I did go to the midnight release of Black Ops II, at the insistence of my friend who was very excited about it. I remember seeing the huge line and thinking “Really? For this?” They had about 1000 extra copies.

Pretty decent game. I’m a sucker for anything co-op.

Second best to OP, I’ve always thought, would be night security guard at a place that never checks up on you.

The kind of guy who is deep asleep and doesn’t see the protagonist on the security cameras. I’d be full on playing video games, and even if I noticed someone stealing shit I’d just let them, assuming I didn’t work for an orphanage or something.

I doubt that job really exists anymore, though. They probably have 3rd parties check up in you remotely, and track your active status in Teams or whatever. I guess what I really want is to (not really) work in the 80’s or 90’s.

That guy gets banned a lot.

My previous PC I tried to find the best form factor PC case with no RGB, completely ignoring looks, and pretty much the only option on NewEgg was the dirt cheap entry level case.

My current PC I ended up paying a premium for this baby. It’s sexy as hell and I love it, who needs RGB.

The media really gave me unrealistic expectations about how much money my dislike of avocado was going to save me.

Even less related, I accidentally put my melatonin in the “early morning” slot of my pill divider last week, so every day I woke up after 2-3 hours of sleep and popped some melatonin before work. Also, I don’t generally drink caffeine, so I just pushed through on willpower. Life on challenge mode is brutal.

Not really related, but recently I ordered something I need urgently from another country, and they offered to ship it three weeks faster if I paid an extra $30. When the payment cleared they immediately sent me a notice that shipping was delayed by three weeks.

I visited my brother recently and his downstairs fridge was completely full of diet caffeine free soda. I tried a few and they tasted shockingly close to their normal counterparts. I don’t trust it, there has to be a cost I don’t realize I’m paying.

But also, jesus christ at least sometimes drink some water. The whole family just hates water. They even have top notch H2O there, I’m jealous.

Plot twist: OP in the picture is at an intervention.

I remember the grocery store I worked at started posting the rate for each cashier of items scanned per minute logged into a register. They didn’t say anything about it, but I now realize they were probably leading into using that data as justification for something.

My dumbass 16 year old self thought “I’m going to get that number so high it breaks the system.” I would lock my station after the previous customer, and take a little time to face all of the UPC codes and look up produce codes and make a general strategy. Then, I would unlock the register, scan like a madman, then lock it and casually start bagging. The customers would get concerned they needed to hurry up based on my fervor, so I would tell them “Take all the time you need, see that show yesterday?”

Next time they posted the rankings, my number was 20x as high as second place. After a few weeks of getting my number a little higher each time, my boss’ boss came by and told me to knock it off since I was polluting their metrics. Next week no new rankings.

I like to think I inadvertently helped prevent KPI nonsense.

It’s so hard to tell. I read it and thought “Good joke!” and upvoted right away. But I had the same reaction when r/TheDonald started, so my sensor is busted.

I graduated college right as the economy tanked dramatically. Local companies were rabidly trying to recruit me, I had a dozen legit job offers.

Then, a week before I graduated, they all pulled their offers one by one. Everyone I knew by name at all of these companies was laid off at the same time. Spent the next two years temping because I was “overqualified” to work at companies like Best Buy.

I, too, hate Instagram. One of the social media sites that tries to lure kids into their van really aggressively. I’m just looking, damn.

Most normal people it would be a hard no

You have a lot more faith in humans than I do. If nobody would know, I’d be shocked if more than 50% said no.

I think if I had to choose a hand I would choose the right, just because we write left to right and I wouldn’t want to track my hand through fresh pencil and pen marks.

My friend in highschool was left handed and his left hand was always completely covered in graphite.

Concerning implications about this clown coffin no longer being needed.

“For sale, clown coffin, never used. Because zombie.”

Or when the person with the answer deleted their account and all messages with it, then all of the comments after say “That worked!”

You joke, but based on their comments and weirdly intense energy about this absurd situation, I can only assume they’ve literally been in this situation before as one of the coworkers.

Does this imply Trump actually paid one of his pool contractors for work rendered enough times for them to be on friendly terms? Honestly surprising.
