I got a vasectomy as a way of dealing with it.

Oh damn, I’ve been wondering why to do with my extra box of stuffing.

I’m gonna try this this week. Sounds tasty.

1lb ground beef 2 cans sweet corn 2 cans of kidney beans Two cans diced tomatoes 1 can tomato paste Taco seasoning (I buy McCormicks from Costco so I have no idea how many packets)

In a large pot brown the beef Once browned open all cans and put them in the pot, juice and all Heat to simmer and add taco seasoning with your heart

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and/or some shredded cheese on top

Taco soup

Or be me as a kid

White bread Put ketchup on bread Put Kraft single on top Put in the oven under the broiler until the cheese melts and the edge of the bread crisps Eat it over the sink in order to not kill your mother by disrespecting the plates with that garbage Realize you’re still hungry and make 3 more

Mine sucks because it’s the best job I’ve ever had. Planned on staying as long as they’d keep me (just under 5 years it turns out) and had no plans at all to even poke around at other roles.

The silver lining is I’ll prob get a nice pay increase since I’ve been pretty underpaid at this place as it’s an NPO.

Reminds me of the time when I worked in a sprint retail store and one day we came in and the power was cut, there was no internet, and all our logins that we could access from our mobile devices worked.

We were told there was a clerical error and all was good.

Two months later when they were shutting down our store they admitted they were planning to shut down the store and were just two months early with the logistics.

Two nights ago I had a random meeting with the CEO, who I have a really good relationship with, added to my calendar. Thought nothing of it.

I entered the zoom call and said ‘so am I getting fired?’

The answer was yes.

Awkward silence ensued for a minute until they started telling me about the severance package.

Side note: I can try to negotiate that severance a bit right?

I’m about to turn 40, and 27 has proven to be too young for me. The folks I’ve had the most success with have been 30+.

At 30, I’d think 25+ is the spot to be in.

Our universal left, comrade.

Let’s say, universal left.

I’m shitting inside my vanity but also have the vanity inside me so I’m pretty sure I’m dead.

10 minutes ago I’d have been rolling on the freeway at 69mph. So dead either way I guess.

I use the Philips EP3221/44

I paid $700 for it but it’s available on places like Amazon $400.

Works great, minimal maintenance, and makes good enough coffee. The milk frother is fine but you won’t be making any latte art with it.

I recently picked up a 13 year old dell inspiron to run my instance of home assistant and Plex. It was an upgrade from a shitty old Linux laptop that was literally falling apart. All I had to do was add ram (it only had 6gb and it wasn’t stable, so I maxed it out with 16gb) and I swapped the old slow HDD for a crucial SATA SSD and it’s been perfect. It probably pulls more wattage than necessary but it’s exactly what I need for now.

My super automatic espresso machine. Dead simple to use and so much cheaper than operating a keurig. I bought it because I’m awful at real coffee machines and need to have a single serve option. Being able to use whole beans has made it pay for itself in the 3 years I’ve had it.

Oh yea. If fascism doesn’t kill us, AI will. We’re all fucked and we’ve known it since skynet entered the American psyche.

This is what I do. I don’t like the ingredients that make up antiperspirants so I stick with not stinking.

I generally don’t sweat too badly either, which helps.

Oh right, the person i described would never be a republican. Likely not a democrat either, but infinitely more likely to be.

I don’t want someone that ‘votes their convictions 100%’ any more than I want a party hardliner. That’s just a different kid of zealot. I want people that lead with their convictions and then vote contextually with a willingness to change, grow, and adapt.

Shredded kind. I was pretty disappointed since they weren’t exactly cheap. Worked really well for my ex wife though.

Wish I could crank my 401k. But I’m already having to work a second job to make ends meet. I’ve been sorely tempted to get that 4% back in my pocket for about a year now.
