I know this is a joke. But for people like my parents that think mental health is fake, this would actually really help them out a lot.

This is great, but can someone explain what the fuck is going on in this picture?

Not exactly what you're asking for, but there's this thing called "shape note singing."

There's a long story of why it exists, but people still do it, and even though it has roots in religion, and the songs are religious, the groups you find today never perform in a religious capacity.

Get a buddy and go to one of the meetings. Everybody sits in chairs, in a circle and everybody sings. No instruments, just voices.

It's a beautiful, eerie sound which always falls flat in recordings.

Back in the day we used to stuff dryer sheets in an empty toilet paper roll.

I just googled it and it's called a "sploof."

Anyway, you blow your exhale through that, and it smells like dryer sheets.

Yeah, someone has to pay for saving their asses in both world wars, they're obviously not going to do it.

I wanna know if we're going to weekend at Bernie's someone, why not Bernie? Why has he not been on the ballot yet?

Yeah, I'd much rather vote for Jill than Joe.

Because California is a beacon of sanity?

Let's get real for a second, Biden and Trump are both terrible choices.

Pretty much the only ray of hope I have is that Biden dies before the election so a new Obama-type can slip in there.

Like why haven't the Democrats been looking for someone else? They've had like 8 years to find someone that can beat Trump.

These "nut-cases" are not going to vote for Biden. And Biden hasn't exactly been a great President. His weakness in Afghanistan and Ukraine looks really bad. He's going to have a near-impossivle re-election.

I'd like to know more. Do you know what it's called?

Holy fuck, what is this from?

No offense, brother, but this is a great example of my swear-by.

Don't write a "wall of text." Even if a reader is interested, it's hard to read the whole thing.

Separate your wall into smaller sections, use bullet points (esp at work) if it helps.

Use small sentences. Forget what they told you about keeping similar ideas in one paragraph. You're not Salinger, and no one is expecting you to be.

This is a digital age, and our job as not-salinger is to convey information.

Who created that again?

Ouch.

We had to roll back the prod database to the last save. Only amounted to 15 or 20 minutes, and I don't think anything was super affected, but then I was that guy.

I ran an UPDATE without a WHERE clause.

Edit: Remember kids, when updating a database, always write your WHERE before your FROM.

Good on you for apologizing. Not many people would, but it really is the best form of self-therapy.

Hot Take: I'm looking forward to it for one reason only: Maybe social networks will be fun and bearable again without the constant bombardment of political "ideas." Maybe all those people who haven't been working will go back to work and stop ruining the internet.

I vaguely remember hearing about this thing called an executive order.

Remember when Bush Sr. stole all the Iraqi govt property in the US during Desert Storm? Seems like if he can do that, they could figure something out. The fact is, they don't really want to, exactly like OP says, they just want to appear to want to.

How can any Fediverse instance withstand that kind of force? Really the only way is to not save anything, or perhaps some sort of blockchain for all the comments and posts?
