Most companies have a website that may list openings and an HR department you can contact to inquire about jobs if not. You need to figure out a way to network and make friends in the industry to have a good shot though, going to industry related conferences is one way to break in socially if you haven’t already make contacts.

Doing independent work and building up your own clients can sometimes also help, but until you can get in (and even after you do), it’s important to keep growing your professional network and make friends with whoever you can however you can. Social media can help if there are enthusiast communities or professional communities, but stuff like Linkedin can be a total shitshow so brace yourself there.

TBH they fired the QA team a long time ago.

No, really, that’s not a joke: They actually fucking did this.

The people who make the products shit are probably in leadership, so their jobs are fine. Even if they run the company into the ground, they’ll still be fine with their golden parachutes, already vast wealth, and uncanny ability to fail upward.

It would be even better but unfortunately you can’t exceed 100% wrong.

Wait, maybe you can, let me check the AI!

Bike path toll? That sounds made up.

How is completely fucking up literally 50% of the time outperforming exactly???

Other hobbies lke hiking, biking, etc. but if your only concern is cost, why not get an old computer for super cheap, put Linux on it, and play games thay don’t need high end specs?

Good thing I don’t have that shit on my phone (at least until Google forces it)

Just go figure out where you left it and pop it back on.

Sure, I just keep the clothes I had on right next to me if I have to go outside, but if there’s an intruder I’m not taking the time to get dressed (probably).

It’s a question that gets brought up every time someone mentions sleeping naked, that or a fire.

Neither have happened to me and I hope to continue that trend.

20 and before anybody asks what my plan is if someone breaks in: Anybody breaking in is gonna get fucked up by a dude with his Glock out and his cock out - one of many reasons why robbing me is a terrible idea (I’m also poor, so that’s yet another reason to skip my place).

I just watch free shit like Tubi, Pluto, Roku, YouTube, Vimeo, Peertube, DailyMotion, etc.

They could even be totally innocent, the mere accusation is enough, wtf?

The mere accusation causing someone to lose the Internet, which is vital to modern life, would be insane.

Additionally, it would do little to nothing to stop piracy.

Aesop Rock, is that you?

Yes, babies gasp. When my child was a baby, cold water (condensation dripping off a cup) made them gasp.

I have some experience in the ballpark of what you’re referring to and would say it’s somewhat situational: For example, I never used to think twice about joggers but after I started doing Muay Thai every time I hear footsteps closing in fast behind me I get an adrenaline dump.

One time I almost decked a jogger who passed real close, but as I was pivoting to bob, jab, and jump back outside of their range, I actually saw them and my hand went from a fist to a wave. I don’t think they even realized what almost happened, but I felt so fucking stupid.

I even quit wearing headphones when going for walks to prevent getting startled like that, but I guess the flip side is that I’m more difficult to jump now (which was kind of the goal of learning MT in the first place).

First responder training/experience can also make you hypervigilant when it comes to certain things, so I think it’s more fair to say, it just changes what can provoke the gasp/startle response.
