I love disco Elysium
If you forget about Lemmy, straight to jail. No question.
When I was a kid, I used to play video games while jumping around. I’d stand in front of the TV, bounce around, play Mario, run in circles. My parents didn’t care.
At some point, society said that was weird, and I had a gaming chair?
Watching myself balloon (and already using a standing desk for work) went back to standing while playing video games. I enjoy it!
Eww gross but moving around can lead to death I watched a YouTube video on that. I’m not falling for that
Felt like when I was job hunting around 2019, 80% of job applications I filled out didn’t even feel real. No reply back. Weird hoops to jump. Submit a resume then fill it out again.
This is what happens when old fucks hold onto power and don’t change with the times.
You don’t want a giant ass pickup truck that drives like a tank, takes up 1.5 times the parking space and goes 8 miles on the gallon?
Well obviously the snowflake cop who didn’t understand laws.
If you do it well enough, you’ll get paid for it too!
I am pro privacy and hiding your shit because as a engineer, my goal is to do cool shit. Cool shit like seeing what diseases your poop has.
Then some fucktard sees that data and uses it for evil.
Any woman tracking her period is getting Handmaid’s Tale and it’s bullshit, all because engineers want to do cool shit.
After the first 100, the other 300 kinda don’t matter.
spanked one 100 times
One 100 times or 1 time, but 100 times?
This line of work basically put me in the position that is the subject of commercials that try to convince suburban dads that they need a huge truck in case one day their family goes on a fictional camping trip to the middle of a swamp.
This is so on point.
So many defenders go, “It helped when I had to haul shit to the dump” or “I bring wood back to build my shed”.
What about the other 95% of the year? Because I rent a van to move shit and I’m happy taking the bus.
I keep hearing like they didn’t really do shit. When Uber did a fuckton.
1 - Reputation. If a taxi driver was a racist POS, literally nothing I can do.
2 - Agreed upon fare. You literally see a estimate of the cost. I had a taxi add extra fees the moment I sat in the car.
3 - GPS. The route on your phone is the same route they follow. How many times have taxis went on a fucking joyride to rank up more money?
4 - See when the ride is coming. “Cab will be there in 15-45 mins.” Never fucking shows up.
5 - Automatic payment. How many fucking CC machines didn’t work so they forced you to pay cash?
I can go on and on.
But to say some tech bro slapped some tech jargon onto taxis and became rich is disingenuous to all the innovations they’ve done to unfuck the taxi industry.
Wait what?
Your culture doesn’t tip taxi drivers?
I constantly felt like if I didn’t tip the taxi driver, he’d drive in reverse and tell me to fuck off. Because yes they were that kind of asshole.
90% of Uber drivers for me were immigrants. Its normal to me.
Same people who want to “protect children”.
My great grandmother only budgeted her retirement to live until 90. When she turned 91, she fixed her will to leave less. She’s turning 98 soon and constantly is afraid she’ll run completely out of money. She jokes that she’ll end her life any day now to avoid having us deal with her debt.
It’s absolutely horrifying thinking like that.
I can’t imagine this to not be the case. Every bartender I know is tweaked out of their mind. Even the ones who see bartending as an art.
I’m not knocking their skill set. But they’ll be a rare breed if they think about bartending AND food safety at a high level enough to think about the cleanliness of ice.
