Here’s the thing… When you’re neurodivergent and any clothing you wear to bed will twist and wrinkle and keep you awake every night, you have to weigh the quality of sleep every night vs the rare instance of an emergency. I choose sleep. But I also have a robe next to my bed.
Penis to vaginaaaaaa
Maybe it depends on the students, but based on the ones I’ve met, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. My family took a trip rafting in the Grand Canyon for 6 days in 130 degree heat. It was highly taxing on the body and you needed to be very in tune with your body during the trip to assure you didn’t get heat sickness. There were 2 people on the raft with my family serving as tour guides and experts. One was an older and very seasoned expert who knew the canyon and its history like it was their very soul. The other was a young geology student who was training to do the same. During this trip, all of us experienced the same physical challenges, but our guides were also tasked with keeping us safe and informed, setting up camp, and navigating any additional challenges that the rest of us wouldn’t be knowledgeable in. Oh and steering the fucking raft through some extremely dangerous areas that even seasoned rafters fuck up sometimes. It was a wild trip, but I’ve got a lot of props for the geologist and student that served as our guides.
Live in Chicago and I second this. Everyone always talks about how cold and bitter it is here, but that’s much easier to prepare for than the 120F with 90% humidity we sometimes get. Yuk!
I just started watching the new King of the Hill season and I gotta say it’s pretty good! Hank’s already got great lines like “I shouldn’t need to call tech support to make a burger.” Which is sort of how I feel about this ad.
There are some still around believe it or not. There’s one local to me that’s been around forever. They don’t have anything that’s exclusive to streaming services, but that have loads of new movies and a massive collection of old movies. They’re pretty handy to get movies that are in limbo due to rights disputes.
I have a media converter made from a raspberry pi I use for all of my old consoles so I can play them on modern TVs. I bet it would work great for vhs tapes as well. Tape degradation might be a different issue though…
My dog is the most cowardly dog I’ve ever met. All I would have to do is bring the toy he is afraid of. All the other dogs will either ignore it or want to play with it. But my dog will recognize the scary toy and cower. I got him that toy for Christmas and it was a really nice expensive toy. Same brand as all his other toys he loves. But for whatever reason, he’s scared of it. So I gave it to my parent’s dogs who think it’s just the best toy they’ve ever seen.
It’s cool in here boy
Artist’s impression of a person without a skeleton… Or hair lol.
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.
At my first job that literally employed 10 people, the internal IT manager left for a better job. He had been working for them for 5 years and did all sorts of things that weren’t in his job description much like all of us since there were, you know, 10 of us. I remember them complaining about not getting any applications and also asking me in the marketing department about how to entice new candidates. My coworker and I looked at the job posting which required 10 years of experience for entry level pay and both suggested that they either need to pay more or reduce the experience required. Their excuse for not doing so basically amounted to that they were paying the previous guy this amount so surely they don’t need to pay more. Except… He left? Because of money most likely? It baffled me how they just couldn’t connect the dots there.
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 could get loads of cool liquors I’ve been eyeing for experimentation! Or like… one reeeeeally nice scotch.
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?
Mixology and movies are probably the top 2 for me. But unfortunately both of these things can be deceptive in conversation. So if I start talking to someone about either one, the enjoyment of the conversation will depend on how deep down the rabbit hole the other person is. But in those rare moments when they seem to be on the same page, I could talk for hours!!
Some things that have been exciting recently: I wandered into a Binny’s and saw a whole shelf full of Chartreuse which I have not seen in many years!!! On the movie side of things, I’m very excited for Yorgos Lanthimos latest upcoming film! The trailer looked great and he always makes highly interesting films!
