  • Years ago when I was going through an extremely stressful period at work, when I wasn't a rampant insomniac, I had the dumbest fucking dreams.

    They were about grocery shopping, house cleaning - all like you say, frustrating as hell when you wake up and find everything is still a pit - but the worst were the work dreams.

    I'd have entire stakeholder meetings, run workshops, present to the project board, have debriefs with my staff - and then have to relive the whole fucking thing the next day.

    I was basically working in both my awake and sleeping hours. A constant feeling of deja vu. Having to actually double check my calendar to see whether the big meeting had already happened or not. What a fucking horrible time that was.

  • You need to wash your hair. Your hairs have tension at the scalp because of a build up of body goo preventing them laying flat. Pain goes away if you wash your scalp.

  • Don't forget the "nyeeeeeehhhhhhh" noise that accompanies the dramatised physical effort

  • There's some recruitment company advertising jobs on LinkedIn. All the pictures are clearly AI generated and they're terrifying. Uncanny Valley freaks grinning at you from your screen.

  • To you. Not everything is for the male gaze. I wouldn't do it myself, and I don't think it's attractive on most women. But people aren't walking around trying to please me. Or you.

  • How aggressively were you sitting???

  • Chris Elliot plays the hand in mash Potato referenced in the image

  • Cool etymology explanation. It's a pretty well known one, but extra points for being deliberately obtuse.

    It's a sad incel insult because they equate a man's worth to the ownership of a woman for the purpose of sex, and the loss of it to another man as a loss of their 'manhood'.

    The moment you call someone a cuck or cuckhold, you're telling the world exactly how reductive and sad your view of the world and the people in it is.

  • He's a genuine piece of shit.

    But using cuckold as an insult is really sad.

  • Same actor referenced

  • Still in bed drinking coffee. Need to go reschedule a meeting. But the idea of opening my laptop and logging into slack just sounds hard. Gimme another 10...

  • I've often mused who they'd cast as Thomas. A younger Billy Bob Thornton would have worked.

  • If you find yourself writing the words 'round them up' about human beings, that's the time to step away from the keyboard and go think about how you got where you are and why.

  • If you like the way they look, you tend to display them. Just like literally all other collections. You know, like art?

  • They're visually appealing to the eye of the beholder, can be worn as a fashion item, and have monetary value to those who like them. I don't collect them but I know people who do and it's as relatable a hobby as any other collection based hobby. Do you look at action figure collectors and wonder what the 'goal' is?

  • Isn't that just collecting? Could replace with any object and that's hardly a fad.

  • I don't have a degree. Started one back in the late '00s but didn't complete it cos life got in the way.

    Successful career in related industry but occasionally I'll go for a job only to see it has higher ed quals as mandatory. I think I'll lie next time if there's something I really want to go for and know I can do.

    I'm old enough that even if I had completed the course, it was all paperbased paperwork - no one's tracking the truth down and no one really cares. Of all the recruitment I've done, I've never cared about anyone's degrees. Hell, half the technologies and methodologies I work with didn't even exist when I was at uni. So who gives a shit even if I did have the degree.
