Don’t bomb it down a slope you don’t know (snowboarding). Someone pointed me to a “hospital” which turned out to be a private clinic and my insurance didn’t cover the ridiculously overpriced CT scan.

It was my first real job out of college. It was at a university “group” (literally 3 people at the time including me) planning to spin out into a company.
It started with stupidly long hours until covid hit. Then things were okay for a while, we were just working on our prototype product at a comfortable pace. Then this prototype started nearing completion and shit hit the fan.
First off, I was asked to be a co-founder. This would apparently entail working evenings and Sundays (!!!) on company-related stuff so the normal working hours stayed free for working on the product. I declined.
Then, the team lead started making promises. Lots of promises, for demonstrations of our product. And every fucking time he never told us until the last fucking moment leaving us scrambling to prepare something. At some point there were a couple of 12-hour days and that’s when I said fuck it and handed in my resignation.
What also played a part is that I wanted to do more software development for quite some time but the team lead kept blocking me in that.
They don’t care about the heat wave in southern Europe because northern Europe has had a relatively cold and rainy July.
The slightly less dumb ones now say “Yeah it’s happening but we shouldn’t fight it, we should just accept it” (and then proceed to complain about refugees, which will increase x1000 if we don’t do anything but they don’t make the connection)
The dumber ones say that it’s “natural cycles”
I pirate when it’s literally less effort than buying. This mostly applies to E-books. Also I pirate a lot of shows and movies because fuck subscribing to 10 different streaming services.
