  • Had a boss mad at me once, shout/ask if I was autistic in front of the whole department.

    Told him, "I was never tested, but being on the spectrum wouldn't surprise me - now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go have a chat with

    <Head of HR>

    "

    It was a children's hospital too, our area had artwork painted by autistic patients for autism awareness.

    It became very clear, very quickly with why he has never been allowed to see his grandchildren. His poor kids had to put up with his shit for 18 years, I used that as a reason to go back to a previous job where I was much happier as soon as I heard a spot was open.

  • Don't forget the little things, like relationships.

    My wife (after nearly 10 years) is beginning to work with me on things.

    I've told her countless times that if she just gives me a verbal list of tasks, I'll handle one, maybe two if they're small, and the rest is gone.

    Text me. Email me. Write it down. Let me reference it later. I'm not trying to get out of

    <Insert Chore>

    I honestly got distracted and forgot. Why was I distracted? Well, there are 11 animals in this house, not to mention phones and computers and TVs and yeah.... Plus, any time I try to accomplish anything, she tries to add more to the list (verbally) and it fucks me all up.

    A list. Simple, succinct. If I run out of shit to do, I'll let ya know.

    Its hard some days.

    I've literally gone out to a corner store to pick up wine for later, and had her text me adding crap, and I never wound up getting the wine. Totally forgot.

    That was why I left the house in the first place. It was the only place I had planned to go!

  • Why incels take the “Blackpill”—and why we should care

  • I lived on the street next to a high school.

    The primary entrance to both the high school and the rest of the neighborhood was appropriately named Funnel.

    Getting out of the neighborhood was sometimes the longest part of my journey, and that was driving from the suburbs into downtown on a notoriously traffic ridden (and always under construction) freeway - they liked to close exits with little to no notice sometimes requiring massive rerouting. Was late a couple times because of that, but the traffic right at the start of the commute was the worst.

    A combination of high schoolers who can't drive, and half asleep parents who need more caffeine or less kids - probably both - as well as pedestrians and kids on bikes. I don't know about your area, but cyclists in that area did not abide by traffic laws and no one stopped them, so they kept doing it. More than a few people died at that crossing in the ~5 years I lived there.

    Thankfully, I usually only saw it bad on my way home in the morning (medical IT, I worked nights).

    Covering some other shifts though? Whew, I had to leave at least 30 minutes earlier than I would for a night shift.

  • Just taunting you at this point

    Jump

  • I wouldn't say ALL cats check the physics before leaping.

    I mean, they're impressive as a group... but individual outliers exist. My wife and I have 4 of them, lol.

  • "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda

    Jump

  • I mean, the US put out the game America's Army as a recruitment tool.

    Passably decent multiplayer shooter for its time. Good enough to kill some time with.

  • 'No one voted to deport moms': Pro-Trump town regrets its choice

    Jump

  • Don't forget most likely selling government and military secrets to countries that have a very violent history with us, and recently.

  • What's your favorite sport to watch or play?

    Jump

  • Play: Hockey, at least in theory. I'm a lot older and more beat up than I was back then, lol.

    Watch: I guess hockey? I dunno, I enjoy going to games. I more watch because its on somewhere, or other people wanted to watch, or whatever. I don't really watch sports on my own.

  • Sorry, Cthulhu -- you'll always be my number 2

    Jump

  • I'm not a practitioner, but I've done a lot of reading on Voodoo.

    African, Haitian, and New Orleans.

    Often, at least in Haiti and New Orleans, Catholic saints are matched with a particular Loa (spirit, god, whatever you wanna call it)

    This was due to Voodoo practitioners being killed for not being Christians in Haiti. Thus, they could worship Saint whoever visually, while still interacting with their own faith. It just traveled to the new world as people did.

    The process is called Syncretism, and Voodoo is hardly the first or last instance of it happening.

    As you mentioned, the church has done this too.

    Easter? Eostre was a fertility deity associated with spring and rabbits.

    Christmas? Yule.

    It goes on.

  • Wait wait wait, did Judaism invent the basic concept of a checksum?

    That is... very interesting. I know numerology and the like are very popular parts of Jewish occultism.

  • Forget the names, look at ALL the tools.

    Thanks, bookmarked. I don't have a group right now, but that is damn handy.

  • We always imagine personal defense weapons as a hand held point shoot thingy. If anything was possible what alternatives could you think of?

    Jump

  • Put it in front of a group of DND players, or any other table top RPG really.

    They'll weaponize it before the session is over.

    Then again, I'm mostly excited about using CUDA cores for cracking hashes and the like, lol.

  • I think you're trying to lead them on too much.

    Obviously, you want to see chaos, explosions, fire, and mayhem. Of course you do, so do I, and if its in the process of destroying a fascist foreign interloper who somehow gets a pass for being an illegal immigrant from this joke of an administration, then all the better.

    Bury the lede a bit. Let them think they came to that conclusion.

    People don't like being overtly manipulated. Covertly is a different matter.

  • Bachelor Chow slabs, anyone?

    Jump

  • Yeah, now he jerks it out of spite.

    Totally throws the subtle flavors off.

  • Some wrinkles, some grays... Well, a lot of grays in the beard.

    I got a genetic double whammy. Baldness on my mom's side, and my dad (and his father and brother) were gray by 25.

    That being said, I blame it mostly on a certain group of people I can't seem to escape.

    They make my life more difficult at every turn.

    Their mere existence is guaranteed to give me a head ache down the line.

    Of course I'm talking about youthoughtthiswasgoingtoberacist end users.

  • minor tomfoolery 🛻💨🎶

  • Anybody have a pic of the underside of a Cybertruck? Need to scope out a place with airflow but limited visibility.

    There is at least one asshole in my general area who needs a come-uppance.

  • Correct

  • My last gig was using Teams as its call handler. As in for the help desk.

    I'll just leave it at that.

  • Yep, seen them in Dallas and Fort Worth too.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day"

    Jump

  • I felt that way about CyberPunk 2077 and CDPR.

    CDPR hadn't let me down. Yet. Ultimately, they redeemed themselves, sure, but at launch.... whew, there were issues.

    Game companies CAN redeem themselves. Business wise though? Its hard to recoup that kind of shaken faith in investors, board members, etc; let alone the people you're actually trying to sell to.

    There are so MANY fucking games out there these days, that I'll look at something new, and decide I don't like certain elements of the gameplay, and just move on.

    If a feature looks more frustrating than fun? I'm good, thanks.

    I've played hard games on the hardest setting for the challenge. I've also played "easy" just to get drunk and enjoy a story.

    If it isn't fun though? Then what am I doing here?

    I already spend 8+ hours a day on the computer and hate it, but at least they pay me.
