This is the last thing I needed to read today. I'm holding on by a thread.

I blocked you. Stop making new accounts.

No.

I can't find sustainable work. I don't have a romantic partner. I'm old and now facing bleak years left on Earth.

If we got along and I found them attractive, sure.

Are they going to put up with me playing copious amounts of city building games, my weekly Dungeons & Dragons game, and never shutting up about Aztec history?

I got certifications, communication skills, and I research every company I'm lucky enough to get an interview for. You hiring? I would be a star employee.

Edit:

Question, how do you suggest writing resumes that involve the company mission? I can't think of something that doesn't involve having AI tailor your resume or throwing keywords around in the summary (which those never work). I try to tailor cover letters to places I'm applying to.

I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to go from frontend developer/designer to project manager. My advice is to look for certifications that are respected in the field and then acquire them.

There it is. It's so easy to do nothing. You're very much like "us".

Get someone over here to give me a full time job. Or sponsor me to move wherever you are. Have a job ready for me when I get there. I got PMP, PMI-ACP, and PSM I certifications along with AWS certifications. I need either a source of income that can support me without firing me for protesting or a way out after I do whatever you want done.

I can lose my life. I can lose my health. I can lose my freedom. All those things could happen with a high chance of failure without anything changing. In fact I could make the situation worse. The failed assassination attempt on Trump boosted his poll numbers and contributed to his victory and his paranoia.

It's very easy for people like you to tell me to sacrifice, but people like you will never help me.

Make a sacrifice for me first. Do anything to make my life tolerable. Put your money where your mouth is. Then we will discuss what I'm freed up to do to help the world.

My point is that we're so inundated with terrible news and horrific policy we can't start to mount an opposition to a specific change before the next horror arises. We had military occupations in our cities which have been forgotten because that was half a dozen scandals ago.

Personally I've been in panic mode for a year because I was a government contractor before Trump let Elon Musk lay me off. Due to the economy Trump is directly responsible for the only job I could find pays 1/4 of what I was making with no benefits.

Now there is a war. I'm going hungry.

I think something most of the outside world doesn't understand about the USA, there are very few "us" unless you're conservative. It's a hyper individualistic society in an extremely large geographic area. The idea of collective anything is a foreign concept to me and I'm literally in a work union for the first time in my life for the worst job I've ever had. Unless my current Union is ok with the strike I can't afford to skip work. If I didn't have a union then the striking would be completely out of the question. I've been let go from jobs at the drop of a hat growing up in a "right to work state". There isn't a social safety net and my neighbors are completely ok with me becoming homeless. People who get to protest I've viewed as being privileged beyond my means. Community here is for the privileged and I'm scraping by to survive.

You need to get into Spanish Hair Metal.

My life has fallen apart because of Trump/Musk taking my job and the American economy becoming a dumpster fire.

I have turned to frozen margarita pizzas as a source of nutrition. To spruce up my pies I chop up spinach, mix in a can of diced green chilies, and season with whatever I have on hand. If I have an extra bag of mozzarella I throw some of that in there too. I let it sit for five or so minutes then spread that on top of the pizza. I add five to ten extra minutes to the baking time.

Got any cheap and fast cooking tips along those lines?

I think this technically counts.

The most primitive of Splatoon influences.

 

Y'all need to listen to more psychedelic Peruvian cumbia. Sonido Gallo Negro are a Mexican band.

 
 
 

There's an Aztec city building game called Tlatoani. It's in early access, but has enough meat on the bone that it's one of my goto games.

Out of curiosity I checked Steam DB for active player numbers. I have discovered at any given point I am 10% to 25% of the given player base BY MYSELF. I am 1 of 4 people playing this game right now in the world. With the prevalence of the internet I always assume whatever weird bullshit you're into there's at least a thousand people talking about it; making memes outsiders could never comprehend. It's actually novel to fly under the radar for once.

What do you do that doesn't have a community associated with it?
