  • There's just so few decent FTP clients out there, and all of them are very ugly lol

  • Why are so many big-city condos sitting empty? | About That (12:18 video)
  • Landlords aren't real people tbh. Fuck em.

  • Barcelona will eliminate ALL tourist apartments in 2028 following local backlash: 10,000-plus licences will expire in huge blow for platforms like Airbnb
  • On one hand, biting that hand that feeds

    On the other, I've lived in buildings with AirBnBs and they're a scourge. The owners and renters of short term rental properties are mostly (not all) awful - residents should be owning property, not spoiled rich landlords eating up space for tourists. Fuck AirBnB.

    I also visited Spain last month and I've never felt so unwelcomed in my life while in Barcelona and would never go back, so I guess the anti-tourism is working 😂

  • How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?
  • I did notice that the only people not opting for WFH/hybrid at my last job were all the married-with-kids types who hated being around their family and used work as an escape. It was really sad to see lol

  • Some company heads hoped return-to-office mandates would make people quit, survey says
  • Not shitty at all! Cross training and backups are your employer's problem, not yours. It may hurt you if you go on vacation or are sick, but it hurts them even more when you leave. Job security is job security and I'll take it lol

  • Some company heads hoped return-to-office mandates would make people quit, survey says
  • Funnily enough I heard that internally they were talking about asking to have me come back as a contractor (with insane pay) but I was so much enjoying my time away from such a toxic company that nothing could make me return. I took a 7-month staycation after quitting just to unfuck how much they fucked up my brain, self-worth, and anxiety

  • Joke's on them, I quit my 11-year job with a company enacting RTO and it fucked them over because I had no backups and very little cross training my entire time there. Ex-employees have told me things went to shit after I left. Good. 😂

  • Laura Garcia-Caro loses bronze metal by celebrating too early
  • Yeah they all look silly and gangly already

  • What's been the craziest moment of your life?
  • One really oddly specific realization I made a few years ago.

    First, they were filming The Last Of Us (season 1) in my city for a few days, on the street behind mine - the street was closed off to keep the crowds out and from the crowds making noise, but they couldn't close my alley that lead into the street (through a parking lot) because it was the only way for cars in some of the buildings to leave. So the alley remained open and the parking lot connecting it to the filming location was open because they were going to have shots take place on it.

    So it meant that while crowds were forming around both sides of the block trying to see into this street, I happened to notice that my back alley and the lot connecting it to the filming location were wide open, with only some lighting people and production assistants there. Since they couldn't not let me be there in my own alley, I asked if I could stand quietly on the sidelines and watch the production because that interests me, and maybe I could get a glimpse of a dreamy Pedro Pascal (they said sure and I stood in the alley and moved when they had to film it).

    Now unrelated, but a a year earlier, my spouse and I used a real estate agent to look for condos in the area, but A) didn't like anything and B) didn't like how pushy this agent was - she was loud and manipulative and kept trying to convince me that I liked something when I didn't. We ended up ditching her and doing a private sale to buy the condo. She, in an email, called my husband "a man of no integrity" because she was pissy we didn't earn her an easy commission I guess.

    So the strangest moment of my life was standing in the alley nearly alone, when Ana Torv, Bella Ramsay, and Pedro Pascal start walking towards me and stop 10 feet away in the parking lot. They're chatting and preparing to shoot a now-cut scene of them emerging from the parking lot onto the destroyed street. I just look like a production assistant because I'm the only onlooker there and am a little starstruck and just watching, when our attempted real estate agent, who has an office on my street and has no idea that filming is happening, or cares,, walks through the alley screaming on her phone in the most loud and obnoxious voice. I just remember looking over and thinking "oh god, that stupid awful bitch is disturbing the filming" and when I turned back, Pedro Pascal was looking annoyed at her too because she was the loudest thing on set without knowing she was a disturbance.

    Long story short, the strangest sentence I can truthfully construct is "Pedro Pascal and I were both pissed at my former real estate agent at the same time"
