Diagnosing people you’ve never met is generally a bad idea.

They review hundred of hours of hidden toilet cam footage. How else would you investigate?

I think a better way to phrase that might be: I’m not going to trust a cocaine addict who tells me that cocaine is a safe and healthy alternative to my morning cup of coffee. I would like to see those findings peer reviewed and replicated by people that don’t have a vested interest in making access to cocaine easier.

I don’t say the wage slave part outright like that. I say the part about retiring with a smile like I’m joking but then use the opportunity to point out that I think about and plan for the future and that I’m financially responsible. Then I ask about the company’s benefits package.

Covid made thing weird for a while but my career has had a generally upward trend. My current job is a pretty serious step up for me in both salary and benefits and has a pretty clear path for future progression. I lost out on some of the creativity that I enjoyed in prior positions but I gained more free time to engage with my hobbies.

I’d say it’s been working for me but your mileage may vary based on your delivery and what kind of job you’re interviewing for.

For the last 10 years when I’ve been asked about my career goals during job interviews I always respond, “I would like to retire.” I then clarify that I don’t mean tomorrow, next year, or even 5 years down the road. I just don’t want to die a wage slave.

Shit… is this evidence that he’s the lesser of two evils? I don’t know if I can handle that thought.

How would murdering a modern Scottish rock band stop the world wars?

I don’t think you should be applying that rule to sex.

Shit like this is not conducive to changing anyone’s viewpoint and just makes you sound like an asshole

I’m not afraid of tap water but, in the city I live in, it tastes like pool water and I find that highly unpleasant.

It’s pretty simple: Arby’s is gross.

It’s a 7 leaf clover and the really heart wrenching episode is Jurassic Bark.

I wish this was true. I’d use this to prevent her from ever voting in Congress again with the added bonus of getting a bunch of hand jobs.

Except it wasn’t a Mario franchise game. It was a tech demo of a “Mario-style” game featuring vertical scrolling.

And my video game history teacher also worked for Nintendo in the 80s. I also had a teacher who worked on the original Tetris. I believe them over a random stranger on the internet.

Your link agrees with me. It started as a "Mario-style tech demo not a Mario franchise game.

You’re correct. I’ve never heard this anywhere else and I literally took video game history classes at a college that is partnered with Nintendo of America.

Wouldn’t the friction from half of the moon entering the atmosphere generate enough heat to set most of the east coast on fire? I remember one of my teachers telling me it would but it definitely wouldn’t be the first time one of my teachers was wrong.
