Which started and was pushed as an anti-union thing, much like ‘right to work’ which is a state-wide rule that says you can work somewhere with a union without joining said union - which increases number of workers for less pay, weakens the union itself via lost dues and bargaining leverage, and encourages rhetoric against organized collective bargaining.

I used to have an adjustable one but they stopped making them that way I guess

I love my little electric lighter, I consider it a clean upgrade. But for about ten years I’ve had the same metal clipper lighter (butane, refillable) and just replaced the flint again so it feels fresh.

So basically those are the two types of addiction. Iirc there’s either chemical or mental addiction where you can develop a dependence in either or both.

By injecting acid at the site right before measuring, allegedly.

We used to call the trip from dimetapp as ‘being in the fish tank’ because it was like being in water but standing in the kitchen. Wild dream-like hallucination is spot on.

They’re rare but I used to see them like 1:3 visits to random gas stations on a road trip getting fresh boiled peanuts

No idea on the first word, but ‘the oval’ is basically presidential slang for the Oval Office.

I hate it when my reflection installs things weird around the house.
- Comment on I'll take 20 1 week ago:
I had a neighbor whose house is wired in such a way that if they don’t have a certain light in the master bedroom’s closet turned on, one of the garage doors (they had a double) won’t function at all.
- Comment on How accurate is this? 1 week ago:
Right so in the jumpscare genre you use psychological trick, and in the psych horror genre you use jumpscares on shoplifters and bad customers who can wait an extra minute for their help.
You don’t have to jump out on them, though. One time I had this guy SCREAMING about his order when there was a huge line and he was like #3, yeah? Well he was there for about an hour and while he was ranting at 300Db about how I never do my job yards yadda I had a colleague go get his fridge. He was waiting for that hour impatiently and I kept reassuring my team this would be worth the wait.
Anyhow he goes and gets someone to fetch their supervisor so I walk up once I’d been called.
WHERE IS MY ORDER IVE BEEN HERE FOR 2 HOURS‽‽
sir by my account, you’ve been leaning on it for the last 45 minutes. Your order is already completed in the system and the invoice is printed and on top of the box, do you need help loading it or finding anything else today?
He just screams like Tarzan and starts to push it outside. 5 minutes later quietly shows back up in my now-much-shorter line and sheepishly asks for help loading it.
TLDR: I also like to play ‘ruin my night, I ruin yours.’
