He’s [Elon] not the Messiah. He’s a very naughty boy!

🎶The legend lives on from the children on down of a candy bar they call a Snickers. The neighbors, it’s said, never give out good treats when the nights of October turn spooky.🎶

I think some ENT’s like to downplay the severity. I was told “we’ll do it on Friday and you’ll be back to work on Monday” which was completely unrealistic.

Recovery time is more like 7-10 days.

That’s how you know it’s really bad.

They didn’t put you under for that?? God Almighty. My septiplasty was brutal but successful so it was worth it for me. At least they had the decency to knock me out for it.

Mine don’t make me feel happy. They just make me feel not depressed and kind of “blah”.

It’s not great but it’s better than feeling depressed all the time.

She tried but was thwarted by her incompetent henchmen.

Lol I know. Years ago when TBS aired the movie, they changed the phrase to “Yippee Ki-Yay Mister Falcon.”

I still think is hilariously dumb.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is the best film version of A Christmas Carol hands down.

Mister Falcon

Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup.

It’s pretty hard to find a kid that doesn’t have Snapchat anymore. Basically being trained to hand over all their personal info to random strangers as soon as they’re able to hold a cell phone.

And of course they hide the read messages for the end user to provide the illusion that it’s “deleted” which I have to admit is brilliant. Extremely unethical but brilliant.

I wouldn’t say social media is inherently bad. Engagement driven social media is bad. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much all mainstream social media anymore.

Facebook wasn’t terrible before they shifted their algorithm to drive engagement; and by extension, conflict. It turned to shit really quick after that.

“A rising tide lifts all ships.” That’s not strictly a progressive philosophy. More a philosophy held by people who aren’t idiots.

Currently working on a networking problem. I have multiple Proton VPN connections on my Mikrotik router. Main reason being for fail over in case one endpoint reaches capacity, goes unresponsive, etc.

It’s a bit tricky since Proton issues the same peer and gateway IP for each connection. Haven’t quite got it working the way I want it to yet.

Dating my now wife. The company refused to admit that was the reason. My bosses boss, who called to notify me of my termination while I was home sick, gave me some weird spiel about me “overstepping my authority” and refused to elaborate further. But I’m 99% sure that was why even though we violated no official company policies, because my [now] wife was fired on the same day. They took a really dim (albeit unwritten) view of dating between employees. Even ones that worked in different departments, at different offices.

Ironically, VP’s banging their secretaries on the side, with everyone knowing, was apparently fine.

Didn’t really matter. They kept telling me to do things that I considered unethical and I kept telling them “no” so it wasn’t going to last. They lost a good employee. I got a good wife. As far as I’m concerned, I came out on top.

One of the best things about maturing – which often comes with but is not guaranteed by age – is learning to be comfortable with yourself. Teenagers tend to spend a lot of their emotional energy clamoring for approval from peers, not yet aware that it’s really their own approval they need.

This unfulfilled need can lead teens to do or say all kinds of silly or even hurtful things. Some teens grow into adults without ever learning how to love themselves. I don’t think that’s the case for most people. Just a small minority but you may encounter them in the workplace from time to time.

It’s also worth noting that psychologists believe around 10% of the population suffers from some type of personality disorder, most of them undiagnosed. I’m reasonably certain that I’ve encountered at least a few of these people in my career.

Well unfortunately the President of the United States is bad at business and the Republicans are …Republicans. The only thing that matters to either are rich people.

“Attention KMart Shoppers!”

“Partnered” is such a bizarre word to use to mean, “I read a recipe”. Even if that recipe was regurgitated in the most inefficient way possible.

Imagine people in the past saying shit like, “I wanted to bake a pie so I partnered with Betty Crocker.”

Oh really Brenda? You “partnered” with Betty Crocker? And what exactly did Betty do to help? Oh. That’s right. Nothing. Because she’s not an actual person, just a branded cookbook. Maybe make sure more of the rum makes it in the pie next time.
