If your friend’s car looks like this, check on them. When my car was that bad it’s because my mental health was in the gutter.

I’ve got a stack of old 14.4 modems I’ll sell them if they’ll grift on that for a bit.

Theoretically? Maybe. If a critical mass of people started voting in primaries for candidates who promise that then followed through with voting in the general. Then primaried them the second they veered off the path.

In reality? That’s not going to happen. Moneyed interests, entrenched systems, lying jackasses, and low information voters will stand in the way.

They don’t do that to me because I’m a contractor who they me more than I need them. However…

I’ve seen this exact thing play out several different ways. My favorite recurring one: “Why didn’t you respond on slack/why were you offline?” (Always over some bullshit that could wait or that someone else could have handled).

“I worked the maintenance window last night because you said this non production change couldn’t be done during the day”

“Well you should still be monitoring in case there’s an emergency!”

This is the answer. And the C levels renting from these spaces are absolutely invested in the companies that lease the space.

I’ve seen it even more incestuous as well. CEO buys building for kids and lets other C levels get in on it. The company rents a space. Everyone at C level agrees it’s the best space because they can get a sweetheart deal on rent for the company. Company pays for space, money flows back to C Suite and CEO doesn’t have to pay for kids’ lifestyles anymore.

There’s a very nice office building like that down from me, except it’s CEOs cousin or nephew or something. It came out when they started pushing for RTO as soon as they could.

Must be nice getting C level salary, a little extra in your bonus for getting a sweetheart rental deal, and passive income from being a partial owner of the building your company rents from.

That’s interesting.

I hope many people who you find attractive (or if you’re monogamous then your person) send you those pictures to enjoy in response to your excellent answer!

Ok, I have a question. Let me preface this by saying I’m actually not planning on sending nudes to anyone.

Does it have to be that specifically, or are you looking for someone to incorporate their passion into sending you nudes? Like oh, I’m working on a motorcycle in my garage, but seem to have forgotten my clothes! Or I was sleeping nude and dreamed a nice riff so I ran to my music studio with instruments and controllers in the background! You can see I’m passionate about it by the acoustic treatment on my walls and delicate mood lighting that helps me get into a creative headspace. My dog is sitting in a chair behind me, judging me silently.

Someone beat something to it for sure.

Same. Full Moon Productions, Asylum, Troma…I love them all.

Before 41, none of them. After? Everything.

I was in the Navy and I can corroborate this. I’ll add to it that a lot of our teachers at A school were O-1 to O-3 (Ensign to Lieutenant) and they were pretty cool. We used to mess with them from time to time when they left the building by lining up and making them salute all the way to the parking lot. They were good sports.

I thought it was just Peter Criss going through some shit.

Finally, a return to normalcy.

Yeah, we’re boned.

I’m in Texas, so mine currently says “Free Porn Here”. In the past it was always some snarky bullshit. My buddy’s is “FBI Mobile Team” or something similar. I think he’s had one about the DEA in the past.

So nothing funny or clever about Wi-Fi or networking, but definitely not normal names.

King Saul wanted 100 Philistine foreskins before he’d let David marry his daughter. He didn’t think David would be able to do it and didn’t like him. David, ever the overachiever, brought him 200 foreskins.

How cumbersome.

Ha, yeah. I wasn’t thinking about it. It’ll just stay as a list starting with 400 then.

You’re awesome for letting me know for next time.
