Maybe you fucked it up. But then again, maybe he did too. Or it was a mutual cock up. It’s hard to know. Even for those who lived through it.

Take your time to recover. Yoga helps! Exercise does too. Take care of yourself. Then slowly let yourself open up to the prospect of someone new. When you’re ready.

Your life is not fucked up. You have decades ahead. But you do have to go through the stages of grief and work your feelings through before you’ll be ready to try again.

Good luck!

Go to university. If you’re broke, go to a local community college for the first two years, get good grades, then transfer to the best school you can get into and afford to finish your degree. Your local state uni is probably just fine for undergrad. Plan at least a terminal Masters degree though.

Engineers often have poor self-esteem. You can learn to program. Anyone can. It just takes work and persistence. Algebra is mandatory. Geometry helps, especially if you’re doing graphics. Calculus will be very useful, but not necessary for most application level work. Begin with math. The rest is syntax and rules of thumb.

Have you ever worked a news desk? I have. It’s making sausage. You just caught a glimpse of someone dropping the meat and stuffing it back in. Write a letter to the editor with a correction if you want to help. Here, editorial complaints go nowhere and serve no purpose.

Typos happen. Shrug

“Yeah, but what about this typo I just found?”

It’s not your artwork. You go make your own thing if you want something different.

If only the comic author had crammed an entire dissertation worth of caveats in four panels to satisfy your need for completeness!

Putin approves of your message.

Now I’m hungry, and I just ate. Sigh.

Yeah, it was super fun!

Fell down ice skating like four days ago. Not the best skater!

Thanks! He’s 8. It gets easier as they get older. Until puberty. Then it just gets all fucked up. Lol

Preparing dinner for my kid. Getting him showered and put to bed. Then some late night work to meet a deadline.

SNW is definitely the best Trek since TNG in my view.

Hey, you’re an instance admin and this kind of collegial statement is entirely appropriate given your role here.

Me? I’m a newbie here. I don’t have much to lose. My assessment of that exchange is: she bonkers. But that’s just me.

That exchange is absolutely bonkers. I’m sorry but I have far less respect for Ada after reading that text exchange. Glad I don’t use that instance.
