Cool, I have workplace stress and complete fatigue from sitting in an office dealing with bullshit all day and I don’t get paid millions fucking around on YouTube and tiktok. You can’t pause any job. Stfu

Oh damn, looks like it’s time to update my adblocker again.

When I was a middle manager I handled most of the communication with my team via teams or email. We had a 1 on 1 every other week and I was available otherwise if a meeting was necessary but otherwise all I needed was quick updates on where they were at with various projects we had going on. My boss on the other hand was constantly pulling me into shit I didn’t need to be involved in. I had reporting available at hand I could have sent them whenever they needed it but they didn’t know what to do with themselves if their schedule wasn’t full.

I still remember my teacher bitching me out in front of the class when we were learning negative numbers because when he asked me how I figured out the correct answer I said that the positive numbers and negatives cancelled each other out. Like -4 and positive 5, the negative 4 cancels out 4 on the positive side and you are left with 1. Maybe that wasn’t the correct verbiage but it gave me the correct answer every time. He was a dick about correcting me though.

The one I go to does this. One line and they call out which lane is opening next for you to go to. The long line is arranged perpendicular to the registers and It really doesn’t seem to take up that much more space compared to stores that don’t do that.

Like, really, what should our incel friend do with their time?

Can’t speak for every incel friend but the one in our group needs to be working on regulating his emotions and not spending so much time on incel forums. Getting comfortable with himself and the fact that not every woman who is nice to him is going to be interested him romantically. He’s in his 30s and still acts like a fucking teenager when he gets rejected. At least 3 of us at different points in time have had to pull him aside and have a talk to him about how his behavior is making the women in our group uncomfortable and explain that if he doesn’t get that shit under control he’s not going to get invited out anymore. Even when he does take up a hobby or work on himself he talks about it like he’s checking off a box so that he can finally deserve to get laid. Then, when that doesn’t work out for him because he reeks of desperation when he interacts with women, he goes back to his bad habits.

Yeah obviously this is terrible and shouldn’t happen but if I’d have been having sex with a hot older woman when I was a teenager that would have taken care of basically all the self esteem problems I had. It might opened me up to whole new problems, I’m not a psychologist so I can’t speak to that, but seeing myself as unfuckable was for sure the biggest issue at the time. I know because my self esteem did a 180 as soon as I started getting laid (with someone age appropriate). I can certainly see where the “nice” comments come from.

Last time I did install work we used double sided Velcro for cable management. I snagged a roll and made a jig to split it in half with a box knife to get twice as much and I’ve still got a ton left over a decade later. It’s really handy stuff to have around and better than zip ties in most applications I use it for.

I wouldn’t use AI but I certainly don’t have anyone to open up to really. Either they’d use what I tell them against me or just aren’t in a position to offer any real support. With my luck I’d end up institutionalized for saying some unhinged shit anyway.

What free healthcare?

I always assumed the “can’t find the clitoris” jokes we’re based in men ignoring the clitoris. Not that they literally could not find it. It’s like right there.

Growing up I wanted to be a mechanic. After I went to tech school and got into the field I learned how much of it was pushing shit on people even when it can wait or they can’t afford it. I got bitched at by my boss for trying to help someone prioritize what they actually needed vs “recommended services” on more than one occasion. I tried switching shops a few times but it was always the same thing so I completely lost my passion for it. I just work on my own car now.

Mines an automatic. No electricity required.

yea i use discord for getting stuff from my phone to my PC. I keep all my notes in obisidan but I could never get it to sync right and it has since stopped working on my phone altogether.

Better than whatever brains of garbage would come up of it was just giving you a default based off what’s popular.

Gonna have to wait a bit for those bitcoins.

At least I can still pay with the money I keep in my underpants.

I wrote a powershell script to rename and reorder about 1000 comic books based off a reading order I put in a csv file once

Yea, theres a big overgrown patch behind the house and we have them all over. It’s nice to see. I like to sit out and watch them while the sun goes down. It’s relaxing. Theres a bunch of other critters that come out around that time to so it’s interesting. I watched a couple of raccoons take apart my neighbors bird feeder last night.

Another bug I haven’t seen in forever is grasshoppers. I used to catch buckets of those things when I was a kid and I don’t think I’ve seen more than a couple in years.

It’s as likely as the dems accomplishing anything.
