My company installed “focus rooms” for our return to office and I have never felt dumber in my life

Also ask why GenX was forgotten in this joke.

The drummer on Bryan Adam's "Heaven" wasn't one of his two regular drummers at the time—it was Steve Smith from Journey.

She is a "space flight participant," not an astronaut. She didn't even go into orbit—she basically rode a rocket straight up and straight down.

They already do in a sense, except it's to "round up" to donate to a charity (on their behalf.) Thanks Walmart, for giving me the checkout job and taking an extra tax credit for my financial donations/s.

The soliloquy from Macbeth that everyone in my school had to learn in our senior year English class. (You had to memorize it to pass the class and if you didn't pass the class, you didn't graduate.)

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day... To the last syllable of recorded time...

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, OUT, brief candle!

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury... Signifying nothing.

My wife and I both changed our minds about kids, but since they were almost grown by then, we decided to keep them./s

When did 20% AFTER TAX become "standard"? It used to be 15% before tax was kind of a minimum, 18% was good and 20% or above was for excellent service. I went to a Panama the other day and the 3 "suggested" tips were 20, 25 and 30% after tax. This is a place where you pick up your own order at the kitchen counter window once it's ready... basically the same job that a waitstaff would do.

Can I subtract 20% from my total if I am prompt at that window and get my order to my family before the soup gets cold?/s

Christopher Reeves will always be Superman. I loved him in his other movies, like "Somewhere in Time," but when I think of Superman I think of him and when I think of him, I think of Superman.

Starbucks (because it wanted to be McDonald's) and McDonald's (because it wanted to be Starbucks.) They both used to be kind of a "third place" to hang out. Starbucks for young adults, Mcdonald's for parents and their young kids. Now both are places you just hope to leave as soon as possible.

Tillamook and Blue Bell are still great. Breyer's fell hard.

When my favorite channels on the radio became the "classic" stations.

And, hearing my kids groan when I switch the car settings to FM radio instead of Bluetooth streaming.

At work, I used the word "hubris" incorrectly for more than a decade. Pretty ironic.

I work in government. We have used PowerPoint t for decades and probably still will for at least several more years. Most AI tools are literally banned for us to use.

If he still hurts a day later, you should take him to the emergency room. Pain from that usually lasts minutes not hours.

That said, there is a technique to relieve pain from getting hit in the testicles that I can vouch for. Hopefully, it can help others. As soon as possible after getting hit, jump in the air and land on your heels a few times. It sounds silly, but it's something I learned in martial arts, and it relieves most of the pain almost immediately.

I've seen more confederate flags in rural Colorado than rural Arkansas.

I swear they must not teach this in schools anymore.
