This. As someone with a humanities degree, I can tell you it’s not something that really shows up much when scrolling through pages and pages and pages and pages of job listings. It’s almost always something technical, or something like nursing. You’re lucky you stuck with the CS degree long enough to find what sounds like a decent job with non-shitty managers.

What people usually tell us starving artists and philosophers is to find a “real” job (like a trade skill or tech skill) and do our artsy interest as a side hustle or hobby. There are historically many authors and artists who’ve had to live this reality, unfortunately. That’s capitalism for you.

i have fun distro-hopping on my other old, cheap laptops though

nah both types exist

I’m a worker that asks a lot of questions and gets frustrated when i don’t understand why things are done a certain way. The best boss/manager I had actually sat down with me and explained in a friendly manner when I had questions instead of dismissing me. They helped me when they saw I was just trying to understand to do my job better.

i prefer it too, but I’ve heard complaints from others saying they can’t learn well that way.

symbol of a torture device. checks out.

they don’t actually care about this country or its people at all. they’d rather let russian oligarchs be citizens and fuck shit up worse than it already has been than take care of the people who’ve made families and generations here.
