I’m childless by choice because I don’t like children. I’m happy I don’t have kids because they’d be experiencing this shit storm during their formative years and I can’t even imagine how badly that would fuck them up.

I think spiders are cool. I also have a completely irrational fear of them. I don’t understand it, I don’t have any clue where it came from, but spiders cause me to feel fear in a way unlike anything else in this world. I took it completely in stride when a doctor told me I “might not be ok” while looking at my xrays after a car accident in if I see a spider crawling across the bathroom floor while I’m pooping I’ll break out in cold sweats. I like to think that I’m a pretty rational person so this drives me crazy.

I grew up in upstate NY so I’m no stranger to deer. This was something else. We were driving through the Winding Staircase mountain and there were hundreds of them. My wife kept screaming and grabbing my arm while I was driving until I had to stop in the middle of the (empty except for us and the deer) road to calmly explain that she was making the situation significantly worse.

A lot of people in that thread have never seen Looney Tunes. If they did, they would have learned 3 vital facts about physics:
-
A finger in the barrel of a gun will stop a bullet and cause the gun to explode.
-
Gravity cannot effect you until you acknowledge that you are not on solid ground.
-
Being crushed by a heavy object falling from a great height (think and anvil or piano) will cause to to collapse like an accordion until you are re-inflated.
These are basic scientific facts everyone should know in the modern age.

I drove through rural Arkansas at sundown once. I’ve never seen so many deer in my life.

I wouldn’t go that far. There are people on here that would call me a monster for just being middle management.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 3 weeks ago:
The current argument I’m involved in is about an online platform that people can use to give recognition to each other. HR is telling me to give my team negative performance reviews for not using it regularly.
They love to remind me that there’s an app that everyone can install on their phone. The thing is, my team aren’t allowed to use their phones at work. So, the goal is to get them to tell me in writing that using this online platform is mandatory and that my hourly staff has to do it off the clock or face repercussions which is illegal.

That’s the goal.

As a middle manager in a corporate hellscape, one of my few joys in life is setting logic traps for HR and making them choose between admitting company policy is bullshit or directly instructing me to violate labor laws.

Your comment very much reminds me of an episode of 30 Rock in which Liz Lemon starts dressing like an old crone and acting crazy on the subway to secure a place to sit.

- Comment on Staggering Incompetence: Biden's Commerce Secretary Is "Not Familiar" With The Bureau Of Labor 2 months ago:
Yes, it is inaccurate. She said she was unfamiliar with a specific report not the entire bureau. It’s pretty valid to attack an unreliable source but that makes up 99% of conservative media doesn’t it?
- Comment on Even cnn calls Biden’s lies out 2 months ago:
Well, you’ve successfully proven that you cannot argue in good faith so this will be my last attempt at conversing with you like a human being. I said our leaders should be patriotic globalists. You denied that the definition of nationalism that you provided exists and proceeded to put words in my mouth.
I’d report you but you’re the only active mod.
- Comment on Even cnn calls Biden’s lies out 2 months ago:
All I did was rephrase the definition of nationalism that you provided.
Isolationists don’t want to engage in relationships with other nations. Nationalists, according to the definition you provided, prefer to engage in relationships that are beneficial to their country while being detrimental to others.
I’ll give you another chance to defend your position that nationalism, which by definition includes a preference for taking actions that are exclusionary and detrimental towards others on a global scale, is a good thing.
- Comment on Even cnn calls Biden’s lies out 2 months ago:
especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations
It’s 2024 and I’m certain that you are smart enough to understand that we live in a global economy these days. Do you really believe that it’s a good idea to make a point of excluding amd harming the rest of the world? Does is it not make more logical sense that thinking long-term and globally is better for your nation in the long term?
They are synonyms, you’ll even find the word patriotism in some definitions of nationalism. The difference is that the definition of patriotism never mentions extremism or harming other countries.
We need leaders that are capable of thinking globally and acting patrioticly.
