The reality is people get laid off or fired for all sorts of reasons. This is the IT equivalent of setting fire to the equipment that you used to build something and the production prototype and walking out the door thinking you can just just leave and get away with it.
In this guy’s fantasy he would be doing 10 to 20 years of prison time if he gets caught and charged with both state and federal crimes. And let’s be real, he’ll definitely get caught.

Sorry man, this isn’t burning Bridges to the guy is talking about, this is ending up in jail. If you want to burn Bridges, yell and scream on your way out the door and say “fuck you everyone!”. What this guy is fantasizing about doing is 10+ years in prison and both state and federal felony charges. “Burning bridges” would not really be his primary concern.

It could be that, or it could also be a way for someone to say they approve of your relationship without being so tacky as to say they approve of your relationship.
It can also be a way of saying that you’re hitting above your weight class, that you’re out of your league, And they didn’t really expect that you’d find someone as amazing as your girlfriend.
But in reality, yeah, it probably means that they’re attracted to her. But attraction occurs on many different levels and physical intimacy is just one.

I hear you but I can’t relate to you. It says no one in the show. I actually like I don’t want to watch it. I’ve yet to find a show or book or anything where that’s not true. I don’t have to like the person in their entirety, but if there aren’t at least some aspects of them that I enjoy then fuck them. I’ll go spend my time doing something else.

I honestly can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but I kind of agree with those statements. I just couldn’t get into breaking bad or better call. Saul and I gave each of them a number of episodes to get there. I think it doesn’t help but I don’t like the characters and that makes me not want to hang around and see what happens.

My wife’s 4’9" and I’m 6 ft and this is never the view I see. That Delta height is exactly the same as what the op height differences is. If I’m looking down and she’s looking up our faces are only about a foot apart. Op’s picture makes it look like it’s 2 ft or more.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 3 months ago:
Older people have a much harder time taking on and off shoes so it makes more sense that they leave them on all the time. The same is true for overweight people. (Although I would have thought the old people definition would be >60 not >40)
- Comment on But think of the landlords! 4 months ago:
Why is this right wing or left wing housing?
I guess you can maybe make an argument that this is centralized planning, trying to make the best use of the land available and that right-wing would be pure chaos where the market decides what’s going on. On so you’d have sprawl next to Mansions next to slums, next to McDonald’s, and no parks, and every single tiny piece of land has a building on it, and it all must be fully utilized trying make money in some capitalism way?
Honestly, it doesn’t seem the worst way to do it from a housing density standpoint. Yes, we all want the standalone suburb house or some spot in the countryside, but that’s not the world we live in. For high density housing, this doesn’t seem that bad. Each building has a balcony and overlooks a park and has fresh air and sunshine… How do you do this better?
or is it about equality? Every unit here is equal and therefore bad? That seems a positive in my eyes. Is that really the difference here? There aren’t the ultra poor and the mega rich all mixed in together… Where the poor are in slums and the Richer mansions, is that right wing architecture?
What’s the best way to build high density housing? Tall buildings surrounded by Parks seems to be the most optimal way, right? What am I missing here? The buildings aren’t pretty enough?

“Lost in the sauce” is an old phrase, at least as long as I’ve been alive, where “sauce” is alcohol.

No, in California. Like just people here, I would have been very pissed off if they put drm on my filter.

Weird, I bought a high end GE fridge 2 years ago and it doesn’t require drm on the water filter.

Yeah, you got me. I’m not sure if this was a voice to text error or just me being stupid, but it was probably just me being stupid.
- Comment on Anon makes friends at the kinoplex 1 year ago:
There are two types of movie going experiences. One where you want the audience to be perfectly quiet and just get absorbed into the movie experience… And the other where audience participation is a big part of the thrill. If you go to an opening night showing, it’s typically the ladder, especially for Blockbuster or cult favorite. Both types of experiences are good, but some of my most memorable movie experiences were loud cheering for the hero, people making comments, audience participation showings.

100%. This is the true “voter fraud” if there is any. Voting for parents, voting for significant others, voting for kids, but doing so on a mail in ballot and usually with their approval.
(I have to admit that I do this with my wife. She says “just fill it out and I’ll sign and turn it in”, so I do. But this could easily be done with coercion also.)

I hope this is satire. If it’s real I feel sorry for the guy. To be sold a vision of what’s cool and to spend a ton of money on it, and then to be made fun of is quite painful. I can understand that and have empathy for the guy, even if Musk is a piece of dog shit and I’m rooting for Tesla to crash and burn.

It’s crazy how few times in an average man’s life he gets real compliments on clothing or looks. It happens so rarely most of us can tell you about the times even when they’re 20 years ago.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 1 year ago:
So… Over the phone doesn’t count? Texting doesn’t count? Email? Those don’t count? I would think that in this day and age texting would be the normal way to ask a girl out for a first date.
You know it’s REALLY hard for someone not super social to ask a girl out in person. I’m 50 and i think I’ve never asked a girl out for a first date in person… But then again, I am an introverted nerd so that’s probably to be expected. Hell, I asked the girl I ended up marrying out over email…

You’re right, it isn’t. It’s just already been enshrined into law so they keep using them.

Keep in mind the source of this story. The author has every reason to describe the stuff on their group chat sound tame, so if it sounds bad, it’s probably 3 times worse than that.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 1 year ago:
Because, in reality, peaceful protests don’t work. We’ve been taught that they do, but they don’t.
The most successful protest going on right now is against Tesla. A bit of anonymous property destruction and a boycott, crashing the stock price, those things actually work. Getting together and holding signs doesn’t actually do anything, especially in some place like California.

It’s right out of Trump’s playbook. You do something outrageous and evil, with just a smidgen of deniability… it gets them attention. That’s what they crave, to lead the news cycle, to be hated by the left but maintain enough deniability that the center and right will still be on your side. This is Trump 101.
- Comment on Iraq War was preceded by the largest worldwide non-violent protests in history and the war happened anyway. 1 year ago:
A protest has to have teeth. If the teeth are economic, then that’s ok. If the protest is violence, then that can be ok. Martin Luther King was helped by the threat of violence of Malcom X.
Protests do nothing if they can be ignored. If they can be ignored, they WILL be ignored.

The snap was always the dumbest part of the entire avenger series. Let’s say for example, you have a bunch of deer that are eating the forest bare, so you let hunters kill half of them… Then what happens next? You have the exact same problem in a few years. The snap solves nothing.
Also if you can snap your fingers and do this, why can’t you snap your fingers and make twice the food supply?
The snap is just stupid, even in a world made-up physics-defying superheroes.

If you made it, you’re welcome to do that if you want. If someone else made it then you’re an asshole of assholes and this is grounds for execution or exile to the farthest reaches of the globe.
