It’s adorable how you think these jobs will be in the US. They’ll be in the philippines or a backwater of india and the workers will be lucky to get a day of training.

What’s really interesting to me as a middle aged science fiction fan is that a great deal of the egregious stuff that bad fans are doing to streamers is exactly the same stuff that bad fans have been subjecting sci fi writers to for many decades, right down to depressed young men showing up at the door expecting to be…

I will never be able to hear the name Yugo without thinking “The cutting edge of Serbo-croatian technology.”

That is the problem isn’t it? On another site a user was posting about an aggressive driver (guy was honking and angry because the person had stopped for a railroad crossing signal ffs) and another user advised them to be extra careful when confronting angry drivers due to the number of people who carry firearms these…

Because you’re responsible for the safety of a busload of children a lot of school bus companies regard violations of safety protocols as non-negotiable firing offenses. My wife drove school buses for 10 years and she saw more than one co-worker let got for “one mistake.” the most prominent being failing to do your…

I blame those damn little leagues and their sissy “No screaming at the players every single game until they all cry and that one kid commits suicide” rule.

Oh man at my house it was must see TV.

There’s hush money and then there’s “Oh god if this goes to trial we’ll go down like the fucking Hindenburg and we just want this whole thing to go away, Please!” money. Dao got the latter.

A few winters ago when it was really bad one of my friends saw a BMW driver with extra large coffee in one hand and steering with two fingers of the hand holding the danish hit…

Lefse with peanut butter and jelly was one of my childhood joys.

In a similar vein from Minnesota

As I read the article there’s a cat softly snoring on the footrest under my desk.

Proposal; a “mastermind detective” show set in Florida, but the main character’s qualifications are that he has a 120 IQ and stayed awake during his criminology classes.

That’s the first thing I thought of. I mean presumably the radar is there for auto-braking so that would reduce the chances of front end collisions, but that thing could get taken out by somebody doing a shitty job of parallel parking in front of you.

I assume that’s what happens to all the pidgeys I transfer in the game. Circle of life and all that.

Hmmm, I work in a pretty busy downtown and I see people jaywalking all the time, sometimes nearly getting hit by a bus as they scoot across. During rush hour there are often cops walking the streets in pairs and groups, yet they never seem to pay attention to the jaywalkers. Could it be because said jaywalkers are…
