With all the crazy ass things that can kill us off, I don’t think we’re alone in the universe, but we may very well be alone in time.
The Fermi Paradox might just the the likelyhood to get wiped out from motions to everything and we’re too far away to get contact in this gnat’s ass of a conscious timeline we’re in.

I used to work with some swingers.
I asked them about the lifestyle.
“You have a lot of sex, but it’s not necessarily with people you’d be interested in having sex with. Sometimes you’re the other side of that equation.”

We are hard-wired to fear death so we don’t usher it on. By the time we are old enough to die of natural causes, we are in enough pain and so starved for serotonin that we’re more or less ok with it.

I’m still seeing a lot of red-pill bumper stickers and trump flags in the back of pickups.
I’m not saying there’s not paid trolls on the internet, but there are still WAY too many supporters with IRL, local impact shit the way it is.

And let’s be honest, fewer of us survived than nowadays.
Yeah, not everyone got rocketed out the front window from lying up on the rear deck of our parents’ oldsmobile. Not all of us had life altering injuries from jumping bikes off shitty ramps with no protection. Not every one of us ended up in a pedo neighbors basement, But some of us did. Our parents’ apathy to parenting and our own poor judgment skills weren’t lessons to make us better or badges of honor. We survived despite of all that rather than because of it.

What I’d actually like to know is how it was chosen. At that distance, we can’t see anything from position and luminosity, and even the luminosity is rough to bake out of other bias. We’re better at telling that there’s a moon. Is this an artists rendition? It is a reasonable calculation due to age and plate tectonics?
I don’t hate it, but if it’s just art for the sake of art, why not go earth-like?

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a post about sucking robot dick today, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?"

Mental issues make you an easy target for religion.
Lots of things cause mental issues.
Not to say that all religious people have mental issues. It’s just religion has a compelling business model.
- Comment on And no paper towels to use on the handle 1 week ago:
What else do they touch? How many are employees? The door is only gross because you know it’s being touched. EVERYTHING is being touched, and something like 50% of people don’t wash their hands properly or at all.
- Comment on And no paper towels to use on the handle 1 week ago:
Those same people are touching everything else in the store/world. The employees have touched every item on the floor. half of those don’t wash their hands. The door only feels gross because you have no doubt.
- Comment on And no paper towels to use on the handle 1 week ago:
There are plenty of ways to make this better. Most of it’s theater because there’s nothing really wrong with touching the door, but some of the ways are not even expensive to make it comfortable for germaphobes.
Single bathroom doors always swing out
Copper-plate the handles
If you have to swing in, add a foot handle.

There would be more green text.
Incidentally, I made that post before lunch and thought about it so much I went upstairs and made it :) Added cotija cheese and a big spoon of salsa.
I’m now partially comatose :P

I just throw the nuggets in a large mixing bowl. Toss in a couple tbl of Gochujang, 1 tbl toasted sesame oil a tsp of honey, some sesame seeds, 2 tsp garlic powder, green onion, thin shallot, and a nice healthy dose of kosher salt. If I’m feeling fusiony, i’ll swap the salt with Sazon seasoning.

I agree totally, but more likely, he’d become a Disney Executive of Gaming
- Comment on Disney may be interested in acquiring Epic Games at some point, it’s claimed 2 weeks ago:
Nah, acquisition layoffs come from when you’re shopping your company around, and there’s a deal on the table, but you need that extra 7% of profit. Sweeney would need to be shopping for that to happen. As it sits, they’d probably have to pay him a premium in their own stock to make it happen.
The entire tech and games sectors are shedding like fuck because everyone else is. You normally can’t drop 10% of your staff without pissing off the public and scaring investors, but when all the competitors are doing it, it’s just the market correcting. The investors are clamoring for this.
- Comment on Disney may be interested in acquiring Epic Games at some point, it’s claimed 2 weeks ago:
Disney has historically been pretty shit at handling their games. They mainly sell IP and have their artists make sure the third-party output is acceptable.
I doubt they could handle buying something that big in the game space manage not interviene enough to fuck it up.

But with GenZ cashiers, I say thank you, and then realize they had stopped paying any attention to my presence
Generally, what works for me is to say it like you mean it. Say it like they just walked across the store to pick up a can that rolled off your cart. throw a little ‘unexpected’ in there, light smile, and then tell them to have a good day. If you don’t sell it, they’re going to assume you’re going through the motions just to feed the machine. They’ll blip back to you for a second from the next mundane task, get a smirk or a little grin, and say you’re welcome. Then GTFO, don’t tie em up, don’t make em think you’re flirting.
I doubt it makes their day noticeably better. It hasn’t seem to make them noticeably worse. They’re probably burned out and don’t want to emotionally invest further into their job.

Me too, with all people, but specifically only the breathing ones. :P
Each generation goes through a phase where they need to weigh out what “vocal authoritative” people are saying.
Each generation later goes through a phase where they try to pass “what worked for them” off to the younger generation.
Sometimes, it rings true, some times is rings out of touch. Sometimes the advice is too suspect to trust but they don’t want to start an argument.
My father tried to tell me I needed to get in somewhere that had a nice pension plan because Funds where bullshit. Turns out funds are bullshit, but pension plans are dinosaurs now and often get raided even worse than fund sheets.
My own is find a good place to work with managers that listen, work hard, become dependable, work harder, become hard to replace, start climbing the ladder.
Either of these things should absolutely cause a blank processing stare on a 20-30 something, because neither are anywhere near universal,
