The supervisor/manager doesn't want someone who knows more working under them. Puts their position into question. It's better for them to hire someone who makes them look vital.

Turned on my computer yesterday and this popped up. No option to decline. I had to go into the registry last week get all traces of OneDrive out. It's worse than just ads; it's also forcing its other products. Like: Bitch, I'm just here for your OS. Fuck off with all your neediness.

This gave me the same visceral reaction as nail-based torture scenes in movies.

He did theater stuff in HS, so we may adapt this if neither of us concede. Good work around.

Lessons from movies that streaming services didn't learn:

"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

It's rarely about time but rather energetic resources - whether mental or physical. Most of us have the time, but not the energy to maximize it.

This makes me think of the sunk cost fallacy. I figure they are so heavily invested at this point that they are doubling down. If they don't have Trump to back their views, they might realize being a bigot isn't cool.

Oh, you are a witty one. Good answer.

Probably along the same lines as band camp. I'm sure there's a few "This one time..." stories.

I thought this was a close up of a fuzzy sweater and was like: "cool ". Read the title. "Oh, fuck, yeah."

I was checking the comments strictly for a Night Vale reference. Thank you. This has been traffic.

Ha. You're not wrong.

Less if they rebuild with sand mixed resources again. (Note: sarcasm)

Nonsexual/therapeutic manual therapy/massage/bodywork page with research, techniques, theory, etc. anytime I try to find one, I only get porn ones.

"Google Messages will note inline when something has been “Edited,” while the original message will be viewable by long-pressing the overflow menu > View details."

If you know someone doesn't read their messages right, you could fuck with them by sending responses unfiltered and filtered.

Example: "that's a stupid idea" and editing it to "I'll consider that"

Just know that they'll see it, so only do with this with friendly trolling. Or just use it for typos. That's probably safer.

A very realistic answer. It's unlikely either of us will concede so this is will be a perpetual joke.

I was thinking this too. All felons should sue for their right to vote on precedent that a felon if, elected president, could sign in laws.

Dependency and self-sufficiency are not opposites but extremes in both directions. It's about finding the middle and and keeping it balanced as variables change.

Your logic is that of my BFs.

If the bed to be used with people in it, I think that perspective should be the fixed perspective how it is used. If you're partner is on your right hand side, the side you sleep on is the left.

Happy to hear we aren't the only ones.

Fair point. Complicated descriptions may have an exaggeration, but relative to simply left/right it's still mildly accurate. I'm not a sensory thinker so pulling from objects other than what I'm referencing seems like adding a few extra cognitive steps. Silly, I'm aware, but that's my brain.

Nice job renaming stage and audience to bed and standing. I would've used their original terms. Our bed is not a stage and we don't entertain an audience so that would've gotten weird/entertaining at some point.

And absolutely agree. I was dumbfounded when he said otherwise. There's a good few who agree with the logic. Personifying the bed breaks that logic though.

So using the point of the examiner, is the mattress the belly or back or the bed? I say it's the belly, the baseboard would be the back. So it would be the same as laying in the bed.

I'll have to counter his argument with this. I think it nullifies the standing at the foot line of thinking.

When we sleep, the monsters are at our 6.

Driver and passenger side confuses me more because of your last point. It's backwards. But it still needs to be named foot of the bed and not head because it's where it feet go. So your first point also makes sense. Both are right and wrong at the same time

You're in agreement with my BF.

I didn't consider stomach sleepers. It's a good counter. I sleep on my stomach for short periods of time, but laying prone isn't default orientation (we typically don't face the ground) so therefore shouldn't be used as an indicator of default direction.

How do you reference position while in the bed? Just "your vs my" side?

Left/right are ambiguous terms.

Your solution would be a great way to practice spatial awareness. Could get exhausting constantly reorienting to where is north, but would benefit us in any post apocalyptic future.

Fun site I just showed my partner. He's been having ADHD flair up, insomnia, twitching and loss of appetite. For me, it helps regulate stress and anxiety. Low magnesium levels are so common. The world could be a better place if our bodies actually received/processed what we need to thrive.

how you could be depleting body's magnesium

This is my stance on it. I thought this so such a common sense perspective that my brain stalled when he disagreed with it.

Hamas is a terrorist group. Not all Palestinians are Hamas. Israel is targeting Hamas. They have done their best to minimize Palestinian civilian causalities. It's not genocide. If they were going for genocide, this would have been over with a long time ago.

The problem is, we as the general public, have gut reactions to things we don't understand and aren't directly involved in. This is made worse with misinformation and poor Internet literacy.

Another problem is that many Americans' view points are sympathetic to terrorists. But, as I've heard somewhere "one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter." These people believe Hamas aren't terrorists and are wrongly being fired upon, therefore Israel is bad.

Another group, Trump supporters and the like, will twist anything Biden does negatively because it doesn't align with their narrative.
