It's just as bad as reddit, just way less people in general.

Don't you dare consider the nuance of any topic, political or otherwise.

I'm a designer, which is a well-known profession, but I design substations, which almost no one I've run into has heard of.

Substations are like giant jungle-gyms for electricity. They're a grouping of electric structures that transfer high-voltage electricity to low-voltage, or low voltage to high voltage. They're a major part of our electricity distribution system. You drive by at least one every day, most likely.

I got into it by chance. Right place, right time. I went back to school and got my AS in drafting for industrial design and manufacturing. I applied to this job on accident, thinking it was for manufacturing, then when I was offered an interview, accepted it despite the mixup. Why not? They offered about double what other jobs were for a drafter, so I took it.

8 months into the job, a designer position opened up, so I interviewed for that and got the promption!

Door is still wide open, despite the general idea that drafters are becoming less of a demand. Based on my experience, they're sorely needed, especially for civil jobs. Also I get paid higher than a friend of mine who got her masters in interior architecture (also a drafting/design gig), with just my AS. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. Totally worth it.

My problem with scifi and movies is that most of them are scary/horror. Not so much the case recently, but I remember walking the scifi section being mashed in with the horror section.

I watch YouTube during work, so that. My Google drive account. And now lemmy replaced reddit.

I still go on reddit, but only like once every couple of weeks now.

Tim Dillon Podcast. Dry, east coast type humor where he goes over and comments on current happenings. I stopped listening for a while once his producer/part cohost parted ways with him, but I've been getting back into it again. His rants and tangents always make me laugh.

Tooth And Claw. Hosted by a wildlife biologist, and his friend and brother, they go over animal attacks. All sorts of animal attacks. They have great chemistry, and I love that they tell you how to best survive if you get attacked by said animal. I don't know if it's morbid fascination or what but I can't get enough.

I'm scared shitless of bears now though. I mean, they were always scary, but now I know all the ways in which they can kill you. :(

I'm one of those who can't. Temptation to nap is too strong. Also I have that procrastination issue where I'd rather be cleaning the floor with a toothbrush than do work, so it's hard not to do housechores when I hit a wall in my day.

On top of that, I need more face-to-face socialization. I just do. I need to go somewhere that's not my house every day or I spiral and it's not pretty.

Put all the spit-focusd onlyfans out of buisness.

Ohh, a bit of honey is a great idea!

Home baked kale chips.

Dry off the kale, rip the leaves into bite-sized bits and toss with 1tblspoon olive oil, the add some salt, pepper, garlic powder and chilli powder (if you like a bit of heat). Then, arrange kale flat on a baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 300f. Let them cool for 10 minutes.

So delicious. Perfectly crispy and salty.

Lol. What are you watching?

Plus, no way would it ever stay at that price. Nothing ever does. The only service I pay for now is spotting, and that's just to have ad-free music on my half-hour drive to work.
