This brings back a memory of earlier depravity.

As a teen, I worked at a local sub sandwich joint. It wasn't uncommon to get requests for mayonnaise and these sandwiches got a bit on the top bun. Requests for extra mayo got a smear on the top and bottom buns. A rare few customers insisted on extra extra extra mayonnaise. Ludicrous volumes of mayo. I always asked them if they were sure, informing them it was going to be a lot, probably too much. Informed consent and all. I made something special for these misguided souls: the mayo trough.

They'd get the standard extra mayo smear on the bottom bun, but the top bun was where the magic happened. I'd press a concavity into the inside of the bun, completely fill it in with mayonnaise (a foot long sandwich took about 1/3 cup), then gently nestle it atop the fillings. When they'd bite into their sandwich, they were rewarded for their foolishness by it spurting mayonnaise and other condiments everywhere, like a culinary Peter North unloading into a roast beef sandwich.

We didn't get a lot of repeat requests.

Blocking PJ is the single best decision I've made to reduce my exposure to wholly unnecessary Lemmy drama. They toxic AF. Before I knew who they were, I had a very tiring conversation with them, I can't remember on what subject anymore. I checked their post history to find they were arguing the opposite point with someone else.

They seem to only be interested in riling people up and "winning" arguments however possible. If we were betting on why, my money would be on untreated mental illness, maybe ADHD.

You are a master of imagery.

Fuck, my neighbor says the same every time Trump says something awful. "Trump just talks a lot of shit, he's just joking."

Fuck you neighbor, you approved leadership from the guy who encouraged putting kids in cages.

It's actually Steve Huffman, AKA "Spez", and the website Reddit.com.

OMFG I haven't laughed this hard at an Internet comment in years.

Any parent who says you owe them love and respect simply because they birthed you is likely someone you should cut ties with. Don't ask me how I know.

I love my chosen family far more than most of my genetic relatives.

And board game players!

A few jobs back, my employer promoted me once within a year of starting from a new college graduate position to a junior position, then strung me along for three years with "you're just not quite ready for a mid level position but you will be. Any day now!" This was all in spite of me doing the work of a senior position within the company for the last two years.

So I got a job at a different employer and went from a junior position to a senior position, like magic, nearly doubling my total income in the process. My coworker did the same, hopping from a senior position to a management position at my current employer. I've increasingly observed how corporate United States is painfully stupid and inefficient and it continues to boggle my mind
