WELP

I've been grousing for weeks that our two person team is understaffed and stretched thin and I re-emphasized it today with my manager in our one-to-one after he re-emphasized that the business is really going to try to shore up how the app works and make it better and get more customers to use it.

I told him that if we do get more customers or start accommodating higher volume sends from big customers and we're really not pursuing any kind of simple automation for our work then we'll almost certainly see more compliance issues, meaning we'll have to continue to let things like projects and regular audits fall off the table while we scramble to keep at our core work of abuse reports, delistings, and Spamhaus listings.

He said that if that's how it would be then that's how it would be.

SO

head down do the work what happens, happens

Advancement? Research? Identifying patterns? Industry networking and face time?

nope

head down do the work what happens, happens

obsessed with the implication that kaiser took his translation earbuds out to bathe and then put them back in specifically so he could taunt bm's japanese players (but mostly isagi)

Being an introvert with ADHD is so wild because you will be at home. You will have gone to, at maximum, three places within your tiny apartment. One of those places includes your bed. You may have never even opened the front door much less gone outside that day. You may have not exchanged five words with your roommate, if you even have a roommate at all. 

And yet,

somehow,

you will have misplaced something.

And no matter how many times you check the three places that you have been in the last 24 hours, all within 50 feet of each other, you simply cannot find it.

Adrien's Best Is Never In The Show

At the time of writing this, the Miraculous Paris special has not long gone by (only a few days ago now). And between this special and the movie not terribly long before it, it has highlighted that Miraculous is never at its best when it is in its primary form.

The show is never the best form of the show.

And, in my opinion, it always comes back to the same reason. Oh, sure, there's a lot of reasons that I love the movie, and there's equally as many as to why Miraculous Paris is great, but there's one thing that stands out:

Adrien exists as a character independent of Marinette.

Now, this isn't a perfect metric of course, a lot of his drama in Miraculous New York tied back to Ladybug, and he was honestly rather superfluous in Miraculous Shanghai, but the movie and Miraculous Paris gave him some real characterisation. Even New York, for all its flaws, managed to land some points on that front by giving him a bit of trauma related to accidentally using Cataclysm on Uncanny Valley.

Miraculous Paris doesn't do terribly much with him, but he gets a nice little scene alongside Claw Noir, showcasing some vulnerability and internal pain that clearly gnaws at him.

And the movie? It has its flaws, but we are really getting some insight into his thoughts about his mother, about how deeply the loss of her wounded him.

This is what Adrien's fans have been clamoring for since we realised that the title of "Miraculous: The Adventures Of Ladybug And Chat Noir" was more than a little misleading: giving him some time to exist as a person that is independent of Ladybug/Marinette, as well as independent of his father.

Adrien in these pieces of the franchise gets to be Adrien, rather than Marinette's Love Interest, or Gabriel's Son.

So, going forward into the as-of-yet unaired Season 6? More of that please.

I mean this respectfully but if you are in public and have your volume up and blaring your tiktok for you page, I don't like you

I really wish we could stop abandoning all "old" tech in favor of newer, less accessible and expensive garbage.

Having adhd in a house with a dad who's idea of cleaning is throwing everything on the floor and sweeping it into the trash and a mom who doesn't care and throws stuff away to "teach you a lesson" is a fucking nightmare.

Redacted health problem that is ongoing and kinda just...should I be worried or do I just keep waiting + Redacted thing that's been everywhere the past few days but I find horrifically triggering in a way little else is but I can't seem to avoid it no matter how hard I try + it's fuckin February + all my usual brain shit

I have not had a single consistent emotion in???? and I feel like I'm in an endless period of limbo

[ghostzzy]

there is some sort of near-undetectable low repetitive noise happening from.. the air conditioning unit? the shared-wall neighbor’s pipes? a machine down the street somewhere? impossible to say . but it is going to kill me.
