I love Clickhole and The Onion.
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 2 days ago:
In the show Severance, you have a innie and a outtie. That’s me.
My innie is here to do the work and make money. Sometimes my innie hangs out with coworkers. Or acknowledge their major life event. But innie does marketing work and adds more garbage to the garbage pile.
My outtie has a family. He loves his family. He takes them to plays and dinners and outdoor events. He paints and watches lame TV. He tells his wife how beautiful she is, his kids how proud they make him.
Their two lives are separate. Innie is focused, driven, direct, and some what of an asshole to get the job done. Outtie is loving, spends time with his family, and paints.
Am I thick skinned? No. Innie is just willing to suck corporate dick and do a song and dance so outtie can enjoy life.

A great reason to move to the West Coast!

I saw a “update” button pop up on my screen. The IT guy ran over, shouted “WTF I turned that off! Fucking bullshit!” And he stormed off.
I think about that a lot.

I was really surprised how quick my kids fell in love with Super Mario 3(Super Mario All-stars).
Their cousin played the Switch version and my introduction led them to try and 100% all the classic 2D Super Mario games.

Only if you teach them. My son is playing casual games on Steam and emulated games.
While my son’s friends were talking about new Call of Duty/Fortnite updates. And they’re like 8yos.

You’re worried about child predators on Roblox.
I’m worried about my dummy kids taking my credit card and buying microtransactions.
(We are not the same meme)

Oh what a memory! I remember I was playing Sonic the Hedgehog, where my best friend was playing Zelda Lttp and my crush was playing Doom.
And yeah, when PS1 came out, suddenly we were bringing our own controllers to play Tekken. And then once in a while, go to our one buddy’s house to Oogle Dead or Alive 2 on Dreamcast.
- Comment on Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them 3 weeks ago:
I have been using standing desks since 2010.
Originally not by choice, because the only spot in the office that didn’t smell like farts was the high tops near the kitchen. The chairs weren’t very good and I was used to standing long hours anyways when I was a server.
I’m still using standing desks. And i love seeing standing desks everywhere.

My wife makes way more fart and dick jokes than I do.

The way it clicks for me is that it’s a juiced up auto-complete tool.

- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 4 weeks ago:
Man, I was on that manager side, having to lay people off because of some bad decisions from upper management.
I usually do everything I can, like give them recommendations letters, try to give them as much money as possible that they’re owed… Literally bend over backwards.
Everyone takes that news differently. One guy cursed me out, kicked some shit and stormed out. And I just got up and cleaned it all up because brother, I get it.

“Beep beep I’m a plane!”

Imagine that, but even louder, and moving on normal roads. Should be fun for everyone.
Of course it’ll be fun for me. Im in the airplane, getting to my destination on time.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 5 weeks ago:
There’s been two decades worth of lawsuits because PayPal has a history of withholding revenue and blocking stores from small e-commerce stores.
I’m talking about e-commerce sites selling a board game, making $40k in sales through paypal, and PayPal refuses to give them money.
PayPal’s stance has been, “Fuck you sue us.”
I’m not saying this because I think Peter Thiel, who was one of the creators of Paypal, is a fucking evil villain.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 5 weeks ago:
Loss of income is really difficult to sue for. Especially if you’re an indie company in another country, trying to sue an international company. You either sue locally, or open up a office in their nation.
And your case has to be rock solid.
Like tech companies still lose cases around loss of income, even when it’s obvious to the average person that the major company is going out of their way to stamp out competition.
- Comment on Y'ALL GOT ANY OF THEM HALLOPINERS 5 weeks ago:
On a road trip, I drove by a farm that sells "Sweet Cron’.
Thinking it was a mistake, I saw more signs bragging about the Sweet Cron they had. So definitely on purpose.

English is my only language and yeah.
- Comment on I explained economics to my nine year old 1 month ago:
This is my takeaway from listening to NPR Planet Money.
Economists are never sure about anything, because that’s not how the world works. They only give rough estimations based on the current data, and say words like “maybe” or “high possibility”.
They’re not sith lords.
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 1 month ago:
Working at big major companies, email/harassment campaigns work.
Some psychopath got the news journalists on my company because we didn’t have a giant American flag in our campus. We were getting hundreds of emails from randos, were getting review bombed online, and they were even sending letters to the CEO.
We called it flag gate internally. And after a month, there’s that stupid flag.
- Comment on mensa 1 month ago:
Yeah, no one “flashes a Mensa card” unless they are a jerk.
One time I made fun of people who do cross fit and someone at the table said “I do CrossFit.” Then I said, “It’s almost as annoying as people who flex over their AMEX card.” And another guy pulled out his AMEX card.
I regret not bringing up a Mensa Card.
- Comment on The next time you hear someone say they're just vibing in life without a job, just look at this image. 1 month ago:
I’m curious too!
Literally thought this was a meme about the travel influencers and those people who attend every concert without ever holding down a job.
- Comment on Why did AT&T think "Eye of Sauron" was the way to go? 1 month ago:
Love to see this grow.
- Comment on Choose wisely 1 month ago:
Like most kids, I was enamored by the 90s Disney animations. So while Pixar was dominating, I got a bachelor’s in 2D animation.
Graduated to no jobs. Animation work is shipped overseas. And the little animation jobs there are were concentrated in a few parts of the US.
Not once have I ever made any income from my background.
Been working on marketing for a decade adding more garbage to this world.
- Comment on Barbers HATE this one simple trick 2 months ago:
Makes sense, especially in this economy
- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 2 months ago:
In my twenties, I was a teacher. In my thirties, I said fuck that. System is so fucked.
In my state, there was a state level exam to qualify to become a teacher. I don’t know what Oklahoma’s is or what it looks like. What I do know is that it was as hard as the written portion of a drivers test.
Some people speedrun it. I had to take it twice because the phasing always gets me confused. But, it wasn’t difficult at all.
