@phocks billionaires playing "musical chairs" with the world, except its jobs and housing

I'll admit to having been vaguely tempted by them -- but it sounded like just as much work as cooking from scratch, and with smaller portions so you have to do it more often. :blobcatupsidedown:
(...and that's even aside from all the other issues...)
Hey, folks. I'm starting the search for a career outside of software engineering, not because I don't like software engineering but because I'm having trouble finding work that does not require LLM use, which I think is a bad idea for many reasons. But if you know of contract or full-time work that is ethical, I'm happy to do it. My favorite kind of work is building cheaply things to solve unconventional problems. (See the word pipeline or playlist image generator in my resume.)
A short series of polls for my trans femme sisters on HRT about progesterone and breast growth.
Boosts are encouraged even if you are not transfemme.
Poll 1: Did you/do you take progesterone or progestogens?
@dangillmor If that's 3% of the brain-cells available at the time, every month, then at age 736 months (plus a little bit... does this happen on the 1st, or the 15th, or...?) then I'm down to... meh, I don't have enough braincells left to translate "1.83652320417e-10" into a decimal. Oh well.
Call it 0%, I guess. Yeah.
Not too far off, really...
@Angle I haven't watched any of the videos yet (home-work environment makes videos difficult at the moment) but this post was definitely interesting.
I feel like the "how do we do math when AI is better at it" question is really a larger question about how humans fit in when machines get to the point where they do human-ing better than we do.
I have thots. Need to get my thot-riting spaces back up and running...
@somecat For me, either {quiet} or {only noises that are under my control*} would be nice.
(* music, generally)
Over here at Hypertwin Manor, a lot of it just doesn't get done. I set it aside to get to when I have the spoons, but then more comes in.
Five years later, I come across random items that I really meant to get to...
For all my adult life, I've struggled with social anxiety disorder.
Recently, I'm not quite sure what, something clicked in my mind and I realised if I'm ever going to get over this stuff, I'm gonna need help. So I asked for some, something I've never been able to do before.
Alongside that, I've always found it really hard to open up about myself, for fear of judgement or whatever it may be.
So that's kinda my motivation for posting on this new account. To shout into the ether in a way I've never felt quite able to do before. I'm determined to finally overcome social anxiety, and talking honestly about it can only be a good thing, right?
If that's what they were using it for, then I don't understand why they even needed it.
(I could go on a technical rant, but I am not an expert; I just write code a lot. >.>)
Does anyone have resources for parents on how to not be a dogshit parent to trans people?
Yes i just had that talk, he says he wants to learn so i want to give him a chance.
Edit: feel free to boost. I'd def like as many options as possible!
I’m currently hoping to find a cat friendly apt in #Maine (somewhere between #Biddeford and #Bath) or in #RhodeIsland in #Providence or #SouthCounty areas. Any leads would be greatly appreciated and boosts are welcome.
