People hate Billie Eilish?? I don’t go out of my way to listen to their stuff, but that latest song “lunch” has been getting a lot of radio play, and it’s fuckin hot, like what’s not to like

So that’s gonna be whirling-in-rags (evening) and Mute City (Kyaku remix), respectively, for me.

Not a country fan, or not a Rihanna country fan? I’m neither, really, but curious to hear from people with real opinions on the genre, etc

I love Coldplay, but this is just funny

Me too, usually because I’m on lunch and late getting back to work

Me IRL, I love when the clock shows a “special number”

Start a diary, and review where you’re at in life every once in a while.

God yeah, a hundred percent, great illustration of exactly what I was alluding to. It’s so short sighted. Even the benefits are nothing compared to the heights we could reach if we oriented our economics around coopération.

Cruelly, this system “works” (or at least is successful in perpetuating its existence) right up until the point of resource collapse (or revolution, if we’re looking at the good ending).

Thanks for your reply. I was pretty happy with this comment, so am chuffed to hear you appreciated it.

Keep on truckin, kid

Meanwhile I’m sitting outside on my phone. I’m choosing to call this this harm reduction.

A comedian huh?

That’s why bugs can be labeled “in shipped version.”

They know. It’s just they balanced it against everything else and it wasn’t worth spending time on or delaying the game for.

I won’t say that it’s purely a AAA problem, but it’s harder to excuse there.

What field is that?

Especially in business, it’s like, who are we competing against - hostile aliens?? Nah, it’s just us humans, trying to get by. We could be tossing eachother softballs, everyone winning, but instead there’s this self-fulfilling fear of an existential threat from “rivals.”

I like to encourage a culture of laziness at my work.

I think that’s a perfect response. You’re leading with sincerity, but also throwing it back on them to try and reason out what’s really bothering them (rather than taking it on yourself).

Just going to second this point of not really knowing what’s going on in someone’s head: I’ve known a few of people over the years who just had a “weird” (to me) affect, or manner, and it’s only after spending more time when them that I learned to read them properly.

And just speaking of myself, I know I can come off as angry when I’m just quietly thinking, or sarcastic when I’m really just trying to be earnest and straightforward. Like really really trying lol

Could also be that you’ve simply encountered yourself a jerk, in which case, you can safely dismiss them

what sound does it make

This smartphone I bought used for $20 almost a decade ago had been a pretty good deal… Other than that, a tea ball for loose leaf tea (couple dollars)… Maybe Minecraft back in day ($13)…

Also always glad to have a plunger (just regular one) whenever I need it. Hmm

Oh I know! A legit big flashlight that I keep by the door. Everyone has a light on their smartphone, but there’s nothing like busting out the flashlight when you just want to see.

Pro tip: always leave it in the same exact easy to reach spot, so you can find it in the dark
