  • So the guy in charge of Amazon's video games doesn't understand video games. Sounds about right. I was already skeptical of what they could pull off after the New World fiasco. I don't think we'll be seeing anything other than the video game version of Amazon's stolen and enshitified products

  • I used to live in a place like where you do now. There's a chance you'll run into someone cool, but it's very low. I had to move to the city to form an actual friend group

  • Businesses keeping bankers hours, especially banks, should stop immediately. How could it possibly be a good idea to only be open during the main times that no one has free time to run errands? Why do I have to use PTO to go to the mechanic, or the doctor? Why can't these places, which require you to visit them in person, be open during the days and hours during the week that people actually have time to visit them in person?

  • You can blame Star Trek for this one. They're constantly having to deal with Dampening fields. And the only time it was actually a field that keeps things wet, Tom got in trouble for fixing it 😞

  • Used to work at a local resort. One time, Kid Rock rented out the whole top floor of the hotel, and requested no staff go up there during his stay. Of course, it's a hotel full of minimum wage teenagers, so intra-staff communication is abysmal. A maid ended up running into a naked Kid Rock holding a bag of cocaine lol
