Interesting that you picked one from the “B” words..


My kids watch streamers on YouTube and the common replacement is “frick”. It’s said so often that they started using it saying things like “what the frick!?” so I had to explain to them that’s essentially the same as using the real word.


I wonder why they didn't just use the "frack" from BSG?


Takes a person of culture to watch BSG


This story reminds me of how the original owners of the Highland Mint (they make the coin for the Super Bowl coin toss) were swindled out of their company.

Would you say the same thing if we're talking about caffeine? I know many productive members of society that spend all day drinking coffee. They would even suffer actual withdrawal symptoms if they tried to stop.


I certainly would.


I found that with the pens/oil I have no self restraint. It's just too convenient and easy to take a quick puff anytime I would feel stressed, bored, etc. Whenever I get an oil cartridge I smoke it every day until it's gone.

Lately I switched to gummies only. It helps because I need to be more deliberate. For me they take an hour to kick in and last a few hours after that, so I know I'm making a conscience choice of whether or not I want to be stoned for the next few hour.


It looks like where you went wrong was replying with a screenshot of your calendar. That and the likely passive aggressive text accompanying it was probably a red flag for Jacob. The fact that you posted this drivel vindicates him.


my thoughts exactly, the whole post has a whiff of passive aggressive attitude,

all the names and accusations, it reflects extraordinarily badly on the writer, primarily

goes to show that intelligent people with hurt feelings are doing idiotic things and end up harming themselves just to "get back" to the other side


I listened to an interesting podcast about how the first every Duty Free shop was started in Shannon airport.

I actually enjoy my commute. About 30-35 minutes each way. Gives me time to listen to a podcast and mentally separate my work and home lives.


This is an excellent analogy. I've been struggling to understand why I feel like I'm one of the minority that (like OP) isn't really in love with WFH. You just described my motivation in one simple sentence.


Why would you find it hard to believe Joe Rogan has an actual registered nurse RN working for him? Not like he can't afford one.

My wife currently works as a nurse at a hospital. She's tired of the poor working conditions at the hospital so she's applying to work at an infusion center for better hours and pay.
