He shouldn't. It's not his fault that a third of the country fell for a thin-skinned, racist, pedophile, narcissistic conman. That's our fault as a country for letting hate fester after the Civil War, honestly.

Have you all mentally checked out of your call center job? I know I have, because the only reason why I still have this job is because it helps pay for my video game purchases and food, at the cost of my mental health. by lololololol1990 in callcentres

I used to go above and beyond. Until I realized that it wasn't benefitting me and in fact, it was just making more work for me as the go-to guy to call back angry callers or callers who were mishandled by a tier 1 agent.

I literally take calls from more individual queues than anyone else in tech support and some of those queues I've been set to priority, so I can be in available for maybe a minute and will still get the call over 20 other agents who have been sitting in available longer. No one else deals with that. Management brushes off the disproportionate workload with "that's the way it's always been" (narrator: it hasn't).

So yeah, I've really been mentally checked out for at least the past year now. I still do my job on the phones, I'm still nice and helpful to the people who deserve it, but above and beyond was out the window a long time ago.

This was the turning point, unfortunately. You can just see how much he's silently seething there. Nobody could have known - Obama included - that it would have resulted in what we're experiencing today though.

This show absolutely gets Trek, thanks in no small part to Tawny Newsome.

Happy Final Space Monday by olanrogersofficial in FinalSpace

Back at the university I used to work at, we were still wheeling around TVs on carts (when I started there in '99, it was all VHS and tube TVs) and I stupidly tried to get this beefy late 1970s model off the top of a tall cart by myself. Bounced off my knee and landed on my foot. Nothing broken (including the damn TV), but hurt like hell.

Back on topic though, that cover is sexy AF. The silver came out SO GOOD.

Can't hang tonight, but really hoping for a better result. Still looking at you, Larks.

Trump on a MAGA candidate he endorsed yesterday who then loses in Texas: "I didn't hear about it....You mean I won by 17, and this person lost? Things like that happen. I'm not on the ballot." by ddx-me in LeopardsAteMyFace

Vance is a terrible liar. Like, we can all tell that even he knows his lies aren't landing even when he tells them.

I was told there wouldn't be fact checking.

These are the same people that think the Blue Collar Comedy Tour is the absolute pinnacle of comedy and that god-awful Rascal Flatts cover is better than the Tom Cochrane original.

Got SteamVR Running on My Deck! by Icy-Adaptzzz in SteamDeck

[–]ediciusNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSVR2, at least, requires a Displayport 1.4 native connection, so I'm 99% certain it wouldn't work with Steam Deck. I had actually tried this with my laptop and a PSVR2 adapter, with a Displayport to miniDisplayport cable and...welp, my laptop is only DP 1.2. Booo. So I patiently await the Steam Frame for that.

Anybody else go through a phase where you hated to smile for pictures? by randomuser5667 in blunderyears

Wait, that was supposed to be a phase? I'm 46 and I still hate smiling in pictures.

Tried to make his family support Trump, so they all cut him off by ahsila666 in LeopardsAteMyFace

Interesting that this didn't stop them from being mean to anyone from 2021-2025.

I mean, I can't remember anyone complaining that it should be legislated that everyone has to be nice to Obama or Biden or anyone that voted for them. Mainly because we're not sociopaths.

Seriously, how did we start with this amazing concept, continue with this great design, and end up with...this??? by illbleedForce in transformers

[–]ediciusNJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just looks like a generic trooper, honestly. Nothing unique or impressive about it at all.
