I'm so tired with everything, I don't have the energy to do anything except play video games when I'm not at work and it's killing me. I need like a year off of work to take care of the countless looming DIY house projects that I've allowed to build up since COVID started and reset my brain.

Also my job is still relatively cushy but it's become significantly more annoying in the two years I've been here, I have a good relationship with my boss but the rest of senior management puts up a huge fight any time I try to do my job because it might make their lives 1% more difficult. Like sorry Susan, but I'm not giving you written or verbal permission to do [very bad thing that I'm being paid specifically to prevent] because "that's the way we've always done it" (the worst possible justification to do anything btw) and you don't want to do 10 more minutes of work every week, only boss can override it. Then it escalates to boss and we continue wasting everyone's time, repeat ad nauseum on a weekly basis.

This but there's a plot twist, where during the time you are trapped and alone with your thoughts it leads to the revelation that you are trans at hour 126 so the solution is actually not that big of a deal (except for the blood loss)

You know it's the most logical and efficient system of economics when the speculative value of major corporations swings by 5-10% every time a 78-year-old makes a social media post.

Absolutely hilarious play by TikTok and probably the most easily avoidable PR disaster for the Democrats in decades. I laughed so fucking hard when I saw this, I can only imagine the panicked phone calls that are happening right now.

I know it's just cop-speak but framing the perps as "attackers" when they were barricaded in the house is pretty ridiculous.

I have known and worked with several orthodox jews and the loopholes really are incredible. They all can't use light switches on Shabbat but they can set timers ahead of time, they all have different amounts of time they have to wait in between meat and dairy for it to be considered kosher, married women can't show their hair in public but a wig that looks exactly like their hair is fine, etc. Like why are you trying so hard to skirt these rules that you have imposed on yourselves? They are all a sneeze away from self-awareness but always swing in the other direction instead.

The link is not 100% but two hunters eating from the same deer population and falling ill at around the same time is extremely unlikely to be a coincidence.

We are essentially one mutation away from this spreading between humans and that would be very, very bad.

Prior to the ship hitting the support column, you can see it lose power, then regain power, then thick smoke starts billowing out the top, then it loses power again, and regains power again seconds before contact.

Could the bridge have been engineered to be strong enough to survive an impact by a >100k ton ship? Maybe, but it seems like better backup and emergency systems on these huge ships might be a more practical idea. Obviously we are still very light on information.

The NHL further cementing its reputation as the least LGBTQ friendly major professional sports league after a whopping seven players didn't want to wear optional pride jerseys during warmups last season. Literally rolling over to keep a handful of bigots happy. Disgusting.

How many air purifiers can you buy with the money you save on gas and vehicle maintenance every year?

I'm kind of bummed about this, the game already has a ton of content but BoTW had some great challenging DLC and ToTK would have definitely benefitted from something similar.

Not nearly long enough, but it's beautiful to see another one of these dipshits find out.

Encourage your crabs to do some light stretching because I have a feeling they will be dancing soon

Incredible that he just kind of tried to re-integrate like nothing ever happened after the mutiny incident, but I guess once you do something like that and you're an international political figure it's impossible to make yourself disappear and you're probably going to get got regardless of what you do. RIP to a true madlad.
