- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 4 days ago:
I think it might be this. A lot of traditional media outlets are mad about twitter becoming such a necessity for them. The old guard is mad that they have to cater to this bullshit online platform. The new guard is mad at the fact that the best outlet for breaking online news is suddenly owned and operated by a fascist.
All of them want to say that x is bullshit, but they don’t want to actually lose the clicks/ market share that comes with it. So they keep passive-aggressively calling it twitter.
Drunkenly thinking about it, this is kinda like calling a trans person by their dead name. Except it’s insulting a shitty company led by a shithead, so I’m cool with it.

I have met many, many school teachers in my adult life and the vast majority of them are lovely people. There has only been one who I’d describe as a psychopath.
Alcoholics? Absolutely. It’s a toss-up between teachers, lawyers and nurses for the hardest-drinking group of motherfuckers I’ve ever known.
- Comment on The 42 year old new hire at your job confesses to you that he has had 48 different jobs in his life. What is your opinion on that? 4 weeks ago:
If I’m a coworker in this situation I don’t care. If I’m a manager in this situation I just don’t bother training them on anything but the basics for the job.
- Comment on What Happens When You Plug a SUICIDE CORD in a live outlet? Do Not Try This Ever 1 month ago:
Yeah. ‘Suicide plug’ Is a misnomer. Should be ‘homicide plug.’
The danger isn’t plugging both ends into the same circuit. The danger is when there’s a downed power line, somebody plugs a generator into their outlet to power their own house. The genny backfills the line, so this line that everybody thinks is dead is suddenly live. All of a sudden the poor lineman who is trying to fix it a mile downline gets electrocuted while standing on top of a 30’ ladder.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 4 months ago:
Bikes are popular in Seattle, but I’m not sure I’d call it a bike-friendly city. Tons of rain, tons of hills, tons of bridges, tons of crappy roads. We put bike lanes in a bunch of places, but a lot of them still have to go through confusing intersections or only cover part of your commute. Add on the new trend of no-hands driving, it’s still pretty dangerous.

My coworkers say that I’ve got resting murder face. When I’m just zoning out not paying attention to anything, I apparently look like I’m actively searching for something rusty to stab you with.

Cows have excellent taste in music.

I’ve got thin walls. Watched Dune I at home, had to constantly grab the remote to turn the volume way up/down for the entire run of the movie. Went to see Dune II in Imax and got my face pleasantly blown off by the sound system.
- Comment on I was handed this lovely flyer while grocery shopping 6 months ago:
Yeah, but just based on my own prejudices, the antivax community ain’t a huge fan of the Spanish- speaking community.
- Comment on Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here? 11 months ago:
I’ll always remember a story my buddy told me in high school. His dad was a judge, and absolutely brilliant, and a major alcoholic. One time his dad sat him down and said ‘I think you’ll have a good life. Because you’re smart enough to do well in this world, but not smart enough to realize what a shithole it is.’
I really think that there is a point where if you’re smart enough, you have brain power to really pay attention to everything that goes on in the world. And paying attention to all of that can do serious harm to one’s psyche.

- Comment on In songs sung in English, a word ending with "t" followed by "you" sometimes makes the "you" sound like "chew". Does this happen in other languages with different words/sounds? 1 year ago:
Ha. Thanks. Like I said, my Deutsch is kinda shit.
- Comment on In songs sung in English, a word ending with "t" followed by "you" sometimes makes the "you" sound like "chew". Does this happen in other languages with different words/sounds? 1 year ago:
There are also weird German rules about article endings. A band I like has a song called “Herz Eines Trache” which means Heart of a Dragon. I don’t speak great German, so first time I heard it I wasted an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out what eine Strache is.
