I used to play runescape with a neighbor from elementary school up through middle school. We even gifted each other membership a few times for birthdays.

Lost touch with him in high school, except for one time he showed off that he was up pretty high on the leaderboards and doing competitive shit.

Ran into him this weekend, it's been like 20 years. Both had our kids out at a park. Caught up.on a bunch of stuff, but my dumb ass forgot to ask him if he still played, and what he though of the upcoming sailing skill release in Old School Runescape.

And? It's not halloween yet, and even so, we still have a month before Thanksgiving.

But I guess just fuck the people too busy to decorate for Halloween at the start of September.

Hey, everyone knows you need to wait for the answer to open the door.

Republicans are traditionally, and on paper, the party of "small government". "Fuck off feds, it's none of your business" type shit. Some just wanted a small central government that let states and local government make their own choices, some wanted as small a government as possible at all levels.

Which is also why you see a minority of old school republican voters refusing to call Trump's clown show republican.

That capitalization style is meant to be mocking, because the current dipshits in power clearly don't have any intentions of "small government".

How are you doing?

You know, same piss, different pants.

If you search from the "google search app" or the home screen seach bar on most android phones, it's very very difficult to get real links.

None of the URL cleaner tools I've found are able to resolve them to the real destination either.

I'm glad you like your city, but I'll be over here, not living somewhere I need a dedicated two person system to avoid walking through human feces.

It's kind of amazing just how much that simply isn't a problem in so very much of the world, and how adaptable people are to bad situations.

As someone who works as a sysadmin/systems engineer in a Windows environment, I find your analogy is a bit extreme. Not denying the issue, it's a constant frustration and problem. It's just that I find you can get a lot farther than most people think.

So less "hood's welded shut" and more "Why the fuck are the headlights a single unit? I just need to fix the high beams! Why is the transmission welded shut? Who in the fuck wired the radio and power steering together? And why in the hell is none of this documented anywhere?" Maybe that's worse, tbh. You can get very deep, but most of it is horrors.

Thanks for the additional context. But that just makes this whole thing even more disgusting.

That's entirely non-consensual. He's literally labelled "unsuspecting boy".

I like to set calendar appointments 15 to 30 minutes before the end of my shift for "paperwork" or shit like that. Clear out some emails, close some tickets that I left open, update my notes, read work related news. My work pays for training, so I can also check out training courses to see what looks useful in that time.

Still work, but not burning through tasks or todo list. Give myself time for the shit that ends up on the backburner when everything is a high priority.

A reminder to wrap up what I'm working on if I'm "in the zone" and to give myself enough time to make notes and such so I don't have to keep shit churning in my head outside of work.

The most important thing is that I don't look at the queue during that time. I don't pick up any new work or start a new task. I try to enforce that almost an hour before ending my shift as I do high focus work where a single "task" can take over a hour.

Had too many times getting home late to a frustrated wife and a concerned toddler, for shit that could have waited. And please believe me: it all could have waited. If it can't wait, that means your manager hasn't adequately staffed to fulfill the needs. Not your problem.
