I got wfh briefly when our offices flooded, and whatever undiagnosed things I have going on in my brain would not let me focus on my work in any way, shape, or form.

I wasn’t running around doing home things or playing video games or anything. I was sat in front of my computer, mentally incapable of doing the job I was trained in and skilled at. My brain just refused to go into work mode. My anxiety spiked and I got so frustrated at my mental block that I was in tears at one point. As soon as the officer was open, I returned before anyone else.

I like the idea of wfh, and will definitely try it again one day, but it seems that I need the change of environment to get my brain into gear.

“This is a true story. It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.”

For real though, this urban legend has been around for decades. Why do we need AI to pretend it’s real?

Double edged sword. I was into lock picking as a teen. When my family found ourselves in the same situation, I leapt into action and got the side door open in no time.

My mother freaked out at how easy it was to get into our house without a key, and went on an anxiety fueled journey of kitting the house out with extra security. It wasn’t a bad idea to up our security, but I felt horrible for stressing her out by trying to do a good deed.

Benefit of the doubt that you aren’t asking in bad faith.

Most people aren’t demanding Mullvad fire the founder, but that also doesn’t mean that we have to give him money to donate to fascists.

Mullvad are free do what they like with their right wing founder. Just like customers are free to refuse to fund anti-immigration policies. If Mullvad doesn’t like that, it’s up to them to decide how to appeal to customers.

Nobody is denying that Mullvad is a good product, but I need this specific vpn less than I need a safer future for my children.
