Never went back. Still haven't.

I have ADHD. In most of my formative years, I was on Ritalin and it wrecked my mental health. In high school, I pulled myself off it and my school grades tanked. I regret not finding an alternative other than "Caffeine makes me think somewhat right."

So I really have to wonder if the insurance required to run these places is over-priced as well.

I would watch that. I loved that show for the first few seasons.

The problem with the reboot wasn't that it was bad or didn't follow storylines, was that it was made for a different audience than the original show and/or comics and then forgot to tell that old audience. Watching it from the outside, it was hilarious and well written.

 

I once asked what media franchises need to just stop, that have run their time. Now I want to know which ones DID stop, and could be restarted with new content.

In Time. I love that movie.

I have a vim setup with plenty of plugins that honestly, I don't know if I need anymore.

In other words, management knows your job is bullshit and that is the exact reason for your job.

I've never heard of that. What is it?

After reading what I wrote, I do admit I wasn't saying the exact question I get annoyed with. It's when I am asked what brought me to apply specifically to that company. And it's rather difficult to come up with a better answer than the truth of I have 40 applications this week alone, you were one of them.

 

My big one is that they need to stop asking why I applied for their company. The real answer is I want a new job, and I blasted out a hundred applications. I didn't choose your company specifically.

I was an avid RPG player, collecting games and running with friends at clubs and stores and everybody's houses. But as many of these friends have fallen away and trends have shifted, and as I get older it's harder to make new friends for hanging out, I need to start reevaluating my hobby.

 

My favorite is when someone tells me that they are too old to learn about new technology, or that they can't use a device because they aren't very tech-y. No, you just refuse to learn.

 

It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

 

For me, it's small business retail. Point-of-Sale systems, physical inventory management, the existing options are not built for smaller operations or are not good.

 

The past couple of years, the amount of kids out on Halloween has dwindled down in my neighborhood. This year, my wife and I were at her cousin's house and we saw maybe a couple of kids walking around. My wife blames people going to Trunk or Treat things. We both work in retail, so we see more of the public, and nobody was in costume. What was everybody's experience with Halloween this year?

 

I have a few: Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU.

 

I'm shouldn't have ice cream due to my Type 2 diabetes, but once in a while, I stop at Mc Donalds and get myself a McFlurry with M&M's. I get a bit sick later, but I find it worth it.
