It’s cool in here boy

I mean… If it’s somewhere you don’t want to be…

This is exactly why, as a graphic designer, I’m currently trying to upskill into other areas. I have reached the peak in my career as just a graph designer and no one will want to hire me at my current salary. So for now, I work at a big evil corporation that can pay my salary while I learn skills that can maybe help me get a different job later at a higher salary. So maybe I can get a more morally sound job as something else like a project manager or something else boring, but bring my design skills with me that can help these smaller companies improve their brand and UX.

I remember watching a video about this. But I definitely prefer the taste of Mexican coke. Then it hit me, I think it might taste different depending on what material the packaging is. I have this same issue with coffee. I can taste if it was sitting in a plastic mug vs a ceramic one. So, theoretically, I think people might just like the taste of coke from a glass bottle.

We bid 10k under asking price because the owner ripped the place up and it needed tons of work. They said they would not accept any offers under asking. We thought about it and decided the house was in the perfect location and made the offer at asking price. They also were not happy about that because this was in 2021 and everything was selling for a ton over asking price. Thing is, those houses you could move into with minimal changes. This house needed abatement and a gutted bathroom and kitchen. We were the only offer and they begrudgingly accepted and tried every which way to nickel and dime us before closing.

I agree. Some kids need extra motivation to get them to practice reading so it really shouldn’t matter how dumb the subject matter seems. Whatever gets them to open a book and practice is good.

In the US it’s cheap but unregulated and full of shit that’s terrible for you. Or you can pay an arm and a leg for stuff that’s better but still not up to the standards of most other countries. I learned this by getting a chemical burn in my eye from sunscreen… meant for my face.

My inlaws took in a Russian family a few years back. It was quite the culture shock for them to get a giant jar of pickled tomatoes and drink hole glasses of the brine. I like pickles and all, but that’s just too much 😆

I have no sources for this so take with a grain of salt… But I’ve heard that Tesla turns off self driving just before an accident so they can say it was the drivers fault. Now in this case, if it was on while it drove on the tracks I would think would prove it’s Tesla’s faulty self driving plus human error for not correcting it. Either way it would prove partly Tesla’s fault if it was on at the time.

I wish the same were true for bras. Women’s shirts are often much thinner than men’s, so a white bra might show through a dark shirt. It took me until this year to figure out that in order to make your bras less visible under light or white shirts, you should use a skin-tone bra instead of a white bra. Blew my mind when I figured that one out.

Ice cream sandwiches are just ice cream between 2 dense cake layers. So by this definition, you’d be correct!

Yep that’s the one! Thanks for the Lemmy reference!

I wonder how far you can push this? Like there was a whole subreddit (can’t remember the name) that was dedicated to news that seems positive on the surface but is actually fucked up when you take 2 seconds to think. Could you just get chatgpt to come up with a way to positively frame the worst shit specifically to bait adds next to it?

I had a “Big meeting” last week. It went more like

1/2 day of adjusting the deck, a dry run, tweaks, feedback, wow I’m doing great this meeting is going to go great I’m so prepared!

10 minutes after meeting starts… Important individual: “Let me stop you right there”, boss takes over meeting, meeting details.

1/2 day of anxiety about how I did my best and it still wasn’t enough, and also how “Important individual” is an asshole and really just didn’t give a shit about the meeting in the first place. And to be clear… THEY REQUESTED THE MEETING WTF!!!

You just can’t win sometimes.

We have this in Chicago. It’s great in theory. It generally works well for middle class renters who may have just enough backing to fight it if the landlord is shitty. But for those who need it the most, initiating something like this without any backing to fight it typically results in people not withholding rent to avoid confrontation or keep the little stability they may have. I hope Michigan can come up with a system to back these bills that would better support the people who need them the most.

Everybody to the limit Everybody to the limit Everybody, come on, fhqwhgads!

There’s actually a better way to get more garlic flavor into your dishes without adding more. The secret is to add the garlic at the last possible moment in the cooking process to reduce the garlic oxidation. The more it oxidizes the less flavor it has. It oxidizes the second you break the cell walls so waiting until the end of possible helps retain the flavor and make it more potent!
