TexasDrunk
How many cows do they own in East Texas?
Thank you for the detailed and nuanced explanation. I feel much better informed now.
Isn't that just nationalism?
I've got a mouth like a sailor who stubbed his toe, mostly because I used to be a sailor who stubbed his toe a lot. Between my foul mouth and my either overuse or utter absence of fucking commas depending on how drunk I am I don't think I'll ever be mistaken for an LLM.
My boss didn't need Recall to do that to me a decade ago. He called me out for going offline in our messenger app for an hour after lunch while I was helping another tech sort an emergency for a client from their machine.
I told him that's fine, I'll just let everyone know that I won't be assisting and will show them that email every time anyone asks. He backed off, but not everyone is going to get that lucky to have a complete moron who is going to put dumb shit threats in writing without running it by anyone in legal, HR, or their own boss.
I saw this so often when I was client facing. CEOs, doctors, and sales people were the biggest offenders.
We had a gyno who had a huge pile of porn on his file server. It was all from the waist up. Seriously, he had half a terabyte of titty pics.
Separately, there was a sales guy who was juggling like 5 women (poorly) at any given time. He was fucking gross and would try to show them off to anyone who came to work on his continuous computer problems that were all caused by him.
Separately from that, we had a "troubled boys ranch" as one of our clients. One of the C Suite was caught with porn and we had to go over it with a fine toothed comb to make sure none of it was of any of the kids. There wasn't (thankfully) but there was a whole lawsuit about it and he was charged with showing it to some of the kids.
I don't even watch Doctor Who anymore because of the fucking fans. I grew up with the old series and thoroughly enjoyed the new stuff up until the fan base got so worked up about some stupid shit or other. After that I just couldn't get any joy from watching.
I should have just tuned them out, but it's too late. I got a bad taste in my mouth and it won't go away.
Granted, most hobbies are money pits or conversely time sinks,
Or both! I build guitars for fun and, while I've made a few bucks selling some, I'll never break even and I've spent countless hours doing it. Same with working on motorcycles except I have never made a dime doing it.
I guess the bright side is that at least I don't own a boat.
Same. Something like Giant Gila Monster vs The Psychic Worms from Rigel 9, and all the human parts are something like Firefly with some Cowboy Bebop and Trigun thrown in.
I like space westerns. I like giant monsters. Surely we can make a space western with giant monsters.
Same here, and for approximately the same reason (I left her because of the broken trust, she tried to get me back with a plan to fuck with me but I was already too fucked up over it).
It wasn't my final relationship, but I'll die alone and pretty happy. I have a couple of people that I actually trust and, same as you, a butt load of acquaintances that I enjoy being around. I generally use "friend" as shorthand for those people, but they'll never really know me.
I'm very up front about relationships having a shelf life.
