It will increase your salary most likely. Without it you’re just another native speaker

In college I became a bong engineer. The worst idea I ever had was using an empty bottle of hair conditioner. I can still taste it

Update your linked in to ‘looking’ and start sending out your resume immediately. It’s easier to get a higher paying job if you are currently employed. Also you will have leverage against current employer if anything starts to go down. Lastly, see how your other IT team are feeling, ask them about their salaries and share that with each other. Unionize.

‘people voted wrongly’ is an incorrect framing

I still cannot fucking believe the culture war has gone so far as to make people do this and think the ‘own the libs’ by doing so. Absolutely insane society you go there, America. Guess it’s the logical conclusion of destroying public education

Why she wearing a flag saying she loves Israel tho… Aren’t they literally starving people to death as I type this preventing all food from getting in 7 infants froze to death like two days ago…,

Fantastic. Tolstoy speaking like a Zen monk. I love it

For real. It took me a minute to get into it but once I understood how to play it really blew me away. Excellent story, great art, fun tactical fighting.

I was on lemmy.world for a week. My goodness the astonishing degree of bad takes and western propaganda. Yeah, I mean. I hate the data silos but at least on lemmygrad and hexbear there’s a modicum of actual good faith dialogue.

TLDR fuck Reddit that platform is dead
