They don’t understand a lot. For whatever reason, higher management still thinks things are like a factory, and you just build your software like building a car.
Why? Because that’s the only way they know in the world of MBAs. They can’t speak any other language than “product.”

Oh it gets better than that. The “curfew” was supposed to apply to non-residents only. Homeless, credentialed journalists, and homeless were exempted.
Doesn’t look that way to me.

I stepped outside today. Coughed. Coughed again. Went back in to grab my inhaler, as my chest was already starting to tighten up. Took it. Decided not to go back outside.

In my ex’s case, she was well aware of it. Apparently she “practiced it” since she was a child because she got sick and tired of being told to “smile” and that no one looked good frowning all the time. Self-proclaimed resting bitch face model too.
While she could take off and on this mask, it was incredibly draining to do it. But she also couldn’t not do it. It was weird.
Unfortunately for her, she also couldn’t comprehend the emotions of other people at all, and failed to grasp why I might be upset that she cheated on me, and why I might be more than happy to cut her off from the financial security that being married to me provided.

I don’t use a customer service voice, but my ex, holy shit did she have a customer service voice that she did automatically. I hated it. High pitched, overly friendly, clearly lying about who she was.
Drove me nuts. Shed use it for meeting people the first time too, and the longer she used it the friendlier they became, which reinforced it and ugh.

To be fair, ive seen what the ocean can do to carbon fiber tubes. If it can do that and still not compress, its pretty damn incompressible.

I do miss doing that to my ex-wife. There were those small things that I can’t enjoy being single. Well. For now.

I guess where I’m sitting I’m not looking at those cars to go fast and turn left some times in.
I just wanna drop my kid off in a car that would have caught my attention.
Like all the doctor and business parents around here drive a Lexus NX or a Lincoln Corsair.
But if I showed up with like an LC 500 or like even the new electric Challenger it would catch my attention. Not that I can afford either, but it’s fun to look at the numbers being just out of reach.

For the most part I’d agree with you. I’ve figured out that some dealerships have stock of particular models they are having a hard time selling. Last year it was the Ford Lightning, and recently it was the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T. Idk exactly why they offer these special leases, but like the Charger was a $590/mo lease for 7500mi/yr max. I probably put like 5k on my current car, and since I’m looking at midlife crisis cars, that one is attractive to me since the others in that range are like $800/no for the same price.
It’s some tax thing. The benefit is that if the car has pretty shit reliability the dealer is on the hook for maintenance. So a lot of the mid-life crisis cars are perfect for leasing if you don’t drive a lot anyway.
