"I only got so many fucks to give. I'll pass on this one."
This is a healthy mentality... So long as it's not something essential...

Stop delaying that thing you need to do. You can't pass on it.

I give 1% to my union. My pay is ~10% better than it would be if we didn't have it, and management gets in huge trouble if they mistreat workers. And by trouble, I mean they fired a manager when they scheduled a worker over their lunch break.

I was wondering how Signal handles this. Thanks for the info.

Phone makers: hmm this isn’t selling. Guess we’ll only make phones that look like and do the exact same things as every other phone.

What? I don't do good under pressure. Oh, maybe Under Pressure... hmm... nah... I mean it's good, but thematically isn't matching 100%.

Not to mention they get up to 3x electoral college voting power depending on how empty their state is.

A significantly larger chunk of my taxes are being used to subsidize military killing machines for wars outside my country. I got complaints, but a library ain't one.

When you're running for your life and thinking you should have improved your cardio. You never use that gym membership. Everyone is too intimidating there. Maybe it'd be better to invest in a treadmill. Wait, you looked into that before. Wasn't it too expensive? [train of thought diverges for another minute] Wait, why did I come to this room again?

In my first CS class, the professor announced an extra credit project due at the end of the semester. It was to create a formatted terminal calendar given a year from user input. I finished it after learning about condition but before I learned about classes... or functions... or loops... or searching the internet... partially. I searched how leap years worked, but didn't bother to search for code (Stack Overflow didn't exist yet)

Anyway, long ass program with each month hard-coded with 7 possible calendars for each month depending on the first day of the week. Lots of copy and paste. Professor was speechless, but accepted it.
