Sidenote, is anyone else amused that boingboing became relevant again, if only briefly?

Fair enough, mu apologies for getting all Reddit-y. I'm in the camp that at some point, everyone needs help. The unfortunate fact is, a lot of people aren't going to get the same a…

Bullshit. At some point, someone encouraged you to succeed. Maybe it was when you grew up and were encouraged by any given authority figure to do something, maybe it was finding co…

Seconded. If you're just looking at "work hard", you're not seeing other people need to work harder, and overcome a terrifying amount of uncertainty, to get to the same place.

If you're happy, you're doing something right, so kudos. To stop from stagnating, play with things. New things, old things, interesting things you aren't going to need to worry abo…

This site was frighteningly reassuring. Thank you. I hope this becomes the new FML/TFLN

Did anyone else find the tone of this article just a touch self-congratulatory? When I want to hear about mental disease, I want to hear about it from the actual sufferer. Otherwis…

Right now, your LinkedIn profile looks like it belongs to a new on the market 20-year-old, which I'm assuming is accurate. If your're looking to upsell, go for these: * Go to local…

My employer has good policies on ADA accommodations. I still need to go into the office, but I feel good that when I can't anymore I'll still have a job with them. Plus, I went fro…
