  it’s dead as soon as leadership starts targeting acquisition. internal priorities change and it’s not on a quality product, it’s on pumping the numbers to look favourably regardless of truthfulness

  or maybe I’m just bitter because I see this happening at my own workplace. we just launched a new website, and pretty much every claim about our culture and process and priorities is a lie. it used to be true. it hasn’t been in a couple years, and it sure as fuck isn’t right now.

  wait until you try the [bell] pepper version

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You've Just Been Hit By The Front Burner Gang⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  sorry, bud. that’s the high power position on my stove

  I’m not happy with it, either. but it’s what it is.

  if it makes you feel any better, the front left is the large diameter position. similar power but not packed as densely, so doesn’t work on a 10" pan

  absolute fucking trash, jump kicking a retreating man from behind

  attempted murder, lock 'em up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When am I?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  were you happy or sad upon learning that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boy Dinner⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  if I had made this for my ex, our relationship probably would have lasted longer

  not that that would have been a good thing, it was destined to fail for other reasons. but she’d have loved the fuck outta this and it’s way better than the mac & cheese and tendies she made herself

  they have lactose free. that’s it.

  these are clearly nails scavenged from free wood on facebook

  sometimes you don’t have an option. it forces you to install updates

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fandom won’t allow adblockers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  this is extra funny because as anyone who’s been to fandom without an ad blocker knows, the site is 80% aids

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawful evil⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  always the victim, these delivery drivers…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon listens to the radio⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  agreed, but when the bar is set by vehicle UIs, that sort of becomes the reference point rather than what is logical

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon listens to the radio⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  T9 texting with one hand without looking at the phone is less dangerous than using a modern vehicles touchscreen climate controls

  fight me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me_IRL⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ah yes, because going for a bike ride is so expensive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP 🚽⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no

  nah, she’s just another level up from where you’re thinking

  if it’s Robertson, the impact driver is the tool to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recession indicator, what do you call this dish?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  tuna, mayo, mustard, onion, celery, salt, tomato

  mix any and all in whatever portions please you. you can get great flavour and texture

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life comes at you fast!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ah ok, I’m not very familiar with cats. thank you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every. Time.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  problem is I do half my shopping by bike (so I try to leave the bags in my basket) and 80% without a cart (so I still need to transport things from cash to my car)

  usually when I forgot to bring bags in I can just do an awkward armful back to the car

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dealing With An Aussie Phone Company⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  mine texts me once a month or so about promotions or updates on legal stuff in my country

  usually that shit pisses me off but it happens so infrequently or is actually good info that I don’t mind it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time keeps marching forward⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lightweight cars are fine in the winter. just get snow tires and drive well

  source: drove a tercel in the winter for years, did it later on with a Yaris as well

  I dislike heavier cars because they have so much more momentum. hard to change direction with little traction and you run into things with more energy. little cars you can just spin the wheels, find some traction, and go where you’re pointing.

  clearly you didn’t learn, since diamonds are a pretty common shape

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I did that for a long time, but there’s so many that I just kinda gave up on keeping up with it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever relics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  all the drive screws I’ve ever had to work with are just a phillips head, nothing special

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever relics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have literally a dozen allen key sets, at least, and toss the freebies into a drawer

  they come in handy every now and then when you need to hammer one into a partially stripped bolt head or something like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  if they can’t ship their products safely, that’s on them.

  I’m not the one choosing the shipping service, they are.

  yeah it’s pretty infuriating that terrorists get free meals

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are solutions to our problems...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  also because people are selfish and dumb and want to stay that way

  a ton of shit is because of billionaires and the like

  but also a ton of shit is because your neighbour doesn’t want the perceived inconvenience of a crosswalk and reduced intersection size at the end of the street
