#changing career

[kindredcodes1]

I guess I really just wanted to start this side blog as a place to post about my coding journey and small little life things. I'm learning to code through multiple different sources and am currently focusing on HTML, CSS and Javascript...the main big three for frontend web development. I know there are lots more to look through, especially when I want to progress to backend...but for now, I need to focus on one thing at a time.

This isn't going to be an overnight thing, I know that for sure. It's a long journey I have ahead of me and I'm only a couple of weeks in, but I hope someday, I can look back and think 'Look at how far I've come on my coding journey'.

phoenix is so funny conceptually as a character because hes so silly and goofy (especially in court) but then hes also the bitchiest little middle schooler you have ever seen like. im not even through the second game but

all this coming from the same guy who is Like This in courts of law:

#he said CRINGE AF!!!!! #the way he makes fun of ema for her edgeworth crush is so funny too like um WHO changed their entire career and took the fucking bar #(which is INSANE in california) #to see edgeworth again #ace attorney #aa #phoenix wright #like hes my favorite sillyguy but also... babygirl who are you to call someone cringe fail #popular post

i love the way that breaking bad and especially better call saul go against the notion that your life is basically set forever and over once you're middle aged. like no, don't worry, there's still a myriad of different and innovative ways you can ruin your life past your 40s <3

the way i see it, colin has three options for handling the repercussions of kissing michael on the pitch in front of everyone:

gatekeep: by some miracle no one caught the kiss on camera so colin's sexuality is kept between him and any fans who happened to be on the pitch near him. the safest option.

girlboss: keeley gets the pr challenge of a lifetime handling the story of the first active premier league player to come out as gay. rebecca is tall and powerful and intimidating in the press room making it clear that richmond stands behind colin one thousand percent. the most realistic option.

gaslight: straight-up blatantly lying. not because he's ashamed or because he thinks he can actually convince anyone that the kiss didn't happen, but just because he refuses to let it be a big deal. acts like he has no idea what anyone is talking about if asked anything related to his sexuality. he doesn't claim to be straight, mind you, he just pretends to be extremely confused about why they're asking because he never kissed anyone in the middle of a football pitch at the end of an internationally-televised game? when presented with photo and video proof of the kiss he says that was some other richmond player named hughes who wears a number 12 jersey. you don't know him, he goes to another school. the funniest option.

#colin literally standing in front of michaels house unloading a moving truck: i have no idea who that man who kissed that richmond player is #weird that he looks exactly like the guy standing in the doorway behind me! oh well life is full of mysteries #the tabloid reporter who ambushed colin goes home that night and contemplates a change of career #ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers #the more i think about it the less bothered i am by them not addressing the repercussions in the episode #because i love open endings and hate flash-forward endings that give you all the answers (part of why i hated the montage) #and i'm having so much fun imagining all the ways the aftermath of The Kiss could have played out #over 1k

#james somerton #hbomberguy #Sorry #just to be clear i dont wish somerton any harm #for the money he tricked people into donating i'm sure there will be a lawsuit. maybe?? #for the plagiarism idk if and how the law applies #for his personal mysoginistic racist etc views i've seen maybe one of his videos years ago and i don't remember his claims #i just think that as an influancer / youtuber he's a public figure and it's not the public's responsability to cater to his mental health #whether his mental health issues are real or just excuses #i'd rather he change career and be held accountable than he hurting himself #being in a bad mental state doesn't justify your actions #especially if the bad mental state is directly caused by the conequences of said actions

Phoenix’s decision to become a lawyer in part to save Edgeworth often is interpreted along the lines of “Phoenix changed his life to save Edgeworth because he’s gay for him.” and while I don’t think this is necessarily untrue, I think a much more compelling and realistic interpretation is that Phoenix’s reaction to seeing somebody he loves in trouble revealed to him his deep-seated desire to protect the innocent from injustice, so he became a lawyer.

Edgeworth has, in the grand scheme of things, very little to do with why Phoenix is a lawyer. he was, however, a catalyst for Phoenix unlocking that part of himself (along with Mia!). and, to me, the sentiment that love reveals who you are is much more romantic than the idea that Phoenix made a sacrifice only to save the man he loves. loving Edgeworth brings Phoenix closer in line with his true self, and it’s through his love that he sees the potential of who he could be. even if he couldn’t save Edgeworth or if he never even came face-to-face with him again, Phoenix would remain changed by his love and would stay on this path he’s realized he’s so well-suited to. becoming a lawyer was never a sacrifice for Edgeworth; it was the realization of who Phoenix is: a protector. that he realized this through his feelings for Edgeworth is almost immaterial.

#let’s also not forget Mia’s role in his self-realization and career change #but I do think there’s a special level of depth in the Edgeworth side of things that goes further than Love = Sacrifice #narumitsu #phoenix wright #c thinks

Btw, if you really just Need A Job (tm)

I'd really recommend looking into care work

Care work here is specifically being a home care aid, a care aid or assistant at any kind of residential home.

This for usually for elderly or disabled adults - and those are the ones that tend to be most entry level, from what I've seen, but also for mental health, addiction recovery etc. (With the obvious caveat that some of these jobs will be more emotionally intense than others)

I'm so serious about this guys. I was applying to jobs in care work for just three weeks, starting a couple days before Christmas, and in that time I got three interviews, two jobs offers, and five additional interview requests

Care work needs people CONSTANTLY

because it's a huge sector but very hard for them to keep staff long-term. Partly because it can be high burn-out, and there's definitely toxic places out there you should watch out for. And partly because a lot of people think care work is beneath them

AND they ACTUALLY MEAN IT when they say they're entry level. Because it's so hard for them to get staff that a lot of them will advertise super aggressively that they will train you themselves. A lot of them will straight up pay for your CPR and First Aid certifications, once they hire you, too (and you can get a leg up on applications by getting a CPR/First Aid certification for like. $30 to $80, at least in the US). They also accept experience taking care of elderly/disabled/etc. family members as real experience

Like, obviously don't do it if you hate taking care of people, but if you're open to it, it's probably by far your best shot of getting hired rn, statistically

(eta: Genuinely disclaimer that it can be super taxing emotionally and large portions of the industry are indeed fucked, and def don't take a job in this field if you're gonna be an asshole to the people you're caring for, but sometimes you just need whatever job you can get.)

Seriously, though, the first time I applied for a care work job (in October 2023, yes short timeline, like I said there's some toxic workplaces etc. out there), I applied to like ten or fifteen jobs over the course of a week or so. Within three weeks, I was working.

(And they did provide all of the training, fwiw)

If you need a job and no one is hiring, seriously consider looking into it

guys cc!forever is not leaving leaving the qsmp, he's going on a hiatus to focus on stonkscraft which is his series. i don't know if he will be streaming it or just uploading it on yt like before, but yt videos usually take more time to edit and it's understandable that if he's going to be recording and editing he will need more of his time to be dedicated to that. if i'm not wrong the last season of stonkscraft was like 5 months long, so if i had to take a shot, i assume the first half of the year he's going to be working on stonkscraft and on the second he's going to be back on qsmp (if he wants) ^_^

#forever player #i hope this will help u guys calm down #i also hate changes but we must respect the direction in which he wants to take his career #qsmp
