Seriously, helps keep your shoes in better condition over time as well as you aren’t pulling on the back of the shoe or crushing the heel.

Premium gang.

I’m a video editor with two 27” monitors. One landscape the other portrait. I used to use both monitors for premiere but found moving the mouse around that much annoying so I condensed all my panels into one monitor and use the portrait one for notes and communication. I feel like I could go back to a single monitor system in the future but I like having two

Clearly the most reasonable response. Did you work for apple back in the day?

I am a big fan of the advice CGP Grey gives regarding solutions.

Don’t pick the first solution that comes to mind for a problem, it is most likely the least effective.

I’m personally a fan of Carrot Weather. You can pay for some extra features but in general I like the snarky shit.

If you use a Mac, Keyboard Maestro is similar with features and stuff. It just uses an interface similar to Automator.

Breakdowns. Chug chug chug chug chug Random growls and barks

Mmmmmmmmmm. Soothes my soul.

You ain’t ever seen a purple barn have ya?

I use Slidepad on my Mac every day. I have it mapped to a button in my mouse. It’s an embedded browser thing for web apps. But you can also put files there like pdfs and stuff which is handy when when you need to review something and don’t want another window always on your screen.

I am a citizen of neither here or there Don’t really belong anywhere

Don’t support any party It seems foolhardy

I believe in a man who rose from the dead So I waste my life for that instead

It depends on where it comes from. There is a defeatism that comes from my cynicism, but there is also the existential dread lying awake at night that I deal with as well.

I’m curious about what specifically it is stemming from? In your post you mention feeling aged out in an industry you have become extremely accustomed to. Do you feel like your value is very much driven by what you do? If you were to be aged out and eventually replaced do you feel like a large part of yourself would be missing?

In regards to how often I experience dread, it can be an every day thing. But it depends on what it comes from. There is the dread from feeling powerless to change my environment or culture I am in, but I have found personally that living to bring joy in the small things helps with that. If the dread is from questioning my purpose if there even is one, it’s the same line of thinking for me as before.

I have no clue if that provides any value but I hope you find peace amidst what you’re going through.

I don’t think it’s simple enough to lump entire work sectors as good or bad. I would argue that that kind of macro look will gloss over the people you will work for.

The company reputation and turnover is what is really worth looking into. If a company has low turnover and its employees speak highly of their work environment are one’s worth looking into. The only exception to that would be if there was higher turnover but those people leaving move to bigger things or don’t look back on their time poorly.

What’s your specs? I’m running a pretty old X99 build. The dual boot is my favourite part and when I eventually get a Mac Studio that’s what I am gonna miss the most.

Thanks! Subbed.

Yeah sorry about that. I just went through and fixed them on desktop. I think I got them all.

This is definitely one of my favourites. I feel like I have moved to Instagram for my cat fix for now.

Vzedshows is a video game content creator I really enjoy.

Strong Towns is a channel about city planning and urban centres.

Shifter is about urban cycling and focussed on Canadian cities.

Robert Hoskin finds and restores old films. Mostly Japanese ones.

Olden Demon creates cool videos about old Warhammer 40k

Mars Guy does a weekly dive into what is going on with Perseverance on mars. Super interesting.

James Channel is all about retro games and messing around with them.

Grouse House is an Australian absurd comedy group. They make fucked stuff.

Face Full of Eyes does absolutely incredible breakdowns on the aesthetics of games.

Canadiana makes some of the best documentaries about Canada.

Every channel here I believe is under 100k subscribers. So much great stuff waiting to be found.

*Edit: Fixed URLs, if they still don’t work let me know.

Right now I am missing the hyper specific cat subreddits like catswhoyell and catsinbusinessattire. There are so many that I loved to revisit every 2-3 months and see what was there

I agree with this. One of my favorite things to do was go to a hyper specific cat sub and just lurk. Same with other subs. Right now there isn’t enough stuff to do that currently. I did posit and comment here and there but it wasn’t regular.
