I’m the same way, except instead of making you feel bad about yourself, I will feel bad about myself for feeling so angry at you.

Then if I’m upset enough, I will become moderately less polite or, in even more extreme cases, drop any joviality from my voice and speak to you only in monotone.

I want to acknowledge that this was amusing, but I’m not sure how to do so with clear sincerity.

Ages ago, I was part of a department that was subject to a compliance inspection. The inspection wasn’t a surprise, but it was short notice. We spent days making sure that our two networks of hundreds of computers each were compliant (they mostly were) and that our documentation was up to date (it mostly was). They spent their entire inspection looking at two internal DNS servers. (They passed and we were praised for our higher than average compliance.)

My wife knew I was going to propose because we went ring shopping together. However, she didn’t know when the ring was to be delivered and so didn’t know my plans. The night I did propose, I took her to a fancyish restaurant; she told me later that she was trying to figure out where I was carrying the ring.

I wasn’t, though. Before taking her to the restaurant, I had consulted a mutual, female friend who said that my wife would be expecting it and I should propose when we got home.

I did so, but before I did, she went upstairs. In my nervousness and excitement, I was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, ring in hand, and failed to notice that she was carrying a stack of laundry as she descended.

And that’s how I proposed to my wife while she was holding a pile of dirty underwear.

edit: I hate it when my client decides to post half a comment without consulting me.

My wife went to get evaluated for ADHD. Before doing so, she researched what that might entail and found that many prospective ADHD sufferers found the evaluations easier if they made a list of their behaviors that they believed to be symptomatic.

She did so, a rather extensive list in fact, and brought it to the doctor. I wasn’t there, but apparently she got one or two items in before the doctor (who, to be fair, had been seeing her for general health for a while) said “stop. You obviously do have ADHD.” I guess it was that clear.

I’ve never been diagnosed with anything, but I don’t think I’m neurotypical. As such, I couldn’t tell you what behaviors of my wife’s were normal or otherwise, but she does seem a lot happier and in more stable moods since she got medicated. Took a while to get the medication right for her, though.

I hate this functionality.

It’s pretty much my favorite so far.

Better not let it talk to Cyclops or it will fly itself into the sun.

Not sure if it’s what the previous commenter meant, but Onn is a brand owned by Walmart.

This light is very patriotic.

Doppler effect.

I originally bought (yes, bought) Fortnite because a friend and I were super into H1Z1 (now the non-existent “Just Survive” version, RIP) and he thought they would be similar. They certainly weren’t identical, but there was definitely some overlap.

Then PUBG started to get popular and both H1Z1 and Fortnite completely redesigned themselves … One more successfully than the other.

Wasn’t the OG a base building survival game?

This looks different from the movie.

Gentlemen! I bring you …

TIL!

He doesn’t?

I’m not being sarcastic or making a joke. I thought he won all three categories.

My understanding is that Edge is Chromium and will also eventually be impacted by this.

Ugh.
