In explaining where trust issues come from, I have referred to my children, on occasion, as “the raisin cookie in my chocolate chip bag”.

Raisin in cookies are LIARS. They sit there and LIE about being chocolate chips and you bite into them and it’s fucking FRUIT!!!!

Because shut up, Kyle.

Did you take it as a compliment?

Not sure what the confusion is about, Swift was obviously ripping off the Fleetwood Mac song “Tusk,” which featured the USC marching band and was released in 1979. Of course BeyBeys influence is so great that Fleetwood Mac was probably cribbing from her future catalog, two years before her birth. Sheesh!

I’ve worked at four corporations and have never been able to install anything whatsoever without a system admin password.

I guess it’s different security policies, i can’t even insert my USB drive or use the USB port on my laptop to charge my phone without bunch of warning pop up.  Do it too many times, and IT will contact you.

Hackers have broken the code securing Boring Co.’s super-secret design software, allowing us to peruse Elon’s never-before-seen plans for running tunnels under the LA basin:

Reminds me of this classic Amazon review for a smart thermostat. “Revenge is a dish best served at whatever damn temperature I choose”

I’d like to contest the following: doors, AC, heat, seat belts, power steering, power brakes, backup camera, Automatic Emergency braking, radio.

As a dad I enjoy new and exciting takes on the dad joke genre, I need to be able to be an embarrssment throughout the maturation process of my progeny, astrophysics dad jokes will kill in the future carpool. The dad jokes are not a bug, they are a feature!

We actually had a running joke for a bit when ever we had bad weather in the central Texas area. “At least we’re not in Endicott”.
