I love this. Thank you.

I try to keep an open mind, especially because I’m immigrant who has other concerns outside the US sociopolitical sphere, but this is exactly one of the things I immediately saw happening given the demographic of people paying for Twitter Blue.

That is highly possible. I have a few coworkers on my job (software QA) that are on an H-1B. They have to be very calculated about both their professional and even personal life decisions because it all hinges on having/keeping a job.

What a fucking glowing recommendation and endorsement from an absolutely reputable organization. /s

On the other hand, I feel for those engineers at Twitter. Yeah they are choosing to stay, but one, for those of them who really believe in Twitter as a tool, it’s not so easy to leave it behind all because corporate leadership is acting dumb, and two, even though Twitter still looks great on a resume, switching jobs is not as easy as stopping to go work for one place on one day and starting in another the next.

Good insights! Yeah if it gives you a mental/emotional boost then it’s pretty worth it, especially since that’ll translate well to the rest of your day.

Why I asked my original question is because I’m currently on those meal kit things, and the one I’m subscribed to sends the food fully cooked and ready to eat, you just have to pop it in the microwave. And it’s pretty tasty stuff, doesn’t look too preprocessed. But it does get expensive. So I was considering the alternative of cooking daily to save money, which sounds funny because 99.9% of people probably do that.

And I’m kinda on the fence about meal prepping because the idea of eating the same thing a few days in a row doesn’t really appeal to me.

I guess I’ll find out this week which is more sustainable for my situation!

Great on the eyes and I’m sure it was delicious!

I made an effort here

This is my biggest hurdle most days. I live alone so that much effort for something that I’ll probably consume in about 10-15 minutes, in the middle of the workday, is kinda hard for me to reconcile. Is it worth it? And I don’t mean in the “self-care is always worth it” kind of way. 😂
