I originally went to college to be a high school teacher but went into computer science when I found it. I had one semester where I was a geology major and a computer science minor (thought I could be an earth science/computer teacher), but decided I didn’t want to go in for something else just to be able to teach computers.
Eventually decided to do computers all the way and no regrets. Sometimes our dream jobs aren’t what we think I they will be.
Fun story, on the university website my freshman year, I first signed up under ‘Phys Teaching’ thinking “oh I love physics”. Turns out it was Physical Education Teaching. Yeah no
Agreed, and it could also be changed dreams. Maybe got older and found other interests. I feel like the comic could read just as well as a being surprised how far my chosen course was from what I used to want
I used to want to be a teacher, and would still consider it, but the drop in pay would be abysmal
Weirdly all the jobs I’ve gotten in tech came from LinkedIn recruiters reaching out, not from me actually applying. Never seem to get reached out to when I apply.
I feel like if Microsoft had been much faster to Market (like faster than Android), they could have gotten business users and companies to switch to them. By the time they came, people were invested in iOS or Android and business users who had switched from BlackBerry went to iOS
I work in tech, but for a financial company so what I’ve gathered is from required compliance training.
Large financial institutions are obligated to block and report attempted transactions on blocked accounts. That would likely include blocks on trading accounts I imagine.
As far as actually seizing it, I don’t have solid info but in a mostly digital finance world it probably just involves transferring access and ownership controls to a government entity (by the institutions).
Hope that helps
Monty Python worthy
I remember that one
Sweet!
Gotcha. Thanks.
Do we know what they are butthurt about? There is never an excuse for what they are doing, but I’m curious what happened to set it off if a reason I known
Got a 1 year old with RSV (literally turns 1 on the 3rd). She is going to need a lot of care and attention. Then my 5 year old too who is recovering from being sick, but maybe some crafts and coloring
Fair enough. I use Facebook due to certain people only using it (and for the marketplace). I’m a millennial and wa off Facebook for awhile.
X (twitter has definitely seen better days
Agreed. I asked on a different one of these posts who this is and what he did. Really shouldn’t spam multiple communities with no context)
I want a game that is a standard sci fi/fantasy RPG, except the main characters each suffer from a mental health condition that affects their gameplay (and of course the story).
My brother (now deceased) had both schizophrenia and numerous personalities. He had visual and auditory hallucinations thanks to the schizophrenia. On top of that, in my last conversation with him, he mentioned that all his personalities ‘shared information’ except for one that was in denial. Because of that, when a different personality took over after that one, he would have no idea what happened during the time that denial personality was in control. Sadly, my brother passed after he had stopped taking medications for a week and decided to use computer duster (something he had finally got clean of) to sleep and never woke up.
Now, imagine that in a high sci fi or fantasy RPG. You might begin fighting and wasting energy on enemies who aren’t actually there, but you think they are. You can go into battle and no other party members will help because, as you find out after, those enemies weren’t really there. Maybe you become weak because of a would and have to get through a dangerous area to get to a hospital. There you find you never had an injury, it was a hallucination (based on a 911 call my brother made thinking he had slit his throat when he had not). Maybe you go to learn some key information from a character who then dies dies suddenly. However, you don’t remember any of it.
Most important though, in the end, you are still the hero and still save the day. The idea being that yes people with these mental health challenges struggle, but they aren’t monsters. My brother was one of the kindest people I know and loved to help people. A game like that, if done right, could help players understand what these conditions are actually like (not hollywoods bs) and show that they can still be heroes. I think that would be cool
Yep people are ridiculous
I’m terrified of driving the day they move the US from miles to kilometers. People go well over the speed limit as it is. I can only imagine how many people would read the kilometer per hour speed limit as miles.
