Y'all, it's still 2021 here in Texas... how is 2022 so far? 2021 and 2020 were real kicks in the balls, respectively, and I want to get a jump on preparing for a 2022 shitshow.

Thank you comrade :glomp: We'll get through!

Alright so far, champaigne was pretty nice, the cats are sleeping soundly, still plenty of holiday snacks to enjoy!

Well, good enough start, then. Happy New Years, y'all.

I mean I don't work in computer touching or art and have never worked a higher salary than general admin, but £100 an hour seems kind of excessive when there are people barely making £10 an hour.

250 pounds an hour would be what we charged for a DBA's service or one of our prosrv architects, and every second thinking about the work would be billable. 100 would be my baseline so I might start by offering 130+.

Full disclosure, I am utterly poo poo at negotiating.

The centrism really is painful, she’s not a bad person - she just sometimes says and thinks bad things (he finished, weakly).

What's the missing piece that moves from "not bad person" to "bad person"?

Yeah you also get to see the majority of things that make them a good person, and you rationalise the minority of bad things as not directly hurting anyone, and you try and live with it. Don’t we all?

I went with general misanthropy, myself...

e: this post is not an endorsement of misanthropy

The political/media system is completely dysfunctional broken and has been since at least 2010 (probably since... Iraq? Diana?

We warned y'all back in the 18th century. Of course clearly we didn't listen to our own advice and decided a Baron Harkonnen is even better than a King George.
