if I have to endure another second of someone going "pitching this approach was really stupid, you should do it the incorrect way" three months ago, only to have them come back to me today and say "well you should've tried pitching that approach three months ago, and the fact that you didn't do it the correct way is proof that you're a bad software engineer" I am going to walk to DC with a homemade bomb and literally blow up the pentagon

I think big websites coming to fedi is good because then I'll be able to block everyone who views fedi as equivalent to a centralized site all at once

I love knowing how shit works

@firefly_lightning @silverwizard oh my god you are so right, justice for spot, he deserves more than just worker's comp but also a union.
Comrade spot, a proud worker, viva la revolucion etc

@silverwizard wait, in his flashback he said he "lost his job", and it cuts to this scene of alchemax scientists pointing and laughing at him

He did actually try to go back to work

I think he had to have done something so embarrassing on the job that he just couldn't go back, because he for sure was allowed in the building

@silverwizard THIS POOR GUY CAN'T EVEN UNLOCK HIS PHONE

@silverwizard also tbh he probably still had a job at Alchemax after the incident

like, he probably could've just gone back into the office a week later and been fine so long as they didn't want to do experiments on him
Like, they were working with doc ock who was kind of quirky, so I can't imagine this would be that big of a deal

he'd probably even get sponsorship from the company if he wanted to figure out how the portals worked

I think the only answer is that he's just such a failgirl that he got fired somehow, and doesn't have enough hobbies to keep himself occupied

@silverwizard yeah TBH I think the real villains here are the insurance companies who leave workers out to dry, and the soulless cogs of capitalism

I bet even getting 65k in comp would be a fight, since I imagine his primary care provider wouldn't know how to diagnose what happened, and it would get tied up in insurance bureaucracy without a concrete answer from his doctor

I think the spot should take revenge on NYSIF until he has enough money to comfortably retire

@silverwizard tbh that's barely anything for getting completely erased from existence, I think if I got vaporized like that and only got 65,000 dollars for it I'd be stealing from ATMs too

@silverwizard if we can guesstimate a little, Alchemax would probably be insured under NYSIF which is the cheapest worker's comp insurer

Benefits are based on the average weekly wage (AWW) earned by the employee during the 52-week period immediately prior to the accident. The maximum weekly benefit rate is equal to two-thirds of the AWW in New York State, subject to the degree of disability.

So he'd be getting his weekly wage for 52 weeks, and then

https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/work/costs/workers-compensation-costs/

probably about 65,000 dollars for his multiple body part injury, but if he can prove he has a brain injury he can get almost 100k

@silverwizard hey wait a fucking minute, in across the spiderverse, Alchemax has signs at the cleanup site which means the company STILL EXISTS, which means he FOR SURE can still collect worker's comp

@silverwizard god those fucking bastards
you're right
gofundme for my man spot

@silverwizard tbh I think Alchemax probably still existed for at least several months after the explosion
They even had a different office for R&D and probably corporate in upstate new york which wouldn't have been affected by the explosion at all
I think if the spot applied for worker's comp, he could've gotten in on the class action lawsuit that had to have happened after they caused the sequel to 9/11 in manhattan, and gotten a huge payout because he was working there as an employee and got injured so badly that his entire physical being was erased

tbh the spot should've just applied for worker's comp

baba is you is an unimaginably impressive feat of game design

After the revolution where I'm permitted to laugh and dance and sing and engage in joyous human behaviors or whatever I'm going to be hunched over in a cave fiddling with ancient CI/CD infrastructure

I might seem mentally well on the surface, but I literally get a euphoric rush when I figure out how complicated computer projects work

this is why I'll literally never know peace because I can't help but want to be a software engineer

you could give me the most painfully boring project known to man. This could be a subcomponent built specifically to do the most boring task in the world but if you make it super complicated and ask me to start figuring it out I'll literally get dizzy from excitement, and that should constitute as some kind of diagnosable mental illness

also the DNS should be fixed
