Butt sex I imagine. She kinda looks like a woman who is into some backdoor play.

Not judging, just observing. If she wants me to stop saying that all she has to do is stop thrusting her Christianity on the rest of us.

Boeing style.

No more moon shots, contract out everything, slash pensions, fight a war against your union, move corporate away from production, buy your own stock.

So tired of hearing that shitstain’s name. I admit there is some wisdom to the up or out approach. You know for very very high level workers. Like C-suite or a rank below. Doing it across the company just promises misery and failure.

try to keep an eye on neat, simple engineering projects from poor countries because we may need to rely on similar options soon enough ourselves.

I am just sitting here as a infrastructure guy trying not to have a mental break of crying and laughing. It’s so fucking bad and getting so much worse. You know what was today’s item? I am working on one small system for a replacement wastewater treatment plant for a town of about 3,000 people that the pieces of shit general contractor has dragged out for 8 fucking years. 8 years for a project that should have taken 6 months. They haven’t done any work. Longer it goes on the more they get to bill. Oh and my favorite part? The general contractor is one of the bigger ones, they have a Wikipedia page.

Cost disease is going to break us. Entire country is going to be spending a trillion a year with the water supply of Flint.

Now if you excuse me I am going to drink now. Cause fuck it I can’t save anyone.

My wife has a job with an awesome pension and as a result there is basically no situation she will ever leave. I pointed out to her that the golden handcuffs are still golden.

One day some MBAs are going to learn that if you don’t want constant turn over you give workers a pension so great they would crawl over their mother’s corpse to get it.

What am I saying? MBAs learning? Hahaha I love being silly.

Bad things are happening -> a minority caused it. All we have to is eliminate the minority and double down on ideas that failed us.

Guess humans haven’t changed much. On an unrelated note a friend of mine yesterday decided to tell me about the vast conspiracy of trans people to hurt girls and I am reconsidering our relationship.

The first pandemic caused primarily by human stupidity…

I was going to bring up the killing of cats right before the Black Plague of the 14th century but some searching online showed me that most historians think it was a factor but not the major factor.

So yeah I got nothing you might be right.

The thing about five year olds is that they don’t communicate like adults. Also adults suck as well. Go work in retail or a restaurant for a week and tell me about how understanding adults are.

I have a client now who wants a replacement part that my employer hasn’t made since 2002, explained that and he demanded that I walk him through the repair process. Guy this thing was out of warranty for 21 years.

Don’t think I made any claims about myself

Fine. I would start reading with the PERMA+ model

Why tell me? Tell all those shrinks and psychology professors who have been doing endless studies on this for a century.

Turns out Aristotle was right all along. Took us like 25 centuries to relearn it.

Let you know when it happens.

For the most part the more active and nicer you are the happier you will be. Yeah yeah you get taken advantage of, you know the same result if you are a lazy asshole.

Your insurance company is going to deny your claim, your stuff is going to break down, you will be ripped off, you will be injured, you will be robbied, and eventually you will die. All of this stuff will happen in your existence and there is fuck all you can do about it.

What you can do is stay active and stay giving. You can surround yourself with people who very much want you to be happy in life and your happiness almost completely depends on it.

So go ahead and make your decision. Do you want to pass judgement on a world that doesn’t care what you think about it and rot with whatever pathetic little you have or do you want deep connections and a lifetime of achievement.

Hmm clearly I need to repeat myself with you.

Let me know if you need a primer on logical fallacies. I am sure I can find one for your level.

Must have been the freedom fries, right?

Must suck living in a place with 450 million people none of which can think for themselves and instead are just vessels for the thoughts of other civilizations

Own up to your own crap if you want to fix it, or don’t own it and blame foreigners. See if I care.

Apparently what happens is you are rich, well-liked, respected, powerful, have a big family, and you live to a pretty old age.

Got to say your skydaddy is sending some mixed messages here.

Remind me again: doesn’t the Book of Job make it clear that anyone who says “x happens because you were bad, y happens because you are good” (without direct prophecy) is worthy of death? Doesn’t Leviticus make it pretty clear that you are not to interpret signs and omens? Doesn’t Solomon teach that good and bad happen to people regardless of how they act? Isn’t the actions of Jesus proof that success doesn’t mean virtue and neither does misfortune?

Try being an atheist, it is a lot easier. You get to just accept that if there is any justice in this world, it is the justice us humans make.

Are you a woman?

For anyone who doesn’t know you are probably a happier person not knowing.

Not sure how related this is but in my field, designing industrial control systems, each seperate physical button is about $100 added to the cost over a touchscreen. We call touchscreens HMIs just to be special and sound smart. I imagine the numbers are very similar for cars but I don’t have data to back that up.

Comic sans.

It is literally a font. Sometimes when some corporate partner is annoying me I will pdf lock a document, with a signature, to them in comic sans.
