    My parents were shit but he always made sure I was taken care of. Did his best to protect me from adult issues and even though his son, my dad, has screwed home over a lot, he has never talked poorly about my dad to me. He’s just a man’s man and I try to let him know he’s the one who made me what I am today.

    I am but I think they are not as open to change as they want to be because the only technical person on this team is an ex developer who works as a contractor. He admitted to me that he hates coding and I think hes just there for a 9-5 which is cool, but he's not open to improvements it seems.

    MW3(new) doesn’t seem as bad as people say

    I’m a pc guy but came from console, so I haven’t play cod in years. I’m way more excited for CS2 but I got the new COD to play with some friends. I know people talk about how awful it is but I’m actually enjoying the gameplay. My biggest gripe rn is the UI. I can’t figure out how anything works but sitting down and getting a kill every 2 min is classic COD and pretty fun

    Shit like this makes me happy, I’m a white collar guy from a blue-collar family. I wish people just realize all work sucks and the people who are actually working are not the cause of any of your problems.

    The reason I say this is because I have an ant that a teacher and my uncle works in a factory. both jobs are incredibly hard and I would not want them. They both deserve better.

    Software devs, I need advice

    Will taking a job in one sector set my career path Hey I’ve been pretty luck last week and I managed to get 2 job offers. One is a good gig at a massive, old school financial group. I’m talking I have to wear a suit and tie. My biggest worry though is the tech is old and my coworkers and higher ups don’t seem bleeding edge so I doubt I’ll be flexing my developer muscles. Plus they have a volleyball intramural league The other company is contracted for 6 months with a really cool tech IoT company. Job through Insight Global, Full remote, Has amazing Glassdoor reviews, cool projects, I crushed their technical interview so I feel like I can actually contribute. I’m leaning towards the financial group because money matters and I want to feel secure. What I’m worried about is after 2 years I’ll be 27 and I’m scared that working as a SWE for a financial group won’t look as good so I’ll never be able to work on a project that I’m passionate about again Any advice?

    Guys pretty old school so we send it to him and whenever we need repairs he comes to fix it. He’s a good dude. Is a true historian and loves this house, when we were touring the place he told us about every person who owned it after it was built in 1864

    That being said I know even the best can’t resist money, so I can only hope

    I think the internet is turning to shit and that Google/Youtube is greedy like every other conglomerate.

    But… they have to get something from people using there services. I personally use YouTube like an iPad kid so I have premium. I like the EUs tech laws but I don’t think they should rule that a computer can’t push ads (assuming the ads are not malicious)

    FPS gripe

    I used to be a console gamer. Bo2 on the Xbox 360 was my favorite game of all time. I moved to csgo, once I got a pc. My gripe with fps games on the deck is it doesn’t feel like a console fps, it feels like a pc game. I obviously understand why but I wish I could think of a way to change that. The controls just feel awful to me
