  • I work in tech. Most people I work with pick their own hours but are in office during core hours (10-4), some (like me) will do a pretty strict 9-5, I’ve seen some do 6-6 (eew). There’s def a type of people who do more hours to try and get ahead or impress, but I don’t think it’s worth it.

    I think if I ever worked somewhere with strict arrival or departure requirements I would leave. I’m an adult and work will get done, too much external control will strangle that.








  • Anytime someone sneezes, he runs into the room, makes eye contact, and meows kinda loud once. If you don’t acknowledge him, he may continue ‘murr’-ing if he likes you, until you do say thank you or pet him. It’s really fricken cute. I think it’s because my wife sneezes a lot and we’re very consistent with ‘bless you’ and 'thank you’s ourselves. Neither of us are religious or superstitious, so it’s kinda silly, but it seems polite






  • But you can, there’s literally no one judging the individual words you choose to use in non (purposefully) offensive ways… Oh wait

    Language is fluid, it changes over time. Trying to lock down something so strictly that it offends you if it’s used in a way you’re not familiar or comfortable with seems to me like exactly what you’re trying to to fight. Sexuality is fluid and can change over time, you wouldn’t be upset if someone wanted to change their pronouns, so let’s let the entirety of humanity decide to change the definition of a word.

    Honestly, you do you booboo. Pick the fights you want to fight, but I get the feeling a lot of people disagree with you. I hope some day you live in the world you envision your happiness, because you deserve it. I just hope your version of happiness isn’t forcing everyone into your box





  • I’ve had issues like this (but with Bluetooth) resolved by unplugging the computer from the wall, and holding the power button for a few seconds to clear out the capacitors.

    If it’s a laptop that’s a bit harder to do, but might be worth a consider.

    I haven’t gone so far as to figure out why this fix works, but it’s happened a few times now and i can’t deny results
