I spent all afternoon reading that comic, having to call it a night on chapter 93. Thanks for the link!

1. Rape does not always involve physically overpowering someone. Someone may coerce someone else into sex with blackmail, lies, threats, or abuse of a position of power.

2. Erections are controlled by a person’s autonomic nervous system. A man can get hard even when he is not turned on or consenting to what is happening.

3. Not all rape involves a penis. A woman who sticks an object into a man without his consent is committing rape. Rape is about power and control over another person, and the rapist need not be directly stimulated for rape to occur.

I’m glad I’m not the only one with that criticism. I enjoyed the first game so much more because of that.

Hear, hear! Bigger problems nowadays, but more control over my life to compensate.

There’s also something that’s really calming about having more life experience? Like back in 2013 I was mortified at the prospect of getting bad grades. Missing assignments was the #1 source of stress in my life, and it was all-consuming at the time.

Now? I know not only did that not matter, but that any given thing that stresses me out that badly has a good chance of ultimately not mattering in the same way.

Euros, as they’re currently worth a bit more.

I mean historically, when you see a busload of undocumented immigrants it’s a pretty safe bet a Republican is behind it.

If you don’t lie on your resume, you should!

This video is my Atlas Shrugged in the sense that it’s far too long and inexplicably has crossover appeal despite being far worse than everything else I’ve ever made.

My sides are in orbit.

I mean, good on her for being anti-war and wanting to release political prisoners I guess? I have no clue what she was expecting though. Trying to run against a dictator in a sham election seems like maybe not the best way to effect political change, not to mention dangerous.

I also do not have a bachelor’s degree, and here are the things that have helped me:

1. Certifications. I have CompTIA Security+ and Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Master. Both can be had for a couple hundred dollars, both tests can be passed after a couple weeks of studying. YMMV on how much recruiters care about that kind of thing, but I think it helps show you know what you’re talking about when it comes to tech stuff.

2. List non-work projects on your resume. I have one of my projects from college (before I dropped out), an open-source video game mod I contributed to, and a helper GUI I wrote for a tabletop game all on my resume. A couple hours spent writing an automated D&D character sheet & fixing a bug in a Rimworld mod have landed me a few interviews.

3. Exaggerate. I count time spent using Java in highschool / college as years of Java experience, even though it wasn’t super rigorous or in-depth. Look, companies are gonna exaggerate their benefits while trying to get the most value out of you for the least salary. AFAIC, it’s fair game to, uh, “advertise” yourself to them.
