Oh here we go again. You know that shit is why WWI happened, right?

When I was a programmer I liked wearing suits and sport jackets and Norwegian wool sweaters and selvedge jeans and the like, even though it negatively impacted my career. People in my profession genuinely assumed that I must not have been a very good programmer because of it. Now I’m a school bus driver and whenever I dress like I used to (which is very rarely) everybody assumes I have a job interview or a date.

Ha ha, my residual /r/MaleFashionAdvice instincts kicked in on this one.

That and Quake II are the only console games I’ve ever sunk an enormous amount of time into.
- Comment on More unions! 6 days ago:
I’m a school bus driver and we’re unionized (Teamsters) … at least for now. Our contract states that if ever fewer than than 50% of the drivers are in the union, the contract is voided. A lot of the newer drivers are not signing up for the union because they don’t want to pay the dues which are around $80 per month. We are surrounded by non-union school districts that pay their drivers about $8 less per hour and don’t provide health insurance, PTO or a pension like we get.
In case this isn’t obvious, school bus drivers are generally some dumb motherfuckers.

“Don’t You (Forget About Me)” might be the best '80s song ever, complete with the band (Simple Minds) originally hating the song.

There are also some that do not care if their product even makes it to the destination.
I started buying 50 lb. bags of bread flour from Amazon during COVID. One of the bags was reported as delivered although it never showed up at my house. I went through the claim process and eventually got a new bag for free. Two fucking years later the original bag showed up at my house, with packing tape crudely placed over a couple of large holes. The flour was filled with mouse turds. I wonder what godforsaken corner of an Amazon warehouse that thing was sitting in for so long.

I’ve written routines to do it multiple times for my software synthesis apps and it still feels like fucking magic.

Tree of Heaven is pretty weak sauce. I had a large one fall over in a storm and land on my skoolie (school bus converted to a motorhome). The bus was completely unhurt, not even a scratch.

Supposably that was a form of execution in ancient china. They would stake the victim over a bamboo sprout which would eventually grow through their chest.

I grew basil in a pot outside a few years ago. One day I was picking a few leaves and the plant bit me. I was like WTF? I was reasonably certain herbs do not bite. This happened a couple more times until I noticed it was actually a praying mantis living in the plant, perfectly camouflaged.

Fun Eiffel Tower fact: for the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, Eiffel offered to build a duplicate of his Parisian tower built four years earlier, but twice as tall. Chicago went with the Ferris Wheel instead, saving us from Eiffel Bueller’s Day Off.

I played naked frisbee in college one time. I hadn’t realized it before, but running with your nuts flopping around is fucking painful. I had to hold them with one hand which is fine when you’re playing frisbee, but how the hell did men fight like that with a sword in one hand and a shield on the other arm?

It puts the 70 spf lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again. 15 minutes before sun exposure.
- Comment on Men against bush 1 week ago:
I grew up in the '70s and volunteered at the local recycling center, so I had a collection of literally every porn magazine from back then - Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, Oui etc. etc. Multiple copies of each issue. Even weird high-quality stuff that showed actual penetration and cumshots and whatnot (big no-nos with the major publications at the time). Not a single bare bush in all of that stuff.

I’d go with “The The” except you’d get a copyright strike.

“We need term limits” lol. Term limits mean politicians need to line their pockets even faster. Fucking Rome was famous for this shit.

They’re still a thing everywhere in Louisiana. They put a piece of scotch tape over the lid which of course is just a completely unsolvable puzzle until you get home with it.

If I had to work for Zuck I’d be fucking thrilled to be on the buddy yacht instead of the main ship.

“Flaming death cheese sandwich”
- Comment on Oh that is BRUTAL 5 weeks ago:
Ironically, my grilled cheese method is to build the sandwich open-faced, place it under the broiler to melt and brown the cheese, then fold it up and cook both sides in a pan. This allows me to fuck it up three different times instead of just once.
