Rule of thumb; if the job asks you to pay a dime for anything before you’ve gotten your first paycheck, it’s a scam. Even if they ask you to buy something and they’ll pay you back

Why not?

There is no intrinsic meaning to life, we are a random chemical reaction that is really, really good at propagating itself, and we’ve evolved to be so good at pattern recognition that we psychologically need to see patterns like meaning where none exist.

My response to that state of affairs is that I get to define the point of life for myself. Some days the point is to advance human knowledge. Some days it’s to protect people I care about. Some days it’s smoking enough weed to make a cloud visible from space. None of those have to sound even remotely reasonable to you because they are things that I’ve seen as the point of my life at various points in the past. Yours can be different, but I bet if you spend some time analyzing your values and what you believe in as a person you can probably identify a few things you find important enough to consider the point of life, even if only temporarily

You sound more like a Rage Tuned File Monster, or rtfm for short

It’s called garbage can, not garbage can’t

TIL that Dolly Parton entered in and lost a Dolly Parton lookalike contest at some drag bar in LA in 2012

But barrel, how am I supposed to baselessly feel superior to the people around me if I’m not enforcing arbitrary language rules despite knowing full well what people mean when they talk about there new haircut or or use new words like startup? I don’t care about effective communication, I care about an artificial hierarchy that I can place myself near the top of.

This is how you get the thoroughbred of sin riding across the nation

I used to have repeated ingrown problems with one of my big toes. The eventual solution was the doctor chemically burning my nailbed in that toe and now I don’t have a toenail there and it doesn’t grow back at all

Glad you like it :)

And hey, you never know. You’re a person on the internet I don’t know; I wouldn’t want to look like a fool in front of you and your deer furry lover if that happens to be your situation

With a reflective pool of water on the forest floor. Like the rest of us

Realizing that my father was a coward killing goat herders from a billion dollar jet, not a hero like I thought growing up.

My brothers wife. Started a conversation with me one day like “you know, my 2yo stepbrother has autism, and you don’t act anything like him. I don’t think you really have autism.” I’m sure our difference in behaviour is because I don’t have autism, not the fact that I’m literal decades older than him

I’m sure this is real and that guy is super talented, but I’d love to see a video of somebody who couldn’t do this but still had confidence because they thought the video would be edited so the bread didn’t all fall to the ground

At least it’s not forty cakes. That’s as many as four tens. And that’s terrible

Avatars are a psychological trick useful for building up sunk cost fallacy and making a user more likely to personally identify with a product. I don’t have social media avatars for the same reason I don’t have “nabisco” tattooed on my asscheek.

Both her and her paw are doing well! The only lasting damage is to her trust in me for making her take the antibiotics, lol. Here she is pouting at me because there were pills in her last treat

this is my girl at the vet. She’s got an infection on her right front paw. She’s really hoping to hide it from the doctor

I feel like I’m being admonished by a schoolteacher and honestly I probably deserve it. You’re probably right but I’m grumpy about it and need to re-read this later when I’m less grumpy about it
