If this isn’t a troll may I suggest taking a critical reasoning course or two?

nice catch, i hate typing on phones

this is the first line of Lamb of God’s Reclamation and boy does that song get more relevant every year

it was an IT job that typically requires it but the position i got slotted in didn’t. it’s just antiquated hiring managers thinking that people without a car can’t be trusted to show up for a shift

unfortunately they actually wanted to see it so I waited till I saw it enough and then started taking the bus eventually I sold the car but only after I was sure they wouldn’t be looking for it

i lived in my city for 7 years taking the bus and i eventually had to get a car because a few jobs wouldn’t hire me because i didn’t have “appropriate transportation”

anyway fast forward to being at the job for a while, the parking lot stretches on so long that it’s a 10 minute walk to the office from where i usually park, them i figured it i can take the bus to the building door in 15 minutes

so moral of the story is i bought a car to get the job and continued taking the bus

gog is low-key so essential, not just because it’s DRM free but because Gaben won’t live forever and who knows what happens to steam after he’s gone.

here it fucking comes, if you thought it was enshitified you haven’t seen anything yet!

i have this handy applicator that lets you skip that step, point and click, hk makes it.

the issue with our current system is that it requires those with the power to cede some of the tools that help them in power in order to fix it

it’s already doing that, in order to meet them in the middle we’d have to believe they were doing it in good faith which they aren’t

time to deliver a pizza ball!

I’m so sorry, text of the original Reddit post below.

My family poops big. Maybe it’s genetic, maybe it’s our diet, but everyone births giant logs of crap. If anyone has laid a mega-poop, you know that sometimes it won’t flush. It lays across the hole in the bottom of the bowl and the vortex of draining water merely gives it a spin as it mocks you. Growing up, this was a common enough occurrence that our family had a poop knife. It was an old rusty kitchen knife that hung on a nail in the laundry room, only to be used for that purpose. It was normal to walk through the hallway and have someone call out “hey, can you get me the poop knife”? I thought it was standard kit. You have your plunger, your toilet brush, and your poop knife. Fast forward to 22. It’s been a day or two between poops and I’m over at my friend’s house. My friend was the local dealer and always had ‘guests’ over, because you can’t buy weed without sitting on your ass and sampling it for an hour. I excuse myself and lay a gigantic turd. I look down and see that it’s a sideways one, so I crack the door and call out for my friend. He arrives and I ask him for his poop knife. “My what?” Your poop knife, I say. I need to use it. Please. “Wtf is a poop knife?” Obviously he has one, but maybe he calls it by a more delicate name. A fecal cleaver? A Dung divider? A guano glaive? I explain what it is I want and why I want it. He starts giggling. Then laughing. Then lots of people start laughing. It turns out, the music stopped and everyone heard my pleas through the door. It also turns out that none of them had poop knives, it was just my fucked up family with their fucked up bowels. FML. I told this to my wife last night, who was amused and horrified at the same time. It turns out that she did not know what a poop knife was and had been using the old rusty knife hanging in the utility closet as a basic utility knife. Thankfully she didn’t cook with it, but used it to open Amazon boxes. She will be getting her own utility knife now.

[Edit: Common question - Why was this not in the bathroom instead of the laundry room? Answer. We only had one poop knife, and the laundry room was central to all three bathrooms. I have no idea why we didn't have three poop knives. All I know is that we didn't. We had the one. Possibly because my father was notoriously cheap about the weirdest things. So yes, we shared our poop knife.]

oh yeah it’s very true but I mean the US Russia and China are definitely on the wrong side of history now
