An update on this: I sent them a counter offer email, and they bumped it up to $55k. I accepted. I start work in a week and a half! It's nice to have a little more security again, but I'm still going to fight for everything I can get. And I know that I deserve so much more 😎

Just an insight into my current stressed out situation: I'm in salary negotiations with a new job. During interviews they told me "on the high end ~$60k". What they offered me is $45k. Not only is that not enough, I know what this role should pay cause I had this exact title last year.

I think there genuinely are a lot of Americans who see this as a necessary step in US foreign relations and diplomacy. They're going to keep applauding this move. They also don't realize the disaster they're sowing, and won't until it's time to start reaping.

When I open this app, my timeline immediately jumps to the most recent posts, instead of where I last was scrolling. Is there a way to change that?

Maybe it's just because I was closeted and gay at the time but... does anyone actually enjoy high school prom? Who in high school has their social, academic, and romantic life so together that they want to dance in front of their classmates for fun? Because that's my nightmare.

I didn't watch the Oscars, but you'd think from the internet buzz that No Other Home just won Best Picture

This is the level of smoke that Democrats should have for every fucking day of the Trump presidency. This attitude for every single cut he tries to make. And the fact that it's taking Kathy fucking Hochul to set an example is an embarrassment.

Government funding expires March 14 and there's a chance they'll need Democratic votes to prevent a shutdown so that could be a good time to demand that Musk and his teens are out of government and an impartial investigation into what they've done thus far

These dumb motherfuckers "love" unregulated capitalism because they all think they're the smartest and will be the one pulling the scam. They don't realize that they're the marks. Until it's too late.

Reminder that Democrats chose to let this old man with cancer lead their opposition optics campaign based on the argument "It was my turn"

Why can't we get Democrats coming for every single pedophile republican with this energy? They're spoiled for choice.

someone pointed me to this paper today. one notable thing about it is that Trump is speedrunning all of the mistakes which bring down autocrats simultaneously, without having clearly consolidated any source of regime support. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Am I crazy, or are the graph trends from the immediate pre-Great Depression nearly fucking identical to the current graph trends for the years we have so far?

If the Eagles win the Super Bowl, that would be funny, but if they lose that would be even funnier. As far as I'm concerned, it's a win-win situation.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Good. I hope that this is the best that establishment Democrats can do. This pasty white unpopular stale slice of moldy bread is a void of charisma. People do not buy what he is selling. And any real challenger who isn't afraid to show their teeth will tear out his throat.

Today has sucked for us all, but I've got good news: You deserve to be happy. I deserve to be happy. We all deserve to be happy. Go chase that happiness.
