Jesus, what IT dept. are you working at, and how do I get there;) around here, the most attractive specimens are those under 35 BMI and practice personal grooming.
It’s comments like these that make me wish that fedi had some kind of downvote system.
Still not sure if this is obliviously serious or awesomely ironic. I down voted for solidarity, ma brotha!
He certainly has that thousand-yard stare
He’s way overdressed for that.
Or maybe you’re underdressed.
Nah, I’m not dressing up for shit if I ever manage to free myself from corporate hell.
Exactly, needs shorts and a beer in hand. And about 5 stains on the shirt.
Was about to comment this. lol
These images aren’t relatable at all. What man sits on the porch of a log cabin in a suit surrounded by his pricey luggage without roller wheels on it.
Burned out it guys who finally signed their resignation papers
Keep up with the class, man
What’s in the bag?
Tech job burn out makes you do weird things.
Using a Gucci bag as a back rest in a small fishing boat. It’s just… Huh.
That’s basically my life. When I’m not staring at the vistas and thinking oh so deep thoughts from my dingy anyhow.
OMG you’re right! I do look like Ryan Gosling.
lirally me
Wearing Gucci?
This too is how I look, dress and behave on the weekends.
Endless envy to you
He got in during the nineties and his stock options vested. Now he spends his time restoring vintage Ferraris.
Sometimes I think I should have stayed in the trades. Then I remember having to tear hundreds of HVAC smoke dampers out of a new building and replace them with fire and smoke dampers because the boss decided he was just going to whatever instead of what the blueprints called for.
Then I’m good for a while.
HVAC
I remember when I just graduated from college
STEM degrees.
Looking in the newspaper of my major US city.
All the ads were for HVAC techs. Nobody was looking for Comp Sci or Chem Engineering.
Almost switched to HVAC.Glad I held out for an actual debugging software job
Pity young people today. Don’t be programmers; there’s no future in it.
Tbf, those types of jobs have a higher degree of turnover and thus need slots backfilled more frequently. Trades jobs can be pretty fuckin miserable, especially ones that are incredibly physically demanding as you age.
I got laid off from my software job then took a physical labor job to make ends meet. I got promoted to management and used my software skills to automate most of my job. This is my recommended career path.
Software skills plus domain knowledge is a good combination, and I think it will remain viable in the future. But who the fuck knows?
Software skills plus domain knowledge
Software skills --> Anyone will be able to vibecode a good-enough app within 2-3 years
Domain knowledge --> Top LLMs already have domain knowledge comparable to specialists in whichever field, and are getting less hallucinatory & more accurate every year.
Not being a doomer, no idea what policies make sense going forward, but this is what I observe
It really used to piss me off when the older techs would make me crawl around in nasty crawlspaces while they stood around and smoked cigarettes.
I get not wanting to be there but I’m not not about to leave some poor kid who doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing fumbling around in the dark by himself for half the day.
Pity young people today.
Don’t be programmers; there’s no future in it.Fixed
LOL. Holy damn this meme is me to a tea.
What kind of tea? I hope it’s a nice roasted oolong.
With a bit of honey and a golf ball.
I haven’t seen Gosling on a boat since high school
he’s just like me fr
You finally signed your resignation papers? I’m jealous.

Go away. He’s plenty masculine. He’s a man, and represents men well. Stand-up guy.
Haha I dont agree but thats ok :) I would send ryan gosling to pick flowers rather than build a house, if you know what I mean… :)
He is very feminine.
He is very feminine.
Disagree completely. But the fact that you need to talk about how much masculinity he has speaks volumes to how fragile yours is. You have exposed yourself.
Now what? Is that a crime or something? Fuck off man

Your self importance aside, they are simply tired of the lazy bigotry.
Its lazy bigotry to think ryan gosling is feminine?
So everyone has to think ryan is masculine man? That doesnt make any sense.
…and poor reading comprehension besides? What a winner.
Man, your kind was very common on Reddit back in the day. Not a lot of your kind followed to Lemmy so it’s been a while since I’ve bumped into such a specimen. Glad it’s very few these days at least.
Send him to pick flowers…
Guys, is farming gay?
What a weak and easily threatened mind you have.
