boooooooorrrrrrriiiiinnng. lets just get to the cleanup or I can just arrive after the bs or leave once it starts depending on the front/backend.

my favorite is a crispy one that for some reason seemed associated with christmass.

As an athiest not exactly defensive but more like, how about we appreciate it without the mumbo jumbo. I can't see making cleanups and such mandatory but I love them as social activities. If I can walk my dog and socialize with folks and cleanup a nice natural area thats like a triple win.

Unfortunately my wife did not like any when we tried a few years ago. I have contemplated getting something like a pedicab.

I still can't believe my past youthful vision of an improving toward a utopian future compared to my trying to hold onto basic rights and democracy in my actual old man present.

Im so screwed.

I should have switched to linux a few years back as I was on windows due to having the same system as my wife to ease tech support duties. That changed and lazyness kept me static until windows 11 being forced forward that got me to change in the last year. Main regret was not getting my but in gear and doing it a few years sooner.

Not me. I have 0% layoff anxiety being unemployed and all.

It sorta looks like some structures in dogtown from the cyberpunk dlc.

This. I am seeing 40's for entry level in tech. This pretty much puts it at the point were everything people fled to go to tech was at. Im also seeing larger wages more for management than technical ability.

I find the tone of these articles as desperately trying to point to any negative as inconsequential and every positive as the sure thing. It reminds me of many things like the 08 housing market and such. Trying to prop up sentiment.

I definately feel this way. Outside of the federation my use of the net now is just paper work, technical work, meida streaming, and video games. Which is a lot of but the fediverse goes tits up and nothing like it comes to pass my only social media involvment will be as necessary (my condo has a facebook page and job searching sites are technically [and creepily] social media but I just put in applications and don't look at the feed I don't want.)
