Is that the same as skin cancer?

Multiple people shared the account and communicated by making draft messages. And apparently notable things were said/left as draft.
You sound like me. I’m diagnosed autistic (mildly), I’m a software engineer, I’m introverted, I’m definitely liberal leaning, and…I live in Oregon.
For now, I love it here (except Portland proper). So many great restaurants, bars, breweries, wineries, and a crap ton of trails and other parks and sights and sounds.
I live semi-rural and half the businesses here have pride flags and BLM signage. I’m non-white, but don’t feel unsafe walking around where I am at night. My tech contract jobs are remote and I make more than enough to live comfortably.
It rains a lot here… though less so these days it seems. It’s weird how many 100+ degree days we get now, but it’s still a lot less than other people I know.
I’m rambling. If you want to know more, just ask.
I’m sorry you couldn’t finish it, but…for whatever reason, this comment is the funniest thing I’ve seen and hardest I’ve laughed at anything all day, so thank you for that!
US here. Companies I work for use Teams, Zoom, Outlook, WebEx, RingCentral, GChat for comms.
Personally among friends and family, we use Signal.
Nobody I know uses WhatsApp or even has it installed.
I hope it all burns down.
As far as I know, Subscriber count is specific to your instance and not aggregated.
I put electrical tape over all of them. They’re unnecessary, they’re annoying.
I tried my best to build a new computer without any LEDs and I couldn’t. So now I just keep a piece of cardboard in front of my glass case side so I don’t have to look at that bullshit.
Yeah, yeah, it probably causes it to run hotter. I’ll take a little more heat, less performance, and possibly shorter overall component life over having to deal with those stupid lights.
I’d say there’s nothing wrong with it…
…but also what? If I run my A/C 8-12 hours a day for a month the bill is like $20 more, are you in California?
Always Be Looking.
Honestly, early on, I wasn’t reliably finding them. But that lasted maybe 6 months?
If I have a 6mo contract for example, I’m still applying for a couple jobs every week. I’m keeping in touch with recruiters that don’t suck at their job and building rapport with them. I’m pinging prior coworkers and just seeing who/what they know is available.
Obviously, soft skills and resume matter too. I have enough buzzy technologies under my belt that it increases the breadth of jobs I can apply for, which helps.
Yeah, it was rough at first, but not like…I was destitute by any means. And now with enough of a network built up I’m relatively confident that even if shit hit the fan, I could find a job inside of 2 weeks.
If you’re in the US (or I guess anywhere?) - just make sure to account for taxes…
