If I learned anything from all of the Sunday school my parents forced me to go to it’s that Jesus was a white dude with amazing abs.

After finishing the first episode of the show, I turned off the television and spent 20 minutes explaining why I refused to watch another second of it to my wife.

If Avowed is bad I’m going to be really disappointed. I love Pillars of Eternity and played hundred of hours of Grounded.

- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 1 month ago:
I know the courts upheld it in 2023. I haven’t heard of anything changing since then.
- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 1 month ago:
That argument is just a regurgitation of the propaganda that these people bought into. You can’t possibly know what would have happened because the law was voted down. I think that if those companies severely restricted the number of drivers they allowed, quality of service would decline and they would end up losing market share. In the end, there probably are somewhat fewer drivers, but those drivers are guaranteed to be making at least minimum wage plus mileage and access to health insurance.
- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 1 month ago:
I live in California where we attempted to pass a law that would force these companies to hire their drivers as employees. Every gig worker i know bought the corpo propaganda and voted against it. That was when I realized exactly how much of an education and media literacy problem we have in this country.

They’ll just take a page from the Trump playbook and start wearing diapers.
- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 1 month ago:
I wish I couldn’t stand the smell. It’s been a few years now but I still get regular cravings.

I grew up in a house with smokers, picked it up as a teenager and smoked a pack a day for 20 years after that. Now I can smell someone lighting up 2 blocks away.
It’s kind of crazy. As time passed without smoking, I noticed many things smelled differently to me. For example, I was repulsed by the smell of cheddar cheese the first time I smelled it after quitting. I can’t put it into words properly but it smelled so different from what I was expecting that the thought of taking a bite made my stomach turn.

I love French wine, like I the French language. I have sampled every language, French is my favorite. Fantastic language. Especially to curse with. Nom de dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d’enculé de ta mère. It’s like wiping your arse with silk. I love it.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 3 months ago:
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’ve never been more happy to he childless by choice.
- Comment on wrappers 3 months ago:
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.

- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 3 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Pretty sound reasoning here. 3 months ago:
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.

Thanks for that.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 4 months ago:
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 4 months 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.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 4 months ago:
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.
