Pros: high pay, it’s easy to find hybrid work, every day there’s something new to learn, it feels nice to help people.

Cons: On-call rotation and sometimes long hours when SHTF (like the Crowdstrike fiasco last year)

I’d recommend picking a specialization early on and stick to it. Avoid cybersecurity, those folks get called after-hours all the time for security alerts that are usually false-positives. Azure devops or D365 are very much in-demand and easily pay 6 figures without needing a degree. Microsoft has free training on learn.microsoft.com and you can take the cert exams for a few hundred bucks.

That’s that I like about IT - all I do is help people. I’ve had the privilege of working with some incredible nonprofits, and even playing a tiny part in their mission gives me hope.

You’re*

I’m a simple man. I see a blahaj, I upvote.

I’m gay and trans, and the amount of MAGA Trump voters who match with me are staggering. Not even for hookups, these guys genuinely want a relationship with a trans person. I truly don’t understand their logic.

Ironically half of them are on disability or other government programs. Wonder how they’re feeling about their vote now.

Oh man, Basshunter was huge in the chronically-online gamer space in the 2000s. His other songs are pretty good too.

To put it in perspective, the fact that they’re gaming on laptops and LCD monitors was an enviable flex when his songs released.

That’s a throwback. Let’s take it one step further and just get back on Ventrilo and play some DOTA. (For the younger folks who don’t get the reference: https://youtu.be/aTJncWndUB8 )

Please do not ever, under any circumstances, put a hammer inside of anyone’s vagina.

I have two servers, one Mac and one Windows. For the Mac I just map directly to the smb share, for the Windows it’s a standard network share. My desktop runs Linux and connects to both with ease.

Not gonna lie, I just map a network share and copy and paste through the gui.

Climate change and natural disasters aren’t happening if we simply don’t track it. Or at least that’s the logic they used during Covid.

Idk dude she looks like a standard middle aged woman to me. No need to go after her looks just because she’s a vile piece of shit human.

It’s nearly a foot shorter than my Bolt EV, so this thing is pretty small.

A lot of short bed trucks can extend the bed into the cab by folding down the rear seats. I would hope this truck can do the same.

I know this is a shitpost, but a dating community on Lemmy has potential.

Sadly there is absolutely no safe way to bike from my home to my work.

I’m not OP, but are there any particular YouTube channels you recommend for beginner makeup tutorials?

I have a Chevy Bolt with identical range and can confirm that range is halved in Winter. Still no big deal in urban areas. My 1-hour commute to the other side of the city is only 8 miles. I just charge the car every-other week for an hour. Ezpz.

Re: People giving you crap about detransitioning, I’m presently detransitioning after 12 years and still feel that my transition was the right choice and don’t regret a single thing. Looks like you got some great advice for your HRT here, so I hope you grab the bull of happiness by the horns and live your best life. And if the thing that makes you happy changes a year or a decade from now, so what? You can then just pursue that route with the same fervor. We’ve got one chance at happiness and no one gets to tell you how to do that. ❤️ You got this!

Just hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on the rebound on the med side.
