- Comment on Like Elon Musk, 1 in 3 bosses admit they are pushing RTO because they're so upset about wasting money on all those empty desks 3 days ago:
One of the only aspects of my previous employer that was smart and well-run was the attitude about RTO. Before the pan, the owner was planning to rent a second space in the same building to expand. Post-pan, we did a six week experiment where everyone came back two days per week. The metrics didn’t meaningfully change and we downsized. Everyone became fully remote unless they needed supplies from the office for a client.
They managed everything terribly, but at least got that right.

I probably read about as much on my phone as I do on paper. I would never read a book on my phone. I hate that experience compared to reading a physical book when it comes to such media. I would have to think about it a lot more to explain it coherently, but it’s ok for wikipedia and not ok for books.

I describe my book purchasing as “aspirational.” I learn about way too many (potentially) interesting books / authors / topics compared to my time to read. If I complete one third of the books in my library before death, I will be satisfied.

I heard that edible underwear is actually pretty disappointing. Having to spend more time eating them (hours, even!) doesn’t sound appealing.
- Comment on I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British? 1 week ago:
The only correct format is from greatest to smallest: yyyy-mm-dd
This is, in my mind, verifiable by noting the way that lists are ordered when using this format. They are sequential. This isn’t true for either of the other formats.

I’m sorry that I don’t have a good technical solution. I recommend defenestration. At least you’ll feel better.

Put it on your car and take another picture to show that you did. Being an ally for internet clout isn’t enough. Sorry for posting a bunch on a single thread, I guess I kinda care a lot about this.

Years ago, my mother told me she wasn’t opposed to gay people, she just didn’t like “how they have to be so in your face about it.” Wtf? Do gay men at the grocery store accost you and make you watch them make out?!
That’s why I believe that trans people are being attacked in real life. Also, I know that what we see on the internet and television bleeds into real life.

This is sound advice. There are too many bad actors among cops to trust them to be impartial or fair.

Username confirms my impulse to state that I have a duty to eat mushrooms with my partner on major holidays. We did on TG last month and on Xmas day last year. No kids to get in the way and kitties are fucking soft and awesome.

thanks to my husband
It’s all my husband’s fault that I want to curse my child with a shitty name. How they go through life doesn’t matter to me. They’re my creation, and what I want is all that matters.
What the actual fuck. Just name your kid Paisley if you don’t care about their experience after they leave your body. Whether kids know who Jessica Simpson is or not, you’re giving your kid a stupid name. They will correctly hate you for it.
- Comment on Want to buy jewlery as a gift for the girlfriend, I know nothing about jewlery, where to start? 1 month ago:
Go to a jewelry shop and ask for advice. If they’re any good at their job, they field tons of customers just like you and make recommendations based on what you tell them about your partner and maybe a photo.
