I often forget that while young people aren’t usually too wise to the ways of the world, that doesn’t mean they’re not fucking smart!
Woke to this reading a senior (high school) paper of mine 35-years later. Figured it would be childish. Holy shit! I wrote that at 17?!
Now if I could get the brain plasticity back and tack on the wisdom, I’d be a beast brain. :(
Depends entirely on where you’re at. Our coastal beaches are pure white and sound like popcorn (fish eating) when you’re underwater near coral.
The beaches along the rivers can be brown sand, washed down as you say, but some are pebbles instead. Never understood how two rivers so close together ended up with such different beaches.
Partly! Some women explode out the gate with a little age on them. My ex-gf was pretty in her 30s, but in her late 40s would turn heads when she walked in the room. And then there are the plain Janes in high school that turn out OMFG years later.
Same, but to be clear, we’re talking about panic attacks, right? That is exactly what the meme is talking about, or should be.
OTOH, there are these people: “Gosh! Sometimes I’m nervous in social situations and don’t know how to act! I have an anxiety disorder!”
No you don’t buttercup, you have “being a typical human disorder”. And most likely, no one even notices your discomfort. One time I was on LSD at a party and talking to a guy, freaking out internally. “Man, I’m sorry, but I’m tripping balls right now.” He had no idea!
If I see a comparison matrix, I’m a happy camper. OTOH, you have to be extraordinarily careful with words or lose sales. Because people are stupid.
Case in point; Employee needed a new laptop and we leaned mostly towards Lenovos. Found a sweet deal on one labelled as a gaming rig. Boss wouldn’t sign off because, “A dev doesn’t need a gaming rig with a high-end video card.” Of course not, but still showed him the specs, compared against what we were currently purchasing and paying, no go. We ended up paying more for a laptop with lower specs because it didn’t have a “gaming” label.
What if you call a product line “prosumer”? It may be perfectly acceptable for a small business, but the owner might feel he needs “enterprise”. He looks at the enterprise line, flinches at the price, goes to another brand selling the same damned thing with a label that makes him happy.
Another one I had just posted; Shooting the shit with a customer who was unhappy he couldn’t buy straight grass seed and the label only showed the filler content in small print. What a ripoff! Another customer chimed in that filler is necessary for the seed spreader to work as expected. Oh.
X line prioritizes speed - Nah, not paying extra for speed, don’t need it.
Y line is backwards compatible with legacy gadgets - Sounds like it’ll be outdated soon.
R line is meant for business use - They just slap that on there to sucker people into paying more. (Yes they do!)
F line is experimental form factors - I need a tried and true product, sounds like a clusterfuck.
Having worked in various fields for 40 years, and now at my first retail job, I see that a lot of the fuckery we blame on capitalism is actually sellers trying to navigate ignorant and fickle consumers. Also, sometimes the weird shit we see, or don’t see where we expect it, is due to laws and regulations, but that’s another story.
When dad’s going down on her:
HOLY DIVER!
You’ve been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what’s becomin’ of me
No, no, ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he’s clean
Oh don’t you see what I mean
HOLY DIVER!
Just got home from 8 hours of slinging rock, mulch and dirt, absolutely wasted. Yeah, that got a solid chuckle.
The tick-tock sound annoys the driver. Dated two women in a row who did this and both had “repetitive noise disorder”, misophonia. My wife has a sort of thing like that were she can’t stand the rhythm or noise of the wipers.
I completely made up “repetitive noise disorder” years ago on reddit. Now Google AI returns it as a legit result. Am I famous now?!
Let’s call it an even 200 employees. That amounts to, rounded up, .003% of Meta’s staff of 74,067. Do with that info what you will
Sinners has black characters?! FFS, it’s set in 1930s Mississippi, there weren’t, and still aren’t, any black people there!
You’re probably thinking of apostasy. You can be any religion, but if you’re Islamic and renounce it, capital offense.
Meh. I turn it, pirate. Turn of off when I’m done. No issues unless I fuck up and leave the torrent running for 24-hours.
Is spinning up your own out of the question? I pay $6/mo. for a Digital Ocean droplet. Installed OpenVPN server on it and I’ve been good to go for years. Their step-by-step documentation is the best I’ve ever encountered, seriously. Only got hung up on one tiny bit.
Got that impression. She was definitely foreign, but I did hear enough to make a call. Also, I could not begin to guess her heritage by her looks.
It’s a serious term in IT! One of those things that’s recognized as an issue, and then blown off IRL.
Think of paying down a monster credit card bill while living like a monk. Only same thing to do, but it hurts in the short and midterm. Long term, you gonna pay far more.
Bet something’s broken in IT. Some system can’t talk to some other system. In any case, something stupid is broken in logistics. A desk jockey decided return labels were cheaper than implementing the solution, and that might well be true!
Making shit up: The frontend can’t talk to the backend without an expensive, highly specialized addon, which is a monthly subscription, which has to be applied to 1,000 machines. They could unwrap all that and simplify, but now we’re talking a massive overhaul that drags in 14 other systems, costs 10,000 man hours and had some inevitable downtown.
“Fuck it! We’re sending return labels!”
And this kids is why tech debt comes with usurious interest rates!
I was noticing him slowly dial back the makeup and fake colored hair late in his last admin. Somehow… the makeup returned. (with a vengeance)
Keep saying this, and no one has ever had a plausible answer: YouTube does not do that to me.
I watch lots of gun content, you would think I’d be overrun with right-wing horseshit, but that never happens. I get sane channels, apolitical, learning, legal and fun related stuff, like I like.
Here’s my front page this evening. All interesting except maybe some TV shows I’m not familiar with but have watched clips. Don’t think I’ve done much of anything to curate all that, just let YouTube decide.
The only time I remember the algorithm going nuts was after looking at survival gear and gas masks. LOL, quickly run down with crazier and edgier content. That could have been a rabbit hole, had to cut myself off before it got worse.
Maybe it has to do with my subscriptions?
The seam side goes down. The enemy’s gate is always down. You’re welcome.
