I'll probably get another kind of tech related remote job. More likely I'll just start to hate video games rather than actually enjoy work anyway

So why other tech and not gaming? Do indie gaming companies not hire remote?

Is video game testing anything like it's portrayed in the movie Grandma's Boy?

I have no idea why Microsoft always attempts to implement the next "big new tech thing" in Windows for every version, just for them to always inevitably reverse course after it flops as they repeat it again

 

I finish my last class for my associates degree in December. I'm trying to move out of my mom's house in South Carolina and to Puerto Rico next year, so I will have to get full time work. Right now I'm working at a chain restaurant part time in dish/kitchen.

After my class ends, I will probably go back to the Amazon fulfillment center in Charlotte I briefly worked at previously for the next 6 months or so, hopefully they'll hire me again even though I quit after a month working there last time because it was stressful. My part time restaurant job was a nice change of pace for the time so I could finally focus on finishing school, but I got tired of the dish pit after 2 years of working there, and I'm barely scraping by, especially with the shit spending habits I made due to stress. Despite the stressful 10 graveyard shifts with heavy lifting and long commutes, I think I can pummel through with enough caffeine and nicotine for 6 months or so (and thankfully they have an okay PTO policy) as I save enough money or so I can hopefully survive the first month or two on savings, but i will need to look for another full time job immediately.

As for my previous work experiences, I was working at factories and warehouses since 18, and for the first several years I got fired from jobs after a few weeks-months, partially due to acting up on concerta, but the rampant discrimination against us sure doesn't help. I got off concerta at age 21 and was finally able to keep a factory job for over a year, but I quit after they switched from 8 to 12 hours shifts, so I then worked at Amazon for a month before starting my current job a little over 2 years ago.

So what kinds of jobs can I get that are either remote jobs I can use my associates for or get an easy certification, jobs where being a native English speaker in Puerto Rico as I still try to get myself immersed and learn Spanish, or can maybe use my warehouse/factory or restaurant experience in, which can make enough to afford a 1 bedroom or studio apartment and car payments, and can maybe help me save up for a house eventually, as well as a shipping container to ship my video game collection and TVs over there? I know I will have to start living a lot more frugally. I have to eat out very infrequently, as well as a halt on collecting video games and movies for a bit (thank fuck for piracy), among other things as I live on my own for the first time, but I learned as I live my life that I can't stand living with other people, and I really want to get away from my MAGA parents and State as well

I'm going to start making my fries from potatoes that I will grow inside, although part of that is also just to save money on groceries

 

I think the best example is the PlayStation 2 being discontinued in 2013, as well the PlayStation 1 in 2006

Did you become religious again or just a less annoying atheist?

For those of us in the US (yes I know this is world - sorry) we can only hope the brain worm dead bear boy doesn’t gut the FDA as badly as he promises, or companies are going to start adding all sorts of fun stuff to our food.

Educate yourself and your friends about “the poison squad”, fascinating story of the kinds of crazy shit they used to put in food. Copper sulfate in canned peas and such.

Oh, Jesus. I'm autistic and rely on safe foods, I can't wait for them to start killing me now

Another NoStupidQuestion, what are trans and saturated fats anyway?

 

Mine was probably when I relapsed towards religion at age 15-16 and joined my mom's conservative megachurch, naïvely thinking I can convince them to be less bigoted and more "christ-like" as well as accept science

Depends on which is closer. Also, only South Florida is truly tropical
