the way george checked the weather, thought about the start, and practiced his late breaking. he’s truly a mastermind and it still baffles me how he’s still left out of the top drivers conversation!

one other thing that really makes me roll my eyes in dc fics is the insistence that the bats can take down anyone, even their most op teammates. like... you guys know a character doesn't have to be the most physically capable one in the room in order to be interesting or strong in their own right, right? look me in the eye. cass had to save tim from shrike. bane broke bruce's back. mind-controlled kon snapped tim's arm like a twig. trying to make them ~always~ able to counter even the most powerful opponents is so boring im sorry like they can and do lose fights sometimes, and that's interesting actually. they are all incredibly competent martial artists, yes! that doesn't mean they can win every single matchup. that's simply neither the point of nor the strength in their characters.

People saying "Don't boycott Eurovision or Israel will win!!" - they already won the second they got past the semifinals. Israel is going to be the winner of this year, especially with the way things are going down at the moment.

You wanted Israel to not win? You guys should've made sure they didn't get to the finals to begin with- though I wouldn't doubt EBU would've changed some votes or pulled some bullshit to add Israel in the finals regardless of making it or not.

f1 tv showing kimi a little too much for my liking than mentioning the driver market so i’m so basically that means kimi to merc!

i have a seven-game winning streak on Sequence, the board/card game that my gaming group plays occasionally. when we first added this game to the rotation i couldn't figure out the strategy but then it clicked and i have not lost a game since. i go into each game now knowing im going to win and so far i'm always right. its gotten a little ridiculous

The fact you can get 3rd in f3 and be the 2nd highest place rookie, and still get dropped by your driver academy is a pretty fucking awful look for driver academies

honestly feels like there must just be something wrong w/ me that I’ve been working here for almost two years and it still feels like I deserve to die when i try to make small talk in the office/let alone befriend people. maybe i just suck but i do try.

every time I start to convince myself things are fine, maybe it’s in my head, just focus on the work etc something else will happen that will make me wonder if I’m just like inherently awful and not worth dealing with or getting to know.

most of my previous jobs I’ve worked remotely or one on one w/ one supervisor/directly w/ clients (tutoring/editing etc) so I genuinely don’t know if it’s normal to still feel this way/feel this way so much in an office environment. like not to be a brat but will i be allowed to participate in water cooler convo after 3 years or do i need to be in editorial for that

I'm not your mutual but I would like to hear your thoughts 😬

Just don't put on his tag so people won't see it.

I'm disappointed in his performance on the sprint shoot out as well, but in the sprint was there much more to do?

i have something due thursday i was going to do tonight (busy tomorrow evening) and all i did was open my notebook, say, "wow! this is going to be more work than i thought!" and then i did not do any more of it

At work they seem to think I'm an electrical engineer. I'm just. Just so baffled by this. If there's one thing I'm not, surely it's that.

Like, ok, the mechanical engineers think I'm a mechanical engineer, and that's fine. The bosses think everyone is a mechanical engineer, or can be, given half a chance. They think the actual mechanical engineers--the ones with masters degrees in mechanical engineering--are simply the most experienced, but that anyone else could do their job slightly worse but basically successfully. But the mechanical engineers treat me like I'm one of them in a way they don't with other physicists, trust me with tools that they wouldn't trust others with, one of them even gave me admin privileges to some equipment that they won't give my supervisor admin privileges to. Apparently they thought I was going to be working 3/4 time as a physicist and 1/4 time as a laser engineer when I was hired; my previous employer killed that possibility (the one real concession he got with his threatened lawsuit was that I'm not allowed to work on the insides of any lasers for two years) but that's still how they think of me, as basically one of them. But that's just the mechanical engineers who see me that way.

When I applied I said I had mechanical engineering experience and software experience. I hate software, but you've gotta put that in your resume, if you can do it even a little bit. My supervisor remembered that and took it seriously, and I do actually do some software engineering when I have to, but the bosses mainly don't want me working on software.

But somehow the bosses think I'm an electrical engineer, instead. That I should be a major bridge between the electrical engineering department and physics. That that's my rare expertise rather than (in my opinion) my most embarrassing incompetence, the one thing I try to avoid having come up in job interviews because I can't find a positive spin for it.

I mean. It's kind of good, because the company president sees himself as being an electrical engineer as well as a physicist. So he's like, oh, we have this extra competency in common! And it's also kind of good that the skillset that I'm the least secure about, other people have convinced themselves that I'm good at--although I think that's partly because they haven't really asked that much of me, and partly because I know a bit about rf/mw. But, like, I can barely design an inverting amplifier or a low pass filter and then put it together with large components from a kit (although it'll look reasonably nice if I do, because my soldering is decent). And I've only actually laid out a PCB for manufacturing exactly once in my entire life. But it's, idk, weird. I rarely get anything that looks like imposture syndrome, but I can feel it creeping in a little bit here. (Except, of course, it's justified.)

i know its 90% venting at the bleakness of american politics but like...

it really fucking blows to know that most people are probably not gonna vote this year. i cant wait for the fallout of that.

I just came up with the hardest fucking Third War animatic while listening to Tenet by Heilung. An old scarred druid recounting his experience to enthralled children who never knew a world before the conflict, close-ups of Sentinels young and old, some stern and scowling, others barely hiding their fear, faces flickering in firelight, funeral rites, and exhaustion and solemnity and hope intertwined when it's all over.

google search should i be concerned that every time i tell people how i process social interaction they say i would be a good lawyer
