One 4 cups of cheese, got it.

I attend quite a few meetings where I don’t know what the hell is going on so I just look for opportunities to make jokes.

Agreed. Employees should also have ownership in the company via profit sharing or ESOP.

No, that’s not quite right. Your pitch is too good. Let yourself go a little flat and you’ll have it nailed.

Best team logo at the time too.

Things are difficult and the actions of this administration are causing unnecessary suffering to many people. However, the republic and the world survived 8 years of W Bush, a useful idiot for super-wealthy friends of his VP, disruptor of the global order, friend to Christian nationalists, stoker of anti-Islamic violence, warden of Guantanamo Bay prison, and wrecker of the economy. The parallels to our situation today are striking. Perhaps the US will survive again.

It gives Randall-is-pissed vibes. Justifiably.

Well, it is about the difficulties of navigating the higher education system in the US as an international student, but unlike the ordinary XKCD comic, it’s not a joke.

Except at mine there are a billion people in line and after you pay for your hot dog you have to wait in another line to pick it up even though the hot dogs are DIRECTLY BEHIND the person you just gave your money to. The cash wrap workflow was designed by a three-legged donkey. Actually that’s not fair to donkeys. Donkeys are great.

What if I like it? Is there something wrong with me?

An apple a day does not fall far from the doctor.

Musk just wants to get to Mars. That’s all he cares about.

I appreciate your view and I think I probably agree with you. I work a manual labor job and I’m alone most of the time. I listen to many audiobooks on Libby and many podcasts. I’ve noticed over the past several months my thinking getting more muddled, almost like there’s just too much information in my skull. I’ve started to build audio breaks in my week where I go a day or two without consuming anything with earbuds. I feel better. On info diet days my mind wanders, I’m able to think about things more carefully, my workflow is more organized, and I think more about the people in my life.

I held a similar view many years ago, applied to all media and religiously motivated. I believed pleasure was sinful. My views and beliefs have since changed. Why do you make this recommendation?

I call universities white collar vocational schools because that’s what they’ve become.

The “studies” degrees and other liberal arts programs hearken to an earlier understanding of the university as being a place of higher learning. In the US, our view of post-secondary education has changed in recent decades and we now look at university degree programs largely as white collar vocational training. The old higher learning paradigms still exist, but now there is a societal expectation that they prove their economic value. Knowledge and wisdom no longer have inherent value, only that which can be exploited by capital. Higher learning in its traditional modality is a luxury.

It would help to change the nomenclature. Joining a Facebook “group” makes sense to anybody. Change insider jargon like “instance” to seeker-friendly verbiage like “village.”

With all those fluids, do you get up to pee like 19 times throughout the night? I would.

It’s beautiful when he shits on the copy or even better, wonders out loud why the fuck anyone would use the product.
