Can't wait to try it! I love what they did with 1.2

Update: I'm happy to report that the new Shape Builder tool works really well and is very intuitive to use.

Yeah, that's sound advice! Thank you very much!

You pinpointed all the pain points at my workplace. We are a startup, understaffed, in my opinion, and long estimates are frowned upon. Our main project is what we were hired for, so transferring is also not an option.

Thanks for chiming in!

Thank you for the advice!

Caring less might certainly help. It just feels wrong to me to take the paycheck and not put my heart into the work. Maybe some kind of a balance could be found.

 

I've noticed (with the help of family members and my SO) that I've become very negative, cynical and drained lately. Reading about burnout, I find all of the symptoms to be true for myself.

My job requires me to work on a single project full-time, and a couple of small side-projects. The management of the project is very chaotic and I feel more and more inadequate for my position. Priorities constantly change and just looking at the week's schedule in Monday, I can tell the we're not going meet the set goal by Friday. It has been like that for more than a year. It doesn't help that I've become very pessimistic about the main project's future.

Outside of work, I don't have much free time. The little I have, I try to spend with my loved ones. Hobbies and other interests are on the back burner.

As the title implies, I don't have the option of quitting or taking a sabbatical at the moment.

I know kbin is not a replacement for therapy but I was just wondering if anyone has been through this and found anything helpful other that distancing from their current workplace.

So far this is the best answer in here.

Just choose something you can wrap your head around and start from there. No need to jump to anything complicated like Arch linux.

I first started gaming on openSUSE and then moved to Fedora. Can't say I don't have to look around for answers to run some games but I'm more than happy with the experience in general. I play some older games like Deus Ex, Baldur's gate and such, but I also play Cyberpunk 2077, Stray and Marvel's Spider-man Remastered without any real issues.

Also, let's be realistic about it - arm yourself with a bit of patience, because the process of installing games could be as simple as clicking install and then play, but it could also require some tinkering to get some games running smoothly.

The first two PC games I ever played - Blood 2: The Chosen and Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive

And you are being just as dishonest and even more malicious.

You did paraphrase me wrongly as I've said none of those things.

I asked a question. You put words into my mouth and painted me as a villain.

If anything, you are being completely dishonest and malicious and this conversation is going nowhere.

Did you just paraphrase me wrongly to make fun of me and invalidate my point?

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Bigotry as "obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices : the state of mind of a bigot". How is the firm belief that someone is wrong and should be censored based on... just one's own opinions and prejudices not bigotry then?

Another thing that bothers me is how Marxist, Stalinist, and Maoist communities are considered absolutely fine but opposing ideologies are automatically considered bigoted. Why is that?

This reply is not meant as an attack. I'm all for expression and freedom of speech and am genuinely curious, who decides what is punishable bigotry and what is not.

Well, it could also be a play on words because you can add articles and photos to the magazines.
