This set is so weak.

It's very easy to argue that so much of what we consider consent is forced consent or manufactured consent. And I'm not just talking about sex, I'm talking right down to the 'consent of the governed.' Deconstructing the concept of consent is a valid intellectual exercise. It's all...

I feel like most people at most jobs are just bullshitting their way through the day and hoping no one finds out.

Every time a core VOIP server goes down for a few seconds, every single remote site sends out an alarm, and therefore generates an incident when they go into standalone survivable mode, even if they reliquish control back to the core server 30 seconds later. And every one of those alarms has to...

I was hands down the best programmer in all my Java classes, my Python class, and my various web development classes. But those nuts and bolts compiler design type classes and higher went totally over my head.

Yeah, I always used to get the Barbacoa until I realized that the pork was just far superior. I haven't actually eaten at Chipotle in over a year though, so I don't know if they've gone downhill.

My Pascal SLI + Skylake-E system will be glorious. (That's what I keep telling myself anyway.) I'm going to get that Predator X34 curved ultra widescreen IPS gsync monitor, or maybe there will be something better by then.

Those are both braindead easy questions, what the fuck. Is that seriously the kind of questions they ask when you're interviewing for a programmer position. Fuck, I could be a programmer if that's the case.

If you don't get the pork at Chipotle you are doing it wrong. Even top professional chefs agree.

lol yeah. My job is almost precisely like whatever the protagonist of every cyberpunk anything has before they become Neo/Hiro/whatever. It could not be more of a faceless cubicle farm if it tried. 95% of it is monotonous corporate drudgery. It's definitely taught me a shitload about...

Pearson.

I'm extremely pleased with my Discover card so far.

Did you spell it that way in the hope that I would not appear?

I fell for it I guess, I still think it's real. I know people like this IRL.

I think most of the SJW shit is ultimately harmless but this shit really scares me. Gender and sexuality is hard enough to figure out on your own for some people. But having your parents force their fucked up weirdness onto you would make it even worse.

I almost did that while vacuuming the other day. Luckily it was the vacuum extension that hit the blades first, not my head.

It's not like I have time to leave the house or do anything enjoyable, so I don't have any lifestyle expenses. I can pay all my own bills off fixing PCs and selling magic cards. My fellowship stipend pays the mortgage. I took the job to pay my mom's remaining bills, because I won't leave her...

Walmart already raised their own minimum wage to 9 dollars, going to $10 in Feb 2016. They do not actually hire the people that nobody wants. The people that nobody wants don't have jobs. $15 is probably excessive in a lot of the shitty parts of the country, because COL there is so low...

Oh, I have no doubt I can endure this misery for a long time. I'm just worried that my ability to endure misery is what got me stuck in my shitty situation in the first place, and that enduring further misery might not actually be healthy.

I've worked plenty of jobs before. But absolutely nothing like this.

The problem with the job isn't so much the boredom. It's the fact that the job is just mentally taxing enough to be tiring and stressful (mostly because the toolchain and workflow are so terrible) but it's not actually productive. Almost all the 'fixing' stuff gets done by someone else. The...

It's my weekly schedule, every single Friday into Saturday is going to be like that until I quit and take a job at Walmart.

Waiters at real restaurants make way more than I'm making in this area. The 'benefit' of this job is that they pay pretty much all the overtime you want once you're actually useful. There's people on my team taking home 140 hour paychecks every 2 weeks. Apparently once you've learned all...

Apparently they approve nearly all overtime. So I could just be miserable slower and rack up more money. But seriously, I just worked 4pm to midnight, then had to be back in 9am for a 12 hour shift. So 9 hours total travel and recovery time between 8 and 12 hour shifts.

Jilt (Apocalypse) - Gatherer - Magic: The Gathering Brutal Explosion is Jilt without the versatility of just being unsummon.

It's cool? I dunno, I really like it, it just feels zippy, efficient and stylish at the same time, at least after tweaking it down some.

You know what, it really is. I didn't put my finger on it until just now, but I wasn't treated like a child this much even when I was in elementary school.

The nearest one is Pennsylvania FUCK.

What is this place where i need what now plz

The processes of actually doing the work are pretty simple. Our clients on newer systems are tied into a separate monitoring GUI that works ~90% of the time, but that's not my job. I watch alarms on much more troublesome legacy systems, that need to be VPNed or telnetted or old-school modem-ed...

They do, the cubicles are in rows, the supervisors sit at the back of the rows at larger, elevated cubicles on higher chairs so they can see all the screens up their row. Our monitors are pretty massive.

Yes. I'm not paying for it. I just want the easiest/fastest one to finish, so I can get it before I quit this lousy job.

Of course I can. The entire job is watching alarms, then opening SSH tunnels into corporate networks so we can get access our servers and clear the alarms. I also know I would get fired for doing it. The supervisors are fucking dickholes. Some guy checked his fantasy football team out for...

Yeah, our internet is heavily filtered and this place is super corporate. We're not allowed to do anything but stare at the screen.

I want to say I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional, even if I don't intend on going all the way to an MCSE or an MCSD any time soon. Which is the easiest exam? I've taken plenty of web development courses, would Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 be easy or is it like randomly...

One post up motherfucker. I just realized I work 10 hours Friday night then my Saturday shift starts 9 hours later and lasts another 12 hours. LOLOL what.

Yeah, you can study for some useless ITIL certs off their LMS. That's what I've been doing. I have no real interest in staying in IT though, I'll have a masters in educational psych in 3 months and I plan on getting a job at an Ed-tech company doing something other than IT. Maybe they have MS...

I had a pretty demanding IT job for 6 years before going back to school. Demanding physically and mentally. But I liked going to work every day. This is just fucking monotony. It's staring at an alarm screen in 10-12 hour shifts, doing literally nothing, in a windowless cubicle farm after...

I know Python already.
