I once had a 40 year old coworker take up my entire fucking lunch showing my skibidi fucking toilet.

I still may kick him half to death if I see him again

She’s such a cuddle bug! She spent most of the night sleeping right next to me under the covers. I’d post the image but I’m shirtless in it!

Currently judging between 2 names based on behavior

The first is the name of my former D&D Artificer, Sharahn. This is because she only wants to hang out around my technology for some reason

The other is Lilliana, like the magic Planeswalker. She’s black (super duper dark brown, but close enough) and keeps knocking over my Garruk plush but not my Chandra plush

She’s an absolute sweet heart! A few hours in and she’s already seeking cuddles with me!

I believe on Android and iOS you can press volume down to silence a ringer without hanging up. I know you can on Samsung at least

As a person from a military family, they’d clock you instantly. Once you live among military people, you begin to be able to spot who is or isn’t military instantly. Even not being in the military myself, I can almost always at least guess their branch and get within a rank or 2. I’ve never seen my dad not get branch and exact rank within a couple seconds of talking to someone

Aula has some solid keyboards for a good price, and they’re nice and hefty. You could beat a man to death with mine and keep on typing afterwards. I think I paid like $80?

Hey acceleratiionists and people who Harris “wasn’t good enough” for, remember that you could’ve helped stop this shit before it even happened. Now people are going to suffer and die under this regime that you helped bring to power

Doesn’t “in lieu of gratuity” mean “instead of tipping”?

And they don’t increase prices 23% because customers would see the new prices and just leave

Oh, I do travel through there. I hate it for many, many reasons

Louisiana is definitely low on the list, but Mississippi and Alabama are 1000% worse. It seems like those two constantly fight to be in last place

The rich and powerful will still be buying meat at the insane rates, and their opinions are the only ones the other rich and powerful care about

Yeah, I read the headline and thought “they hadn’t done that already?”

(note - I’m a relative noob for boxing. I attend semi regular classes at a local gym but don’t tend to watch much at all)

Boxing requires a huge depth of skill and not a huge breadth. It’s one of those sports where the basics are 99% of the sport. Definitely makes it seem like 2 dudes just going at each other, but the amount of skill and raw stamina needed to be remotely competitive is insane. Even with gloves, those punches still hurt like a mother fucker and then you’re expected to not only keep going after receiving a few dozen, but expected to dish out your own

And have to dig up even more earth using even more big machines? If you did a 50ft power line underground, that’s 50 ft of earth that has to be dug up, not to mention what happens whenever something inevitably goes wrong and you have to dig it all up again. Then you also have to bury transformers, which means you need to cool them.

There’s many, many good reasons that we use power lines over burying them. Mostly, power lines are so significantly cheaper and easier that it’s not even comparable. I’ve seen the bill when a buried fiber line gets broken. It is crazy expensive.

Yeah, Trump looks like he’s from a polaroid and Diddy seems like a digital camera. It’s definitely some weird lighting conditions

Ah, appreciate it! Love a cool depth of field and lighting effect making things look fake effect, but not when its something actually important!

Honest question - is that second Diddy pic real? The lighting looks really strange to me for some reason. Not like AI, more semi decent at best photoshop

Went back to a TN high school recently for the first time since graduating to do some work.

They had to call local police to check my tool box to make sure it didn’t have a gun hidden anywhere, which took almost an hour.

Every single door is locked constantly. Every classroom is locked with a key, so anyone needing to get inside needs the knock to be let in and disturb class. If the teacher needs to go to the bathroom between periods, all the students not already in the class are locked outside.

At one point, I left a door propped open cause I didn’t want to disturb the people running lines. The principal, who used to be my principal at another school, attempted to give yell at me over it.

They’ve also distributed an iPad to every student to act as a hall pass. Except they have to request the pass, raise their hand, ask to use the bathroom, then the teacher has to pull out their iPad and approve it. All of this takes a ton of time.

Starting this year, they only get 3 passes a day. Period. Anymore and the principal has to approve it personally or it’s detention. They have nothing in place to make it so kids with intestinal issues can have more passes, and this systems been in place for 3 years now. Every student I talked to told me they knew someone who pissed their pants in class because they weren’t allowed to leave under threat of detention or suspension.

TN schools and TN in general is just fucked beyond belief now. And the people who put all these ridiculous policies into place are all currently running unopposed.

The Covenant School shooting and moronic conservative parents having an insane amount of control has straight up regresses TN schools to a worse point of security theatre than post columbine or 9/11. All over a single shooting.

Edit: apologies for my horrendous grammar. However, I’m currently too tired to fix it right now
