My oldest has no children and works fully remote.

When the pandemic started, his company decided to have everyone work from home. They very quickly discovered that they were just as productive, and the owner decided it made sense to dump their office space.

A group of employees decided to go on vacation together, while still working. Since they are all remote, they didn’t actually have to work from home. They got an Airbnb with good Internet, worked during the day, and saw the sites and had fun together after work.

If you’re remote and you miss that sense of community, reach out to your coworkers and ask them if they want to hang out after work. It’s possible they don’t and you’ll be disappointed. It’s also possible that they feel the same way but didn’t know they could do something about it.

Either you’ll be the hero that saved everyone from their solitary existence, or you’ll have to accept that they don’t want to hang out with you.

She doesn’t have the job because she’s smart.

She has the job because she’s on their side.

They’re fishing for answers in the answer pond,

Except, they’ve actually dropped their lines in the stupidity toilet.

They also happen to be linked up to a rapid and highly efficient super computer far outclassing anything that humanity has ever devised

A neural network that has been in development for 650 million years.

I think you can dislike pedophiles and even want to see them punished, yet still recognize that some asshole doing it to get revenue from their YouTube channel is not the right solution.

Personally, I’m of the opinion that most crime is the result of either poverty or neurological flaws, and torture is not the best solution to either problem.

People need to be kept safe, and the criminal justice system is ostensibly the mechanism we’ve decided to use for that.

To be fair, when the poem was written we were getting our asses kicked and survival was not assured.

If you look at the events of the moment, the significant part is the “not getting killed” part.

If things had gone differently, we could all be speaking English today!

They cosplay as tough guys.

No. That wouldn’t happen in a gun store.

You’d have to go to a gun show.

Edit: a gun show is like comic con, only for guns.

Butter and lard aren’t the problems with the American diet.

It’s almost impossible to find anything still made with lard anymore.

Agreed. It’s just not where I’d start changing things.

Anyone who looks at the U.S. and thinks it’s a fucked up country because of the food just isn’t paying attention.

Ironically, if you really wanted to make healthcare CEOs safer, you’d set up a hotline for people who have been denied medical coverage.

Hope leads to peace, despair leads to bullets.

I’m descended from an officer killed by the British in the American revolution.

My parents and my brother all voted for Trump.

They aren’t saying you won’t get anesthesia. That would be wrong.

You just have to pay the bill when you wake up.

If only there was some government organization in place that could propose and pass legislation to limit the TSA.

As long as the store isn’t a 24x7 operation, at some point they will want to close. If you’re still there, they’ll ask you what you want.

At that point, you panic and run home.

Ridiculous. If your number is skipped, you pick another number and keep waiting.

So, one more item in the “Pro” column for voting against Trump.

Then maybe we can work on fixing the problems here.

Someone once posted that rather than calling it Christian Nationalism, we should call it Nationalist Christianity, because it has a convenient and easy to remember abbreviation: Nat.C.

Wear gloves when they hand you that guideline because they might be pulling it out of their ass.
