“Find a job doing what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

I used to love software. Then all the Lumberghs took over.

How many optional organs does this poor guy have?

I’ve only seen one of them up close in person and it was pretty cool, I do admit. But I still don’t want one for myself. Something about the whole thing just feels weird and off. I’d be constantly feeling like it was going to split apart from plastic fatigue if I had one.

The Emperor’s Throne Room.

There was at least one care bear on Lemmy saying ‘think of his family’, etc.

Nah, I will think about the families of the tens of thousands of private insurance victims instead.

Tight.

Love everything about it except for the Spez watermark

Blocking doesn’t mean they “got to you”. It means you value your own time and energy and don’t want to see the same idiot’s vomit-thoughts over and over.

Guessing a book. Or maybe an arrowhead. Hopefully a collector or historian will weigh in. It’s a fun question.

My favorite is Middle Earth, but my 2nd choice would be the Dresden Files. Everything from Chicago to the Feywild to Vampire parties to the realms of the dead.

Making this about yourself is where you screwed up.

Is there a printer in the room? Print off a photo of one of your least favorite coworkers, use it as a paper mask, leave.

“Dogs and cats sleeping together!”

Like the last 9 out of 10, honestly. Way too many comment snipers. It’s exhausting. You’re wise to not bother with it.

I loved Voyager and don’t understand the hate. I’m more of a Star Wars fan, however, and not that knowledgeable regarding Trek.

Varies for me. Sometimes I can’t wait to dig in, other times I’m over it by the time it’s done. I think the more complicated the recipe is and the longer it takes, the less appetizing it is. My wife is the same way.

It’s like the marathon of anticaption kills it.

I think there’s maybe a lesson in there. Don’t look forward too much to good things, and don’t dread too much the bad things.

In the aisle of a truck stop convenience store between magazine racks. Our tour bus had broken down again. It was in some midwestern town, can’t even remember the state, as this was in the late 80s. Was reading magazines on the floor to kill time and fell asleep. Fortunately the clerk didn’t care.

My broken brain thinks up of a lot of dumb questions about science, history, and other topics. I use it all the time to answer those. Especially if it’s a question that’s a nuisance to lookup on Wikipedia (though I still love Wikipedia). I like ChatGPT because of the interactive nature of it. And I often have dumb follow-up questions for it.

It has also been a huge help when I get stuck of a coding or scripting task. Both at work and at home.

One of my favorite shows ever!
