I wore suits and ties for many years, and now that I’m retired, I’ll never wear another tie again.
Most days, I wear loose cotton pants, a t-shirt, and maybe an open shirt over that. And sneakers. Probably not even socks. If they don’t like it, Fuck’em, I really don’t care.
I’ll put on big boy pants and a nice shirt if we’re going out for Christmas dinner, and I’ll wear socks, but it’s still sneakers. And no tie, ever.
I say it EVERY DAY now, and my family is sick of it, but they know it’s true: NOTHING works any more. Products, systems, etc., nothing works the way it’s supposed to, including customer service, which is worse than it has ever been. These days, corporations consider an AI chatbot to do ALL of their customer contact to be high quality customer service.
I wouldn’t start celebrating yet. It’s hard enough to get 2 people in the same room for sex, getting 3 is exponentially harder.
Let us know when it happens, there will be lots of questions.
Fell down.
Really, I wish I had a good story, or it happened in Walmart, or something, but I just fell down. And broke my arm. Nobody was more surprised than me. I got up, and said “What the fuck? I think I broke my arm!” And I was right.
I shattered my humerus (upper arm bone) badly, and needed major surgery, so I was in bad pain for a while, exacerbated by the fact that I’m a big whiney baby.
I absolutely refused any opiates for pain, knowing I’d get hooked, so I stuck with massive does of Advil, which worked okay. When I was near the end, almost out of it, I discovered that doctors were often recommending a combo of 1 Tylenol and 2 Advil for pain, claiming that the pain-killing power approached the level of an opiate, without any chance of addiction. I tried it, and the result was AMAZING! It really worked well. I wish I’d known about it when I first came out of surgery, instead of weeks later, when the pain had subsided for the most part.
Also, the Advil is processed by the kidneys, and the Tylenol is processed by the liver, so none of your organs are overtaxed. It’s still not a good idea for those who are taking blood thinners.
I’ve also noticed that Advil now sells their own combo with acetaminophen.
I am definitely one of those people who follows the “only eat when you’re hungry, and only until you aren’t hungry” plan, and it’s helped me lose over 100 pounds, while literally eating anything I want (in moderation), so I’m a believer.
We tend to dismiss underweight as a high-class problem that can be easily solved with a sandwich, but your perspective is a reminder to not be flippant. I still think it is sound advice for MOST people, but you have definitely made me aware of exceptions, and to be sensitive about it.
You’re slender, so I doubt I’d be offering the advice to you anyway. Not that I’m going around pitching it to random fat folks I see on the street, that would be weird, and an entirely different problem.
I was just watching an old rerun of some generic tv drama, and a judge was signing a warrant, and saying “One day we’re going to have to explain this to government sub-committee,” and I thought, “IF that happens, and that’s BIG IF, nothing will happen.”
Arby’s should definitely sell their Horsey Sauce in stores. ChikFilA sells their dipping sauces.
Everybody has their thing, including you. How would you like it if this guy was disparaging your favorite cause?
I order the Roast Beef sandwiches with a SLICE of Natural Cheddar, rather than the Cheddar Goo.
I’m totally addicted to the Horsey Sauce. Addicted.
Become a tourist in your own town. Find out what the big attractions are, and visit them. People love in a city, and never visit the museums, parks, libraries, etc.
Or expand your music by getting into recording. You can get Digital Audio Workstation software for free (I like Reaper and Ableton), and start recording yourself playing and singing, and since it lets you overdub, you can do all the background vocals, and even the other instruments. The learning curve is steep, and it’s almost like learning an entirely new instrument, but it’s fascinating, challenging, and fun.
Or find other players, and put together a little band, just for fun.
They want more money. That’s ALWAYS the issue.
$1.59 for gas? I’ll fight for that!
Too bad, it was fun at its peak, before the Parasites discovered it.
I got a new phone, was in a new city, on a different wi-fi, using a VPN, and they still tracked me down and permabanned me AGAIN, within hours.
I read that they are using AI to track and consolidate information that creates a sort of fingerprint, and it can identify you regardless of IP.
Those 10+ year old accounts like yours and mine are the people who BUILT Reddit, back when nobody had heard of it. Now they’ve kicked us out, but they let the bots roam free, because they don’t criticize MAGA.
I get permabanned after 12 years and a million Karma during the post-Inauguration bloodbath, but I’d like to get back on, just for guitar and music subs.
Will Redlib allow me to get back on Reddit? I looked at it, and I can’t make heads or tails of it. I need an idiot-proof solution, because I’m an idiot.
All those MAGAs, who are always joyously yelping when there’s a massive blizzard “Where’s you global warming now?” are pretty quiet right about now.
