    It’s a slow trickle. It’s like the research that was done into gambling addicts. The majority of dopamine doesn’t come from winning. The majority of it comes from the anticipation. Or in our case. Writing out a long comment that no one else will read.

    My friend. You are in the Memes sub and taking something too literally.

    People are blowing off steam here. No one wants to literally nuke all of Israel. Palestinians would die as well.

    Now if we could group up all the IDF into an area and do a mini nuke. Maybe.

    ^Another joke. See? Blowing off steam. See how it works?

    Edit: nvm, read more of your comments. You seem to just be a liberal Zionist doing liberal Zionist things. Carry on.

    Would be better if they actually made new movies with different cultures stories instead of just remaking the old shit too.

    They do this outrage bait on purpose though. American society is brain rotted and we need a cause to support or hate. Even in children’s movies.


  • I have done this. But when I cook my wife really loves the smell and starts getting hangry. Think it makes me rush it.

    Its even worse with a toddler now lol.

    I can do what you’re describing but I’ll realize I could have been cooking something for the 20 minutes I was doing prep for the next part. Can’t get the stages down well enough unless it’s something I’ve cooked a lot of times.




  • My company got acquired by them. Not only did half our company get laid off. But the company was also sold for pennies on the dollar of what my coworkers bought their options for (I never exercised them. Way to much risk and I was right).

    But a lot of people believed in a company that was aquiring customers. Especially when we got Microsoft as a customer. So, a lot of people were “encouraged to exercise their options as talk of a large order for our product from Microsoft was in talks”. Literally managers talking about how they were buying options so they could sell at long term capital gains.

    Instead of being a customer though they ended up buying us out as we lost investors after COVID. Half the company was laid off. I survived somehow.

    This was around the time that Israel began it’s genocide in Gaza. My hatred towards our small companies leaders and Microsoft was peak. I was fully remote and spent two years collecting a paycheck. The acquisition ended up throwing away all my previous work and I got placed in a “middleman” position that basically didn’t need to exist. Somehow I did almost no work for two years and didn’t get fired. I joined meetings, and basically just sat as a middleman communicating requirements between a team from the old company with the current Microsoft team.

    Not until I started being active in criticism in Microsoft’s support of genocide in Gaza. That’s when suddenly I was told I "hadn’t met expectations and they said I had ‘abandoned’ my job. I was literally a remote worker and continued responding to all work requests. So I was fired but without any chance of unemployment.

    So, yeah, I hate this company with a burning passion. Not only are their practices of company acquisition completely parasitic but they are actively enabling the slaughter of children in Gaza.

    Tech companies aren’t “tech” companies. They are all war and genocide profitiers. I don’t think I can work in this industry anymore. And it’s nearly impossible to find a small company that isn’t already connected to these tech oligarchs in a major way. And if they aren’t they aren’t hiring.

    Fuck Microsoft. Fuck Israel. Fuck Capitalism. Fuck this country.

    I just finished explaining this too lol. It won’t work for people that have a ton of different shoes they choose. Or people that wear shoes in the house (gross). But if you’re a primarily single pair shoe person that always puts shoes on as the last thing before leaving. It is THE BEST way to not forget the thing you need. Basically reduces the chance I pick it up and put it down (and forget it) down to 0.

    Putting things in my shoes is my go to. I don’t wear shoes in the house so it’s always the last thing I do before going out the door. If I put the thing on the door handle I’ll just not see it. I can physically open my door without having to grab something handing from it. If they are physically in my shoes I have to actually grab the thing as the very last thing I do. So it reduces the chance I’ll set it down and forget it.

    I also only ever wear one pair of shoes unless I’m going to the gym or something. So no real worry of choosing the wrong shoes.

    You’re not screwing over your coworkers. Your company/boss is by not (1) not paying you more for the value you bring or (2) they’re not prepared to have you leave.

    Its not your fault at all and you shouldn’t feel bad. Hell, you should use it as leverage along with a job offer to get a massive pay raise.

    DO NOT do prep work for your company for free in your last few weeks if they are not asking you to. Do as little work as possible. You are the value. Not your scripts. Charge them $200/hr if they come crying after you leave.

    It’s not something appreciated until you’re gone sadly.

    My first job out of college was at Cisco. I worked on the software team but all our work was done on hardware in remote labs. So a lot of the job was just getting connected to that hardware in lab.

    I wrote a bunch of scripts to automate reservation of hardware, remote power cycle, running tests. It was all initially to make my life easier. Would get asked to share them by other engineers.

    Eventually after 4 years I had a complete library written that our entire team was using. I wonder if they’re still being used today. I liked writing those scripts and helping other engineers more than my actual job.

    If those scripts broke after I left I would assume the entire team probably lossed productivity significantly.

    I think if you lack critical thinking skills but have all your material needs met, have a non alienating job that is satisfying, and aren’t constantly seeking answers for why your life sucks (that the media loves to provide in the form of lies), you’re probably going to be pretty happy.

    I guess my point is that it’s not necessarily the lack of critical thinking alone. It’s the combination of that with people’s material circumstances.

    Basically I’m just describing that I see it through a lense of dialectical materialism.

    It’s why I want racist or homophobic idiots to also have free universal healthcare, education, and a fulfilling job. Because I don’t think you can solely “educate” away the conditions that lead people to look for answers to their poor conditions. Answers that Twitter Nazis and media outlets are happy to fill with xenophobia and bigotry.

    White working class people definitely still have privileges and advantages. But you can’t educate away their feelings of “well, my parents owned a house at 19 and lived off a single salary. I’m driving for Uber and have 3 roommates”. And the bigotries are there to offer them reasons for why it’s not their own failure and (most importantly) why it’s not the failures of capitalism.

    One thing at my last job that killed me was the security requirements for login. I would spend a week procrastinating and then be met with having to do multifactor verification to get access to the source code again. But it was this massive headache involving git credentials, the companies own “security” software, all wrapped inside of a virtual machine that needed additional steps, on top of the software just straight up not working randomly.

    But I digress. The details aren’t too important as long as it’s understood it’s a headache.

    This shit literally just stopped me from working. It was so much hassle between other emails to reply to and distractions that I would literally spend a day getting logged back in correctly, end my day. And then just lose all motivation to work for awhile after.

    I am not meant for this type of environment. It literally makes my brain turn to mashed potatoes.

    So, to actually respond to your comment. Sometimes the “small things” are fucking massive for me. Like the hardest hurdles to get over. Because I get so frustrated or bored with them that I just lose all interest.
