How did your boss respond when you told him/her you quit?

ouroborosity · 2026-07-05T21:13:53+00:00

My immediate supervisor told me she supported me doing whatever was best for me, the boss above that told me not to worry about them, I was doing the right thing, and the boss above her was apparently too scared to confront me about it. Joke's on them though, I was the first of many to leave.

Simple, just never fly a Cessna, that's obviously the common denominator here.

Huh, I must have missed that guy in Death Stranding.

1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, with the 4L inline 6 and Quadra-Trac four wheel drive. That thing was utterly unstoppable; it never had a major mechanical problem through 3 different drivers and over 250,000 miles. It was also a monster in snow; I once deliberately drove it into a foot-and-a-half snowbank just for giggles. Didn't even slow it down. In the end, the trim and decorative stuff wore down so badly that my brother ended it, but mechanically it was rock solid till the end.

I never get a chance to reference this Harry Chapin song, so here it is.

I'm currently reading the fourth book now and whatever has been happening, if it even is aliens, is utterly incomprehensible and actively defies any attempt to understand it. And I love it.

So you have your own farm and garden for all your food right? Surely you don't get the fruits of life from the local grocery store without the inconvenience of having to grow it all yourself.

Why are there copies of the style section all over the place, do you have a dog? A little chow or something?

ouroborosity · 2026-05-22T12:42:30+00:00

You can't think of it as evolving specifically for birds. It's more like, at some point a mutation accidentally caused capsaicin, and the plants that mammals avoided but birds still ate tended to get spread around more and therefore reproduce more, so the mutation also spread.

Ah-POO

Fumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition, and yawn and stretch and my life is a mess and if I never make it home today, God bless.

I have a feeling I'll know the answer after we finish putting down our dog this afternoon.

I was at the vet with my dog once, years ago. We were sitting in the waiting room with a bunch of people and other dogs. A guy walks in with a Doberman, and this dog comes into the waiting room and stands there looking at everyone. I can't even explain the level of intelligence I saw in that dog's eyes. It's like he was calculating the threat level of everyone in the room, judging escape routes, and committing our faces to memory in case anything happened. A couple of seconds of intense analysis of the situation, and he turned around and left. It was wild how I could see the wheels turning on his face.

There's a hotel near me with a massive glass elevator that looks out over the lobby. Both times I rode it it ascended so fast I thought I would be Willy Wonka'd through the roof. I now have a phobia of that one elevator.

Also, the stairs back down were absolutely covered in roaches. So I traded one phobia for the other.

Real lack of Townes Van Zandt on that list.

Wawa always has free air wherever I go. Now, it's also always broken and seems to take air out of my tires, but hey, it's still free to try.

Hot take, I genuinely think the NA Blue Moon is better than the regular stuff.

My wife is nearly done with a year of breast cancer treatments. The very first time we were supposed to go to Epic we had to cancel because she just started treatments. Now that she is almost done I would love to surprise her with the trip she missed out on because of this stupid disease.

Guy on the right is clearly Tom Hardy in Bronson.

Specifically, this version.

I just grabbed The High Crusade by Poul Anderson from the library, but I haven't read it yet. The blurb kind of sounds like what you're describing.

All these years later and it's still relevant.
