Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I’ll never know, because I didn’t become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

My favorite version of this was an ad for applebees that said “you belong here!”. Like, I know that they meant it to be welcoming, but it came across as vaguely threatening …
I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

Man with how much of my life was front loaded with suffering I wish I could just use it as a “get out of current issue free” card.
I find it very unfair actually how few people actually have to face consequences for their actions in meaningful ways. I don’t want them repeating them.
One of my favourite quotes from the show.
Glad I’m not the only one that remembers it.
It’s easily one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
Though the line that’s been rolling through my head since Gaza started is Delenn getting pissed at Lando and G’kar, shouting “When does it end?!” That rant is…. Piercing.
Famous last words of a software engineer who ends up working in a warehouse.
So you think you’re too good to eat shit? Wait until you have to like I do.
Bro, maybe I don’t think you should have to eat shit either.
You could probably make $800 doing game dev too. Maybe not with only one game, but $800 with game dev hobby sounds better to me than $800 to be a warehouse associate for an unknown amount of time…
What an insult. People who study software and game development should be getting jobs in insurance sales, the way they always have.
I like to reply to these with tons of questions, no stone unturned. If they give a reasonable answer is likely legit. I get a bunch of these because of a resume that had all my warehouse experience on it, big mistake since I don’t know who has it.
