I have lost my job to wider cuts a few times myself and on reflection, I think I prefer being “aligned” or “realigned” inasmuch as it makes me feel like a cool laser satellite. But I am not immune to the frictive charms of being “restructured”, which makes me feel like a Transformer

I absolutely love the comments on RPS. It’s hits like these which makes me keep coming back.

I regret not making friends with the neighbors who owned chickens. They’re sitting on bird gold.

In a room full of dickheads, it’s often the loudest dickhead that gets their way. Often it’s the CEO.

Pretty much. These commenters seem to believe engineers are given all the resources needed to deliver everything in time in perfect condition.

Absolutely! In my college, girls with messy buns and sweat pants WAS the fashion.

Maybe not that early, and also not everything.

When we met, I was obsessed with collecting dead bugs and in retrospect, I kinda sucked at it and it was gross. I didn’t tell her about it until a few years later and she laughed at it. But had I told her about it at the start, I dunno.

My wife also hid her Tarot cards collection. For good reason too… At the time, I was extremely bitter at the state of Collectable card games and was trashing everything. But a few years later when I wasn’t such an asshole about it, I accepted her hobby.

People who are so used to getting everyone to stop what they’re doing get upset when they aren’t the center of attention.

I just realized I have no idea who pays for Let’s Encrypt. I just run the server commands, automate it, and move on.

Me, as a American: Huh, we just set up camps in Guantanamo Bay to pick up immigrants? That’s fucked up.

Also Me, as a American: China does some shit with the uyghu? That’s fucked up.

Society: (ignoring Guantanamo bay) Yeah fuck China!

Also me, as a American: openAI stole art. Wow.

Also me, as a American: Deepsink stole from OpenAI? Hilarious.

Society: Hey fuck you for supporting China! You can’t even write Tiananmen square on there! Winnie the Pooh! Winnie the Poooooooh!

Happy to hear my job said they didn’t have plans to remove anything. But it’s not on paper/expressed on the news yet. Here’s hoping.

In my 20s, this girl I met was vomiting from both ends from a bad night of partying, and I was there taking care of her. She ugly-cried about how other guys left her in her mess.

We’ve been married for more than a decade.

After watching Trump boost his crypto scams, I absolutely believe that the X wallet or whatever has the means to successfully fleece morons.

Why is the Tennessee GOP praising Infamous Liberal Adolf Hitler then?

“Haha Democrats, Republicans… They’re all the same! Haha. Haha. Ha. Ha…”

(me wishing CVS/Rite aid/Walgreens didn’t destroy all the mom and pop drug stores)

Who are those 15%?

And why aren’t they pushed into the ocean?

Looks so cool that I want to keep it contained in glass and left in a museum.

There was that tweet from a few years ago about how so many old ladies on their death bed would confess to killing their husbands.

I’m starting to piece it all together.

Thanks Donald.

Hey you should never celebrate cops killing somebody who…

Oh? You mean the Jan 6 terrorists who literally attacked cops and then got presidential pardons? Those guys?

Oh yeah okay then.
