I had nightmares from Dawn of the Dead for weeks. I was 8 or 9 when my mom tried to show it to me, lol

Did they at least play Cool for Cats?

(This is the only song of theirs I know)

Supposedly my mother's maternal grandfather (so, my great-grandfather) wrestled a bear. Also supposedly, there is a statue somewhere in West Virginia to celebrate this fact.

I've done some surface level searching online for this but haven't found anything. Cool to think about, though!

What's wrong with Wiccans? I know a few, they're fine people.

Would you also reject your humanity?

 

The rule could be anything, as funny or as serious as you want. The universe will progress in a similar way that it has up until this point, unless your changed rule prevented it from doing so.

Some examples might be:

  • The invention of currency is not allowed.
  • Iron is slightly less stable.
  • The Ancient Greeks are able to cultivate Silphium, which does not go extinct now.

The big incident at my previous job was the (extremely incompetent) HR person accidentally sharing a spreadsheet of every employee's salary. I was an hourly worker at the time and thought it was funny, but some of the senior engineers were pissed to find out how much more other engineers made. HR was not fired, instead she was put on a temporary paid leave.

Other incidents include:

  • One of the owners' vape exploded, forcing everyone to evacuate.
  • VP of the company got caught buying escort services on the company credit card.
  • Aforementioned owner (who was no longer an owner after the company was bought out) got fired shortly after a town hall zoom meeting, where he used a Trump/Pence background.
  • The head of the NOC team had a stroke at work.
  • COO "accidentally" revealed in front of everyone that one of the Project Managers had cancer. She sued, and they settled.
  • COO verbally abused one of the senior managers over the phone during a big meeting. He sued, and they settled.

It was a pretty shitty company.

I'm a simple chips enjoyer (or crisps if you're a Britbong). Something salty to balance the sweet jelly. I usually eat crunchy peanut butter, so it's already a little savory.

For me, the bread is part of the experience of the PB&J. You have piqued my interest, though. How do you prepare this PB&J burrito?

I know Anon is, uh, joking and we shouldn't use a 4chan greentext for real discussion, but the wrath and envy points are why I'm more inclined to believe the Gnostic version of Christianity over the others. It's super weird and telling that the Judeo-Christian God is extremely jealous.

Not sure if anyone has said this, but hold your breath and swallow three times. The last one can be a little tough, but it has worked for me I'd say 90% of the time.

Heyo, me too! I tried as a kid and busted my knee when I fell off, and gave it up.

(Picture alt text: a screenshot of my phone's call log, with numbers redacted (just in case). The phone numbers (except for one) are all spam calls)

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this, but I am at my limit with these.

Constantly throughout the day I get spam call after spam call. I constantly report them to Google (I've got a Pixel 5, if it matters), yet nothing changes. This has been happening for months.

These calls will also leave the exact same, completely silent, 4-second voicemails. I will block and report spam, but you know how it is. There's no way to turn voice mail notifications off, and I wouldn't necessarily want to, because I know I'd miss something genuine or important.

What do I do? Is there anything I can do, beyond changing numbers? Even then, I'm sure a new number would exist in some database somewhere and be victim to more spam calls. This is heinous.

Thanks for reading. I'm just so frustrated.

Edit: this got a lot more attention than I anticipated. I appreciate the suggestions for different spam blockers and settings! It's also nice knowing I'm not alone. Hopefully, at least in the US, we'll get some real legislation eventually that will kill these spam calls once and for all.
