My company has one every year. Heck, it is even just our regional department, so each department has its own.

It was 80's themed this year. They had live music and even a Back to the Future mocked up Delorian outside of the venue. A couple of free drink tickets, free buffet style food all around, a bunch of 80's arcade machines, and a pretty awesome raffle.

The company is also employee owned and not beholden to stockholder parasites.

It's amazing what a company can do when your profits aren't maximized and sucked out.

Wall Street should be burned to the ground and billionaires crucified over its ashes.

Fuck Excel and Microsoft for tying auto save to OneDrive.

Only people from Chicago give a shit about what other people put on their hot dogs.

New Yorkers don't give a shit.

There was a brief moment, while I was going through SERE training, in the Navy; it was before we were "captured" but long enough that I hadn't eaten in a while. We were in the low mountains of SoCal, dry and hot. Whenever we would stop movement for a moment and take a seat, I could smell when an ant was on me.

I didn't recognize what the smell was at first until I saw an ant, after smelling it. I hooked him on my finger and brought him close to my nose and it was clear, he was the source.

I couldn't describe it very well though, not a common smell to me. Never experienced it since.

Maybe it was the combination of no food or bathing, and heightened stress. My SiL also went through SERE, says she has no idea what I was talking about, and just makes fun of me about it. But she's also the type of person who would lie about it, just to fuck with me.

So who knows.

When that major drama unfolded with him getting booted then re-hired. It was super fucking obvious that it was all about the money, the data, and the salesmanship He is nothing but a fucking tech-bro. Part Theranos, part Musk, part SBF, part (whatever that pharma asshat was), and all fucking douchebag.

AI is fucking snake oil and an excuse to scrape every bit of data like it's collecting every skin cell dropping off of you.

Taiwan made a sarcastic comment.

Essentially calling out their policy of "Territorial Integrity", they told them to take back land they gave to Russia

Hot take:

China has lost all faith in Russia. Is reorganizing to reflect that.

And maybe is even considering Taiwan's advice, lol.

Article says Jill pulls $85k. So the rest is probably investments, which is pretty damn modest, considering their age.

They are seriously trying to blame WSB for this?. LMAO, Fuck Spez.

How does that piece of shit cop sleep at night?

Jesus these guys are clowns. The people that vote for them are just... Sad.

We will absolutely have automation but the workers will just be fired and all profits will be absorbed by the stockholder.

No cost savings will be passed on the other consumer either.
