Oh man. At a previous job, I walked into our kitchen and one of the supervisors was on the other side of the room facing away and her skirt was tucked into her underwear. I was on my way over to her when our male director walk in the door. I’m not sure I’ve even seen a look of horror on someone’s face like what was on his lol. He turned around and walked right back out, and I fixed her skirt and just told her it was folded up odd. Didn’t tell her that her butt was on display and that she just mooned our big boss haha

No reception where I live! It’s port much in the middle of national forest tho.

For the last 17 years I have somehow managed to be the only person in my area with my kind and year car, and being able to find it in a parking lot is one of the reasons I love it.

Oh, I know it’s ridiculous. They took my family member, that’s all I needed to see to realize that.

You can have a high IQ and still be an utterly inept moron. I have family in Mensa and they are hands down some of the laziest, stupidest people I know.

Only if I can go on a cruise, too!

That would just make more more depressed than I already am.

That’s pretty normal for any doctor’s office. There is almost certainly items from other brands all over the back area where the patients don’t go, too. Drug reps go hard on the cheap freebies so the office will always have a reminder that their drug exists. If you ever see someone in the waiting room who is particularly attractive and dressed far nicer than average, that is usually a rep who is there to drop more goodies and shill their drug. As I understand it, it’s a very lucrative job.

The canary died back when they removed “don’t be evil”. I think the canary was just resurrected as a Horizon Zero Dawn mech canary.

Lots of bears where I am. If you hit them head on, your car is usually totaled.

I like how in their slippery pizza cheese example, google’s ai referenced a really old Reddit comment about how adding glue to the cheese will make it less slippery. Lol

It wasn’t this bad back when I was growing up in the 80’s-90’s. We were definitely fans, though the Superbowl years gave a lot of us football PTSD. I always enjoyed the Bills because so many of the players then were very small town types. It was normal to see even the big name players like Jim Kelly playing pool in one of the small, rural communities outside the city. (Sabers, too!). I moved away in 2004, so I don’t know how much of that community feeling is still there, but something definitely changed. Fans are kind of embarrassing now.

Funny aside:. When Jim Kelly retired as quarterback, he and some others went to play pool at a place in one of those little towns. A friend of mine found out they were there and phoned me up all excited because she was going to go and try to recruit him for her Amway downline, “because now that he’s retired, hell need a new source of income!”. She wanted me to go with her. Haha hellll no girl, you go shill your MLM by yourself! The second-hand embarrassment was awful.

Oh god. This caught me completely off guard and I just laughed so much. Grew up in western NY, understand perfectly!

If that’s a popular place to cut through, that hedge would also get wrecked from kids trying to see if they can jump it.

I get it. I have a folder on my phone of all the screenshots I’ve taken off crafts I want to do (but probably never will) while doom scrolling.

In my experience of being the person who always gets talked over, women do it just as much as men :(

I am mediocre at a lot of things. But the way I combine and use those skills are what make my skill set unique and what makes them great.

I love this. It pretty much perfectly describes how I got every job I’ve ever had as an adult.

Look at it this way: after AI replaces you, a lot of companies are going to eventually realize AI can’t cut it. Once that happens, you folks will be in high demand. You just… have to find a way to survive in the interim. :(

Well, this is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a while.

I could never get into Halloween because I grew up in western NY and it wasn’t unusual to have a ton of snow by the end of October. Hard to to be excited about a costume when it has to be covered by winter clothing. I think the very last time I went trick or treating, I just threw a sheet over me and my snow suit and called it good lol.
