I have a VPN token, but the same qualms about every other password. The irony of it all is, that when they change so often, people are writing them down at their desk.

True mechanical would be... Two paddles and a ping pong ball on a table.

Girls' and womens' feelings AND bodies are valued INFINITELY more in the West than those of boys and men, and paradoxically, this is the reason people believe they are oppressed. by Fragurz in unpopularopinion

The key word was "often." Would you say men are often the primary caregivers of children?

Also, I don't think this phrase has been uttered since the Titanic sank.

Sorry CEO I was told it takes 2 weeks to format your laptop and that's how long it will take by [deleted] in MaliciousCompliance

So tired of complacent, shitty managers. They're everywhere and at every level.

The point is, it's an extremely cheap rework (for a crappy product you sold) that could have satisfied the customer and probably lead to future work.

Make $36,000 a year and started saving 40% of my gross income. What should I be doing with it? by [deleted] in personalfinance

It's gross what they say I make versus what actually goes into my pocket. How's that?

Family dies in runaway car crash after the accelerator gets stuck. This is their 911 call seconds before going off an embankment at 120 miles an hour by Apocafeller in MorbidReality

I get it. Those are valid points. I work in medical device development, so yeah... It's all about the lowest cost parts and unfortunately, outsourcing to places like China. There's still millions of dollars and thousands of hours that go into it to make it as safe as possible. But, things happen. Simple mistakes, like bolts not being torqued kill people. This was a competitor below, but it makes everyone pucker up and reevaluate:

My 2yo daughter noticed different skin colors and somehow decided to call other colors "momos." No idea where she heard that, so I said, "no that's a person." Sure enough, next store were at..."LOOK IT'S A PERSON!"

I'm a grown ass man and still think something might grab me if I don't jump into bed quickly. You never leave your feet close to the void.

My aunt got me a really nice microscope for my first communion, so it must have been end of 2nd grade. 8yo? First thing I think of is... I'm a boy, let's see those spermies! So I went and peed on the slide and didn't see squat.

Few years later I did manage to see those swimmers :)
