  Are you done yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “You need…”

  Is not a command…

  You keep placing false intent and meaning. That is a form of manipulation and gas lighting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to let it go, or get over whatever this weird outrage this is that you are having.

  I can feel however I want, you don’t get to gatekeep that.

  I didn’t tell George RR Martin to do anything. I said a line on a social media forum.

  You are choosing to take my words in the way you are describing and not in the way I intended. That is a form of manipulation and gas lighting. Especially after I clarified.

  Who called me entitled? I guess I missed that. That’s a weird take, whoever said it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could at least come up with a response that already hasn’t been said several times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Man the Sanderson hate in this post is real.

  I only suggested him because he helped finish the Wheel of Time series.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at it this way.

  He was clearly starting to stall in his later books, taking so long to get them out, and instead of starting to wrap up the storyline, he started introducing new elements.

  I understand why he hasn’t moved forward, but I’ve lost all interest in ever picking up another book of his. The terrible writing by D&D certainly didn’t help.

  My feelings of frustration are valid and my criticism is not unfounded.

  I do appreciate your thoughtful response, thank you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t say anything remotely close to saying artists owed me anything. Dude bit off more than he can chew.

  I have a right to be frustrated when I’m invested in a story and it just stops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC correctly, they were so checked out, working on potential future projects (that were also fucking terrible), that they had most of the work passed off to others?

  Honestly though, I blame the author. GOT was great until they ran out of source material. Then you saw how terrible D&D really are at this. MF still hasn’t finished the series. If you can’t finish it, then don’t fucking start it.

  Maybe Sanderson can pick up the mantle for this one too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to vent about plastic milk jugs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I sometimes did the same, but I grew up on a dairy farm and had milk that wasn’t homogenized.

  We used these old one gal apple juice bottles that had a narrow neck, so the cream would float to the top and collect in the narrow opening.

  When I got older, I actually liked getting that first dollop of cream on my cereal.

  Now though, anything over 2% just tastes too heavy. Growing up on unpasteurized milk, I am amazed at what I got away with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to vent about plastic milk jugs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It causes the fat to separate. Maybe she got skim milk?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to vent about plastic milk jugs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Milk is ruined if it is frozen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Makes sense⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My company has one every year. Heck, it is even just our regional department, so each department has its own.

  It was 80’s themed this year. They had live music and even a Back to the Future mocked up Delorian outside of the venue. A couple of free drink tickets, free buffet style food all around, a bunch of 80’s arcade machines, and a pretty awesome raffle.

  The company is also employee owned and not beholden to stockholder parasites.

  It’s amazing what a company can do when your profits aren’t maximized and sucked out.

  Wall Street should be burned to the ground and billionaires crucified over its ashes.

  My wife and I were enjoying sexy time and she was on top. My mouth was hideously dry because of a new medication I was on.

  I REALLY want a drink, but I don’t want to kill the moment. She and I are both fully in. So I get the idea, “Baby, spit in my mouth.” Not only did it relieve my dry mouth but it threw me over the edge like Thelma and Louise. I did not expect to react that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bread mold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I eat moldy cheese all the time!

  But I imagine bleu cheese mold doesn’t have the toxins these other types do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Naturally⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My favorite thing about Laplace and Fourier transforms was making a fabulous looking F and L.

  Their functions are so fucking spectacularly useful, but I just loved writing it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨reaction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨reaction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say, “That’s not a burger.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon, Google, Microsoft reportedly warn H-1B employees to stay in the US⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t about deporting people.

  This is about new H1-B’s coating $100k.

  Companies want their H1-Bs back on the U.S. so they can avoid paying the additional cost as long as they can.

  I do think companies abuse these visa’s, but this is a really fucking stupid approach.

  MAGA really has gone full retard. There is not two brain cells among them.

  They are absolutely incapable of affecting any change without causing consequences that are worse than the perceived initial problem.

  I guess it doesn’t matter when your base, all the way up to the VP, are a bunch of bootlicking morons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The man show was a left wing attack on incels.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s still on. He is just not getting his contract renewed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The man show was a left wing attack on incels.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You may be right.

  I only have time for one show though, and for now, that is Colbert.

  I do think what happened to JK is beyond fucked up and it is just another peg on my radicalization meter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The man show was a left wing attack on incels.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This show is the reason I have always dislike him.

  He was kind of funny on “Win Ben Stein’s Money”, so I initially looked forward to this show.

  But then I watched it and it kind of pissed me off. Like, is this what a “man” is supposed to be? A sexist douchebag with a terrible sense of humor.

  It was a TERRIBLE show. Glorified womanizing and binge drinking.

  Despite what he says now, that was who he was. He shouldn’t have had a career after that.

  But he’s just a talking head. He doesn’t write his material, he just reads teleprompters and has celebrity friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little Pea Shooters⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. It does pull some in, but not directly at earth, and the majority is either “eaten” by Jupiter or slung out of the system.

  Jupiter’s pull is so great, compared to earth, that the ones that do get past or then pulled more towards the sun.

  At least that is how my professor described it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little Pea Shooters⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also a shield for earth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is the enemy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can attest to that. I am an EE that moved into Construction Management (much more fulfilling).

  I am running projects that I used to engineer the designs for.

  I fucking hate my engineers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is the enemy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to gather that then smoke does NOT smell like cum too.

  Or is that why you love it? 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is the enemy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call me...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought he was a great contributer. It was disappointing to see it fall apart like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call me...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the thing…
