I love steamed clams!

Howdy-do, fellow minute-man!

If your dick can't do the walking, let your tongue do the talking.

Memory recall is the worst for me. Long-term or short-term, cognitive; all bad.

  • Did you remember to grab your laptop on your way to work? Nope.
  • Do you remember going to the movie theater, sitting in your seat, and watching the new animated Adams Family movie with your family? Nope.
  • Did you move that load of towels from the washer to the dryer four days ago? Nope.
  • Did you remember your wife's name after fifteen years of marriage when introducing her to your new coworkers? Nope.
  • Do you remember the word for that super simple thing? It's literally the opposite of down, and you should definitely not be stumbling on this word because we're on a conference call. Nope.

Wow. This comments section reads like 50 various versions of Colin Robinson, all swarming on this very post. Every single one of them finding a way to be more pedantic or curmudgeonly than the other.

I hope you didn't accidentally fall out of a window.

I have over 1500 cumulative hours invested in No Man's Sky and Minecraft respectively. I am a casual gamer. I started playing Minecraft in 2012 and NMS in 2017.

Some email services will let you append arbitrary strings to the end of your email address with a +. Whenever a sales associate asks for my email to sign up for discounts, I give them email+spam@provider.com. I love the looks I get for that.

I suppose it depends on your tastes, but I read Pitchfork reviews and check out the artits on Spotify. I do not limit my tastes to one genre, so that makes it more interesting when exploring. I'll also leverage the Related Artists section of an artist's page if I find a new artist that I like.

I have been laid off from every job (5 in total) since the pandemic. We are a subhuman commodity. Companies that are hiring now are exploiting the market by offering lower salaries.

Meta and Amazon are in their hiring season and they'll start their layoffs again next spring or summer. And somehow, everyone forgets this fucked up cycle keeps happening in perpetuum.

We need to stop being afraid of mentioning the U word. We need better protection and rights as employees.

Engineering is a skilled trade. We need our own union like every other skilled labor group.
