  • First day of my honeymoon, wife and I are sitting down with a drink, my old boss called me and asked real nasty, "I just wanted to know if you were planning on coming in today."

    Uh...no?

    Why not?

    The ship I'm on is literally leaving port right now. I'm about to not even be in the country. I'm on my honeymoon?

    So there's no possible way for you to come in today?

    Not unless you send a helicopter and come here on it to explain to my very angry wife why I'm not going to be here on our HONEYMOON...

    Well I have you down as working here today. In the future, you're supposed to inform us 2 weeks in advance before using your vacation time. You can't just decide to not come in.

    We discussed this in person 6 months ago. I gave you the required form myself at that time. You signed it and gave me a copy, which is sitting on my desk at home. I'll see you in two weeks.

    Alright and when you get back we can have a meeting about properly notifying supervisors when you intend to take long periods of time off...

    God, what a miserable asshole she was.

  • Now there's a video I wish I could unsee decades later.

  • Streaming didnt exist in 1970

    Jump

  • I think it was RealPlayer for me. I remember finding different sites and praying the connection was alright. That they were at least close enough in the world that you didn't see that awful word, "Buffering..." Then I learned how to rip the whole rt file. Pretty sure I still have Trigun in rt actually...

    Then once Winamp had video streaming, I remember surfing through crap on there all the time. Sooooo many weird foreign movies and anime...

  • Iran appears to have conducted a significant cyberattack against a U.S. company, a first since the war started

    Jump

  • It's entirely possible for there to be no good guys in a war. This is just one piece of shit despot attacking another. Cheer for neither, pray for us all.

  • 'Extraordinarily dark' town swaps out light bulbs to gain dark sky certification

    Jump

  • When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, we spent a night at sea in what's supposed to be one of the darkest places in the Carribean on the same night there was a shuttle launch. I was so supremely excited to see the true sky. Literally a once in a lifetime experience.

    We got hit with a storm. The launch was scrubbed. We spent the night restricted below deck, trying to navigate hallways that almost felt like you could walk on the walls. It was an amazing trip, but I'm still bummed about that night.

  • Suddenly, Inigo Montoya rushes in and stabs you for killing his father.

  • EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN

    Jump

  • EA just doing what it's always done... Got it.

    That's always been their practice, use up a team until they don't think they'll get anything more from them, then shutter them. You don't go to work for EA for the job security. You work for them because you need a stepping stone...

    ...Or they bought your studio.

  • How do people survive in America? This is with insurance!

  • We don't. Thanks Nixon. Thanks Ehrlichman. Thanks Kaiser. And thanks Hilary too. Even Obama was helpful to the scheme.

  • A security violation? From the guy who said "You're the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it's declassified, even by thinking about it." during an interview? From the administration that accidentally texted it's plans to bomb Yemen to a journalist 2 hours before the attack? You mean the guy that tweeted photos from a satellite so classified, the last guy that leaked photos from it was sent to jail for espionage? The guy that stole hundreds of classified documents and destroyed an unknown number more? Nah...

  • FedEx sues for refund of Trump tariffs, days after Supreme Court ruling

    Jump

  • Oh no... It's not just once... They passed the rate of the tarrifs on to us, now they'll recoup the cost that WE paid, AND they'll continue to charge us at those increased rates even if the tarrifs are lifted.

  • Star rupture on sale. It's only $20 to begin with, heh

  • It's on the roadmap, but not yet. It doesn't look like the new content update will have it yet either.

  • Chrono Trigger had a similar effect on me, where Magus seemed like he just had to be the BBEG... Then you realize that was just the first drop on the rollercoaster.
