It’s been a decade or three since I read dragonlance but Raistlin was my favorite of the group.
His outcome from his test left him fucked yea… And he seemingly got the raw end of the deal… Except for somehow binding his soul to Fistandantulus making him essentially harnessing the power of one of the strongest mages of all time or something…
So yeah can only see death and decay but gained immense power and he craved that so no decision for him
His test. Yeah his twin was the brawn and after nearly dying in his trails the masters made it appear as if his strong swordsman brother was also magical - and saved the day via magic - forcing him into a rage and killing the image of his brother. So yea a bit of jealousy lol
Adult me would probably laugh at the characters now, but Raistlin was easily the most flushed out character that wasn’t bland as all get out - looking at you Tannins Half Elven

If you feel, in an interview, that you’re being negatively judged. Leave. You are interviewing them just as much as they, you. Sure there is a slightly different power dynamic at play but the point of contempt and feeling like they’re doing you a favor shouldn’t exist.
I worked at an agency that had one of the execs always wear black. Same thought process, it eliminates a thought process better spent used elsewhere - or so implied.
Reality is society tends to frown on automatons and when you have no personal style you come off as a robot.
YouTube slowing itself down to unusable made me write a local extension that takes any YouTube watch link and opens it in yewtu.be my life has been better since. Fuck you tube’s stance. You’re gonna make the experience terrible I’ll watch your content via another client.
I was unemployed for nearly a year recently. IT work is inundated with talent pool bc of the FAANG downsizing about a year ago. . It’s coming back but slowly.
Sounds like you’re depressed which has the awesome side effect of altering how you would typically approach and perform in an interview - not in an ideal way. Being cognizant of that may help. Maybe you’re not but I know when I had the numbers you’re talking about sending resumes etc, I was pretty down. Each rejection took a little toll. Maybe try changing your resume up a bit, and practice soft skills for interviewing? Might help take time away from feeling bad about it-which I get.
Microsoft just fired like 1100 employees from the Blizzard/Activision section. Google just laid off a few weeks ago. Amazon just laid off a bunch of Twitch workers a few weeks ago.
shit… haven’t been paying attention then. damn. good call- i stand corrected. i thought there was a slight uptick in jobs but i guess that was leading up to the fall.
why does q4-q1 always suck in this industry? oh yea … gotta show profitability for taxes. right.
Could literally be the meter part if the unit which can be removed and replaced in less than 30s. Push plastic clips, pops off dead meter attach new one. Company now has a more accurate, allegedly, meter on their property you agree to maintain when you buy the house.
Oh, I’m not certain she doesn’t understand. Performative art. She got used to performing in a way her main audience (mango mussolini et al) enjoyed in the no jury case, with state level Judge Engoran - that she thinks she can use the same tricks that make him smile on a federal judge.
To me this is hubris, not ignorance. To be clear there is a fair bit of both, but thus is show work not trial work.
Her inability to properly file evidence is her ignorance. Sass is for show imo.
After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025....
I’m the asshole who liked the og show and host Killborn. I didn’t watch it initially when Stewart took over. It was a different show… Man what an idiot I was… While I liked the og version Stewart made it so much better. Glad to see him back in some form.
