  I run my own company (a one man operation) contracting technology services primarily to a single business with occasional short contracts to other businesses. My main contract has been the same company for several years. I’ve gained enough trust to say a lot of really blunt shit to C levels.

  That’s the thing. A lot of them want someone to be blunt to them from time to time. If they don’t have that they become unmoored from reality.

  You bring up a good point. No, I wouldn’t. I phrased it poorly. Imagine I’m having empathy for those in need or redirecting dumb ass kids doing dumb ass kid things.

  But honestly criminal gangs aren’t generally doing penny ante local shop bullshit. They’ll shake them down, but it’s just not worth it to steal from local shops when big retailers offer more goods in one place. Unless it’s a boutique shop, and I’ll be honest, I don’t go to those.

  Whether or not I saw something has zero to do with what they’re stealing and everything to do with where they’re stealing from.

  You do not steal from Mom and Pop shops. I will not say anything to the staff, but I might pay for it or I might direct you to a better place to go steal.

  If I see something in Walmart, no I fucking didn’t. I don’t care what it is.

  I would follow that man into hell.

  That was my question. I’m working on a brisket as we speak and I don’t plan on watching sports, wearing a red hat, or treating any women like shit.

  I also have a truck that I haul shit in, but notice I don’t feel the need to ask what’s wrong with that. I know very fucking well what’s wrong with trucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck the IRS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the idea of paying taxes, I just hate that I’m paying a larger percentage of my “wealth” than someone whose net worth is several orders of magnitude more.

  The other side of that is when I see someone using a service that my tax dollars are paying for I feel pretty good.

  Well now we know how Palpatine came back.

  They left out the good shit. The Apocalypse of Peter preaching universal salvation and the Enoch books with all the cool stuff in them.

  You must be a sys admin. I used to be and that was my first instinct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are allowed flavor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would assume that the texture of the onion is part of the appeal. So if you grill it you’ve got to either toast the bread or add a few chips to get that crunch.

  I mean, yeah.

  However, in this particular case I think the CEO was running this as a pump and dump for nearly a decade, claiming to be fully funded and having no board (because he claimed it was self funded), and giving himself massive raises year over year.

  So a private equity firm bought something hollow. I have some guesses about it. Probably a friend of his, probably got it cheap, and is about to gut whatever is left now that the guy who did own it got out with what he could. Why would PE buy it otherwise? There’s no goodwill or name to cash in on like what’s being done with Native Instruments.

  I said no contact, dammit!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of people have a terrible relationship with at least one person. An ex, a parent, a grandparent, an old friend who stole all your alcohol and refused to give it back or pay for it even though he knew you needed it for a get together you were having so you had to go buy all new alcohol on short notice which means you had to leave your brisket smoking unattended so you could drive to the next county and ended up with a brisket that was overdone, whatever. I don’t think it’s “wife bad” so much as it is “everyone knows a shitbag”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon remembers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re probably right. I just prefer to err on the side of over explaining that I never have a problem with what any adult is doing with any other consenting adult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon remembers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. I had a friend who, when she would get the “up” she’d engage in very risky sex with whoever was around. Then when she’d come down she’d hate herself for it and have to deal with the fallout.

  Don’t get me wrong, I’m sex positive. Do what you want with who you want. I just see how much it hurt her to constantly be getting std tests and spending all that money on plan b and fucking up her cycle.

  First, thank you for pointing this out. I had to go and fill my brain hole with a bunch of information about this absolutely fascinating discovery. I really thought you were discussing some science fiction concept initially.

  Second, what in the actual fuck did I just read?!?
