This is so discourageing! Of all the job offers that I can find none are Jobs that I would actually wanna take if I actually did get the offer, because all require commuting over an hour or moving to I city that I would never wanna live in. This is just downright depressing! In the past 3 weeks I have not even seen one offer that was in my current location or even close by. I just want a new job not an entire life re-orientation!

It is just so sad that we live in such a career-driven double standard society where it is totally normalized that as a young person, you HAVE to be ready give up your ENTIRE LIFE and the place you picked to be your home ANYTIME to find a new job. But on the same time you are expected to be ready to settle and have a family from 30 onwards. And with a family you are often still required to move your entire family to a new place for a new job and it's totally normalized!

And overall economy is just shit and the field I work in is not doing well despite the fact that it was flourishing during the pandemic.

I blame everything on Merz at this point because I need a scapegoat to vent my anger!

So during my well deserved work break I almost got injured by a FALLING object,I was catching up with a coworker,and one of the florescent lights just fell,It landed directly next to me,I happened to be listening to one of my favorite bands BlackThorn and I didn't even flinch at all and started laughing at the whole thing,interesting day for sure....

The antidote for brain rot is books.
The antidote for brain rot is books.

Read books. Encourage your friends and families to read.
Read to learn. Read to satisfy curiosity. Read to understand the world. Read to spark creativity and imagination. Read to improve communication. Read to enhance empathy. Read just for fun. But read.

Who does this ? Caterpillars on the eyelids ? wtf?

Hmm either the company I work for has just given me some incredible leverage to practially demand a raise or the whole thing has a big catch and they hope that I am to gullible to see it.

They recently laid off 20 % of the employees becasue of funding problems. Unfortunateley they also fired the person who was appointed officer for biological safetey... Now they desperateley need another employee to become that. But there is only a handfull of people who can thake the position as it has special requirements. Most suitable people don't want it because it is a hassle. I am amongst those few suited ones and they just asked me yesterday if I were interested in getting that extra qualification.
TBH I don't really want the hassle that comes with it and I am planning to leave the company as soon as I find a better job anyway. But the qualification will look very hot on my resume...
I have been fighting for a wage increase. Since I know they are desparate, I could practically bribe them into giving me a BIG fat raise or I will just not do it.
What do I have to loose? They can only say no then I'll also say no too. So what? It is a voluntary extra position, they cannot fire me for declining the responsibility. For me, things will stay same and they'll still have no one to be Biological safetey officer. Their probelm.

But I am not trusting them anymore so I kinda smell a rat (not the cute cuddly kind that smells like love and popcorn)...what could it be???
Will I have to give up my project lead position? Is it a degradation in disguise? WHAt could be the catch???
Time to do some research....

Trump announces the USA won't use force to acquire Greenland, wants immediate negotiations. But admits, he still has some degree of difficulty locating Greenland on a map.

Dangerous situation this coming weekend. We could be measuring snow accumulations in feet. That's the best case scenario. If it's more of an ice storm, it could be catastrophic. Massive infrastructure and power grid damage could occur, so here's hoping we just get buried with snow.

This made me laugh. Idiot activists…..
Activist: "Going vegan will save the planet."
Farmer: "Going vegan means importing more food from industrial monocultures."
Activist: "But local beef uses too much land."
Farmer: "That land won't grow anything else."
Activist: "Then leave it wild."
Farmer: "It was grazed by wild ruminants for millennia."
Activist: "Cattle aren't wild."
Farmer: "Cattle are doing what wild aurochs did."
Activist: "The methane though."
Farmer: "Has been part of the ecosystem forever."
Activist: "We need to reduce animal agriculture."
Farmer: "And grow what on this rocky hillside?"
Activist: "Something sustainable."
Farmer: "Grass is sustainable. That's why it's growing here."

Thank you Israel, France, and Japan! Scientific and peer reviewed studies on neurodevelopmental disorders and genetic conditions, not pseudoscience and uneducated hunches.
