I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.
A hopeful path towards peace for people who struggle with stress at their job.
Tools that are used to create human misery on a mass scale.
MS office software engineer?
Nope. I’m going to stay vague so I won’t DOX myself, but the only stable job I could find in years is for an organization that doesn’t have the best intentions for humanity (or profit strangely enough) and actively hurts people.
I was in the same boat. When I couldn’t take it anymore I quit. I have been unemployed for just under two years now. Whatever you end up doing, stay strong.

Reverse filantropy. Quite remarkable indeed!
Duct tape and cardboard solutions to questions like “How do I get these two pieces of photography equipment to work together?”
I recommend you try gaffer tape instead of duct tape.
Advantages:
- Remains flexible and removable forever.
- Looks nicer, a cool matte black or manynother colors.
Where I get off making this recommendation:
I needed a light-excluding bellows for a photographic project. I made one using black illustration stock and gaffer tape. It worked extremely well on the first version and held up to hundreds of cycles of extension/compression. My application was sensitive to pinhole light leakage and there was none.
It would have lasted longer but that was the end of that project.
My two cents. I love DIY stuff!
Fair comment. I used gaffer tape a lot at the beginning of my journey because it was convenient and available, but everything I built fell apart eventually, so I started using cloth duct tape. I recently discovered aluminium duct tape which is genuinely amazing. It’s like regular cloth duct tape, but it can be shaped really precisely, and it holds it’s shape even if everything else falls apart around it.
Also a fair point. My devices did not need to last indefinitely and I found the gaffer tape to be very forgiving when prototyping, allowing removal and replacement as I worked out the kinks.
maybe systems. my work tends to be getting one or more systems to do something a business wants.
I create useless applications for daily use. Now im working on an organizer that reads my work ins and outs to control my work hours and eventually cash in free days due to excess working hours.
Novels and short stories. Also very large children, carved wooden staffs, and random pieces of art.

Time to get off lemmy. Go for a run/jog/walk in the cold to the nearest stationery store and buy some pen and paper. Then get home and get to writing.
You can do it!
