Yeah that tip really only works for hardcopies, and handwritten ones at that.

I just wanted you to know that not only did your joke amuse me, but I have also forwarded it to several friends who I am almost certain will also enjoy it. Your joy is spreading throughout the world.

I was waiting for someone else to comment because I was hoping they would know and I just wanted to say that you really let me down, man.

This was like two years ago and I’ve never had an issue. Have some faith in humans.

I just taught my coworkers how to pirate shit. Fuck Disney.

And then half of them in any room are missing one knob or the other, a quarter are jammed, and a sixth are broken in some very specific way that has actually improved them somehow. Every start of every shift is a fucking cagematch in the fishbowl to get an unbroken or perfectly broken in chair. Don’t get me started on the mobile workstations. There’s only one that still gets tall enough to not fuck up my neck, and it’s the same one with the screen big enough for my aggressively elderly coworkers and I’m not that much of an asshole so if you don’t get the good one you just have to figure out which damage or fundamental design flaw you want to screw you mid-shift and I have an extremely unpredictable workload shift-to-shift.

Tbh I have no idea what I was trying to type now.

Reminds me of that guy that was trapped at the bottom of the sea for like 48 hours and when they realized he was alive the divers operator or whatever they call the guy on the radio from the base ship was just immediately like “Keep him calm! Keep him calm!” I’m just imagining the bitter irony of surviving 48h under the fucking ocean only to drown while excitedly panicking when help arrives (fortunately they did keep him calm and he did make it, just with some pretty horrific PTSD iirc).

She has all the love of being into kid’s media, but without that usual weird adult fandom shit where they get super mad that entertainment for 10 year olds doesn’t speak to the adult life experience. My partner watches her videos and she often comments in her reviews why a theme park is not set up correctly to entertain a child, since that’s usually supposed to be the main theme park demographic. So with Jenny you get all the warm fuzzy nostalgia (and she’s also very well read/learned about her subject matter!) without the toxic fandom bullshit. She will mention toxic fandoms such as bronies giving her shit at conventions for not being a real fan of my little pony as a girl who was the exact right age when the OG MLP was running.

We need to turn it off and on again.

Fun fact for anyone reading who doesn’t know: if you’re ever in the room while someone is being defibrilated, make sure you’re not touching them in any way. The electrical shock can stop your heart too!

My department only does this to brains though.

My favorite was the parent who told their kids their eyes change color when they lie. Now the kid closes their eyes real tight every time they lie.

I set mine to an innocuous background sound that only I will recognize like something small clattering on the floor or a small creaking noise. Its like a gun silencer, instead of making it silent you just make it sound like something else.

I have also found it important to either control which apps can send me notifications or control which apps are on my phone in the first place.

They’ll have to reverse the results soon: “we know you’re a bot because no human would ever be able to make sense of that!”

I might have looked it up. Even when I’m 99% sure something is a scam I often want to push a little further to understand more about how the scam operates but I don’t think I have enough skill or dedication to scambait properly.

It’s a chart flag/marker for which ones are intact! Can’t be putting the queens and studs together by accident.

I mean maybe I try not to use my credit cards all that often but like. You’d think there would be an email or something to let me know. I guess I could mark the date on a calendar but it’s not like they tell you their password turnover expectations at signup. You’d also think the person on the phone could help fix it in less than an hour. I swear that lady had to send me like 20 password reset codes because none of them would work. And you’d also expect that that password would continue working for more than a week. Honestly the experience was so frustrating I literally just canceled the card. I know it’s a credit ding but I have no use for a card I can’t pay off without going on an epic quest.

Ty for the brief historical perspective I’m sure it was a very shallow overview but it tied together a lot of the other stuff I’ve heard into a way that makes more sense.

Fwiw I’m also on strattera, but I’ve gotten the most help from lifestyle changes and study techniques. Stuff like making sure I always clip my keys and work badge to my work bag, and using optimal stimulation theory for everything from studying for school tests to paying attention in work meetings.

I interpreted this more as they medically can’t, such as having a heart condition, high blood pressure, or history of mania and/or psychosis.

I use one and have still had the same issue with multiple credit card sites. The password kept in the manager just stops working.
