Sounds great!

Valve’s new game Deadlock features a playable gargoyle-brought-to-life named Ivy who’s art direction was very clearly “Make a Gargoyles fan character”.

Not true, no one member of a hierarchy need be a moron for the structure itself to generate inefficiencies. I also tend to be over-critical of my own output, when I measure it objectively against coworkers it’s often higher even if it doesn’t feel that way. Awful puritan-style work ethic. Not to toot my own horn but, my boss and their boss did make a safe choice.

Real answer: I have one of those jobs. I have no immutable advice, everyone’s mileage will vary, but some pointers:

• After you get proficient at a skill, use it to job hop every few years. Job hopping is a great way to leap up the wage ladder.
• Never seek out or accept an in-office position unless it’s your first job or two.
• Avoid the FAANG / MAG7 type companies because they will chew you up and burn you out.
• Never seek out or accept a management role of any sort. The pay to work bump is terrible and going back down looks awful on a resume.
• Interact with coworkers and be nice, don’t actually be a ghost. Nobody wants to get rid of the friendly, engaged person.
• I went to a “big name” uni. My major has nothing to do with my field of work today, but I cannot discount the fact that this single line on my resume could have opened some doors. However I have a feeling that nobody ever verifies my degree with my alma mater.

Things change.

When is the right time?

Rhetorical question. Your answer doesn’t matter. The people who are willing to move ahead will do so with or without you.

Four incremental healthcare reforms over a 38-year political career is not a meaningful comparison to AOC. That’s a real stretch, mydude.

Stop spamming

Well I meant it as a thought-starter, the subtext is no better time than now.

It’ll always be the wrong time.

Touch grass

Few imagined her winning in The Bronx, and yet.

I don’t think those types are comfortable going outside long enough to actually vote. Doesn’t seem like a real constituency to me.

Yes, but also I don’t think the Democrats have any stronger candidate to run against Republicans. Most of them can’t even meaningfully speak against Trump. If they run another wishy-washy centrist there’s a much greater chance that they lose to disillusionment yet again. AOC is the closest they have to Bernie Sanders and they’d either be idiots or snakes to not do so. Personally, she’s probably the only potential presidential hopeful out there who I would enthusiastically vote for.

Literally impossible lol

Anarchism is not no government, anarchism is full and universal participation in governance.

Oh yeah? Well I’m gonna anarchist harder.

Hey buddy, are you in the west? Because the last I checked, not a single western nation has actually economically and politically pariahed the United States. You work on your government, many here are doing about all we can short of throwing our lives away and we could use more support.

According to Apollo astronauts, moon dust smells like spent gunpowder.
