  • (Kent Brockman voice) JUST TAKE A SCREENSHOT, PEOPLE!!

    Aside from reading comprehension, it seems as though people absolutely lack the ability to problem solve. Head scratching is as far as many will go. I can’t count how many times I’ve found inefficient, tedious, or straight up broken systems or out of date info in my office and when I ask people if they’ve ever contacted IT about it or tried to figure it out they just say “Eh, nah, I just leave it and it works itself out.” No. My guy, you’re just doing it wrong/taking an extra 15 minutes to do everything you’re doing because of the workarounds.



  • Mm, I think what you’re likely arguing about is super contentious, AND complex. I agree that picking the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil (because it is, it says so right in the phrase!). That isn’t to say you’re necessarily endorsing the second evil, or that youre evil for making the choice. The world is fucked up and complex and no one is perfectly good.

    But yeah I think conversations around voting, especially in the US, are really difficult to have because people are extremely opinionated and none of us REALLY know what would happen if we stopped voting altogether, which makes a lot of people anxiously compelled to do it(such as myself)


  • I’m pretty decent with tech. I definitely know to turn things off and on again, check wifi connection, etc. I’m good with troubleshooting and such, but the IT person at my work who I interact with most treats me like I’m SO DUMB. But I try to remind myself that there are probably so many people who don’t know where the power button is on any of their devices lol.

    An example: I get logged out of an account on my computer, so I go to reset my password. The password reset requires an account number that I don’t have

    Message to IT: hey, I need to reset my password for this program, can you send me the account number for it?

    IT: on the main login page, beneath the password bar, there should be a link that says “forgot password?” Click that and you should be able to reset it

    Me: 😑 explains that if you click on that link it requires you to enter account number to reset it

    IT: oh



  • Most recently the complete lack of understanding of a wet bulb temperature comes to mind. In articles discussing this, people completely left out the “wet bulb” part, which they didn’t understand, and went on to post comments about “65 DEGREES IS NOTHING, IT REGULARLY GETS OVER 90 WHERE I LIVE!!!”. The audacity of some folks. It took me 5 seconds to Google wet bulb temperature to not look like a dumbass saying something like that with my whole chest lol









  • It’s like night and day…I don’t even think the kraft stuff is parmesan at all really. Still bomb on pizza though

    Ever since I worked at a hippie grocery store and was taught about what GOOD fresh organic food looks like and tastes like, it’s impossible for me to go back to things like that, or frozen bags of green giant veg, or pre sliced or shredded cheese and so on. I’ll still eat frozen pizza and nuggies and fast food but as far as cooking for myself, never again

    I get bored kind of easily depending on the food. Batch cooking and meal prepping are things I really want to do, though. Like having one or two Sundays a month where I just go crazy and drink beers and cook all day actually sounds fun…but then it’s the prep part (figuring out freezable recipes, buying the right amount of ingredients, making sure I have the right kind and amount of tupperware).

    At this point though even cooking one meal feels off the table, it’s wild. I’m hoping that the extreme aversion will just be a phase cuz I do love eating lol




  • Ah that’s fair, I actually liked bagging groceries when I was an actual courtesy clerk, unless the person was SUPER anal about how things got bagged. Like damnit I know it’s meats separate from veg separate from cleaning products and heavy to light from top to bottom!!! Don’t kill my vibe! Lol. I think it was more bothersome as a cashier to bag groceries, I’m super fast at cashiering so if it’s 3+ bags that will need to be done and the person is done paying and just staring at me the whole time…I just don’t get it. I’m a huge fan of efficiency though so maybe that’s more of a me thing
