It's propaganda because you disagree with it correct? Russia can do no wrong?

Started my first week of work since I got addicted to heroin and fell into a crisis a few years ago, finally back on track in a major and definitive way, and work is going very well, just wrapped up my second day!

Update on my interview, I got the fucking job! I'll be back in VR QA as a QA Analyst contracted at 20 hours a week with potential to go full time later in development, they're paying about £18 ($22.72) - £20 ($25.24) an hour which is amazing as well, I can't wait to actually have money again... I start in Mid April once I sign the contract (once they have actually written it up fully) and the NDA as well since the game is currently in development. Company seems very well managed too, I am working with two of my best friends from my old job who were absolutely lovely to work with (they actually got me the interview to begin with), so I am super excited to start mid April and to get an eye on the project we are gonna be making.

I am so fucking happy.

Make sure to let us know where to migrate to before this place potentially shuts down, I wanna stay with this community.

Still great, waiting on my third date with the chef girl on Friday. Can't wait for it.

I'm still reeling from the date I had yesterday, still can't believe it went so well. A lotta first times all at once, first date, first kiss, first time touching a woman sexually, first time going out with someone to a pub, etc. And the most unbeliveable thing of all is that she is almost just as into me as I am her it feels which makes me feel like a vibrating fuzzball.

Perfect for when civilization collapses and we have to do some wasteland 2 shenannigans to get the lost knowledge of the past back by hoarding laptops.

A room temperature superconductor would allow 100% efficiency for energy transmission and allow all sorts of technologies like cheap maglev trains using flux pinning for example.

What a fucking stupid move. And that's saying something at this point.

1. I can read quick and you put it in proper paragraphs so it wasn't a pain to read.
2. Yes they're normal, you're just trying to judge who you feel is most in need of what you can give.
3. If I have the money on me and can spare it then I'll do it, but that very rarely happens as I don't carry my wallet most of the time.

Personally my policy is to give them money even if they use it for drugs, as a former addict myself that money will keep them alive physically or mentally, and or both no matter what. And that is worth the short term damage of them potentially using it for drugs, it gives them another period of time (days, weeks, etc) to choose to change for the better. It's a very painful and embarassing thing to ask another person for money for drugs (subtly or non-subtly), very painful.

But it's better than resorting to theft or dying depending on what you're addicted to. Withdrawal is absolute hell and I would if the situation arose give an addict in active withdrawal money to get out of it without much hesitation.

Good to hear they just deleted it at the very least, what a stupid decision allowing a community like that on any lemmy instance is. You might as well just throw a box of spanners into the gears, or throw lit matches into a peat bog.

Meta is going for a price run on failure it feels like, I worked for a company bought out by (no names to prevent breaking my NDA) them super publically and then a year or so later firing 90% of the staff and replacing them (for no reason) and leaving a skeleton crew.

And as expected things have just been on a steady decline ever since. The people running the show at Meta have to be off their rocks on coke.
