Mrs. @Bonz50 has won second place in several essay contests. Sentient cactus emoji. Believes that Doc Hollywood (1991) is the blueprint of all good film/tv.

@GramsciGordon @TheWapplehouse I think (hope?) they must have been just checking the traps for smaller game, not intending to find a big cat
English
@TheWapplehouse Cougars tend to be pretty predictable when it comes to not attacking a group of humans head-on but bringing your boys to this? What the fuck man.
English
I’ve messed with alligators before but this might be too white even for me
English
@simonsarris @Duderichy Yeah I was going to say this pay out might even be less than the life insurance they’ve got. Good perk though
English
@Duderichy Google plans for this the very simple way (they have taken life insurance policies on employees since at least the mid 2000s)
English
this is super easy to offer when the majority of your employees are in their 20's and unlikely to die.

When a Google employee dies, the company offers one of the most generous safety nets in corporate America. A spouse receives 50% of the salary for 10 years, plus all vested stock. Children get $1,000 per month until age 19 (or longer if they're full-time students), and the benefit applies even to new hires. Google makes one thing clear family security isn't a perk it's a responsibility

@SwannMarcus89 From what I recall it isn’t even clear that the fish monster is sentient
English
It’s still incredibly weird that Guillermo Del Toro movie where a woman fucks a fish monster won best picture despite not even being very good
Was everyone just blinded by the sheer balls of having a woman fuck a fish monster in an Oscarbait movie?
English
@ChrisExpTheNews I for one thank that assistant shift manager for his great service to our nation
English
It is the view of the United States that the most stoned assistant shift manager at Taco Bell outranks the most mighty inbred German you have oversee your tourism industry
Benjamin Lewis@tc1415
@Blade_94 You know it's the view of the United Kingdom in diplomatics that the lowliest sovereign hereditary prince outranks the most mighty elected president? Not really enforced these days, but formally we'd put Trump after the Prince of Liechtenstein....

@SamwiseGLAMgee @ContraPoints i think apple's greatest innovation (GUI onwards) is making tech accessible for people with limited technical skill, and i think it took a leader with a non-technical skillset like Jobs to execute on that
English
He was right. The cult of personality around Jobs paved the way for the disastrous misreading of Musk.

Controversial take on Steve Jobs:
English
there could be an exception if you are taking artistic photos, I guess.
oh god, these men think their photos are art, that's the disconnect isn't it? they think they're most special artistic photographer boy that's why they think their photos of the object itself matter hahahah
English
it's not 1954 where the only way I'm seeing the pyramids is at my friends' vacation slideshow cocktail party. the ONLY point of taking a photo of something already photographed a million times is that you were there to see it
vittorio@IterIntellectus
reaching levels of "every single time" never seen before
English
@edmundbillings @ContraPoints I do think his "invention" of the iPhone is greatly overblown (not his idea nor invention, really, plus everyone alive then had thought "why don't they put the blackberry in the ipod") but he was definitely the leader who made it happen which deserves credit for sure
English
@ContraPoints claiming steve jobs is overrated because he didn't personally program the OS or whatever is a bit like saying a film director is bad because he's not the one rigging the lights

@RodKahx Yes, it is our moon. We were there first.
Do a land acknowledgement when you speak of it from now on.

@GovernorAnne that and she's shown the texts. that man loved her. (i am not convinced men have girl best friends they're not in love with, though.)
English
@fresafresca3000 I haven't read it yet, but that is unfortunate to hear from the author who gave us "You can't take good care of a thing you hate." 🫤
English
I think one of the hardest things to read in Adult Braces is the facile understanding of what fat liberation means, and what HAES and bodily autonomy mean. If someone heals their relationship with food, moves their body joyfully, and just happens to lose weight in that process, that's cool and good, perfectly fine. It's the torurous diet/restriction/yo-yo dieting that fat liberation has railed against, not a kind relationship with one's body!

@JodiesJumpsuit When it was a tape and he’d say things between the songs 🥰
English
Burnt Mix CDs. Playlists just aren’t the same. You got a burnt CD from a boy and you knew he spent at least four hours at his computer at it. He had to buy the CDs. He did graphic design. He tried to write legibly. The effort was obvious

People who actually experienced the 1990s: What is something you miss from that decade that just isn't the same today

GORSUCH: Do you think Native Americans are birthright citizens under your test? SAUER: Ah, I think ... so. I have to think that through.
English
that's fair. but what I don't get are the people who shit first thing into a portapotty at an event. Right after the fair opens and it's already stinking gross? couldn't have done that at home, where the toilet flushes, no, had to share it with the whole community
Polly Pocketknife🌸🔪@polypocketknife
if you can’t shit in a public restroom you need to grow up tbh
English
@GovernorAnne Does she still have that shirt bc what a good vintage look it would be
English
@JHochderffer @LedenUnor @davenewworld_2 Wouldn't it be much cheaper to cut a family member doing full-time care work a small stipend than to fully institutionalize the person needing care, though?
English
@LedenUnor @davenewworld_2 Yes, if there is no one to care for them.
No, if there is.
Short of “state care”, there are a myriad of assistance programs at all levels (city, county, state, federal) especially for low income disabled people.
English
This is insane. 59 million family caregivers provided 49.5 billion hours of unpaid care in a single year, with a total value of $1.01 trillion, according to the AARP. These Americans carry our system on their backs, but their labor is uncompensated and treated as invisible.
English
Whenever people complain about "millennial writing", what they're actually talking about is Joss Whedon/Dan Harmon dialogue (both Gen X, for the record).
sebastian castillo@bartlebytaco
as a firmly middle millennial i wonder sometimes if there’s a single cultural trope or inheritance my age group produced that has aged well. our mount rushmore is like, jim from the office, heckin doggo parlance, buzzfeed, reaction gifs. sad stuff
English
@AquelefetodeEva @ranmasaotome96 No I meant an example of the Millennial copies that fail. I agree Whedon writes well (particularly in the larger ensembles like this), I just don't actually ever hear of "Millennial humor" that isn't actually written by Gen X
