Not enough deciduous trees for that!

Suddenly the Broccoloid episode of The Powerpuff Girls reads as anti-LGBT propaganda

That’s what we call an attention getter!

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.

Thanks, I’ll give this one the chop!

Yep, I remember in one job I was at for 8 years a manager 2 levels up complemented me for sorting out the networking for a re-arrange of our own office … I was gobsmacked because I’d been managing a whole network and server upgrade for a client that involved well over 1000 users at the time yet an hour of fiddling with wires under desks was the only thing that got his attention.

I didn’t have them over a barrel, they were just being lazy and trying to exploit me further for free.

Yeah, I got laid off twice more before switching careers. Both times they wanted me to come back and fix stuff after letting me go.

It goes hand in hand with the “if someone works hard, they should be given more work as a reward” line of thinking.

My first salaried job was also my first proper IT job and I was a “junior technician” … the only other member of IT staff was my supervisor who had been a secretary that got a 1 week sysadmin course and knew very little.

The server room was a complete rat’s nest and I resolved to sort it out. It was all going very well until I tripped over the loose SCSI 3 cable between the AIX server and it’s raid array. While it was in use.

It took me 2 days to restore everything from tape. My supervisor was completely useless.

A few months later I was “made redundant”, leaving behind me everything working perfectly and a super tidy server room. I got calls from the company asking for help for the following 6 months, which I politely declined.

The problem arises when a cartoonist takes on something serious. It puts those two compartments together and rips out your heart, like First Dog on the Moon did today.

If you say so, I watched an early trailer for Death Stranding and haven’t paid it any attention since I’m not keen on games with combat.

It’s fun, you play as a woman who can turn into a bird and have to explore, solve basic puzzles, and there’s a good story. It’s just short and simple.

I’d like to try it, but I don’t have a supported device yet … I’ve played at least one indie game with a similar feel and really enjoyed it, but it was short and simple so I didn’t get lost in the world

I would like something halfway between Snowrunner and European Truck Simulator, with a well written single player RPG story mode where you get to help people by delivering stuff.

Or, something like Breath of the Wild only without fighting.

Or both.

No.

I bought a burger, does that count?

That would be logical. On Liftoff I cannot​ see most domains, or long usernames.

I believe they were referring to sh.itjust.works, an instance with an unfortunate quantity of low quality memes.

This is the logical answer.
