I'm so happy for people who chased a dream others thought was crazy and they made it!! That has to be one of the best feelings in the world... I dream of not working a normal 9 to 5 till I die or retire and people tell me that's not normal cause it's what you're supposed to do.
@purrodie Congrats, well deserved!! Also now I can tell people I was friends with a famous internet person long before they became famous. So like, this is a total win for me too!! ๐๐
It could be that I'm getting older but I've realized two things:
1) I can no longer just wing most things and fly by the seat of my pants. Careful planning and keeping track actually gets shit done.
2) A lot of people are absolute shit drivers!!
Still have to get thru some pre-employment stuff but this new company I'm potentially about to work for blows my old company out of the water. Not only are the benefits better but there's more, way more opportunities for advancement, and the culture seems to be 100 times better.
Applying for jobs you don't truly want just so you can leave a job you don't truly want while you still try to figure out what you truly want in life is a vibe I didn't particularly have on my 2023 to do list.... but here we are.
I think the craziest thing to me about the whole #HogwartLegacy backlash was how people upset by hate used it to spread more hate. It's just mind blowing to me that we're that fucked as a society still, and just potentially getting worse.
Things have been so much better the last three years. I've grown so much mentally and I'm proud of myself. But I'm still not happy with where I'm at in life and I know I need to put more work in. 2023 needs to be the year of big things.
If they need a #ChineseSpyBalloon to see things in the US during a time when I can use Google Earth to zoom in on my house and see what's on my front porch then it's a huge waste of resources. They have satellites, so they already have all the info you think the balloon acquired.
@SportsRadioWIP I used to enjoy a lot of these sports talk shows but it's very clear these days that a lot of these guys just have hot takes or play devil's advocate so they stir some controversy and have a job. Skip Bayless is one of them, Nick Wright is another one.
@purrodie I feel your pain I'm having a shit 2023 so far too. Hang in there though. We're gonna turn the corner on this thing real soon and fuckin' kill it the rest of the year!!
