First I’ve heard of that. This is brilliant.

Eh, it’s Facebook in a suit-and-tie. Rarely does anything get above the level of watercooler talk, job-fair friendly material, and hiring/training/talent influencers strutting their stuff.

Also, like Facebook, the most useful part of it is the built-in chat. It’s hard to stand out on the “feed” if you’re not a company, and most of your networking and job hunting happens in chat. The latter is crucial since recruiters use this to screen out robots and invalid candidates, and it’s your best opportunity to do the same. And you will get feelers from crafty LLMs pushing all kinds of sketchy “opportunities.”

Meanwhile, the slop that hits your feed is inreasingly AI-generated nonsense, awful infographics, techbro/ceo-bro influencer nonsense, and just straight-up corporate PR advertising. It would be better if people posted things, but nobody wants to say or do anything that would cost a job now or in the future.

like a movie or TV show.

Last one I went to, the staff were singing together while they cooked. It was phenomenal.

Poor executive control and possibly substances. Consider the dark side of ADHD where “fight” is the go-to response after getting overwhelmed, scared, provoked, or just too tired to think straight. It’s straight dysfunction to be sure, but many of us were blessed with other default responses to adrenaline and bad executive function.

Oh shit.

You could probably work with some artists to knock that together in Mugen or something.

A single-player Final Fight clone would work too, but it would be a handful of small stages: parking lot, inside the diner, and out back by the dumpsters. Destructive scenery and being able to use furniture as weapons would be a big plus. Game/mission types would be king-of-the-hill, time trial, survival mode, and boss rush.

Oh bother.

I’ve done the nudist camp thing. This is 1000% true. This also works if you’re “Donald Ducking it” and just wearing a shirt.

Counterargument: the rear of your car is far more resilient to impact than the front. You can cope with backing out, but maybe your wallet/schedule won’t cope with a fender-bender to your headlights or front bumper.

Seeing as how you can run a diesel engine on the oil component, yes. Very.

This is specifically a Dethklok track list. Some of these are kinda brutal.

Producer: Okay, but… “Teeth?”

Band: ::complaints and groans of disbelief::

Nathan: They’re like… bone knives. In your face. And kids lose their first set with blood and agony, and then you get even more. It’s so f—ing brutal. So we made a song about it.

Toki: Plus it’s important to teach the kids about brushing.

Swissgar: Yous don’t want to be losings your bone face knives.

The problem is more with the perception of disrupting the “correct” social hierarchy. Conservatives have no trouble taking money from, or being served by their “lessers” in society. This includes sex workers. It’s when the underclass elevate themselves or exceed their “betters” do they have a problem.

In this case: driving a big showy pickup truck - a coveted symbol of buying power - that shouldn’t be obtainable.

One starts to get the impression that they should just have the archeologists dig the tunnel in the first place, and budget the project like one big find.

What i love about the jump-humping thing is I’ve heard it involves a third party to move the bed for you, making it just the weirdest threesome.

Since “all dogs go to heaven” isn’t mentioned in the bible but is generally accepted christian doctrine, it’s actually dogma, which is way funnier.

You’re not alone. My preference is shopping at places like that “off hours” if possible. Sunday morning (while a lot of people are in church) is a must-do for me.

I miss 24hr and late-night grocery stores. 10PM shopping used to be incredible.

I meticulously read labels on everything. I kind of have to since I can’t just eat anything off the shelf - it’s complicated.

But one thing I do is to be aware of how much room the cart/trolley/whatever is taking up. I much prefer to use a hand-basket or smaller cart if available. I’ll also park the damn thing outside the aisle if there’s room nearby, or next to my person parallel to the flow of traffic. Why gack up the whole lane?

At the same time, I also appreciate that a typical supermarket is an assault on the senses where even the neuro-normative struggle. It’s not hard to find people that are clearly stuggling, doubling-back-and-forth through the whole market to complete their shopping list (just peek in the basket then consider where you are in the store). The frequency of this happening is kind of staggering.

Hrm… People do act strangely when I drone on for long enough. You might be on to something there.

Wait, you guys are getting eldrich powers? All I got were dodgy knees and a moving hairline.
