I never thought about this being caused by ads, but, maybe.

It goes beyond reading too. When I worked retail, we had a saying, “when you can’t find something, it’s right in front of you.” We would just look over the item we were searching for because we were looking everywhere but directly in front of us

Say what you will, but those ads are the reason I’ll never forget Aaron Burr.

I clicked it, so you don’t have to:

After testing random people with various computer programs that asked them to rotate objects, they found that some people were able to complete the tasks with inverted or non inverted controls, despite the fact that they had claimed to prefer the opposite. The researchers claim that some people’s brains are just wired to perform better one way or the other despite how they originally learned.

We couldn’t have those here in the States. There wouldn’t be any time left for the content.

The movie.

The hope is that eventually they’ll say “ok, THIS is not acceptable” but they just keep accepting it. It’s probably futile, but the options are keep trying, or become a fascist, so I’m going to keep trying.

I don’t have any reason to think they were.

From what I’ve read so far, I really don’t think Tyler was political at all. Everyone’s trying to say he belongs to the other team, but I think he made friends with a trans person and didn’t like what Kirk was saying about them.

The calls are good. You want those.

I get calls from different depts, and I quickly fix their issues, and as opposed to someone who only interacted with their own dept, I’ve got people all over the organization thinking “Yeah, I know rhynoplaz, he’s really friendly and helpful!”

‘Talking with partners who do not share our democratic values does not mean abandoning them’

Yeah, and I only allow peeing in one corner of the pool.

One dog, two scoops of ice cream and a splash of milk.

Yes, but they start coming in about 30 years earlier.

Oh fuck yeah. That’s what I’m talking about!

Aww man. You can’t just promise me pizza and not deliver!

I’m surprised. I would have guessed that music would be one field that the suits wouldn’t pay too much attention as long as it didn’t sound like garbage at the end of the day.

#1 mobile data only. No wifi.

It blows my mind that anyone would connect a personal device to their employer’s Wifi.

Keep an unfinished task on hand that you can pick up at a seconds notice.

Wait. Are you telling me that it’s not normal to constantly have 5 unfinished tasks at any given time?

Make yourself irreplaceable. That’s what I did.

I’m working on that now. When I started, they made me one of five admins on their scheduling software. The other four have since left the organization, and I’m not going out of my way to teach the users any more than they absolutely need. 😂

Every adult I’ve known to be homeschooled is weird as hell.

Don’t get me wrong, I personally love weird people, but I was usually their only friend, because our coworkers would just avoid anyone who didn’t fit in with the norm.

I’m not advocating that everyone conform to the norm and change who they are, but if you don’t know how to blend in when needed, you’re going to have a rough time.

I’ve only bought cheap TVs, because that’s what was available to me.

A year or so ago I got a big Samsung at an estate auction. It’s older than all my other TVs, but much better than all of them.

There may be higher quality or better value brands, but I can confirm that Samsung makes a nice TV.

I remember that day. It was over the summer of 2022 and just seemed to happen overnight.

Personally, I think it looks good on you. Oh, and would you mind turning your couch back the way it used to be? It kind of blocks the view of the hall now.
