That the governments of the world actively encourage conspiracy theories because in general they foster a belief that they are significantly more competent than they actually are.
I’m Australian and I want to drive across my country. But with a twist.
I want to grab my best friends, all fly to Perth (Far western Australia) on a friday. We each have $5000 and the weekend to buy a car and prep it for the 3900kms back to sydney.
Do our own stupid little top gear adventure.
In universe they are justified because Tyranids.
Tyranids won’t just kill every person on a planet, they will eat everyone, every animal, every tree, every insect and strip a planet back to the minerals and then do it again. They arent immoral because they have no morals.
In the face of that literally anything is justified even if it’s horrific.
Nah, thats not it.
The gourmet stuff just seems to be missing the whole point for me, not saying its bad Ive had some that were really good but they just seem to be missing the point. Its never going to be good for me nutritionally speaking, its not going to be served at a michellin star restaraunt. It’s Macaroni and Cheese. It’s like corn chips, I’m not saying that the gourmet Deli ones are bad, but they arent Doritos. That orange powder is delicious because it’s fake and engineered. I wouldnt make Nachos with Doritos but if your after that “Cheez” its whats right.
Well then they stopped bringing that version into Australia, its all shit now.
I maintain that Mac and Cheese is one of those foods that weirdly gets better the worse and more fake it is.
Ive had some gourmet shit and I always think “I miss the old Kraft one with the tinned cheese.”
There was a version where the cheese came in a can and it was fucking glorious, then they discontinued it and now its a powder and its fucking terrible.
So if I buy a pack and hang out with the smokers at work then I’m breaking even?
I worked with a guy that if he slept in or ran late for work tossed his gym gear on instead of his work clothes and ran into the office apologising and went to the bathroom to get changed.
People thought that he was a fitness NUT and he always stayed back to make up the time so he was called dedicated. In truth I knew he trained after work and regularly stayed up mega late playing COD and slept through his alarm.
Id say the one thing I kind of disagree with here is the emails. If I’m at my computer and the email says “Are you able to handle this 15 minute job for me by EOD?” I respond immediately “Yeah, I can fit that in.” and then go back to whatever it was I was doing and handle it later.
If someone is asking me to do a big job I dont reply immediately and go do some prep work for the big job and email them an hour later. “Not a problem, Ill get on it ASAP.”
If you respond and get tasks done immediately sometimes it makes them think you must be in the middle of something when you dont. When someone gives you a big task that will take 4 hours and they check in on you 3 hours after you reply to the email and you’re almost finished, it puffs up your ability.
But in general I agree, responding to emails is a great tool for managing perceptions and expectations.
Id say the arrest came as a response to the drink driving more than the being drunk at work. Sounds like she was smart enough to shut the fuck up and lawyer up.
She was drunk at work, her car was at work but unless you give them any more information than that the burden of proof is on them. If you admit that you hadnt had anything to drink since last night and literally anyone saw you driving to work BAM they have you. But “I want a lawyer” and say nothing else and they have to prove you didnt pound a water bottle of vodka in the carpark.
This is your friendly reminder to shut the fuck up when being questioned.
Some foods are surprisingly Macro friendly too. I eat more slices of American cheese than I thought it was possible to on a diet.
No way, Ive been on the antidepressant merry-go-round before. They were not a pleasant experience for me.
Chewing nicotine gum.
Havent had a smoke in years but trying to give the gum up means I turn into a raging asshole.
We even had limits like this when I was a postman.
If someone gave me a card at Xmas with some lottery scratch tickets or a gift card it was fine as long as the value was under $50. A coworker got in trouble at my facility about it because a nice old guy on his run gave him a thrashed and neglected early 90s dirtbike missing a bunch of parts because he wanted it gone and couldnt be bothered selling it and they had talked bikes before. The guy told his son he gave it to the postman and the son got it in his head that the postman must have pressured him into it but because he didnt declare it the postman got into a bunch of shit. The process exists to protect everyone involved.
I know a few people who have been hired back on as contractors when the company realised they went too far or laid off people with unique experience.
Yolo is for teenagers leaving Burger King naked.
I mean, I’m only reading the quotes and its laughably offensive. Like if you told me that was a sketch written by great comedy writers depicting an absolutely terrible comedian doing a bit Id say they went too far down stupid lane. Its so nuts it sounds like a parody.
Wouldnt it be amusing if everyone jumped on his facebook and asked him to review the Tec-9. I’m sure his depiction of what he thinks the average user of that gun would look and sound like wouldnt be at all horrifying.
Yeah but the comments were usually kind of a shitshow.
I honestly dont know or care.
I’m just some guy, I do what makes me happy, I do my best to be considerate but if my happy fucks up your day I dont care. If that isnt good enough for you, I still dont care.
