  • Be honest about it if you get an interview, but be clear that it took some time to get where you needed to be. Let them know that you’ve worked hard to get the help you needed and are more than ready to get back into the world.

    When Chewy hired me for remote work, they also asked what I had done during my unemployment. They seemed pleased to hear I had been building skills in web design and UI/UX as well as becoming a professional typist at 90 wpm average. So have your accomplishments ready, no matter how small they may seem.






  • He’s been so deeply invested in code itself and cloistered in Udemy courses. Trust me, I know how it sounds.

    He really doesn’t communicate with others in the business, which right now I think is his downfall. No connections.

    He’s the “no distractions and dive into paid resources” type of learner and I’m the “scour the web and find news and free resources” type of learner, but I’m easily distracted.


  • Agreed. I NEETed for five years. Never left my apartment, sponged off my gf, terrified of going out. Even that long is hard to get out of.

    Thankfully I kept my weight mostly in check and I still had some humble charisma when I needed to interact with people. This let me seek help which culminated in severe anxiety and sleep apnea diagnoses.

    Let me tell you, though. Even 5 years is enough to make any sort of potential employer wrinkle their nose at your application. I had to dig hard through my grave topsoil.


  • I once worked with that one person. You know the one, heavy enjoyer of cannabis even on the job. He was THE person. No, let me put it into perspective.

    The guy would down a full bottle of cannalean 1k nano THC before work and would come in with a massive 500mg candy in his mouth. This kid would impress old Tommy Chong.

    The first thing he’d ever tell you is that he ate human flesh. Apparently, him and a buddy were cooking something and his buddy cut the tip of his finger off on the cutting board. He said that they both stared at it for a long time before my coworker asked, “Can I eat that?” If its true, these guys had to have been blasted.

    Shame he was fired for sleeping on the job.


  • My much brainier than me friend was telling me about the courses he was taking to apply to Oracle. I had to break it to him how far down they’ve fallen, and not to expect anything working for them. He’s smart, but not in the right social channels like the Fediverse to see what the real people are saying.



  • This. I rocked a 3 for 3 years. My inner screen peeled year one. Being a dummy, I thought it would be fine. The inner crease started to peel just a tiny bit after year 2. It was small and still worked great. I got full trade in value for it and my Fold 6 has 0 problems.

    Unless you get a factory defect, folding phones are amazing if you’re gentle with opening and closing them



  • I’ve always had a pretty shitty stomach (haha), but it really drove home just a couple weeks back. I’m not bad at getting fiber, but I don’t go out of my way to chase it. I recently started Kratom at nighttimes for anxiety and RLS, and have been enjoying it. Kratom solidifies bowel matter and causes constipation.

    I took it for a few months (8 grams a day; 4 in the morning 4 in the evening) and I didn’t really bother to make sure I had fiber, water, and maybe a small bit of laxative with my dosage. As of a couple weeks ago, I no longer have an appendix.

    So. Fiber good. Much fiber. I eat shredded wheat every morning now and try to take in some leafy greens with my suppers/lunches as well as trying to limit my overall dairy intake. There’s also diverticulitis on my dad’s side and diabetes on my mom’s. I’m 35. It’s time to be extremely careful with my diet and now I only take sugar in the mornings with my coffee/tea and it’s half of what I used to put in it.

    Stay healthy out there, folks.



  • Tales is really good if you like classic roguelike-hacklikes. It’s crazy deep and has a huge learning curve, though, but there’s tons of lore, classes, races, abilities, status effects; its pretty overwhelming at first.

    My recommendation would be to play something simple like a Dwarf Bulwark/Warrior and start on exploration mode or adventure mode. Exploration is infinite lives and adventure is multiple lives with a set amount you can gain throughout the campaign, though I think those modes are Steam only (the game is free on the main site).


  • Hmmm… so reading up, Timeshift doesn’t automatically delete manual backups. Have you tried removing your old manual backups and trying again? This is just a hunch, but I feel as though Timeshift is looking through all of your old backups after you manually create a new one in order to apply appropriate tags. I think that’s why it’s telling you that the maximum weekly backups have been exceeded; because its checking every one of them.

    Honestly, I’m just getting back into the Linux game after a couple years so I’m probably off, but it couldn’t hurt to delete a majority of your old, unneeded backups and check.
