Professionals have standards

Why do you not respect boundaries?

The boundary being “keep your religious stuff away from me”

If my employer tried to tell me I’m only getting paid when I’m actively using the equipment instead of the whole time I setting up and transferring materials, I’d have to get in line to set the place on fire

If the government declares a strike illegal, or tries to in any way compel the employees to return to work, they are explicitly telling the workers that they are nothing more than indentured servants, barely more than slaves. You exist to make these people money, now sit down and shut up before we throw you in prison for upsetting your betters.

They said “stupid”, not “evil”

Although I’d argue that any billionaire not actively dumping the bulk of their wealth and influence to sort out world hunger, homelessness, and inequality is being evil.

Fuck it I’m buying it now.

Half life 2 was my first “I can’t wait to get home and play” game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.

1 it was too expensive to move out and honestly without the added income I provided my parents would have lost their house on multiple occasions

2 I got one the fall after I graduated

3 this one took awhile

4 lol no. Never. Children are the worst. I should know, I used to be one.

The older people I know who vote Democrat complain all the time about how expensive everything is these days and nobody can afford anything.

The bullshit “Nobody wants to work” narrative is absolutely pushed by conservatives.

It seems like every time it goes on sale, I am either between contracts or just not able to justify the unnecessary expense.

Now that I have more stable employment it hasn’t gone on sale.

Honestly this by itself might be enough to make me pay full price.

I wonder how long it took, considering they wrote a script to convert the original transcription into PZ usable stuff.

10/10 mod, no pattern buffer for you.

Oh my god so much yes.

Make it chilly enough to wear an oversized hoodie and I will never leave.

To anyone who doesn’t want to watch videos, it’s a reference to “Beauty and The Beast”, specifically the intro where the entire town sings a song containing lines such as "look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, " “yes she’s strange, no question” and “what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle” (her name) the whole time she is walking around town, well within hearing distance.

While job searching this year, I had someone ask “are you okay with me using an AI assistant to record your voice to take notes during the call?”

To which I said no.

She then said “sorry but the position has been filled, we can go ahead and cancel this interview”

Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it’s the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.

I’ll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there’s basically a countrywide accepted “standard response”

you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?

Shame, I guess you’ll have to stab some tires. No choice, really.

Make sure you don’t poke any high pressure tires, your hands and arm bones will thank you!

Ooh nice, cheaper eco-friendly alternative!

Valve stem tool. Any bike shop worth going to will have one, and almaot any auto shop should have some.

Loosen the stem, and you don’t even have to sit there letting the air out. Just walk away and let it deflate.

This looks more like someone did it on purpose.

They’re all shifted down by one

$250 non refundable application deposit?

LMAO I’d sooner torch the rental property than pay just to APPLY to hopefully live there.

My wife and I were looking at realtors and one told us we would need to provide our credit card info to look at properties, and I just laughed and said “go fuck yourself” and hung up.

The only valid response, IMO.

The fact that people actually pay this shit is infuriating.
