It means you’re still in consideration.

I know when I’ve hired in the past, if I like the first person I interview I still try to interview at least one more person so I actually have a choice. If I don’t like someone I’ll immediately let them know.

The only time I’ve ever had my food stolen was when I was working as a deckhand on a tug. I’ve been working white collar jobs for the past 25 years and haven’t had to deal with it since.

Also, my solution was to spray degreaser on my food the next day and wait to see who complains. Turns out, I’m the one who got in trouble for that even though I put a ‘do not eat’ sign in the food.

Half Life 2… The price was right!

It needs another frame showing that feudalism never went away. Capitalism is just a way to walk us all back to feudalism.

Careful, soon there will be Russians having their PTSD triggered by the sound of a drone.

Yes, happens quite often and not just with coffee, but also soda cups.

Typically it’s lotion and my wife is allergic to Bath & Body Works lotions and has had full blown asthma attacks from a cup being handed into our car.

Good thing water and electricity can’t be used to harm kids.

List of jackets

• Hoodie, a zippered hooded sweatshirt (non zippered can be considered a sweatshirt only)

That clears things up… this jacket is a zippered hooded sweatshirt.

Wait, that resolves nothing!

And those indie studios are going to be AAA studios in a few years, run by people who care about making great games over maximizing profits.

This was the one I was drawn to as well… The irreverent goat hauling an idol of Baphomet stuck dead center in the middle of all these other crazy motherfuckers, feeling like he’s the most normal one of the bunch.

“But, if I’m the most normal… I’m scared to death of society.”

In the 2nd grade. When we got to school each morning we went to our classrooms and dropped off our stuff, then we went to the gym to wait for school to start. I was in a split class (2nd & 3rd grade in the same room) and while in the gym a 3rd grader came up and asked me what I’d do if my box of crayons went missing. I had the Crayola 128 mega box, with attached sharpener… top of the line.

Of course, when I get to class, my crayons are missing, and Tommy has a box in his desk. I walk over and tell him to give me my crayons and he says they are his. A fight is brewing, so other kids gather round. I reach down and grab the box from his desk and put them behind my back, then simply ask “If these are your crayons, where did you get them?” and he replied “My mom bought them for me at Piggly Wiggly”… I pulled the box from my back and showed everyone the ‘Wal-Mart’ sticker on the back. Then I put my crayons back in my desk.

I was always a small kid, always being picked on… this was one of my few wins as a kid and it felt so good.

He’s talking about Baldur’s Gate 3, right?

Same.

Not just is there a lack of content here, but the echo chamber effect is so much worse here than it was on Reddit.

If it’s a credit card then you should have pretty decent protection against fraud from the credit card company. I’ve had my card details stolen a few times (though never directly from my browser) and each time the credit card company has identified the fraud and reached out to me within minutes.

Now if it’s a debit card, you should NEVER put those numbers into a computer. I only ever use my debit card to access the ATM, and even that is rare.

Goddamn White Trash by Ministry is my go-to song for 2024.

That’s the story of Fossil: great looking watches, that are subpar quality. I’ve owned 4 Fossil watches over the past 30+ years and I’ve regretted each one. The last was the Carlisle smartwatch, and that will be my last a Fossil.

“If they meet specs” is the important thing, and unfortunately that’s hard to know, though that $0.99 cable at the gas station isn’t going to cut it.

This is nice and all, but couldn’t they instead make an arbitrary UI change to the camera app again? I’m almost to the point where I’m using that app with muscle memory again.

At home, I’m sitting. Not just for the cleanliness, but also for the comfort.

I’ve always said that true power comes from having the ability to do something (pee while standing), but choosing when to use that power. Anyone who thinks that ‘real men’ only pee while standing have lost their power to choose.
