Where I live we call it "Minnesota nice". As a transplant I can't speak it well, so I have no idea what anyone thinks of me. It's pretty frustrating.

It just goes to show that the way others see us isn't the same as how we see ourselves.

Y'ALL. It seems like nobody here has read a blue beetle comic or seen the movie, and you're already shitting on it? Come on. This is the beginning of the new DCU, and any blue beetle fan can see from the trailer they're going to be doing some interesting stuff in this movie. Be nice.

Bookkeeping is easy to do from home, and since you've had some experience running a business you'll have a leg up. If you ever wanted to get an accounting degree (which is also possible with reputable fully online schools) you can easily get to $100k (US) in just a few years.

Last I checked, most of my content on r/all was r/aita and clone subs, r/weddingdress, and r/doordash, over and over and over. A lot of the subs that used to be on all never recovered from the blackout. My personal feed pretty much died because subs that would get 20+ posts a day went down to 1-2 a week.

I swear, it's actually really difficult to make ai women that AREN'T yassified. Is all the training data for what "real" women look like from Instagram?

I kinda miss flip phones? These days phones are too big for my hands and pockets. I find myself buying cheaper phones just so it's a little smaller.

1. Honestly, the most surprising thing is that most people hate it. I'm an accountant because I love numbers and organization, but didn't want to go into engineering. Every company I've worked for has an accounting department of very sad people. They talk about how they wasted their lives going into this career, "but at least it's a stable paycheck, y'know?".
2. The pay! I had a few different careers I was considering, but went with accounting because at the time it was one of the only careers with legitimate online degrees. I've been in the field 4 years now and make $100k. That puts me at the top 5% of household incomes where I live.
3. The lack of actual work. I'm here for opening the books at the beginning of the month, closing at the end, and not much else. 75% of my days are a whole lotta nothing. At my current job we bring in video games on Fridays and play at the office.

I was browsing random stuff on Spotify the other day and found some really relaxing music. Just the best music to listen to while chugging along at work. Eventually I looked at the album name... It was literally waiting room/elevator music.

Chris Pratt used to be well known for never using a spit bucket. His body and career have changed a lot.

I've been using the internet since the 90s. Originally I was very pro ad, since it meant that we wouldn't end up with paying subscriptions for every site on top of internet utility bills. But around 2010 or so I got malware from an ad I didn't even click on - all it had to do was load on the page. The site issued an open apology but it's not like they were going to pay repair costs for everyone's computers. After that I knew neither websites nor ad suppliers were vetting what they display to users. Companies only get more complacent as time goes on, and once the option was out there bad actors would only get more creative. I've used ad blockers ever since.
