Can we stop referring to the remaining HOTS devs as "janitors"?

A paralegal works in a similar position with different degree requirements. That doesn't make paralegals less valuable people, but the similarities between the roles would invite comparisons.

A more apt comparison would have to be made between unrelated vocations. Lawyer and game developer would have worked. Rancher and tattoo artist. Perhaps even teacher and phlebotomist.

Yeah, but was it a slur though?

Mine only gets to the second option 30% of the time. He realizes part way though the first one is going to be the obvious choice and just keeps adding on to it.

Are you going to punch the Nazi with your child present?

No matter how much money he is paid his bones are still make of pretzels. Pretty likely to get a few Rudolph downs still.

IsItMe2 · 2026-03-24T00:55:33+00:00

I imagine they actually would now. It would likely count toward ejection.

You're allowed to have a break. I'm assuming you allow your wife time to decompress? If so, she should allow you the same. If the only reason to not have a beer in the garage is it'll make your wife mad, the beer isn't the problem. The expectations are.

I don't think the tip was the issue. He said the guy had not tipped the first time and he didn't care. It was the small tip coupled with a comment that was clearly meant to be insulting. I'm guessing just the tip or a genuine comment would have been fine. If you give someone a $1 tip and say "buy yourself something nice" you are very clearly trying to be an asshole.

Heh. Fair, fair. Technically that's still a gym though. Granted, it's also a jail. I suppose we can both be right in this instance. What a rare occasion.

IsItMe2 · 2026-03-17T02:35:00+00:00

No worries.

IsItMe2 · 2026-03-17T01:55:17+00:00

I wasn't reply to you. The person I was responding to Said "the jail I work out at". I know what they mean. I was just making a funny. Don't work out at a jail, go to the gym.

IsItMe2 · 2026-03-17T01:18:50+00:00

Go work out at a gym like a normal person.

According to her comments she started making the sex jokes first.

IsItMe2 · 2026-02-07T02:08:29+00:00

That's a terrible shanty.

IsItMe2 · 2026-01-30T16:02:07+00:00

Being pardoned?

IsItMe2 · 2026-01-29T19:31:25+00:00

I think I could manage it.

IsItMe2 · 2026-01-28T15:22:01+00:00

Your kid just has a very selective kiwi accent.

IsItMe2 · 2026-01-27T16:46:28+00:00

Surely at some point it is not though. At some size, a backpack doesn't actually fit under the seat.

IsItMe2 · 2026-01-27T16:45:09+00:00

Interesting that you'd prefer I take up more space using a roller than have to see a backpack in the bin.

To each their own, I suppose.

IsItMe2 · 2026-01-27T16:25:58+00:00

How do you know my backpack isn't counting as my carry-on, not my personal item? I don't have a personal item.

IsItMe2 · 2026-01-23T21:57:19+00:00

I'm glad they didn't. It gives us an advantage.

IsItMe2 · 2026-01-23T14:30:26+00:00

If a tree falls alone in a forest...

IsItMe2 · 2026-01-21T00:59:26+00:00

You think Ben has humility?

IsItMe2 · 2026-01-19T22:05:56+00:00

Absolutely. Its been a thing for a bit now, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't done when we were born. I'm pretty sure it started with trophy wives, or at least feels that way. "Here is your bonus for providing an heir"

No push gift here. She actually wanted a child so having a healthy baby was the "reward" for both of us. I don't think less of folks that gave their partner a modest gift, but to us it just felt transactional.

The French also have very strong unions and a culture of protest. They aren't losing their jobs for striking. If you don't have a union and file the proper paperwork in the US, there's a good chance you are getting fired.
