  • Ten years ago when I first graduated game development with honours, there wasn't any local jobs in my field or studios that would bring me over, so while working minimum wage full time for a few years I released a video game solo and several smaller projects that all made no money, and then I finally got hired.... at a shit starter job with a 1.5 hour commute time by bus. Meanwhile I had friends with wealthy parents and connections who got hired immediately.

    I released more projects, and was applying to other jobs during my lunch hours, and a year later I got a software job that doubled my salary and now I am doing well. I paid off all my loans and then bought a townhouse last year at 30. I don't find recruiters now, they find me.

    I do not like the idea of other people having to go through what I did. My early 20's were a hellish grindfest that no one should have to do. Genz has it even worse and I have seen it in the workplace.

    I don't know what to tell you, other than you're not alone. Most people have a huge reality check in their 20s and adulthood hits hard... because we're not taxing the billionaires.

  • We could really use a movement to get more people to try adding beans, peas, and tofu to their grocery list. I wasn't able to stick to not eating meat, but sticking to eating less meat by adding alternatives to my grocery list turned out to be quite easy.

  • I have seen my family doctor many times since then. No worries.

    This one time 10 years ago I drove to my family doctor's office without an appointment and got lucky that it was a walk in day.

    I saw my doctor within an hour of arriving and it cost me nothing.

  • Our emissions are already terrible. We do not need to destroy the earth more.

  • Alright I'm going to need all of your suggestions as this is the project I'm working on right now.

    A bought a small townhouse in Ontario 7 months ago and I have a tiny yard.

    The yard had mostly grass, but had a little bit of moss, crab grass, and clover. There is a small garden, and many dirt patches in the yard.

    I have spread clover seed in the yard, especially in the dirt patches.

    Then I weeded the garden area, removed about half the rocks but left some in the garden, I have my mother coming over next month to help me pick local garden flowers, and I had to pull a tiny tree out because it was planted right beside the foundation of the building and would eventually cause damage.

    What else should be added to the lawn? Should I be pulling out the crabgrass? What wildflowers are native to Ontario?

  • ...We can't keep doing this. Why do people still so consistently vote to destroy the environment?

  • Let's focus on things that don't dedicate us to a tip-based economy.

    To my knowledge, the only change to tips we need is that if your tips are put into a pool to be spread amongst the staff, which is a common practice in restaurants so that the chefs and dishwashers get tips, then the owner can't include themself in the people to get paid from that pool.

    I dated a girl for a while in Ottawa where the owner was taking a huge cut of her tips that way.
