I don't typically feel this way, no. It's kind of like playing a video game where you forgot you're holding a controller and so you just like, go around enacting your will on stuff, without really thinking about it.

Is that true? Where did you hear this?

And lynx

The real questions

Definitely not.

But it is when 30 starts to seem real and many people take what person they want to be more seriously. Or not

What's the new gender

giving each other verbal cues to do certain things/do certain things to them which the audience doesn't/can't hear [hopefully, looking at you Cena lol]

What's the story with Cena? He came after my time.

If it doesn't have to be a AAA with hooks for MTX everywhere then development and design would go much faster.

It would be like putting down the 5 kilo weight you've been carrying for seven years and realizing the hike to releasing a game doesn't have to be so arduous

It's funny, when I was a young adult I turned my parents on to Netflix and away from cable. And now I'm trying to get them off Netflix

They get traffic and unless someone comments otherwise, a slight boost in perceived respectability

Good convo there, thanks

So this is starting to sound more like something that needs to explicitly be paid for in some way (as opposed to just crowd sourcing personal hardware), at least if we want to maintain the same level of service.

So it's not actually funding anything reprehensible?

I ask because I'm really liking it...

Well you tried

Also if therapy is too expensive, group therapy, or just time

Oh man how embarassing. I imagine you make it pretty clear that the company phone comes with this capability after that incident lol

I think their point (may be wrong) is that none of this high powered software would exist without the goodness of strangers. Tbf it probably wouldn't look like this without business / on the clock contributing either

Yeah this exact scenario happened where I used to work. The only time it's an inconvenience is if we're all in person for a tech summit or something, but having the personal contacts of a few co-workers let's me check in on any plans I might have missed.

Nowadays my phone is too old to even run slack, so I'd require work to buy me a new, separate work phone anyway.

But truth be told, it's amazing being unreachable. I logged on to the work slack today Monday morning, and found out that the company had an all hands on deck show stopper bug last Friday ~1730 lol not for me it wasn't. I was walking my dog enjoying the brisk winter air, completely oblivious until I logged back on this morning to read the postmortem. 😌

Wtf how? Was someone cybering over vid chat and checked the record option?

The cynic in me sees this as a clear play to jostle the Overton Window. Sure this won't pass, but will the people who suggested it face consequences? How much heat actually comes their way?

Now they've checked the temperature and got away with it, they can try some other reprehensible thing and see if the backlash is manageable.

Repeat until hell on earth.
