Corporate media will be ever more obsequious to get access. Military presence for “safety” in certain cities labeled “dangerous” which all happen to be progressive. Then the self-censorship starts. Then people stop being able speak freely, let alone thinking a rule of law exists. Then it’s “underground” to have an honest conversation about politics. We’ll be in Putin’s Russia level of legal system and political speech within a few years.

Making friends mostly at work anywhere causes issues of selection bias, but it doesn’t matter if it’s work, school, church, your local pub, whatever. Balance in most things, as usual.

“Two small pair…8s and 8s” is still a staple at family card games.

😂 that’s great

I’m in HR and think about this a lot; it’s (mostly) a marker of poorly run companies when they say experience in software X is required. Mostly these orgs are using one of several software solutions and by saying a candidate must have experience in a specific software means the company is brittle; can’t train, wants to hire non-thinkers and learners, and also likely isn’t looking ahead at what will change in the future.

Software change will only accelerate likely, so hire learners.

Haven’t heard “gay” as a pejorative in real life since high school in the late 90s.

Lol legally mandated vacation? Try living in America

Ah, my bad, that would have been a better community. TBF I was pondering this in the shower.

Tim walz–level confession

I would hope aliens, being intelligent, would communicate with other humans before they get to government representatives. We’d probably never hear from them again.

Envious!

Does it have a “day off” feature? Nothing speaks to how horrific US culture is fed by these giant companies that neither apple nor Google has the common sense “I’m off tomorrow, don’t do my regular schedule alarm”. Instead you have to disable and then set a reminder to turn your alarms back on, which stresses me out about forgetting.

Seriously man, it’s a good price, and I have a plan setup with Affirm for payments, you can spread it out over at least a year.

“You better hope I can’t get no bullets on layaway…”

Machinarium

It’s not a bribe. It’s a gratuity paid after the service is provided when the electee or appointee leaves office, which is totally palatable and sustainable in a failed democracy.

You nailed Ketchup.

Also, mayonnaise is fucking disgusting. I worked at subway in high school and we had to install wide-nozzle tubes on our mayo dispensers because the morbidly obese customers would say things like “I don’t want to be able to see the sandwich, just bury it in mayo” and it would hold up the sandwich line.

Let’s get down to it: top 3 hot sauces? I go Valentinas, green Tabasco, sriracha. Honorable mention, gochujang, tapatio

The sky, mostly open and noiseless, without drones.

Sounds like some future GOP presidential candidate material if convicted!
