I’ve got the opposite impression from the Democratic Party; ever since 2016 the only thing they seem to be capable of telling the American people is “at least we’re not as bad as The Other Guy!”

Ryan George too, he’s very clear in his VPN ad reads that he uses them to access streaming that isn’t available to him in outer space (his shtick is that he’s an ADstronaut).

In my experience they want the field to be mandatory but don’t want anything preventing them from skipping it if they’ve personally decided to skip it, “just this once.”

They should have thought of that before hiring Will Ferrell to be a clown in a commercial for them.

There are dozens of us them (I assume)!

They just sell the data. If they need user data (beyond basics) they might buy it from a data mining company.

My pockets’ capacity is determined by the thickness of what I’m shoving in there, not the height. A folding phone is the worst possible thing as it doubles the thickness at the expense of height.

The Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012. Really, it was the end of the expected simulation that we’re all living in. Now that we’re past that year, stacks are overflowing and the simulation is encountering unexpected results outside the boundaries of the programmers’ intents. That’s why everything is fucked.

Scheduling meetings is easy. Don’t do it. Send an email.

“But what about when…” No. Email over meetings. You’re not special, your job isn’t special, your company isn’t special, your perceived needs aren’t special. Send an email. If that isn’t enough, send another email. If you get the urge to “give them a quick call”, firmly grasp your phone and hurtle it out the highest window or rooftop you have access to. Then send another email.

I think they do actually want to cut the high skilled talent. High skill means high pay, and now that they’ve achieved market dominance in pretty much every industry they’ve stuck their penis into they don’t need talent. Lower skilled, and therefore lower paid, employees can do just good enough to keep everything from burning down just long enough for the C-suite to get their bonuses and cash out. After that, who cares, they’re on to their next grift.

You could also think this applies to all corporations in some degree. But no, there’s a fresh batch of bright eyed optimistic people out of school people desperate to not be homeless or starve every year.

Fast forward 6 months and every user of After will only ever select “Vibes didn’t match” or the first option they can click the fastest.

I dream of the day I can get my own brain to actually create normal levels of dopamine that I don’t get addicted, then tolerant, to.

And on that third day, he releases all the 3 games that they’ve been withholding. He will be risen, Gaben.

The Engineer has 12 PhDs, he’d develop a Dispensah to feed grapes.

Now the Soldier, on the other hand…

The only automatic thing I want in any car is the transmission. Automatic lights have resulted in morons driving without their taillights on.

Whether it’s cars or computers, when things get made “easier” they just let people be dumber.

It actually (eventually) did work for me when a dealer sold me a car with a blown engine. Had to threaten legal action, but it started with a phone call, then a march to the office.

Good riddance, we don’t want to listen to you change your mind 14 times, ask what the ingredients are in every dish, and then wait for you to act incredulous that you do indeed actually have to pay for the order before it will be placed.

As if anyone born after 1980 answers their front door.

If you’re defining long-term as 4-8 years, sure. If your idea of long-term is defined in decades, are you aware the planet is on fire?
