Certified crazy cat dude.

There has been some recent research that show “moderate” drinking every day still alters the chemistry of the brain. Specifically it messes up your cortisol production so that you feel more stressed when sober. Thus the new mantra that no amount of alcohol is healthy.

There was a period about 8 years ago where I met really reliable recruiters, all the jobs I had in my early career I had because of recruiters. Now, in the last 5 months, I’ve been ghosted by every recruiter I’ve talked to except one (who turned out to be a super nice guy, but the position closed without being filled).

True, jumping spiders are in their own category imo. Like, too different to be scary. I feel the same way about harvestmen spiders, they’re too goofy looking to be scary. Like a hair snarl that came to life and just derps around looking for bugs.

The fast is the thing that bothers me the most. I don’t mind spiders so long as they stay off my body, and when they’re fast like this lil bugger, the time between “off my body” and “potentially on my body” is too damn short.

I was gonna make a “cops = dumb” joke but I think there’s actually something wrong with this guy.

I once went to a beer festival with my friends and brought a backpack full of waters, snacks, sanitary wipes, sunscreen, and ibuprofen. They called me “mom” the whole day; at the time I was a 28yo dude with a beard. But ya know what! Nobody got sick or sunburned.

So by this logic, since humans cannot be omnipotent, we can never truly be good, and therefore are condemned to hell anyway. What a cool and fair system, God.

I’ll take Lucifer’s side on this one.

Yeah but it seems like we should have been able to make the bad parts better without making the good parts dumber.

Stuxnet targeted control units for machines doing physical work. Basically it took stuff like “turn this many RPMs per minute” and changed it to “turn RPMs til you fall apart.” It was made to target plants refining nuclear material, but lots of manufacturing uses the same kind of control units. Once it got out into the wild, it causes a lot of problems for all kinds of manufacturing. I worked IT at an industrial bakery after Stuxnet and my boss told me even they had issues with it.

Eh, kind of. In nature this is true, but not so much with agriculture and factory farming. Tons of pro athletes perform at the edges of human ability without any animal protein.

I’ve smoked maybe 2 packs total in my life, last cigarette was over a year ago. I still have dreams about buying cigs. Criminal how addictive that shit is

Yeah I’d be a way better student now than I was at 20. I’m older and more focused, but I was also struggling with depression back then. College was more like a “had to” than a “want to.”

I mean, I think about lady dicks a lot, but I have a thing. Only, I don’t mind admitting it. At least not on the internet, anonymously.

I’d really appreciate it if y’all could find a way to annex Minnesota, sos I don’t have to move.

I have two black cats names Huginn and Muninn. Their personalities don’t fit the names though. Huginn is wicked smart and just as mischievous, Munnin is half stuffed animal and similarly has fluff for brains.

The day to day “nice” is pretty backhanded, but in my experience lots of MN/Midwest folks will drop everything if a neighbor is truly in dire straits. Acts mean in a way that sounds nice, is also actually nice.

No escape condition, got caught in a loop. Cats are robots confirmed.

I recently learned that hitting the Amazon best sellers list means you might get one or two thousand in royalties. Authors who make a living writing are like the top 1% of the top 1%.

My company has a big focus on avoiding burnout. Just yesterday my boss told me “being sick doesn’t count as time off. You still need to take vacation”

It’s edited down to include just the misogyny, but yeah the original cartoon was like 50% shots at women.

It’s Rammstein, I’m not sure the exact song but it’s recent. Either their latest album or the one before that.

I was going to argue that you don’t need to be rich to own a small sailing yacht, but then I thought to ask my gf who grew up sailing with her grandfather. Turns out, yeah you kinda do need to be rich. Just renting a slip for the boat is stupid expensive.

There is nothing in this world that could convince me to put a chip in my brain that Elon Musk could access.

I mean, except for the episode where Hermes limbo’d under the oven. Otherwise, yes.
