Soul crushing. I’m incredibly good at the job but every morning, I look at my case queue and the shotgun on my shelf starts glowing purple.

I wouldn’t have been good at any other career, but maybe I could have been happy while floundering.

Ah, good spotting! You only really see the outfit for 4 frames. What a shame.

That’s a really cute outfit. I wish they’d drawn the whole thing.

This fucking rules.

The Karen I grew up around nails the “karen” archetype so perfectly that when people started using the name like that, I immediately understood what they were referring to. It was uncanny.

These years later, even my boomer family all know the reference and agree, regularly point it out to our Karen.

Bring back Strong Zero! Yes, I know they still make them and you can still find them. But they aren’t as convenient anymore. And who knows how long they will last now. I’m sad.

I got to make regular jokes about “being the new guy” and subtly shoot shade at the management team any chance I get.

I was in a very, very rough spot. Was mostly worth taking the offer. It sure beat wasting 13 years of obscure product knowledge at some new job for the less pay others were offering.

Rehired with all my previous tenure benefits with the added raise they would have given me had I been around when they gave out raises.

I was really confident. Then I lost a job to AI. Then they hired me back a few months later after realizing that replacing half the support team with an AI was not working out.

Big Money Salvia on Internet Comment Etiquette makes full on short films for his ad reads. They are pretty great.

I recently visited an IKEA in Japan. They write it as 「ブローハイ」

How convenient; you won’t be learning science! You’ll be learning history!

I feel like this should be required watching for anyone who wants to better understand colliders and the politics around them. BobbyBroccoli made this series on the development of some of them.

Tasty nitrogen.

Reading so many stories like this through my life, and now all this on top of that, is relying on the lived experience of transfems to make absolutely sure I never bother with it. I would love nothing more but I’ve already got too much to worry about. I don’t need all this, too. I wouldn’t survive it.

It’s Yoshi. The “T” stands for “Tax Fraud.”

At least somebody is.

White vinegar, run them again. All good.

Sounds like he’s starting to get impatient waiting for his god.
