yes fuck those guys
I did quit without notice once.
Not as kathartic as you may think.

Did it once. Realized job was not going to work out mostly because they expected me to work 12 hour shifts 6 days a week, bakery factory job, and had another opportunity i had to take fast. I do regret it because that place could have been a great place to work and was at one point. My mom had worked there more than 30 years but fucking covid wrecked shit.

So uh what do you do and why are you quitting If you don't mind me asking?
I'm an Engineer working in the manufacturing industry.
I worked 5 years in the same company, and see no future of myself.
The last Factory Manager resigned over "family issues", and the new Manager is a 30-year veteran of the company...
But he's a workaholic perfectionist micromanaging OCD that "led by example". He would work 2~3 hours overtime without pay and expects his subordinates to do the same. And he demanded all weekly or monthly reports be updated daily, and any faults would be pointed out by him with email, at midnight, as he expects you to correct it first thing in the morning. Then he demands everyone to multitask at 120% capability, just as he did. And every day, a "30-minute shift-end meeting" became a two hour berating session because "we weren't showing enough improvement".
Officially, I resign because I said I am facing depression, work pressure, no personal life, and seeing no future of myself.
The new manager's response: Depression and pressure? you shouldn't depend on medications, have you try Yoga? Personal Life? Is 1.5 days per week not enough, what do you want more?
I manage to negotiate that I extend my work for 12 more months, in exchange he keep his promise that he keep his "30-min meeting" to really 30 minutes.
I absentmindedly didn't check the preferences in my FiC account.

You sure he wasn't replaced by a Japanese pod people? Holy guacamole.
He's a Malaysian Indian.
Hell, even the Japanese bosses (I still have 3 Japanese bosses, the Director, the 2nd in command, and the sales manager) have given us more slack than him.

she made enough poor life choices that she needs idiots like Peterson whom talk above his station for cash to lull herself awareness back to sleep
So the family thought that since I hate a lot of Zack Snyder shit but I like to watch bad movies, we should watch that first part of Rebel Moon.
It is like how those parody movies turned into a jumbled mess of "you remember this thing from that place, right? Well... here you go! LAUGH!"
The cinematography is normally good (never play a drinking game about when there is slo-mo), but the story is shit despite being shamelessly stolen, characters are actually caricatures with zero depth, and conversations are 90% exposition.
The guy can turn out some half-decent stuff when closely controlled, but the more control he has the more it can only appeal to delusional Snyder Bros.

His books are admittedly dull as dirt, but he is a great conversationalist and very clear with his message.
or she for the first time found someone that is saying what she had been saying all those years. "Clean up your room!"
What mother would not resonate with that?

These last two posts has got me thinking. Especially about mechs.
Do we have a mech series/ game/ anime from Japan that depicts a mostly realistic mech battle? Think Patlabor but for the 21st century.
And conversely, have we seen Western series/ cartoons/ games that has gone the Gundam route with their mechs.
I am sorta interested in watching how these two philosophies interpret the medium in their own way. Would be an interesting watch to say the least.

On JP side, mind you, this is what I heard from second-hand sources, I heard Bullbuster fit the trope, though it's more a spiritual successor to Dai-Guard (aka realistic mech with mundane tech vs kaiju) than Patlabor.
The only western show I heard trying to emulate gundam is Gen:lock (Idk how much of that is true, I didn't watch it either).

Frieren, I've been meaning to watch, but I'm not really in the mood watching anime lately, for some reasons. (It's always like an on/off situation for me, I don't really follow seasonal anime stuff)
Used to watch Tensura, too. But, I don't really remember what the last episode I watched, it was actually fun for an Isekai, before the crazy power level escalation.
The only recent anime I watched and finished recently (and even then, it's the last year stuff), is Gundam Witch from The Mercury, and Kaina of the Great Snow Sea.

I have it in my to watch list. Too many people recomended it.
I got distracted by Jigokuraku (Hell's Paradise) and Shangri-La Frontier. I am also third of the way through Pluto.
"Curse of the bountiful" I guess.
My mother doesn't understand her own economic situation. Let alone a country half a continent and an ocean away.
There is a joke.
Two economists are talking.
"I don't understand the economy."
"Oh you don't let me explain it to you."
"I can explain it at lengh and in detail. I just don't understand."
*sigh*
Why do Malaysians do this...
I just saw 'fanart' of Kak Ros in some Malaysian internet circles. Like... why? Literally why?!?
I will leave it to the Malaysians to explain who Kak Ros is to the non-Southeast Asians of this sub, but I am perennially disappointed now.
