  • Maybe he should buy Alphabet and rename their search engine.

    He'd probably do it because of his hatred for "aLphABeT PeOpLE!" like his own kid. That fucking prick. If he were on fire, I'd piss on him, but not at the base of the flames.

  • Polyamory is very cool for people who are wired for it. A whole lot of people aren't, and that's okay. And some people could be wired for it, but they have a whole lot of self-work to do before they'll practice it well.

    It works for me because I know that I never again want to presume any semblance of control or authority over any partner's absolute right to seek out joy and fulfillment by forming however many ethical and consensual relationships they wish, of whatever style they wish, with whomever they wish, for as long as they wish, and I insist upon the same right for myself.

    Jealousy is just not an emotion I experience. Envy, yes...envy being wanting what someone else has. When I see a partner of mine having a particular dynamic with another partner that I want to have with them, I feel envy. But not jealousy, which is not wanting someone else to have something of yours. That is, I don't feel anxiety about their other partner "stealing them away from me." Anything lacking between me and a partner has nothing to do with anyone else not in our relationship; if I feel something is missing between us or want things to be a certain way, it is incumbent upon me to speak up, and vice versa. Outside of our relationship, I cheer my partners on in their other connections because love is fucking amazing, man!

  • I consider it to have been a bad move.

  • Price guarantee. However, if we do raise our price...

    The ending to that sentence is always moot. You guarantee it. End of. If you don't follow through on that guarantee, you are a liar.

    ...if we do raise our price, you can cancel the service with no penalties.

    Mfer, you are gonna be the one paying penalties, see your ass in court.

  • Eat it with your hands? Not on my watch.

  • Oh dear, that must have massively disturbed profits for shareholders.

  • “Again, we want to make clear our unreserved apology to Anna Landre and we are making every effort to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”

    That's the thing though, isn't it? The entire point of her advocacy...of anyone's advocacy when it comes to their disability...is for able-bodied people to think ahead to make sure that the same services they enjoy and places through which they can travel can also be accessed by disabled people as well.

    Apologizing ex post facto and "making every effort to ensure this doesn't happen again" really just means "we'll make sure we have ramps available next time." It doesn't mean they are committing to choose well-contrasting colors in their documentation for ease of reading for color blind people, or that as a matter of habit they will have sign language interpreters on call for every event, or any number of other things. The "Oops, We Dun Goofed" apology promise is almost always just to not to do that particular goof no more.

  • The Feels Good guy has a stick figure hand sticking up out of his arm. I cannot unsee it, and I suspect now neither can you.

  • Holy shit, this is classic. The next time I let my ADHD get the better of me and I accidentally click on a link in a spoof phishing email (and, yes, try to log in to whatever account they told me there was a problem with because I'm an idiot, you're so perfect, shut up) sent as a test by the IT department which results in them requiring me to take some KnowBe4 refresher course, I'm sending them this article and telling them "This one is a freebie."

  • It's wild the kinds of shit that run genetically in a family. And I'm not just talking about stuff like alcoholism, which my family has in spades. My two teenage kids and I are each left-handed, non-binary, and autistic.

  • My oldest just graduated high school a year early. She wants to move with me to Portland to get her degree in psychology there. However, because her mother is still her legal guardian for another year until June 2025, she is refusing to allow her to do so and is, instead, forcing her to go to college in Texas four and a half hours away from home. She is transgender and being forced to take classes at a college she doesn't want to attend in a small Texas town, all because her mother is so god-damned insecure that she can't bear the thought of her child wanting to live with her other parent instead of her. My kid doesn't have the courage to stand up to her mom right now, and it breaks my fucking heart. But at least when she turns 18, she will be free to make her own choices, and she's told me she's definitely moving to Portland with me next summer.

    Suffice it to say that my ex-wife is a fucking monster, and I sincerely doubt her kids will want much of anything to do with her as adults.

    My youngest (also trans, they/them) is on track to graduate two years early and with an associate's degree. They also want to move to Portland to live with me, and thankfully they have no problem standing up to their mom.

  • Think about the great publicity this would have brought for practically nothing had they played along and even made him an offer on the toy car?

    I know that they sometimes say "any publicity is good publicity", but I wouldn't want to use their service now that I know they can't roll with a joke.

  • I CAN'T SPELL YOU!

  • I grew up in Arlington, TX and can confirm this is true. For our field trip every year, we'd go to the Southwest Airlines warehouse and take the tour. And by "tour", I mean we'd wait 15 minutes outside while our teacher got our wristbands, and we'd go in and look at the Commodore 64. Then we'd leave and eat our sack lunches.

    OH...and the guy didn't have a mini-bat. It was full size, and any snotty 10-year-old getting his grubby little hands anywhere near ol' Tandy 400, he'd go "Uh uh uh!" and point at the bat.
