• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stereotyping is wrong.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When politics felt like shades of policy disagreements I could see it. Now it is either you support democracy and human rights or you’re supporting pedophiles and genocide. Not much common ground anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It makes me shudder⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can find all sorts of gore on the Interwebs. This one… This one terrifies me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it keeps getting momentum⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The big guys will be fine. Your 401(k)? Fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can people irl be as mean as some people online?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I should have specified “people” in this context are coworkers. So, on the same page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can people irl be as mean as some people online?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Filters are generally stronger when paychecks are involved. That said, there are definitely people who don’t trust others they’ve only met virtually. On the flip side I’ve found people who I’ve met in person are then more apt to share their more extreme views with me online even in a work setting. It is a fascinating psychological and sociological phenomenon.

  Art of the Deal™ mother fuckers!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Statement From The White House⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Always.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My feelings on the Super Bowl⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ITT: my people.

  I love this community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not sketchy at all⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahh, yeah, maybe. Looked like exposed copper to me but it might be covered.

  All good then!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not sketchy at all⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Top right… Wire that comes from the top of the left breaker probably used to go to the right breaker is hanging in mid air. That’s the one most likely to change someone’s life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come on, I left Napster running and my mom got Choco Tacos.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Left Napster running.”

  JFC that’s a mind melt. I forgot that we used to “leave things on” to let them do stuff like download music. “On” was not the default. Now, everything is on all the time and I hadn’t realized until this moment how much I was attuned to that. I want to go back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE agents attempt to arrest US Citizen in St Peter, Minnesota⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That unmarked car stops me without warning and four masked men with guns drawn jump out of the car I’m assuming I’m in a fight for my life.

  I’d lose, but you’re dead either way in that scenario. This woman came within moments of the end of her life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I push people away if I'm so lonely?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Beautiful. Fuck dog and parent… never had a graph make me well up with tears.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yale Posting It's Ls⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Had someone unironically suggest that if Trump takes a third term that it would open the way for Obama to run again.

  Anyone citing the old order of rules, laws, and fairness is delusional or under informed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no training award⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The temu tacti-gear is a nice touch. Can’t even SS properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I drive a car that was made when I was 6 and it is eligible for antique plates. Nap time, indeed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If they had a secret/method/process they’d use it to get rich instead of fleecing people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Time. A regime as dysfunctional as this can’t go on indefinitely… Like, it is physically impossible for it to think far enough ahead for it to be resilient enough to last. Unfortunately, a lot of good people will suffer before then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No, I will not identify all the pictures with bicycles in them.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, plumbing supplies of all ridiculous things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No, I will not identify all the pictures with bicycles in them.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most frustrating one I came across recently was between the shopping cart and the payment screens. Are you fucking kidding me? I want to give you my money. I’m about to pay you. That’s why you exist. And you put three fucking captchas between me and the “buy” button? Fuck you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Education is important. ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fear the 1%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fEEt⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would have totally expected the downward gradient from head to foot, but I can’t grasp that little bump at the lower leg. Any thoughts on why that is there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can you tell from this photo alone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair. I missed the anteceding piss headwater. It pains me to think our antihero died perhaps with a full bladder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can you tell from this photo alone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is art, but for the lack of mention of the piss spot on the far right. My guess is that he gave up on all decorum or hope for the future and started pissing almost over the side of the balcony. Then as he leaned over to see his last attempt to create something meaningful splash on the pavement below he looked a bit too far. It was not a planned act of finality, yet in that moment of weightlessness his last, fleeting thought was, “Probably for the best…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People selling refurb PCs are looking for any excuse to hike the price. It is how the market works. I guarantee you paid a premium for any device with a memory chip, new or used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet you pronounce gif wrong, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You paint a beautiful, utopian picture of how life could be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Evidence shows performance holds or climbs when people choose flexible setups with solid support from managers and peers.

  That’s the part these chuckle-head RTO folks willfully ignore. In a virtual environment you have to lead differently, and since they’re never the ones who are wrong it must be everyone else who is broken.

  With the right leadership and support mechanisms virtual work absolutely can raise all boats. But that means you have to be willing to change. And open-mindedness is not typically an attribute selected for in corporate senior leaders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just want it, jack! ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like a DIY opportunity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World would be a better place⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would keep snacks and beverages on the ready. “C’mon in! The iced tea is cold and the muffins are just about done. Now, what were you saying about cumulonimbus formations and their impact on dairy production?”
