I know this title is a bit weird. I've been using Reddit for well over a decade now. It's how I keep up with news, and I usually find myself reading it to relax and decompress. I feel like without Reddit, I'd probably be even more depressed than I already am. But between the API changes last year and the amount of times I have been banned from Subreddits in the last year for what I perceive to be the stupidest reasons possible (I just got permabanned from my provinces subreddit for calling a this cell phone banning legislation "boomer pandering" FFS), I feel like my depression is getting worse just by being on this site as well.

But the thing is, without Reddit, I don't know how I would rel

I'm at a loss. Back in 2019, I took an associates degree program at my local community College, with the hopes of getting myself out of my crappy fast food job and finally moving out of my Mom's house before I turn 30. I think I convinced myself that thus is something I could be good at and that this single college course is all I need to get my life on track. Which is admittedly silly in retrospect.

But despite graduating at the top of my class, I never found a co-op as the market for bad developers pretty much dried up right as I graduated, I ended up taking a job at a call center, spend all night practicing and making things, but still getting nowhere because I am simply not good enough,

So I've always suffered from bad myopia, but in May 2021, my myopia worsened to the point where I no longer feel comfortable driving and reading anything a few feet away from my face is a nightmare. Eye doctors have said there is nothing they can really do about it and I just have to learn how to live with it, but it's been a big struggle and 3 years later, I'm still really depressed with how my life has turned out.

For more context, when I was 20 and could actually see, I had a friend we will call "Dean". Dean's a great guy and I don't want to paint him in a bad way, but it was really one of those relationships that had 1 common interest that kept it together, which for us was Magic the Ga

So lately I've been learning C as there is a project I want to make with an Arduino that requires faster computing times in order to save battery by going to sleep as soon as possible. So tonight for fun, I thought I'd try writing a program that counts to 1 million in both Python and C and prints every value in between in the terminal. My code is as follows:

C

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>

int main() { int i; i = 0;

while (i <= 1000000) { printf("%d\n", i); i++; } printf("done"); }

Python

i = 0

while i <= 1000000: print(i) i += 1

print("done")

To my surprise, the Python code fully executes in ~5 seconds,

I tried searching for everything and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

So forgive me for asking such a harsh question. I'm not a hockey fan, but being Canadian, I do hear lots of people talk about their favorite teams and know this question might ruffle some feathers, but that's not my intention.

Anyways, I was playing some trivia the other night, I found out a Canadian team hasn't won a the NHL playoffs since 1993. Which kind of surprised me, as I was born on late 1993, so a Canadian team hasn't won in my life time. This led me down a rabbit hole of looking at past playoffs, and Canadian teams have only made the finals around 5 times from my count.

But why exactly is that the case? Canadian teams make up like 1/3rd of the league. Statistically speaking, you'

My laptop has a red LED that flashes when it is turned on. Does a sticker exist that can reflect the light within it to make it look like the sticker is lighting up because of the LED underneath it?

I'm not American, but I do seem to notice that a lot of online libertarians seem to hold Trump in high regard, which just seems weird as the Republican party is definitely more authoritarian than the Democratic party. Where I live though (Canada), we don't really have any libertarian party equivalent and it's very much a thing here where if you identify as a libertarian, you will vote for our equivalent of the Republican party, despite the fact that even recently, they have said that they want to implement things like ID checks to view porn on the internet, and are the kind of politicians who will discriminate against minority groups.

So if you are someone who truly cares about indivual li

I'm a 30 year old man and my Mom recently told me she is concerned about me because I have no friends. I mostly stay inside due to health reasons (extreme myopia) and I work from home, so I don't really see it as an issue.

However, her comment about my lack of friends got me thinking, how on Earth does any other adult have time to maintain friendships? Like I have spent the last year and a half since graduating from college working 9 hours a day at a call center and then spending my nights trying to build up my portfolio so I can get a better job, which doesnt seem like much when you consider there are people out there who have children and other responsibilities. Last time I even had a fri

So I work at a call center doing mostly sales calls and tech support. I'm also an incredibly awkward incel (without the misogyny though) who generally prefers to be by myself. Despite this, I have somehow been successful enough at this job to get invited to a special group of the top sales people (quite frankly, I'm not convinced that it a psyop for the worst sales people to give them some confidence).

Anyhow, occasionally management comes to that group looking for people to volunteer to mentor new hires for a day. I usually try to keep quiet and hope I don't get noticed. But I guess I was the only person who who was working the shift they were looking for. I also have a reputation in this

So I work in customer service from home at a company that sells internet. The conversation that came up was about one of our competitors using fine print to jacks up an internet bill by 50% and then finding out one of the people in the chat uses that provider despite the fact our company offers free internet to its employees. So here was the chat in question:

Person 1: You should switch over to [Company we work for]...lol...great promotion going on and exceptionally awesome customer service :P

Me: Agreed, I really like that [My first name] guy they have working for them.

Superior who runs the group: [Replying to my comment], depends who you ask. LoL.

Now I'm not sure what to make

I graduated from college almost 2 years ago now and haven't even got a single face to face interview. There isn't much in my area for backend work and all entry level positions seem to be front end or full stack and looking back, my college course was a joke and a waste of money (I was somehow the top of my class).

However, I am terrible at designing websites. I spend months building a website, only for it to get torn apart here and other places for how bad they look. So is it even worth continuing, as design seems to be such an important role. I doubt anyone would want to hire me if they would have to hire a second person just to design the initial website.
