Don’t you have to drink, like, a LOT for this to happen? I was under the impression that a glass of wine or a beer here or there in your first trimester (and especially before you know you’re pregnant) probably wasn’t going to cause this to develop. I thought it was more sustained, heavy drinking all through the…

We don’t know. An infection during pregnancy is what seems to be triggering the cases, but I’m in no way qualified to tell you whether it would be safe to travel beforehand. Maybe?

It never ceases to amaze me how people can try to “stand up to something” and “prove them wrong” by acting in the exact way they are being accused of. “Women are claiming we harass them, I’ll show them through, oh I know, a campaign of harassment. That’ll prove my point, I’m a freakin genius!”

True story; I was unable to defeat the tutorial level of Portal.

You know, if you don’t have two bucks to buy a “dedicated vegetable peeler,” you’re probably eating expired dollar store ramen anyway. Fuck, this is stupid.

Not to try and dissuade you, because Dissidia’s always been a fairly divisive series. But why would you make the association with Monster Hunter? I’m assuming due to the grind required for equipment and skills?

I had a boss who told me that I’d never make it as a developer because I didn’t ‘live, breathe, and sleep code.’

“Rockstar”, “ninja”, etc. definitely turn me off immediately. I want to work with humble, honest people who are going about things the right way, serious about learning/understanding, and are legitimately trying their best. I do not want to work with a bunch of immature hipsters who think they know everything but are…

This, my God, this. When I applied at my current company, they had massaged the paperwork order around so that you filled out a minimal application for the job in question, and then between the 1st and 2nd round interviews you filled out the full application manually.

I’m half-sorta looking at some job postings and I see a lot of “must really love coding/programming/etc.”, usually combined with other tell-tale oh-hell-no phrases. To me this means they want someone who is so enthralled with the main job that they’ll put up with whatever abuse and other crap is flung at them,…

“Cannibals need not apply.” I mean, really.

The ‘must have two years experience’ thing is insanely annoying. I get that it is expensive to train people, but college degrees don’t automatically come with two years experience on your resume. Everyone has to start somewhere and I feel like a lot of companies lose out on potentially good employees (who they get to…

I think my personal favorites are still the “requires X years of experience in ABC” when ABC has only been in existence less than X years.

Were you actually expecting a Nintendo game to come out on PC?

*Your* coping mechanism? Fuck you. You don’t have cancer, and you’re not even feeling anything from this, so it’s not a coping mechanism. Even if it was, that wouldn’t be a Get Out Of Jail Free card.

“How am I (as a respectable human) supposed to get any work done if I am thinking about all the cats”

Because, *Jesus*?

Yeah, but paying money for bags...idk, it hurts my soul to do that.

Okay but if you were really high and suddenly a fucking milkshake with a PIECE OF CAKE ON TOP appears like magic are you going to say no? Because I saw that article and mentally saved it to my “things to experience while fucked up” goals list

This is something I started doing on my own (at least the distract and delay portion), so I think it’s funny having it laid out as a method.
