  • “Winning requires hard work. I believe that most of us, being ambitious individuals, find fulfillment in the joy of seeing our efforts materialize into tangible results,”

    Bitch, I find fulfilment in paying my fucking bills. I could give 2 shits less about the “tangible results” of my work that makes my company money, I only care that my boss is happy with my work and I get paid. Working harder to get another 10% out the door gets me 0% more money, so why do I care about making you more money with no benefit to me?

    All that is ln’t to say I don’t care about the quality of my work, I’m just not going to break my back to make my boss another dollar while I get jack shit out of my extra effort. I get paid for 40hrs, I work 40hrs, and I’m surely not going above and beyond to earn a pizza party or something…



  • Sure, though it isn’t super exciting. The assistant store manager, Lucio (fuck you Lucio, you fucking piece of shit) was an illegal immigrant who managed to fake his way through the verification steps, and INS showed up one day and vanned him while I was away going to college.

    I wasn’t sad to see that fucker go, because he had a number of Mexican kids that he let do whatever they wanted, including Edgar who sexually harassed multiple girls out of the store and Lucio wouldn’t do shit because “why would I fire him when we’re already losing one employee”. Never mind that wed already lost 4 girls at that point and one of them was pregnant at the time. I’m honestly surprised he and I never came to blows because I didn’t hide that I fucking hate him.


  • My manager didn’t honor the employee discount after I was gone, either.

    They never do. I had a manager try that shit on me when I was working food service, and I turned it around on him and made him get one of his toadies to clean it up after talking a bunch about “not being trained for biohazard cleanup” and “OSHA regs” which got him to back down, and I told all my coworkers the same so they’d tell him to fuck off too.

    Still wish I could have been there when the feds showed up and escorted him out of the building.




  • Having gone through your journey about a year ago (complete with coming from Feit lights and plugs), I don’t think you’re going to find an integration that lets you control them (but if you do, please let me know!)

    I use a lot of aquaria sensors (water/temp/presence), sengeled bulbs and outlets, and I think third reality is who makes my motion detectors. I’ve got my office, living room, kitchen/dining room and basement all hooked up with motion or presence activated lights, most of which have scenes that control what light is what color when. Definitely worth investing in equipment that hooks into HA natively, you can hack a lot of stuff together, but it’s so much nicer when things just work.

    I ended up going with a zigbee coordinator from Tubes ZB, as it was one of the better recommended ones, but you can go with a cheaper option if it fits your use case. I needed a network coordinator since my HA is virtual and wanted flexibility in where my stuff lives.













  • An Israeli strike targeting a Hamas commander in the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza has left catastrophic damage and killed a large number of people, according to eyewitnesses and medics in the enclave.

    Israel is a terrorist state, and they’re so blood thirsty for Hamas commanders that they’re bombing fucking refuge camps.

    And they wonder what drives support for Hamas? Jk, no they don’t. Israel knowsthey support Hamas because of Israel’s actions, and Israel leans into it to give them excuses to marginalize and remove Palestinians from their land one way or another.

    I don’t support Hamas, but supporting Israel is unconcionable, and has been for years. But with so many things these days, the authorizations are going full mask off…
