- Comment on Steve Jobs: The difference of stealing yourself vs being stolen from 1 year ago:
fortunately our mobile OS manufacturer operates the most widely used search engine - so it’s a triviality to find the answer
- Comment on Steve Jobs: The difference of stealing yourself vs being stolen from 1 year ago:
rofl. apple stole their gui from xerox, so I guess he knew how it worked.

- Comment on Is it just my parents, or do most Boomers view saying "please" and "thank you" as an afterthought? 1 year ago:
dunno, but my folks (boomer generation) raised me to say please and thank you. good manners and politeness dont cost anything, after all. in practice these days I generally only use that verbiage when I’m writing up email at work.

- Comment on Minimum Wage workers not using common sense are the worst. 1 year ago:
maybe it’s just the ones in my area. or they chose not to upgrade? i dunno
- Comment on Minimum Wage workers not using common sense are the worst. 1 year ago:
in that vein, I find it odd that some businesses that could really use self checkout aisles dont have them - like Target - they’re always understaffed and there’s always long lines. like, just install some self checkout machines already, jeez.

- Comment on You just won the Mega Millions 1 year ago:
I’d give my folks a couple million, extended family a few million total. money needs to be moved around and my family absolutely excels at spending lol.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
maybe that’s the best timeline?
- Comment on 100, here I cum 1 year ago:
oh no, my job was offshored by IBM - I decided I wasnt going to work anymore and did that for a few years. then I ran low on funds and found a new job. I could quit now & do the same thing for a few years but I’ve got a different plan this time around, it’ll drastically reduce my monthly expenditures allowing my next “retirement” to much longer - possibly permanent.
- Comment on 100, here I cum 1 year ago:
yeah, you could call it that. for my mental health I referred to it as a retirement.

- Comment on 100, here I cum 1 year ago:
there’s far more addictive opiates available these days anyway.
- Comment on 100, here I cum 1 year ago:
eh, you’re free to retire in your mid 30s. it’s easy. i retired in my late 30s, then went back to work again when I ran out of money a few years later. it was nice, i look forward to retiring again.

lol that’s actually funny.
- Comment on Why actors are smoking in movies and tv shows? 1 year ago:
legacy of big tobacco. smoking transcends time as well - like, you arent going to see a character from pre-10 years ago “movie time” vaping, but smoking various plants has been a thing for quite a few centuries now.
- Comment on Ordered 20+ groceries from Amazon on Prime Day. Today my order arrived with each item packaged separately. 1 year ago:
