    Imagine the [krzzt] possibilities!

    I started college before covid, becoming a game programmer.

    • Boom. NFTs and Blockchains
    • Then Covid hit, eliminating many jobs and studios
    • Finally, AI/LLMs hit, and the companies that survived want to do that now

    I’m happy I got the degree and experience, I’m sad because now those jobs are gone, changed, or became near impossible to get into.











  • How did you just describe the downfall of every hobby I’ve ever tried.

    • I try a hobby
    • I get excited
    • I tell someone about what I’m learning
    • Hobby dies

    I am trying really hard to get back into my practicing hobbies after a hiatus, because I want to get good, but I’m also struggling with the fact that, by the time I’m good, I won’t be able to appreciate it because I’m aware of all the practice I put into it, and it becomes my normal.

    I also struggle with committing years to something.

    Actually me irl

    I make a list every week to do them on my days off, but by the time that day comes, there’s nothing left in me. I hate being min wage working class. Why can’t more jobs be salaried and I can just get my shit done and go home, or better yet, work from home. Fuck this life, fuck working your whole life, and fuck the system.

    Grocery bags were banned. Durable “reusable” plastic bags were mandated and we were expected to re-use those bags and return them to the store. The reality is that we use them just like the old bags and just fork over the extra 10 cents for every visit.

    This article is claiming the exact same thing, replacing the current “re-usable” bags with more durable “re-usable” bags that we will likely now pay 20 cents for and be expected to re-use them at the store.
