This is in Blackpool, England, a bit south of the station Waterloo Road where Waterloo Road (the actual road) meets the Promenade. The coordinates are (roughly) 53.7984, -3.0557 if you want to check it out. The double-decker tram is a “Balloon” by English Electric.
An elevator music job is exactly what I want. Something that I can do four days a week, that doesn’t totally suck, and that I don’t have to think about when I’m not at work. Add work-from-home and I’ll be the happiest fella around. My big issue with my “career” is that I’m about to graduate with a degree that’s not entirely useless but very general, if that makes sense. There will always be someone with more adequate, more specific qualifications than me, and because there are very few jobs in my field that I wouldn’t hate, my options are extremely limited. My current job would fit the bill fairly well if it paid better, but the company only hires students for it, and if I wanted to stay with them after graduating, I’d need to become something like a team leader. Add that I’ll definitely be one of the first to go if they run into financial hardships, and it doesn’t feel like a viable career any more.
That’s why I’m thinking about doing an apprenticeship in a completely different field that has way more job opportunities that are, on average, better paid and more secure. It’s still a scary thought, though. I’ve been in the “trying to find myself” phase for so long, but my interests change so rapidly that I never really pursue anything for long enough to actually find myself in any of it.
I agree that working conditions are often hostile to human nature, and I guess our entire economic system needs a major overhaul to create a world where people like the 26-year-old woman you mention don’t see themselves forced to do things like that (it’s also really fucking with my head whenever I hear that someone who’s younger than me has died). I try my best to put myself in a position where I’ll never have to even think about doing that because of a job, and I definitely have the kind of mindset that puts work last, but living in a world like this is extremely taxing nonetheless. It’s not just the body perpetuating existence that’s so hard. It’s the extreme mental strain of living under conditions that make perpetuating existence so difficult that is really taking its toll on me.
And I appreciate your old fart advice. Thank you <3
Can you book one for me, too? I’ve been telling myself to do that for over a year now.
Me when I want to switch careers before my “career” has even begun and I actually don’t want to have a career at all :)
What am I doing with my life
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone fuck up this bad”
Thank youuu :3c
Making it part of a video series is a fun idea. I know that artist, and I can understand how recontextualising their work like that might make it more acceptable in the eyes of an audience.
tbh I’m not really “opposed” to art that features NC play, and I even like a lot of it, but sometimes, when I have nothing else to do, I think about how messed up it would be to do these things irl, and these thoughts are pretty sobering for a moment. But this type of art is just fantasy, and I know the difference between fantasy and reality.
The ethics behind some of the scenes in yiff are questionable, but I choose to believe that they’re RPing uwu
Pony gear with full-body latex is something else, and I’m really into that. 100racs is one of those artist that manage to hit my sweet spot almost every single time :3
God, same, I’m such a slut for cake 🤤
Adding to my CV: valuable contributions to numerous projects on github
“They do what they love and share the rest” is the kind of world I want to live in <3
That’s my biggest problem with self-checkouts. There’s always a weird payment service provider behind them who wants to share whatever they can with their 3621 partners. I guess the same is true when you use anything but cash, including card payments at regular tills, but at least they give you the option to pay with cash. Self-checkouts usually don’t (but a few do!).
I… think I got carried away a bit :3c
Feeling guilty for spending money sucks so much. Sure, a reusable water bottle without microplastics and whatnot is a great investment, but if I had just kept reusing plastic bottles, I could’ve saved money, and that money might’ve been useful elsewhere. I’m happy I bought the bottle, but it took me a long time to convince myself to do it.
Is this a Microsoft joke that I’m too LibreOffice to understand?
- A bug in Microsoft 365 version 2409 is auto-deleting Word documents while saving.
- The bug affects those documents that have capitalized “DOCX” file extension or include “#” in the file name.
- Thankfully, the file is moved to the Recycle Bin which can be restored. For now, you can rename the file extension to avoid the bug.
That’s interesting. I don’t know anything about programming, but it’s always funny how a small change somewhere can break software like this.
We could do a “refer a friend” kind of thing. Maybe the werewolf bf knows somewolf who’d be interested in a job like this, and then it snowballs from there.
Can I invest in this enterprise?
And be your first customer? :3
Aww shucks. But I believe in you <3
