I grew up as the “IT guy” in small town America.
This guy, and the people here (not you) sound like a lot of people I know. I’d look for a different job and grow your passion somewhere else. It isn’t worth it. You won’t change them, and they’re just going to make you feel like you’re wrong, even though you’re right. It’s like the movie Idiocracy.
One of my coworkers carries a flipper zero around and opens up every single Tesla gas door we see. He hasn’t tried it on the cybertruck yet, the ones I see are usually on the move.
I am getting so irritated with AI everywhere. It doesn’t even work right. It just seems so lazy
I know you’re a stranger, but I get the keys to the apartment in about an hour!!!
I want to tell everyone, but I have nobody to tell. I’m FINALLY going to have a home to go home to.
Secondhand lions, the pursuit of happiness, and the good neighbor (2016)
I’m doing it!
The crysis center already has an apartment for me. They’re going to pay first months rent and deposit, I can even have my cats with me!
Since I left my wife, I’ve been saving sooooo much money. I know how to cook on a budget, the kids aren’t picky, and I’m not wasting my money on door dash!
It’s gonna be a tough journey, but I can do this!
I think I’m on my way to happiness.
I finally left my abusive wife this week. It was really scary, and she keeps sending me threats (to take me for child support and ruin my life) but I was able to get ahold if a crisis center for abused people, thankfully they have support for men. The crisis center is going to help me tackle all the debt she’s put me in and get me into an apartment that will have room for me and my kids!
Yesterday for the first time in 14 years, I was completely free. I just drove around town. I went and got an ice cream cone, and I got a Mexican Pizza from taco bell, and nobody insulted me, put me down, or made me feel worthless. I got a glimpse of me and I really miss that guy. I used to have the nick name smiley because I always walked around with a shit eating grin on my face because I love life and I love my job, but she’s worn away at me lately.
I might be homeless technically, but I have a safe space until I can get on my feet. I get my kids tonight, we’re going to have a pizza party and play Mario Kart together. I think everything is going to be fine soon…
Buy 10 spatulas and get one FREE!!
Thank you, I appreciate that
What’s the first song that plays in the car?
I am not in a position to Shazam it.
He had a couple hot wheels out on the counter and I asked about them, so he was excited to share his hobby with me.
My friend says I act like this.
I read a book called “how to win friends and influence people” and it completely changed my life for the better once I started taking the book literally.
Everybody tends to be selfish and think of themselves (not in a bad way). If you play into this and learn what people are interested in, you instantly become interesting to that person.
“Hey Ricky, how’s your hot wheels collection! Get any new classics?” True story, different name. That’s just the butcher at the grocery store I frequent. He’ll tell me all about his latest hot wheels collection, and then I get a discount, we both win. I’ve made a friend, and influenced him to give me a deal.
Oh I absolutely would ask for consent. I’m in a college town, so it got easy for me to read people. Some people want silence and I could feel it, and I had a kill switch for the sub just in case.
I did lyft pre-covid and I loved it when people would sit up front.
I had a 12" sub and I’d let people sync their Bluetooth or request music and bump through town. I made so many temporary friends!
Good times…
These must be very comforting words for this fella!
Kinda off topic, but why do homeless people always seem to have a phethora of bike rims? Like just the rims
Aw man. Get me a bowl of cocoa puffs.
Free chocolate milk after you’re done. Yes please.
I saw one in person 2 days ago. I took a picture, and none of my coworkers think it’s a real picture (or that I took it).
It was surreal. I could see it coming from WAY down the road and I was thinking to myself “there is absolutely no way I am seeing a cybertruck right now”
I am dumbfounded they actually made them. I still can’t believe what I saw the other day
The spices at the grocery store I’ve been going to for the past 25 years has had the spices alphabetized this entire time.
Edit, I misread the question but I’m not fixing my response
