    I may be unusual in my distaste for negative ads though. I really cannot stand them and never have been able to. If your ad campaign is based on why you are better than the market leader, or on making fun of the market leader, you turn me off to your product. Even as a child, I was strongly anti-Burger King, Pepsi, and sega for this reason. Buying the playstation one was a much harder decision than it should have been because as much as I wanted to play FF7, I really did not want to support those ads where crash bandicoot made fun of Nintendo.

    ahaha omg

    as a mascot crash bandicoot doesn't get to make fun of anything

    he can maybe sit in silence reading a sonic fan forum and denigrate them under an alias

    but open mockery is not a thing crash bandicoot would get to do were he real

    Last whiny post for a while, but I want to say...

    I'm tired of being whiny and not liking working. I want to like working, damnit. Why is that so hard? I like the tasks I have to do, I'm no longer anxious at work... so why the fuck can't I enjoy it yet? Why do I keep struggling to find excuses to not like it here? My boss is super nice, my mentor is super understanding and is dealing with my shit way better than expected.

    I have 0 reason to be unhappy here beyond the pay thing, and I'm fairly certain they're hiring me as a fully-paid employee in January.

    I'm tired and I want to not be so annoying.

    Sorry for this, but I needed to vent.

    95% of people don't like working. The sane ones just use it as a vector to do stuff they actually like the rest of the time and don't think about it once they leave.

    Tim Cook has long topped lists as the "most powerful" gay person in the world, and today he's publicly addressed his sexuality for the first time. "Throughout my professional life, I've tried to maintain a basic level of privacy," the Apple CEO says in a letter published by Bloomberg Businessweek. "While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven't publicly acknowledged it either, until now. So let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me."

    In the emotional letter, Cook goes on to say that he doesn't consider himself an activist, but "if hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it's worth the trade-off with my own privacy."
