I have no career. I've worked in finance, HR, IT, writing and even as a life guard. Each different role helped make me who I am and each different role had its own frustrations. I sometimes regret not picking a path and sticking to it, but at the same time I am really proud of my ability to adapt.

Don’t let your kids play Roblox.

He was both surprised and impressed at just how well this cheap and cheery controller performed, even when compared to its much more expensive competition.
