Depends what part of the process you like. Some people like to be very meticulous in their hobbies, and somewhat of a perfectionist. That rarely exists in a professional environment, where everything is based on getting projects out the door, on schedule and on budget.

I actually like banging out projects quickly, so the professional life of my hobby suits me well (woodworking). I love pounding out big mortises with a sledgehammer, planing big boards and watch chips go flying. I hate fiddling with joinery and slowly fitting them for 10 minutes (slowly learning how to do them faster). For other people, joinery is their favorite part.

Depends. For someone else? Maybe not. On yourself? Definitely.

Work hard studying and exercising. Self improvement I'd important, and its not related to job opportunities, but rather mastering the art of living.

Being so self sufficient that most tarrifs, price hikes, etc, won't touch you. At least not cripplingly slow. Basically being a prepper for the next great depression.

Definitely tf2

Usually community servers are empty but pub players are practically infinite

Even if you are completely closed of from AI as a profession, there are still way more possibilities, even in the same general field(computer science).

Even then you could go through a career change. He looks like hes in his 20s or 30s which isnt late at all.

My grandpa told me "always call your boss sir, and respond "yes sir", youll be promoted real quick."

First day at my first job my boss tells me "by the way you don't need to call me sir, just Brian"

Its actually insane that the world that boomers lived in was that simple.

Hobbies always change when they become a job because it transitions from well thought out, interesting and creative projects to mass production and monotony.

As a hobbyist you have the ability to discover and work on unique, novel projects, without stress but professionalism is about consistency and speed.

Usually by running the business you can dedicate some time and resources to the fun and novel stuff. Thats how I run mine at least, as a woodworker. I don't crank out high grossing trendy stuff day and night but take the time to explore new ideas and get creative with it. That and using handtools instead of power tools.

Cocconuts is his dads baby now haha. He loves her so much. Lots of tasty food, treats pets and slaps (she likes being slapped like a drum lol)

Its cause people are delusional and think they are the party of "small government" just because they lower taxes in the short term.

I have heard she is VERY loud. They spoil her a lot now haha.

I heard a rumour that Assad died. Is that true?

Thats so horrible what people did to bitty. When my friend's family moved into a new place, the previous tenant just left their cat. Fortunately my friend immediately adopted her. Her name is coconuts and she's also pretty huge. 15 pounds.

I had workaholic parents who expected "retirement" to finally be the time to enjoy life. So they grinded, 60 hour work weeks for decades. They made a ton of money but by the time they made it to retirement they destroyed their bodies.

My mom has extremely severe chronic hip pain and cannot sit down. Due to constantly working in an office her muscles were severely atrophied and she cannot find the motivation to get back in shape. She spends the vast majority of her time in bed, completely exhausted.

My father suffered chronic stress and once passed out at work. He struggles with high blood pressure and went partially blind. He is still working due to decisions I can't share here.

Wow, I wonder where the chip came from. Pinto came all in one piece so has nothing like that. He got into scuffles with other cats and even racoons (hes just that big), so hes had the occasional vet visit. Nothing serious though.

Pinto is very gentle so he rarely bites. Most of the time he will push your hand away with increasing pressure until he swats at you with no claws. I've never pushed him further. I'd hate to find out too, hes obliterated cheap toys before with his hind legs.

Observing his sashimi

Someone who worked an honest life. Not someone who took advantage of others directly or indirectly (working for a scummy company). I observed many places abusing uninformed customers for work. It was sickening seeing these guys tack on random shit to the bill since they knew they could trick the customer.

For the women reading, you are often targeted and scammed this way. Learn about what you are getting fixed so you know if the bill is bullshit. Ive seen places press a couple buttons on a computer and charge for replacing the OS, updating drivers and other nonsense.

Contractors and service places (repair and automotive shops) are prime examples. I know good contractors who don't like being watched, but you as the paying customer deserve and have the right to watch. Once a plumber stole 600$ from my grandpa's wallet, money he was going to give to his grandkids. I worked for an honest computer shop I was proud of, but it was constantly on the verge. It was extremely depressing.

Now after a career change (woodworking) I hope to provide decent products for an honest price. Materials and equipment + labour (with an hourly rate of a livable wage).

Its still crazy that allergie treatment isn't considered essential care. There were times my allergies were debilitating. The most sick I got in the last 6 months was spending a couple hours with a cat. I genuinely couldn't work for days, and I was taking my allergy meds the whole time..

I have no idea what the guy is talking about. Hi-points are under like 200$, and thats a complete pistol. It ain't luxurious but it shoots.

Maybe depending on the situation, and whether or not we can properly tax those who need to pay for most of it.

If it continues as it is now, with corporate entities and billionaires paying nearly nothing in taxes, I wouldn't support it. It only alienates the upperclass who we want on our side. Millionaires compared to billionaires is a similar scale to min wage workers to millionaires. We need to make it clear we are not after the 1%, but the 0.1%.

In addition to a UBI there needs to be some kind of price control. Otherwise I would fear that it'd simply subsidize corporate price gouging. Rents would immediately shoot up.

I had a feeling I hadnt seen bitty for a while. Heres pinto sniffing my hands after coming home from a fried chicken place.

Scandalous
