I might be wrong on this, but isn’t that a mouse?? The face shape seems more like a mouse than a rat to me

Could someone with rodent knowledge chime in?

I’d rather have “click here” links than “tap here” links

I’ve been having a rough week, okay? :(

man sorry that’s happening to you :/ That reaction is so overblown and childish

heyo, they also created a community aimed at harassing you: https://discuss.online/c/fuckdraconicneo

just so you know

I tried to go to University for CS but never quite got the hang of the math part. Instead I got a Certification in Computer Science from an apprenticeship (idk if that’s the right Translation, in German we call it “Fachinformatiker für Anwendungsentwicklung”) within 1.5 years and with extreme ease, because it was way less math-heavy and more focused on actual programming.

I stayed with the company that I did the apprenticeship with and got promoted from Junior to Regular within a year. I work exactly in the field and position I wanted to work in when I was going for the CS degree. In fact, I have the exact same responsibilities and the same pay as my colleagues with CS degrees. It might not be like that in every company, but it did work out for me.

Just for fun, I actually went back to Uni this semester to try and actually finish one or two math modules, but dropped out within 2 weeks because I was hopelessly incapable of even understanding the basic concepts lol

Not admitting to any sort of experience here, but if any aspiring artists come across this:

Get yourself a manager. Even if you’re not that popular yet, just have a friend handle the communication, commission slot scheduling and payment processing for you. Because no matter how much passion you go into the job with, eventually you will fall into playing online therapist for a guy with a name like “VirusDog24” whose wife is pretty unhappy with the amount of money he keeps spending on commissions and who keeps asking for way too many alt versions. But you kinda have to keep him happy because he does pay so well and comes back all the time due to some weird parasocial attachment.

No matter how good the pay is, stuff like that can really pull the fun out of a hobby, hypothetically.

That’s the fun part, I don’t!

(okay maybe a little bit of Jira)
