  • oh there are lots of ways.

    unfortunately a lot of the time, it doesn’t get any easier.

    that being said, it all starts with knowing and understanding that, if you love who you are, those mistakes helped make you who you are.

    personally that helped me come to peace with the fact that i had fucked up so badly.

    next is atonement to yourself and others. that means learning to prevent the mistake from occurring again in the future, helping others that you recognize are making the same mistake so that they don’t have to suffer like you did, and if you hurt someone, apologizing to that person for both their and your own healings sake. sometimes it also means apologizing to yourself.

    you do have to understand, though, that people change over time. our mistakes make us who we are. and you are not the same person you were when you originally made the mistake.

    last and most unpleasant advice i can give is to allow the feelings to wash over you. our brain is capable of experiencing so many emotions, and each emotion serves a very important purpose. we tend to lead lives that shy away from the unpleasant emotions, but there is value to be had in experiencing them. feeling the shame of making a mistake can drive you to never make that mistake again. that’s valuable, even if it is unpleasant for a time.

    it gets better bro.

    man what an age to be alive, the age of spin.

    gone are the days that we saw true outrage or despair happen in the moment.

    now we must properly primp and curate how we will be perceived candidly, which is just about the dumbest and pettiest shit i can think of.

    “i want my profile to look like i was really sticking it to the man” is an admittedly silly look imo

    that being said, go off and you be you because what matters is you got off the shithole of reddit.

    what speaks louder than demonstrative curated comment history is lots of people leaving en masse and going to another service. the more people come over, the more others will adopt the new standard.




  • i worked for a hybrid hosting and cloud provider that was partnered with Electronic Arts for the SimCity reboot.

    well half way through they decided our cloud wasn’t worth it, and moved providers. but no one bothered to tell all the outsourced foreign developers that they were on a new provider architecture.

    all the shit storm fail launch of SimCity was because of extremely shitty code that was meant to work on one cloud and didn’t really work on another. but they assumed hurr hurr all server same.

    so you guys got that shit launch and i knew exactly why and couldn’t say a damn thing for YEARS
