As a Canadian another positive thing about this is that it reassured me that the US is too incompetent to launch any kind of surprise attack on us.

It brings me comfort knowing they aren’t competent enough to surprise attack Canada

Disco inferno baby

Huh. My dad’s credit card statement shows he spends a lot of money there. I’ll have to figure out where he’s hiding the dysons

This entire thread talking about how a distro is better than the next because you “only” have to update keyrings to update so even basic users should get it.

For legal reasons I cannot have any opinion on the following: Gestures broadly at everything in the Middle East

A metal red uno reverse card sits in my wallet. It was a gift from my girlfriend and an acknowledgement of our in joke of replying no u to compliments and I love yous.

Don’t worry, we’re in the worst one

No ridicule here, only empathy. It’s a rough hand you’ve been dealt. I wish I had some magic advice to give you but I don’t have any relevant knowledge of Cambodia or how to better secure a life for yourself. What I can say is that being in your 20’s you still have plenty of time to figure your life out.

You’re educated and in tech so it’s possible some remote work could come your way, or that you could try your hand at creating something of your own to try and market. Contributing to GitHub projects might help you make some connections and networking for jobs. If all else fails, there’s no shame in doing some retail, sales, or labour work while you wait for the tech market to improve (I’m in IT myself, it’s rough out there right now with all these layoffs.).

Either way, please don’t make any rash choices you can’t take back. It may seem pretty hopeless right now but time has a way of changing that perspective. The world is better with you in it.

Much love from your Canadian brother :)

Thanks, I’m pleased to say it was well worth the wait. Here’s hoping your patience is just as rewarded.

I sympathize, I recently ended nine months of job hunting. I found the internet a great source of free content to enjoy which much improved my penny pinching months. Libraries are also a wonderful asset to the budget conscious

I’m a 10-15 guy myself

Fuck clapping back in a country with that high a level of access to guns and that little mental health access. Anyone could have a gun and I’m not playing that game. I’m not usually too confrontation adverse but I’d change my name to Mat (First name Floor) before arguing with a weirdly aggressive American.

Fuck it, I’m switching to TempleOS

Hi, great write up with good info. I’d recommend some formatting though as without breaks it’s just a massive wall of text. Thanks for contributing to the discussion with such valuable insights!

Hello world

Took me nine months of applications. Nothing for 7 months, suddenly 3 offers in a month. I got a hell of a good step up from my part time IT gig though, so it was worth the trouble.

Task failed successfully

You don’t have to, but it sure helps
