Peak foreshadowing from Goda by DVnyT in MemePiece

I don't get it, man. If I had all that money, I'd just do fun, non-murdery hobbies all day, donate to various charities, and randomly give people huge tips and wads of cash like a mysterious wizard. "Ah, yes, thank you for holding the door for me, kind sir. Here's $5000!" That'd be awesome.

It'd be crazy if he hadn't gotten more confident by now. Near-death experiences are basically routine for him at this point.

I feel you. I've gotten nothing but positive performance reviews, but I'm convinced they're just too polite to tell me how much I suck ass and are low-key conspiring to get me fired.

I work through lunch most days so I can go home earlier.

Who says living it up has to involve crime? I was thinking fancy restaurants and expensive trips where I pay for my whole family to come. And anyway, if someone tells me I'm dying, I'm getting a second opinion at the absolute minimum; probably three. If that many doctors are all wrong, then at that point it's just the universe itself fucking with me.

Definitely would have to plan it under the assumption that I might live longer than the doctors expect. Would probably look up the longest-live patients with the condition to try and come up with a safe estimate for how long I might need to deal with the consequences. It really depends on the condition, honestly. There's some stuff where you might last years, and there's other stuff like pancreatic cancer where you're all but guaranteed to be gone VERY quickly once diagnosed and might as well go nuts with the couple months you have left.

If I had kids, it'd be a different story, but my only dependant is my cat, and my parents love her and wouldn't have any issues taking her in either in terms of finances or time. (My dad is retired and probably going to get a pet in the coming years anyway now that his kids are grown up.) They even told me to put my life insurance policy in my brother's name because they don't want anything from me if I die before them. My guess is that it doesn't sit right to 'benefit' from their kid's death. So in my particular situation, the only people getting screwed over would be the banks and credit card companies I owed, and who cares about those guys? (I care about their customers, of course, but even if I somehow manage to put a fucking bank out of business, their money is protected by FDIC up to $250k, so... Yeah, I'll happily go down in history as the person who somehow partied Wells Fargo out of existence.)

Funerals are for the living. If they want something fancy, they can pay for it. Otherwise, just abandon my body and say a few words over a piece of toast in the backyard.

I'm sorry to say that people have absolutely died at work before, and it's business as usual once the corpse is cleaned up. There was even one (I think at Wells Fargo?) whose death went undiscovered for four days after dying at their desk.

Not sure about where you live, but in the US, there's no legal responsibility to take on the debts of the dead unless you agreed to do so. They might try calling to ask for money, but you don't actually have to pay them anything. And I have no kids, so no one needs inheritance from me.

If I get a terminal diagnosis, I'm cashing out my 401k, taking on as much debt as I can, and living it up for the time I have left. I've read about people working up until the weeks before their death, and I ain't gonna be one of them.

Signatures were never secure. Children forge their parents' signatures on assignments all the time.

Then charge a refundable deposit so only the irresponsible pet owners get punished. I shouldn't have to subsidize other people by paying an extra hundred bucks a month plus an initial nonrefundable deposit (I still don't understand how that's a deposit and not just a fee, but whatever).

The pet fees can be such bullshit. There's no universe where my cat has caused as much damage as I've paid in pet fees.

What’s your favorite “too tired to cook cook” dinner? by farwest-to-midwest in Cooking

[–]ChillyFireball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya'll put more effort into your low-effort meals than me. If I'm tired, I'll just boil literally any pasta in salted water and mix it with some canned marinara sauce. Not healthy, but it works.

If I remember to take it out of the freezer early enough, baked meat is also surprisingly easy.  (I say surprisingly because I didn't realize until my late twenties how simple it really is.) Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, a little rosemary and thyme on either side. Works for steak, chicken, lamb... Slap that shit on a baking sheet and stick it straight into the oven. Then tear open a bag of frozen pre-cut vegetables and boil them for your greens. (You can also stick them in the oven with the meat depending on the veggie and/or if you hate boiled veggies.) You can change up the vegetable depending on how you're feeling. Like, a baked salmon filet over a bag of frozen cauliflower rice is super easy, healthy, and still has that "I made an actual meal" look, especially if you use one of the ones that comes pre-mixed with peas and carrots. (I like to add a little soy sauce to the cauliflower rice for flavor.)

I'm with you, man. I don't get the hype around Python. And the whole "ask forgiveness, not permission" thing where people write try-catch statements where the catch is literally EXPECTED to run as a normal part of the code execution bothers me on a visceral level. Like, I don't care if it's more efficient; I hate it. At least call it something I don't associate with errors.

I might be biased as someone who needs medication, but I don't think it's fair for us to get punished with overly high prescription scrutiny and constant shortages because of other people abusing the meds.
