My state surprised me during covid.

It’s not surprising me now…

And what about very old fiends?

Well I know who I think I am.

In a similar vein, by one of my favorite music-ish channel:

You’re still more patient Than I.

It’s great that they’re rational enough to change their views in the face of evidence, even if it takes more evidence than it usual.

bit my tongue to not torpedo our relationship

I’m so glad my wife is basically no contact with her parents, because I never have to play nice with them.

“EU considers following modern Nazi policy”

If I give France $1,000,000,000 to use a specific shade of color, but make the color on Brazilian machinery owned by Brazilians… I’ve still given France $1B. Have I not?

Oh, it’s definitely a thing. Especially with Lower Decks being animated, and therefore easily replicated in style.

… Not that I’d know anything about such things.

Infinite realities means infinite possibilities, so somewhere in the multiverse there’s a starfleet absolutely filled with cock monsters.

The question is, do they seek out new life for exploration?

Or is it for cocks…

I guess Google just says “fuck 'em”?

Yes, 100%, absokutely correct.

Google is a company.

Companies do not care about you. You are not a person, you are a number.

My favorite experience with this was when I worked at a sporting goods store, we had a district wide meeting an hour away at 7am, planned in under 24 hours which changed everyone’s weekend plans, and it was mandatory.

The district manager comes out and does this, but to only a handful of good mornings, and the second time was met with dead silence.

He awkwardly tried to use our lack of enthusiasm as an example of “employee bases theft from the company” because if we aren’t faking being super happy and perky the second we’re at work, the company loses sales.

They handed out some shopping bags with some kind of peach smelling candy and some hand sanitizer. When the meeting was over, I didn’t see a single person take the bag with them, and everyone basically sprinted to their cars in under a minute.

Productivity was just a word the next morning. It took two days to unload a truck that normally gets done in 6-8 hours.

I don’t think anyone organized some kind of slow down and forgot to tell me, I think we just all felt the same way “fuck this place, I work hard and they call it lazy so let’s see how they like it when I AM lazy”

I used to think my own sight was bad enough. I get little tiny Starbursts around lights. And I mean tiny. This dot - • - would look like the same dot with a / plastered on top.

Finding out the OP picture is how my wife sees the world at night was a little mind blowing. I knew it could get bad, but damn.

“930”

We have differing opinions on “reasonable”

Well you’re definitely not going to get there if you spend all day explaining infinity to people.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.

… Well, better get to walking.

“yeah this time it wasn’t a gun, but the kid is black for Christ’s sake, what did you expect us to do? So obviously its functioning as intended.”

I swear I read this exact comment about the UK after brexit…

Good call.

You can’t go out shooting while you’re drinking. You should be able to smoke whenever you want as long as you’re not inebriated when you’re shooting.

Fully agree, and have alienated myself from former friends over this.

You can drink all day and night. but don’t you dare touch a firearm while drinking. I don’t care if you’re just a little buzzed, man

As far as I’m concerned, smoke weed every day. But don’t you dare touch a firearm while high. I don’t care if you’re just a little toasty, man

Drugs and guns don’t mix. Alcohol is a drug. Don’t drink and shoot.
