You just became one of my new favorite people.

As far as I understand it, time as we know it didn't exist before the big bang, so by definition nothing existed before time. I don't really know how that works out either, I just go with what the fancy science people say

I hum to myself nearly constantly. If it's not the song stuck in my head, I'll just make up a tune. I quite like it, really.

Most chefs I've known are addicted to a lot more than just cigarettes

Why?

The latter, I believe.

Exactly

Shit like this is the only thing that makes me miss meat.

Yeah, except the sweeteners they use to make diet sodas "diet" make those sodas just as bad, if not worse, than the originals. Which also works for the car analogy given the source of the energy most EVs use :/

When I was growing up we had trouble breaking $10 a gram :/

Ramen.

Wow thanks I'm cured. Where do you recommend buying bootstraps?

... You do hear the irony, right?

We named ours after our blind cat, Musetta. She would walk in straight lines until she met a wall, at which point she would turn and continue in another straight line. She had recently died when we got our first Roomba, so it was like reincarnation to us lol.

Currently taking my sweet time playing No Man's Sky. I bought it on release, never played until recently, and couldn't be happier. Avoiding the story, building a massive base, and exploring the cosmos has never been so satisfying. Next up on my list of games to check out again is Cyberpunk. Everyone and their mother says it's better now, so I figure it's worth a shot.

I do believe it was a troll. Username

Me too. Usually changing the script slightly to exaggerate or be bombastic works for me. Ex. "How are you today?" "I'm doing just fantastic so far, how are you?" Or "ch-ch-ch-chillin," sung to the tune of the Chia Pet jingle. Usually gets me further than "Good, you?" Social interaction is just another game I've had to get good at.

I think all things should be described with this level of context. Life would be so much simpler.

After a single week of (relatively) low sales, the company slashed our labor by a third. Lost a lot of good people because we simply weren't allowed to schedule them. The skeleton crew that did remain was left to deal with the (surprise surprise) massive influx of business we received in the following two months. Did they ever give us they labor back? Negative. Now we're left dealing with 1.3x the business with 0.6x as much staff. Staff who are necessarily less stellar than their predecessors.

God, I'm tired of buying other people's boats

Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video lol
