And that their professionalism is so low they’re comfortable dropping f bombs in texts right after lying.

Wow, I can’t believe I never put that together before.

I’m sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you’re doing better now.

I don’t think anyone has ever considered waiting tables to be unskilled labor. It takes a lot of different skills to be a waiter, and it’s an in-demand job, often highly competitive. Back in college I tried unsuccessfully for years to get a server position at this swanky restaurant that would have meant I’d make $55+k a year, working 12 hours per week in the 90’s. My friend got a job there and was basically rich, working less than half the week.

I guess it depends on where the beach house is located. I stayed at a beach house in San Diego for a week once in my 20’s, and it was fucking amazing! That was one of the most fun weeks of my entire life. The short 2’ wall in-between the beach and the house kept all of the sand out, and there weren’t any seagulls. We sat on the porch drinking beer, BBQing, and inviting people who walked past to join us. It was paradise.

Right, with modern context we can figure it out pretty quickly, after we learn that the term torch is used for flashlight. The first time I saw it i thought they were talking about a cigarette lighter

Because we have actual torches too. You guys don’t have actual soccers to get confused by. Given the right context we can figure out when you mean flashlight, but said torch.

Mormons seem to walk the walk a lot more than other religions I’ve been exposed to. They generally live by the rules they espouse, and they have a robust support network for their members, including things like discount grocery stores. It’s not for me, but as religious people go, they seem pretty okay.

That’s too bad. Apparently their holo lens was really good. But pricing it at $4000 meant most people weren’t interested.

These would sell like hotcakes.

I have an LG OLED too. There’s a setting for recommended content, or something like that. I turned anything off that looked like it meant ads or tracking.

I let some Mormons come in once when I was in my early 20’s because I wanted to confirm some things I had heard about their religion that they usually don’t share with outsiders. We talked for about an hour and then I asked them to leave. They came back the next day with their leader, and we talked some more. Then they came back the next day with their leader, and his leader! At that point I just told them point blank that it was nice talking to them, but I’m never converting to Mormonism, so stop coming back. To their credit, they said okay and left. It was an interesting experience.

“Never invite a vampire into your home, you silly boy, it renders you powerless.”

So they recognize that the owner of the product is trying to prevent them from collecting data, and actively try to circumvent the owner’s security measures? This shit should be illegal, and carry a huge fine. You paid for the device, and it’s connected to your network, which you control. I’m sick and tired of corporations thinking it’s totally okay to be straight-up spyware and adware. Some supposedly legitimate companies these days make old-school computer viruses look down right respectful.

My TV is connected to the Internet and doesn’t do this. There’s a setting to turn it off.

Was this spontaneous? What kind of wacky, awesome, gym is this?!

They were hungry, just like everyone else during 99% of human history.

I bought her the best macha I could find. I’m just not a fan of the way it tastes. She drinks it, so she seems to like it just fine.

My wife makes macha tea with just water. It’s not very tasty.
