The way they let their god get away with everything is why they let their politicians get away with everything, and why they will continue to vote them in, despite those politicians’ track records of enriching themselves and leaving their constituents out to dry.

She told me she didn’t want to hire me but was outvoted. That she really stuck her neck out for me by even letting me come on.

She never trained me to do my job. Just handed me the manuals, told me to read them, then expected near perfection. Never provided any real guidance. Never actually assigned more than a couple tasks to me, then nagged me because I wasn’t doing enough. She made me feel singled out. Like nobody else in the office liked me either.

My dog died in March of '19. I barely got any empathy from her. I turned in my two weeks in early May. I was one more write up from being fired anyway. When I handed her my resignation letter, she looked at me and said, “Are you sure?” I meant to say, “Are you fucking really asking me that?” Instead, I just coldly said, “Yes.” Turned my back, and walked out of her office. I kept my head down for the next couple weeks, collected my last paycheck, and rapid fired applications for the next few months.

Fuck you Sarah. I hope you lose your car keys just badly enough that your morning takes an extra fifteen minutes every day for the rest of your life.

Look, it’s not “all you can eat.” It’s "all you can eat."

“You” is not the subject noun, it’s “all.” You refers to the group of people. The buffet is open to the public, and any paying member of the public may eat. Your honor, the phrase has been misinterpreted all along. It was never about allowing any one person to eat until they no longer can, but about allowing any paying customer to eat the food offered at the buffet.

I rest my case.

At what point is a van so big that it’s a bus?

Whoa, that’s a double nostalgia, all the way. Oh my god, whooo!!

Thank you! :)

My doctor even asked what my secret was. I said I cut down on the boredom eating. Now I just boredom “tend to shit around the house.” Seriously, I might clean or cut the lawn wrench on the cars to kill time. It feels good to get moving again.

I have the opposite problem. I think about food nearly all the time. It’s what got me up to 295 lbs.

I’m down to 260 today. Still got a long way to go, but I’m getting there. Getting medicated makes me feel so much more in control of my impulses. One of them being the impulse to eat all the time. Now, I don’t feel hungry nearly as often, and if I think about food, I consider whether I feel hungry, and if I don’t, I don’t eat.

“Han! The odds of avoiding bankruptcy are 4:1!”

“Never tell me the o-oh. Actually, that’s not bad. Yeah, no, let’s keep going.”

“What’s wrong, Doc?”

“Here’s your problem. She doesn’t have any toppings. No relish. No chili. Nothing. It’s no surprise she didn’t last a minute in Flavortown.”

“Damn it! I’ve been a fool!”

Once all of the fuller bottles are depleted, we’re gonna see some exponential growth in the bottle population.

If I don’t have a long enough stretch of time to do it all at once, I ain’t starting it.

But seriously, getting medicated has done wonders for being able to start multi-day projects. I’m learning VBA right now because I want to automate some of my processes at work. I’m finally cool with starting something I can’t finish today. Generally, I want my code to do some fairly specific and complex things. So I’m happy to spend a few hours tweaking a block to make it do exactly what I want, and it feels so good when it works as expected. But before getting on meds? Nah, I wouldn’t even entertain the idea because I wouldn’t know where to start. Medicine helps me draw up an outline of what I want to do with my code, then achieve those tasks bit by bit.

And that’s applied across everything I do. It’s okay to not finish today. But it’s important to start.

Wait until you try bacon grease. Y’all are in for a real treat.

Public transit really brings together all kinds of people. It breaks down barriers and allows people from a variety of backgrounds to mingle.

This is the kind of community unity every place needs. ♥️

The Shawshank Redemption - Clancy Brown

When my wife saw that movie for the first time and hollered out, “That’s Clancy Brown!!” I then knew why his voice was so familiar to me.

So now I’m imagining Mr. Krabs absolutely fed up with and not taking shit from any of these Muppets.

So either that or Airplane! and keep Leslie Nielsen

I use Debian. Does this mean I’m in the top 0.05% of Steam users?

I can put my life in danger. I can put your life in danger. But I draw the line when you put my life in danger.

But if there’s lots of DnD in Hell, sign me the fuck up.

Still got my PS3. What a great console. Uncharted just has no business looking as good as it does running on hardware as old as the PS3 and being nearly twenty years old.

They do, in fact, have wheels.
