So this past week has been terrible for the internet. I feel mixed up... Whenever this happens I tend to revert to media from before 2016. Old games, movies, etc. Also Canadian or European movies/shows. BBC (good), Hallmark (good because bad), and whatever else. Is this normal? I don&#39;t know. It sure beats reading AI slop on linkedin and attempting to find posts worth commenting on so people will talk to me.

I finally got a chance to play the 5th episode of The Long Dark. It took like 10 years to release. I gave them the benefit of the doubt to see how it played out. I liked the story. Some gaps, but fine. I liked how they added a bunch of mechanics! But they just crammed them in and none of them were polished... You could feel the limitations in the game engine. Stepping in the same place retriggered the same dialog. Kind of a shame. I loved the first 4 episodes. Waiting 10 yrs for this. Meh

Negotiating is so much harder now than it ever was before. People just put long documents into AI to accommodate some sane sense of industry praxis.The document grows 3 pages. It includes more literal insanity. The process goes on 4 times and an 4 page NDA is now 20 pages and still needs changes. Please for the love of all that is good in this world. Do not use AI to negotiate with actual people. It will continuously exhibit the worst of humanity and infinitely complicate the process.

@annaecook I hear you. I got laid off almost half a year ago. It&#39;s been terrible. The job market is so much worse then I imagined it was. As much as I am like &quot;LETS GO!&quot; the market is so far from the employees favor right now I don&#39;t know if I can advise it. If you have nothing else to lose or lose from it you do you. But as someone on the otherside of it. It is seriously SO BAD right now. I&#39;ve had 5 interviews in 6 months and my experience and skills...
