Ah I think my comment made in haste was ambiguous. Fortunately I was not cut this time around, I've somehow skated by all the firings. I'm actually just clinging on for a few more months then I'm off to Sweden to go back to school. Hoping to actually finish my game dev degree this time around! I do have some school application stuff I would love to have people see though I'll keep you in mind for that if you are up for it (for a work sample primarily, to get into higher rates schools)

I've somehow survived all the firings and restructurings so far. It's a shit show over here. I'm trying to get through a few more months then I'm off to another country to go back to school
The agonizing hasn't stopped for me I've just gotten used to it as a part of my day to day. It's wild what they've been putting us through we need to unionize
I work for Unity, I've been sick for a couple days, this is how I find out lol. It's a mess here fam any devs reading this just use godot instead
I got married while it was still cool but I'm getting a divorce now to be fashionable again
Nicotine is water soluble. You can take a wet tobacco leaf off the plant and it'll soak into your skin and get you a bit buzzed (or in my case when I discovered this mid harvest if you touch enough it'll get you massively high and nauseous). Imo one of the best ways to get some in relative safety is grow your own, they're really easy, and just put a leaf under your tongue for a bit then spit it out
Hopefully not for anything that requires an accurate result...
What era or genre are you getting the pop culture from? Twinkies at least have only been a joke in media for at least 15 years because of zombie survival stuff, and longer as a 'haha look at the fat kid' before that. Die Hard uses them as a comedic element to break up parts of the film but in less of a joking about Twinkies directly way, though it is part of the overweight cop's character. That movie is nearly 40 years old though and probably marks around the time Twinkies started shifting from a snack to a meme
Edit to add: They also originally had banana flavored filling. You can still find these sometimes and while not good they're better than the plain ones imo
Yeah my ex spouse would rather drive 5min then spend 15min finding parking every day for work than do the 15 minute walk. Then every day complain about parking and get instantly defensive if I brought up walking instead. This was a thing with going out too I'd want to walk and they'd want to drive. I'd get there first because of time spent finding parking. Half the time they'd walk just as far as I did anyway because parking in the area completely sucked
