“If God dwells inside us, like some people say, I sure hope he likes enchiladas, because that’s what he’s getting.”

I was a consultant for most of my career until recently where I switched to a salary employee.

This is seriously insane to me. I start getting paid as soon as my ass hits my chair. And when I was working in an office, it was as soon as my foot went in the door.

I can’t imagine interacting with the public on behalf of a company without being paid for it. Wtf.

Godspeed

The Lemmy no poop challenge memes were when I realized this was where I belonged.

Orson Scott Card actually weighed in on a simple way to determine if something is fantasy or sci-fi since he writes both:

The difference between science fiction and fantasy…is simply this, science fiction has rivets, fantasy has trees.

Colorado and California have laws that say you have to list salaries on job postings. As a result, many job posting say “not eligible for residents of Colorado or California” on them, even when the posting is specifically looking for people from those states l.

I’m wondering if this new law has that loophole where companies can just say “hey, we told people from California that our service wasn’t for them. It’s not our fault that they still signed up for it.”

I’m with you in this one (so expecting downvotes). I’ve got 5 people in my house that all watch a shit load of YouTube. Originally I used Vanced on my phone, but realized that my kids were watching YouTube on the TVs and on their personal devices. At one point, I went into my daughter’s room at night and saw there were ads playing on her device where she had fallen asleep watching YouTube.

So once Vanced shut down (I know there is ReVanced and other alternatives) I decided to start paying for YouTube Premium. The reality is, being a tech nerd is fine for me, but it wasn’t easy to scale up and protect my entire family from ads on all their devices. So I figured that a few bucks a month was worth it for me.

I have not, but I can’t remember the last time I was in a KFC. Is it any good?

I’d really like that Lovense machine to boof my clacker

I’m a native English speaker and I still had to Google three words in that sentence.

Get a practice lock that you can re-pin. They’re cool so you can see what it’s like to have spools or serrated pins. I messed with one for a while and then was like “I wonder how much harder it would be to pick my front door lock instead of this cheap practice lock?” Turns out, the front door lock is ridiculously easy compared to a practice lock.

My neighbor sent a text to his wife once that said something like “make sure to get that pussy nice and clean for me cause I’ve got plans for you this weekend.”

Except instead of sending it to his wife, he accidentally sent it to his dry cleaner.

I think it’s physiological response to that teal color in food. There are lots of green foods that are ok to eat, so the immediate revulsion wasn’t as strong.

But yeah, that Baja Blast teal is something you only see in nature on mold.

That Baja Blast one provoked a physical gag reflex in me.

Man was living life dangerously

Aww but I thought I was special.

He didn’t really though. The headline makes it sound like Trump said “I won’t run again if I lose.” But that’s not the case. The exchange was actually:

Interviewer: If you’re not successful this time, do you see yourself running again in four years?

Trump: No I don’t. I think that will be… uhh… that will be it. I don’t see that at all. Hopefully we’re going to be successful.

I’m still shocked they changed their slogan from “Make America Great Again” to “Take America Back”. The people who came up with that saw that it implied violence and fully embraced it.

Back in the day, my stepdad worked overseas so we found ourselves at the airport quite often. Remember how they used to have those courtesy phones where you pick up, talk to an operator, and ask them to make an announcement in the airport to have someone pickup and connect you?

My brother and I would go to those phones and request that they page Reverend Maynard James Keenan. Then they’d announce over the intercom “Reverend Maynard James Keenan please pickup a white courtesy phone. Reverend Maynard James Keenan please pickup a white courtesy phone.” Then we’d lose our minds laughing. I don’t know why we thought it was so funny, but hopefully some other Tool fans at the time were walking through the airport and did a double take.

Kamala did this the during the debate and it worked much better than I expected. She was basically like “yeah everything this guy just said is bullshit. Anyway, here’s what I’m going to do.”
