Holy crap

It’s funny how that reply, 5 years ago, would have probably been from someone on the right who also loved rolling coal. Now, that same reply can be from someone on the left.

Can Elmo say the word if Elmo is singing his favorite song?

Unarmed lol

Overheard on a game chat recently. Two guys arguing whether 100 guys could take on a silverback gorilla. One of them insisted that silverbacks have impenetrable skin lol.

If you feel comfortable doing so, you could ask for insight into why your application wasn’t considered. You can try to phrase it around making it a learning moment for you: Can you explain to me why my application wasn’t considered so that I can be better prepared the next time an opportunity arises? The person being asked the question will be less likely to see it was an attack and more of a humble question from a person who values their insight.

Oh shit I know her!

I loved the first 3 Burnout games. I HATED Paradise. I just greatly dislike open world racing games.

As of this moment: $5.49 for 12 large brown.

Last week I was able to get $4.49 for 12 large cage free.

Bird flu is obviously influencing prices quite a bit lately.

Because it’s not good at a single thing and yet tries to do everything. It’s slow, cumbersome, and poorly laid out in a way that discourages a productive workflow.

Microsoft rushed the hell out of it to ride that Zoom covid wave and never bothered to go back and figure out why not a single person you’ve ever met actually doesn’t mind it (nevermind likes it).

Samsung had a remote that did this, actually.

I can’t imagine anyone wants this lol. I’m surprised it’s not somehow managed by “AI”

For like 4 people, at most.

AOC backed an idea to build homes and the ln hand over ownership to tenant cooperatives or non-profit orgs. Seemed like a decent idea on the surface.

Mortgage rates coming down is not the answer. It’ll only drive up demand while supply stays the same. There is a major need for more supply. People will reply with the number of vacant units, but vacancy is a broad measure that ignores things like a house currently being sold and going through the closing process.

The country, as a whole, needs something like 6.5 million more housing units to meet demand at which point prices would come down.

It’s unfortunately not going to happen without government (local or federal) intervention.

This Freakonomics episode focuses more on rentals but the basic concepts are the same:

It feels like Zuckerberg is out of ideas and just chases the trends to stay relevant. He was all in on the “metaverse” until he wasn’t because the concept disappeared. Now, he’s all in on AI because everyone else is. Even the quest, before it became the face of the metaverse, was him chasing another big idea from someone else.

He and the company haven’t had original ideas in a very long time. Even the smaller ones, like Stories and Reels, are just ideas copied from someone else.

People do that so that the content doesn’t get shadow banned by automatic systems on social media.

I once had a co-worker like this named Andrew. One morning, while he scrambled to fill any moments of silence, I told him “Andrew, silence is ok sometimes” and went back to my work. He was significantly less annoying to work with afterwards.

I probably came off as a bit of a dick, though it wasn’t my intention.

Another soulless billionaire kisses the ring.

I hate how much I laughed at this. I’m never growing up.
