I can’t remember the last time I got a spam email honestly. I changed my address like 5+ years ago and it just stopped and never resumed. It’s not the email provider filtering them either, the only thing it catches are legitimate but automated messages.

I enjoyed it. Narratively I’m not particularly invested nor am I a Fallout fan, but the show has a lot of interesting things in sets/costuming/locations/etc and I like the cast. Walton Goggins is basically a cheat code for having at least something captivating in your show.

Given this is Hexbear I should though I should mention that if you’re looking at it because you’ve heard it’s got an anti-capitalist message, it’ll be a disappointment. It’s there but it’s just so fucking stupid.

I’d skip this one for sure if I were you. It is used for random shock value and it’s so frequent that, even if you could predict it all, you’d be looking away from the screen so often you may as well turn it off and pretend it’s an audio drama.

Turns out that they just needed someone who was capable of following instructions and who was able to communicate things using specific language and they managed to find their guy on the inside.

This is any office job where you have to communicate with different teams honestly, not just IT. Getting things done is just building a list of competent people you can call to bypass all the various filters. One of the most common conversations at work is just “who was your guy at X who got Y done?”.

It’s extremely funny when you get blowhards who think the way to get shit done is to talk to the boss though. The small business tyrant clients we have just jump to the “I’ll just call the boss then” the moment there is the slightest bit of friction or delay and it always makes me laugh. My boss is actually a pretty standup guy and really good at what he does, but if you’re not important enough he will literally wait months to action something and these guys never are.

Meanwhile I can basically just say hello, goodbye and “Any update on x? I’m waiting on it for y” without coming across as rude. The bizarre corporate speak is still there but it’s for specific uses.

This is the weird reality of the internet. I’ve met far, far more trans men in real life than trans women but online it’s the complete opposite. I have no idea why.

they call it a restroom for a reason

You have no idea. I take a toilet break at least once every two hours, sometimes more, and I’m not quick about it. It could easily be an hour a day.

For once I don’t even hate my job and I’m not even really trying to steal time away. It’s just a convenient excuse to get up, stretch and refresh a bit. I do it at the end of a task or goal and I need to start planning the next section of work so the mental reset is really useful. Honestly, it probably makes me more productive than if I just stayed at my desk.

Nobody is going to complain, my work gets done and it gets done fast. If anyone questions it I’ll just say I have IBS or something and it’ll come under TMI.

actually the show sucks, i just got to where the introduce Jool

my ears are fucking bleeding send a doctor
