Gosh, it’s like every time some big genuine shitshow is about to be revealed, we get to enjoy some surface-level bullshit distraction. What are the odds?

Number three seems like the equivalent of assless chaps. I vote two

Let’s make sure to shame the people being bombarded by advertisements for 90% of their lives. That’ll motivate them to be more cognizant of botany

I don’t know if they’re all bastards, but HR is absolutely not your friend. Human Resources <> protections for employees. Instead, Human Resources = protection for the company

times like these, I feel pretty shitty about how the world and I have condemned my kids to suffer the water wars in a handful of years

Naw, no hate. iPods are fuckin rad. Younger generations should definitely get to enjoy older tech. But the author’s observations weren’t really anything I needed to invest my time in reading. I know old iTunes had a visualizer. I don’t know why I read the whole thing anyways

Why did I just read an article about using an iPod that was clearly written by someone born in the early-mid 2000s? I know the original ipod was fun. I was there, gandalf

This from ye olde tumblr

Say the line, Bart!

Revenge bedtime procrastination. It rules my life now

Replace those first two panels with sneaky napping and this is perfect

Oh no, you’re breaking my heart /s

What kind of dog is this

This is the one

I hope my kids get a full, long life before the water wars begin. I do my part where I can, but I’ll never have the footprint that some big billion dollar corporation can affect. The oligarchy and their absolute zero interest in preventing a climate disaster has fucked us all.

Dumbass

Didn’t Xfinity recently rebrand itself to use just an X for most things, too?

I’m beginning to question this guy’s decision making skills /s

Compared with people who pooped once a day, constipated participants had significantly worse cognition equivalent to three years more of chronological cognitive aging, the authors found. Increased risk was also found among those who pooped more than twice daily, though these higher odds were small.

Not pooping often enough? Jail. Pooping too often? Believe it or not, also jail

With hookers and blackjack?

Better to stay put, accept slightly less money for another year and look at it again when I’ve got the time and energy to cope with it.

but Watch Out

Seriously, though, this is hitting the nail on the head. That dangling carrot of job security can be so exploitative when there’s so many unknowns (many of them confidence-based in a dev’s situation). I’ve heard that little evil voice (recently) telling me “yeah, you could probably go back to physical labor when you can’t find any more work as a dev. you’ll do okay out there”

I work hard for my company. But paying me raises to deal with inflation? Rewarding my efforts and loyalty? Why bother when they can just hold out and pay my identical wage to someone greener and less jaded in a couple short years?
