I'm not sure why but my Microsoft 365 account did not renew. Oh well...
Taking the opportunity to "de-Microsoft" myself.

Taking a shower today was a personal achievement but you can't really brag about that at dinner parties.

WeRateDogs

We only rate dogs. This is the goth cousin of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. Please understand it's not just a phase, and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (credit u/vincidelaunc)

a fluffy black orb like a soot sprite is sitting on a white floor. there’s a small crescent shape of white right in the middle, with a black round spot centered within it. at first glance, it has the appearance of a single eyeball floating in the middle of the void. at second glance, it still looks like that. but maybe on third examination, it’s clearer that the white is from a dog’s little snout, and the black in the middle is the dog’s nose, and any other distinguishing feature like eyes, ears, and paws are absorbed into the black void.

an exceedingly fluffy black dog stands expectantly on the floor and looks up at a little kid in a high chair who presumably has snacks to share. the little bit of white on the dog’s nose and their pink tongue is the only interruption in the otherwise endless sea of darkness. but at least from this angle, they have a more defined body and tiny feet, so she’s a little less “orb” and a little more “dog.”

Chronic Illness is just "here's a referral to get another referral to get another referral to get another referral to get another referral" until you get medical fatigue.

Thus begins the half of the year I work seasonal jobs and take way more steps than I do any other time.

I worked the last 3 days setting up our store and then slept 12 hours to recover 😴

Sorry I come on here randomly and just, make some weird ass statement, but it’s comforting to get the things you feel out to people who want to listen.

Recovery isn’t something that goes the same speed for everyone, or looks the same in everyone. Just because one person is healed over something doesn’t mean others have to be. Just because you “got over it” in a short time doesn’t mean the other person has to.

Ok so when Microsoft was making the first Xbox I was doing Flash ads for them and they had an 800 page brand standards binder and when I used a green that was, and I quote, 6% off, I got my ass chewed out. Fucking losers now. Have some goddamn self respect.

The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.

Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics:

"The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!"

And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.

Not to be parasocial but to see the creators I’ve watched for years grow and change and get happier is always heartwarming. I love seeing them make the content that makes them happy.
