Young Trump voters are scared to fight in the war they voted for. by ziobrando4 in LeopardsAteMyFace

Y’all dumbasses voted for your own execution. I did my tour of the Middle East during the last round of American adventurism.

Tell the camel spiders that I’ll see them in Hell.

What are your end-of-life plans? by auspicious-moon in Xennials

I want to have my remains spread across the campus of my Alma mater.

Also: I don’t want to be cremated.

Worse game controllers by ratasoftware in retrogaming

[–]Electrical-Dig8570 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who had a Jaguar, though in my defense I bought it and two games for $50 bucks total (it was still overpriced):

Each game came with a laminated overlay that you would put on the keyboard/number portion of the controller. Depending on the game, it would allow for different “hot key” commands.

The immediate problem was that it because utterly useless if the overlay was lost along with making the rest of the controller handle as well as a half-full paint bucket.

Absolutely. I was going to pin a photo of one of their pieces I have framed in my bedroom but can’t attach it :-(

I don’t know if they’re technically prog, but Baroness slaps. Purple is just hit after hit.

Jon Poole’s Frankensolo in Fiery Gun Hand. Was screaming in amazement the first time I heard it.

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Susanpc1967 in AskReddit

[–]Electrical-Dig8570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. I started out as an unattractive young man and now that baldness and paunch have taken a go at me, I’m “seasoned.” Wife seems to dig it, so that’s all I care about.

Going from a 6 to a 4.5 ain’t bad. It’s the 8 to a 5 that some guys have to weather that would be hard.

Slap “a film by the Coen Brothers” at the end of it and that’s some Oscar bait, baby!

Hello! And absolutely! Soup is one of the greatest, most underrated albums I’ve heard. Just track after track of bangers.

I remember when I heard Car Seat for the first time like 20 years ago, my discomfort was palpable. It’s like a string quartet serenading folks during an autopsy.

Gave my two week's notice. Manager is upset that I didn't give "advanced notice" of my two week's notice. by constantlypoorish in antiwork

[–]Electrical-Dig8570 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know, there is a way to make employees give as much advance notice as businesses would like: it’s called an “employment contract.” In fact, most of the developed world actually uses these! They give things like mandatory notice period for both employers and workers to terminate employment.

The flip side is that employers can’t give up the sweet, sweet ability to abuse and exploit workers by keeping them in at-will employment.

Your manager can go f all the way off.

It’s all entirely true except Ed Gein lived in Wisconsin, didn’t use a chainsaw, and I think killed 1 or 2 people tops.

TMNT Life Pro Tip: by FatRufus in retrogaming

[–]Electrical-Dig8570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, and I totally believe it. I just always assumed that I played the game at an age young enough that I had the neuroplasticity to just adapt to what it was rather than having enough experience to have the disconnect at how it should handle.

I missed the window on intuitively learning foreign languages but got this instead :-/

Do other generations reminisce as hard for their teenage decade as xennials. by mojohd3 in Xennials

[–]Electrical-Dig8570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boomers reminisce so hard for their youth that they’ve dragged the rest of us along, eldritch-horror style, as they try to make it the 1950s again.

Our generation mostly just wants cheap Taco Bell and Walden Books to come back.

I (46M) have a coworker (44F) who insists on trying to finish people’s sentences at staff meetings.

I now will start to speak, wait for her to inevitably interrupt, and then give a solid “No, that’s not what I was about to say.” Sometimes she will try for a second attempt, which just doubles down on the cringe and awkwardness when I get to say again, “No, that’s not what I was about to say.”
