I think a lot of it comes from thought correlation traps that people easily fall into. The path goes as such

Guys, going into girls bathrooms are creepy sex perverts. -> Guys pretending to be girls going into girls bathrooms are even creepier sex perverts. -> Pedophiles are the creepiest of sex perverts -> Trans people are creepy pedophiles

It’s all baseless assumption and bias, and full of logical fallacy’s but an incredibly easy train of thought that follows normalized cultural perceptions for decades. That’s why people get stuck on those issues, when it really shouldn’t be a big deal at all.

He eats too many Sea Weedies.

Guy wouldn’t know majesty if it bit him in the face!

-that happened once

Computer over. Virus = very yes

Ask him if he would like to take a trip to Ireland to celebrate his graduation. I’m sure he won’t be starting work immediately, but if he already has a job it’s an easy excuse for at least a 2 week vacation. You could offer to show him around where you live and all the cool spots. Introduce him to your friends and do some of the things you all usually do for fun. Then you can take a trip to the touristy spots, which is conveniently a great excuse to get a room for night in the city, ya know, to make sure you have enough time to see everything and not worry about the travel time and such. Then for the end of the trip, just spend the time relaxing, and hanging out together. Give yourselves the time to get comfortable doing the day to day routine, give him a chance to experience what regular life in Ireland might be if he were to stay a bit longer.

Can’t wait to hear about space X satellites falling out of a window.

Pretty similar to what’s going on with Twitter right now.

Well they’re right in one aspect, the rest of America has lost their minds for sure. The part they’re missing however, is that they themselves are also mindless.

In the end, nothing. I had a good solid 9 months of a job I loved, with decent enough pay. But then tanks to corporate execs laid off the entire IT team and outsourced it to a staffing company and reduced the size of the team from 100+ to about 8.

I’m still there because I still need the pay, but now it’s just like every other garbage corporate job out there. Miserable and soul sucking.

In other news: water is wet.

I think it’s a mindflyer parasite. If you hear it talking to you, make sure not to listen.

Man, I can’t wait until the day I don’t exist anymore. My existential crisis is that I’m currently forced into existing.

Any position in a corporation other than executive.

Yeah, but over $1k is less than $6K. So… Worth it?

Oh man, my friend bought that game and has been trying to get us to play it, but I had twins, and have not more time for board games. It looked fun though

When he wanted to remind us to turn off lights, he’d yell “save electrodes!”

When he was splitting wood with the “kabunger” (splitting maul) he’d yell “katabuungie!” When he swung.

When he’d drop wood on his toe he’d yell “GOTDAMMITSONOFABITCHGRAAH”

In other news, Scientists have done extensive studies and found that water is in fact wet. More at 11.

Move to Mars? I doubt that’s likely. If we can’t unfuck our own mostly functional atmosphere, what makes you think we can fix Mars’s

Idk man, I’ve never gotten married and it’s been fine for me. My girlfriend and I have been together for 14 years, have 2 kids, and our family is all that has kept me going through this shitty world. Never married though, so many there is some truth to the advice.

So it was in like 2013 or 14 so it was a long time ago and I might be remembering it wrong, but I remember it being reported that the firmware that was installed with Questionable functionality was found to be collecting and sending personal usage data back to Lenovo, specifically the Chinese branch based on the IP. I’m. Im not 100% sure if it was specifically keylogging, but it was definitely data that they had no business collecting so I might have remembered it as such.
