While job searching this year, I had someone ask “are you okay with me using an AI assistant to record your voice to take notes during the call?”

To which I said no.

She then said “sorry but the position has been filled, we can go ahead and cancel this interview”

You know those metal benches with metal arches for “arm rests” a lot of cities installed about a decade ago?

A lot of them use standard size bolts and Allen keys. No security, or maybe torx if anything.

Also an adjustable crescent wrench and multi-size Allen wrench tool fit nicely inside a pocket.

A cordless impact driver and associated bits fit in a small backpack as well.

What do those tidbits of info have in common?

Well that’s up to the reader.

TO BE CLEAR, in case anyone doesn’t understand, I am advocating for people to go out and disassemble anti-homeless architecture as a fuck you to the people who put it there. Being homeless is never a choice (not counting extreme outliers). Life is already shitting on them, denying them even a bench to sleep on for the night is just evil.

You can be crummy Alpha Quadrant

We’ll be Quadrant 1.

You can never get a word in edgewise when he’s around.

without the issue of spine cracking that glued, perfect-bound books are prone to

My first edition copy of The Crystal Shard by RA Salvatore cracked a few years ago and in the last move I lost a page somehow.

Stitched is 100% better AND allows me to easily re-cover an old book.

He was a union man.

The things I inherited from my grandpa are valuable.

0 chance I’d even consider selling them. I will be giving them away or willing them to people when I die/get older though.

I’d say I don’t believe it, but I’ve seen someone beat dark souls with a guitar, so who am I to question the lengths people will go through to be able to say “git gud”

“he who saves his country commits no crime”

Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it’s the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.

I’ll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there’s basically a countrywide accepted “standard response”

I know what I’m watching tonight…

So they’ll have to give her a job again. But then she won’t be homeless anymore.

I can confirm, having a job (or 3) does not provide a home.

you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?

Shame, I guess you’ll have to stab some tires. No choice, really.

Make sure you don’t poke any high pressure tires, your hands and arm bones will thank you!

Ooh nice, cheaper eco-friendly alternative!

Girl, some days…

As an American, what the fuck are you talking about?

Good to see the police openly lying

… Have they ever done anything else?

Damn I’ve got so many women to cut ties with, since apparently we can’t be just friends and my wife would probably not be okay with me lusting after all of them.

Oh wait, I forgot this isn’t a twisted manosphere world, it’s real life!

Valve stem tool. Any bike shop worth going to will have one, and almaot any auto shop should have some.

Loosen the stem, and you don’t even have to sit there letting the air out. Just walk away and let it deflate.
