huh, so they’ve never used npm?

I don’t need the serotonin and dopamine inside my gut, I need it in my brain. …Will shoving an orange up my nose work?

Nope, no other reason! I’m just getting a decent deal on PC parts when I let my employer buy them for me so I have a tendency to splurge on tech without really double-checking the specs. Can’t justify that with the current RAM prices though haha

But thanks for the tip! I’ll keep it in mind when I do actually decide to upgrade sometime

I built my first PC last November and because RAM was about 2-3 times the price that it should have been I passed on it. Now it’s like 5x the price and it’s not even a choice anymore, but I think I still made the right decision by not financially supporting those prices. Got 16GB of second hand SODIMM and some Sodimm to Dimm adapters and honestly the PC is fine. In my original parts list I had planned to get 128GB just to max out the board and not think about it ever again (would have been a reasonable 550€ back in September) but now I think I’ll actually coast a bit longer with my 16GB. It should be fine for the next few years at least, especially since there’s no overhead from Windows BS on my machine.

Does anyone have any thoughts that may somewhat help me feel less dread?

A lot of people feel the exact same way, but are just too burned out at this point to say anything. The AI sycophants just scream the loudest atm, doesn’t mean that they’re holding the popular position.
So you definitely aren’t alone and will always have plenty of options to hang out with people who aren’t brainwashed by that stupid thing.

This is the sign I needed to call in sick for the next few days. This shit is so tiring.

Maybe it’s an age thing? Like when you’re dating as a teenager you know that your brain will still develop and you might grow incompatible with your partner, so it’s hard to invest in the relationship if you’re unsure on whether it might last?
No idea though, people say I’m a bit too utilitarian when it comes to dating.
