I’m a dev manager… I have 3x4k monitors. I watch server loads, I watch the build pipeline and watch the commit logs etc.
Overkill these days, but I’m also a gamer sooooo…

First two (as others have mentioned) can be symptoms of Anhedonia
Shit 2 weeks at work and I’m OK? It’s my job to look after my people even if they have fucked up and they have
But I’m not doing great generally. I’m feeling worn down. I will literally expend my all my energy to provide support for my team, but I’m flagging.
Adding to your list:
Sloe gin sour
Sloe gin fizz
There’s also Nationalispoliticus
To be honest I don’t follow any sports at all, was just curious about what was going on. But you’re right, speculation doesn’t help anyone.
Completely agree. I will admit Australians are terrible at casual racism then when someone gets (rightly) riled up the response is “it was just a joke!” is super common too, which is just doubly insulting.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply you should just use it at random and it’s acceptable. As with even words like “queer” you should know whether they’re OK with using the term to refer to someone rather than just assume they’re OK with it.
I was surprised about “wog” too. I’m a Melburnian and reading some of the comments here just made me realise it could just be a Melbourne thing. A lot of my friends refer to themselves by that term and want us to use it too as a sign of closeness/affection.
I’d never heard Paki in Australia before either.
Really it’s all about intent and intonation. Given what we call close friends and sworn enemies alike ;)

Great breakup song if you want to just let it out
John Farnham - Help (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dv54giOSRKs )
This is a cover of the Beatles song. Very different vibe to the original
Realising now my music tastes are a bit weird…
I have a limited edition cell from the Justice League animated series signed by Bruce Timm. Got it about 15 years ago for about $900AUD, it’s worth about $2000AUD now.

Good week overall I think. Work has been a bit crazy which I’m trying to sort out with management to slow things down a bit for the sake of my team and my own mental health. Plus being at conferences doesn’t help…
Been losing a decent amount of weight too, about 10kg in the last 3-4 weeks and starting to ‘regain’ the muscle I had when I was younger and a gym freak. I think this is more just getting my muscles used to regular exercise again so it’ll plateau soon. Just trying to get in to a health(ier) routine all in all.
Sadly missed the weekly online co-op gaming session with friends since someone messed up the days. Also bought some new furniture to make the place feel a bit more homely.
So all in all, doing pretty well.
I live right near the MCG and a decent number of people still drive in. I’m not sure why though since the city council makes a fortune by doing the rounds 2 hours in to a game and ticketing everyone without a parking permit (which is a lot of people) and the number of vehicle break-ins is pretty high too.
Plus his incredibly stupid comment of “The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia”. As someone with a passing knowledge of cryptography that made me head-desk.
I actually wanted to look this up. This is an interesting article - https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-evolution-of-alexey-navalnys-nationalism
“He has never apologized for his earliest xenophobic videos or his decision to attend the Russian March. At the same time, he has adopted increasingly left-leaning economic positions and has come out in support of the right to same-sex marriage. This strategy of adopting new positions—without ever explicitly denouncing old ones—is probably the reason the suspicion of ethno-nationalism continues to shadow Navalny.”
I personally don’t have really have opinion either way but was curious.
Haha I got it on sale a JB. I should make a digital backup of it actually. Can’t believe I haven’t done it yet…
I thought 000 goes through whatever network is available wherever you are as opposed to just your network provider?
Makes me think of the classic D-Gen/Late Show bit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=8GKmM1gfDmY&feature=emb_logo
100% My job is to stop the team from feeling all the corporate BS as much as possible. I’m an ex-dev myself so my job is to make sure they’re OK and that thy’re not getting pressure from stakeholders/PMs/POs etc.
A massive amount of tech managers have zero empathy sadly. But I’m the complete opposite. If anyone in my team isn’t doing OK they just need to tell me, whether it’s financial, personal, work-related etc.
