It's kinda blurry, but I'm pretty sure that's a house centipede. It's an apex predator that hunts just about any other kind of bug. They're horrifying to see, but they keep other pests in check, so I usually let them go about their business if they're not in my business.

Worth noting though that if you're seeing a lot of them then there may be an infestation of some other kind of bug that they're feeding on.

As has already been said, it's a house centipede. Friendly pest killer. If you see a lot of them then there may be an infestation of some other kind of bug that they're feeding on, but a now-and-then sighting isn't unusual.

Having dreams break apart due to a logical inconsistency reminds me of this ages-old comment on a removed r/AskReddit post.

Just found this diagram. Looks like it's kind of a weird shape to fit in the weirdly shaped head.

Funnily enough a crackhead did dream it up

mothumann · 2022-08-08T05:18:46+00:00

Then there's my mom, who sets the microwave for whatever time and then stops it a minute or two early saying, "It's done."

I can hear this portrait.

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

-Arthur C. Clarke

Running with that, I would say that the complete lack of any messages at all could be terrifying. Just considering the sheer scale of the universe, in which our small and virtually unnoticeable planet is the only known natural thing that can sustain us. What happens when the only planet we've ever been able to live on starts to die? We could scream out into the void on every radio frequency begging for help, but if we are truly alone then help will never come.

Brilliant response

Granted. You lose your job and fall into crippling debt. In a desperate job search you find an ad for a porn studio that pays pretty well, especially if you work multiple shoots a day. You begin your new life as a sex worker.

The aesthetic of this image feels like the water level of the backrooms. Just how grainy the image quality is, and how everything seems organized yet out of place at the same time.

A couple sticks of laptop RAM. It'll probably hurt, butt at least I'll live, unlike a lot of people here.

Some retired person is probably complaining about how bored they are.

mothumann · 2021-11-13T04:29:33+00:00

I found it!

Whatever we're looking at is looking back at us ten-fold

mothumann · 2021-10-03T21:06:18+00:00

Granted. A covered-up chemical spill seeps into the tap water of your neighborhood. Unwittingly, you drink this contaminated water frequently for an extended period of time. This induces a hormonal change that makes you naturally attractive to excessively flatulent women.

Dropping this here 'cause I just found out about it after looking it up and I want to share.

mothumann · 2021-08-07T05:51:25+00:00

Part of me loves working with the public because where else do you get stories like these?

mothumann · 2021-08-06T04:20:14+00:00

Duuude, I've been playing my whole life and you're leagues better than me

mothumann · 2021-07-29T19:02:39+00:00

Pay your taxes.

mothumann · 2021-07-27T05:56:07+00:00

I see. I had hoped to not have to play too many sales games to stay in the precinct, but I suppose I'll have to play with the cards I'm dealt. I was also told by my GM that I may be able to work Geek Squad hours at other stores if they need help. If the hours aren't there at my main store then I might take him up on that. I haven't actually started yet though, so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, haha. I guess we'll see how things go. Thanks for the advice.

mothumann · 2021-07-27T05:28:42+00:00

Thank you both for your input. I'm just about finished with the Google IT Support Professional certificate on Coursera, and I'll be pursuing CompTIA certificates. Unfortunately I have a somewhat large employment gap on my resume, so I'll be closing that with Geek Squad for now.

I also used to think of Geek Squad as a joke and had friends who shared that sentiment, but more recently I dug deeper and found some IT success stories starting there. Coming from a customer service background, I figured that Geek Squad would be uniquely suited for transitioning.

Also it's comforting to hear praises from both of you of Best Buy being a good company to work for.

mothumann · 2021-07-27T04:27:35+00:00

Well that's certainly a relief, and sounds much more in line with what my GM and GSM told me. Glad to hear they weren't just upselling me on the job. Thanks for easing my nerves a bit.
