Up until very recently, “goon” meant something different and had no sexual connotation whatsoever. I’m still a little hazy on what “goon” has turned into, and why.

I dated a philosophy professor for a while. The one thing she wanted was to be tied up with ropes and spanked hard. I was ok with this.

As I’m reading this I’m sitting in my bathroom staring at the shower curtain my wife picked out which has an equally infuriating moon illustration…

He voted for trump twice, so this is partly on him. But he said he will not be voting for trump again, so maybe reality has finally set in. Voting for trump is voting along side Nazis.

Exactly. I’m just saying it’s not fair to the external applicants whose time is wasted- like you said; but it’s also unfair to the internal preselected people who have to “compete” for a job that should already be theirs.
It all seems it’s just fine to satisfy some bureaucratic quota nonsense.

I worked at a job for a long time as a contractor. I was originally hired as a temporary filler, but they liked me so well that they kept me on, and let other lower-performing contractors go instead, despite me being the newest. Eventually due to economic downturns they released all their contractors, including me.
A few years later as the economy recovered, they brought me back as a contractor again, with the intention of hiring me once a position became available. Months later, one did open up and they specifically told me to apply for that position as an internal hire - but they would have to open it up for external applicants too.
I was a tad annoyed that some external applicant could in theory swoop in and take my “promised” position away from me, even though I’d been doing the job for years and was clearly the favored candidate.
I felt bad for the external applicants who probably never really had a chance, but at the same time I felt I’d earned that job.
I did get hired, of course, and I am still at the company to this day - fifteen years later. And I’m up for another promotion at the end of this fiscal quarter.

- Comment on Academic writing 1 month ago:
I dated a girl who acted like writing / talking like they made her better / smarter than other people. She got off on the elitism. I’m no academic slouch, but my philosophy is if you can’t break it down in basic terms that anyone can understand, then you don’t understand it enough yourself.

- Comment on What are your favorite racing games? 2 months ago:
Dirt (series) - because I love rally racing.
Motorstorm (series) - because racing across an active volcano is fun as fuck.
Carmageddon (series) - because it’s insane and hilarious.
Twisted Metal 2 - not really a racing game, but close enough.

My kid - a seven year old Minecraft addict - says it looks all wrong but he still wants to go see it. He says he thinks it will still be fun.
