Thank you!

I wish I had a better idea of industry norms. The company I originally worked at was willing to pay for udemy classes and similar and was known to put a couple of us up in important conferences where we could reap a lot of knowledge (and network.) Then we got bought and the new company doesn’t pay for shit. Has an education “stipend” to reimburse you for things you pay out of pocket towards education/training, but it has a yearly cap.

I can’t tell if I was privileged before the acquisition or just kind of fucked over afterwards.

There’s [email protected] (sorry not sure how to link a community) for wholesome memes, but I’m not sure this would qualify.

It was more of a knock off of power rangers if anything. (I think. Obviously it’s been a long time.)

I heard buying local is fine so we got some sandwiches from a local restaurant, but other than that, we just stayed in. So success on our parts I think!

I think when we die, we rejoin the essential je ne sais quoi of what makes reality what it is. It wouldn’t surprise me if that essence is reused in other things. It won’t be me, as I am now. It’ll be parts of me and parts of everything else, making something entirely new.
