I do envy their ability to take such big risks though (often because they have money to fall back on, I assume).

I’ve never been in a position to take a risk like that without jeopardizing my (and now my family’s) future.

There are a surprising number of “Disney Adults” that go many times per year, and I have no idea where they are all getting the money for it. Sure, a lot of them don’t have kids, but that alone doesn’t really save enough money to do this.

I’ve heard it’s one of those ways they haze new operators.

People like you are why we have good things.

It’s not something that’s unique to tech, but I read it as a joke about enshittification due to greed.

Lots of start-up companies start out all idealistic and positive, then don’t stay true to that mission as the founders age and want more (or sell out to a bigger company).

They might be using an app that doesn’t show display names. I can see it when on my PC, but this is how it looks in the Voyager app, for example:

You actually did it! What a legend.

It sounds like the robots still have a lot to learn.

Please be warned, that part of the text was 100% AI. I’ve never baked cupcakes…

That’s good advice. You’ve got my vote.

Do you know how many more murals they’d have to paint?

Yeah, I loved my wavebird back in the day.

Can’t let that happen again.

Sloppy job on mobile, but here:

Just keep adding master’s degrees until you get an offer, I guess.

Gotta get my kicks somehow

“just do it” is probably the best advice, honestly. I remember starting a video about GIMP sometime last year, but I turned it off after I realized that I wasn’t retaining most of it. I’m very much a “start and look it up as I hit snags” type of learner, which seems like what you’re describing too.

Very cool! I’d love to get good at gimp, solely for memes. It’s a bit overwhelming.

Them’s fightin’ words 'round these parts, buster.

(… i agree)
