  This is exactly it. They don’t like their profit margin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I become the dullest, most boring coworker so this needy man leaves me alone?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re trying to salvage a work relationship and ‘say the right things’ I get it, but sometimes being blunt and abrupt is exactly what’s needed. Something short but courteous like ‘its always great catching up but I need to get to work’ or even more direct like ‘im sorry but I don’t have time to be doing this in the mornings and these conversations are putting me behind on my work.’ or if this isn’t a situation where you’re trying to preserve a work relationship go the abrasive route and state that you’ve tried to be kind but if he doesn’t stop talking to you you’ll be forced to go to HR. You have protections for exactly this situation if you do report to HR.

  Wow thank you for the detailed type up! I’ll have to give this a shot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 154 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You have any pointers on this game? Not sure if I just sucked at it or had bad starts but never was able to make it through more than a session without dying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nuclear⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If it hasn’t been already said: the issue is public perception. If you ask any American in the street what they relate to nuclear power the majority will tell you: Chorynobyl. Even though anyone that’s looked up anything knows that technology is leaps ahead of that disaster, that’s the fear mongering that everyone jumps to.

  Just right up front with the card pack gambling mechanic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning I choose violence.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Satisfactory reference in the comments of a shitpost. I’m surprised, pleasantly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning I choose violence.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never slaughtered system resources so thoroughly than with that game. Love me some DSP. Satisfactory is a very close second but idk man, DSP is sooooo much more satisfying when you start seeing a sphere progressing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little Rocket Lab is a Factorio and Stardew Valley mashup about building a rocketship in a cute town⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much course of events for me as well haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you fail to plan ahead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Boomer humor levels of shitposting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tipping culture is out of control, even the cops expect tips now!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I swear to God this is like the 10th post I’ve seen of this guy’s face and not ONE is serious about tracking the killer. I fucking love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boil em, Mash em, Stick them in a Stew⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To provide a simper, clearer answer: It’s not necessarily the sprouts, but the coloration of the potato. If you go to peel it and it’s green, don’t eat it. When it turns green it basically is producing solanine which is toxic if consumed in large amounts, causes digestive distress. Opinions are mixed. Some say throw it, others say just peel until white. So overall sprouts don’t matter, it’s what is underneath the skin of the potato.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How embarrassing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah nah. As long as money is in our politics, insurance companies will continue to lobby for keeping the system how it is. They’ll never change it because it’s a racket. Who the hell thought healthcare should be publicly held and done for profit is the closest thing to pure evil I can imagine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You best start believing in a cyberpunk dystopia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s hard for me to believe this strictly because A) those things are fucking expensive, and B) aren’t they like …hella fucking fast??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good to see AAFES looking out for my health⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I miss how cigarettes used to taste man. I’m not sure if it’s because they’re loaded with additives now or what but all cigarettes taste like shit to me. So even if I wanted to pay the ludicrous price for them, it’s still not worth it for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YEET⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta love Tumblr. Just massive amounts of disinformation and bullshit all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meal prep⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is as dumb as people ‘marinating’ diet coke by leaving it in the fridge. Can’t level with this level of absurdity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do not want to do anything. Is this addiction?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be depression linked to social media addiction. Depends on the amount of screentime, and don’t take what I’m saying as actual advice. But if you want to try something, try cutting down your screentime and see if it alleviates it. Could be burnout from work as well. I’ve had several bouts of light depression to where EVERYTHING seems like a chore to do just because my job is so damn demanding.

  Wow that is so cool holy shit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So greed. Like everyone predicted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨never skip⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so low effort / non comical it should be a shitpost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions our energy sector⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always wonder where we would actually be at as a civilization if it weren’t for fuckass lobbyists and money hoarding greedy assholes. This is a perfect example. If we’d learned from our mistakes and actually improved on nuclear energy there’s no telling where we’d be at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand his coworker⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was that a =3 reference??? Christ I haven’t heard that in like a decade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro you’re barking up the wrong tree. I was providing information to a question. Regardless of your stance, the statement I made still stands. Talk to a vegan, that’s their belief. I’m not even vegan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Very toxic, and very hostile if you do stupid, dumb corpo bullshit. Fuck this guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So my wife went vegan for a bit and the logic is basically any living thing we take advantage of or make their lives more of a labor. So eggs, honey, milk aren’t vegan because companies put those animals in situations they normally wouldn’t be in in the wild to take advantage and harvest products from them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  sigh Man, that really didn’t summarize much. The background music was baller tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something sticky has invaded my life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My guess would be the phone case or anything else you’re in high contact with made out of a rubber composite type.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I always get them confused.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. Thank you for typing that up! What an amazing mind the author has to come up with something so uniquely different, at least that I’ve read or heard of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hellboy: The Crooked Man gets a digital release in October (8th)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched the trailer. It actually looks like a legit suspense / horror movie. It’s a far cry from what most are used to with the Hellboy movies here, but I’m still interested in giving it a chance.
