@LuFins-Dad said in Sydney Sweeney has brought boobs back: @89th said in Sydney Sweeney has brought boobs back: Men are simple creatures. Not as simple as you think or is being implied. Everybody thinks that it’s all about the boobs, but it’s not. The fact that she’s not 300 lbs is important as well. Or has a mouthful of rotten teeth or beard or mustache or Adam's Apple or dick (as far as we can tell).

Reality is a kick in the head that a lot more people need.

@LuFins-Dad said in Six times more likely: May I ask the simple 2 word question “By who?”? No. But we’ll allow “By whom?” ETA. Sorry. Just scrolled more and saw you had been appropriately admonished for your grammar.

Hurts to watch. I broke a bone in my foot in January. It’s only recently healed enough for me to walk normally.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Fair: @89th said in Fair: In general, you don't want to see people lose their jobs. That being said, I don't know about you but every single organization I've worked in... you could fire probably 50% of the workforce tomorrow without an impact to the company. The key is knowing which folks aren't adding value and which ones are. I'm not saying firing people is wrong, obviously it needs to happen sometimes. I'm saying getting a kick out it is sick. The fact that other people get a kick out of it too doesn't make it ok. I'm honestly not virtue signaling here, I found firing people really distressing. I've also had two people crying in my office because of performance reviews which I probably could have handled better. Anybody who enjoys that kind of shit can go fuck themselves, I don't care how rich they are. A friend of mine at another company in the UK fired somebody who then went and hung himself. Believe me, I get it. I learned just last week there is a massive group of folks I work with who want us all laid off. They really want it. Like real bad. And they have more clout than we do. Things aren't great for people like me right now in the job market. The frustrating thing is that it's just like desktop publishing in the 90s. Our careers aren't at risk because the computers can replace us—they're at risk because morons think they can. (The folks in the 90s eventually got their careers back with new job titles but it was a rough half-decade for them). And that's just my corner of things but once our little toys become self-aware, well, what makes you think you aren't going to have the same problems? Or much bigger ones? But a lot of my co-workers got laid off last year and no one's speaking up for them because Elon Musk didn't do the laying off. People care about the Twitter employees because it made the news. It made the news because Elon Musk is newsworthy. And he's newsworthy because he elicits emotions in people.

@LuFins-Dad said in No Kiss: The second page of the rescinded memo mentioned that the photo “V-J Day in Times Square” would be replaced by the photo “B-J Day in William Way” featuring a man dressed in the Village People Sailor outfit performing oral sex on a transwoman in a nurses outfit. Waivers were signed to assure the act was consensual. POTW

Hell, who would you vote for? I'd go Garvey for sure.

When we went to EMR, we had to change our password every 90 days. For a while, mine was "CERNERSUCKS."

I remember when the earthquake hit Japan that damage the Fukushima nuclear plant. A friend was on a plane that landed in Tokyo at the EXACT time the earthquake started. They ended up sitting on the plane for about six hours before they were able to get off. I flew into Tokyo (Narita airport) the next day from BKK. Very limited flights in/out of the airport. Airport was running on emergency power. I remember how hot it was in the airport because no A/C.

Do they check arrest records, or only convictions?

@Doctor-Phibes Except for cats, obviously. He really fucked that bit up. That now brings us full circle. Lions are cats, big ones. Samson allegedly killed one when it was a kitten. Only bad people kill kittens and puppies, not supposed mythical fucking heroes.
