also, screw Python.
-
@AvatarOfKaine 🗡️🤨

I loathe jetbrains as well. It’s clunky and cumbersome and unintuitive. also heavy. Do not like.

@blindXfish My condolences
