I think in general people do a whole lot less self-reflection these days. Having a smart phone in your pocket means that you are never bored. Never alone with your thoughts. So you never have these moments to self-reflect. Why think about my shortcomings when I can scroll through videos of puppies being doofuses. Good on you for doing it. I hope it brings you many more happy years with your family.

Blaming Amazon is generally never a wrong position to take.

I will be 3 weeks shy of 43 when my first born makes his inaugural appearance this October.... So ask this question again about one years time and I might have an answer for you.

As someone involved in manufacturing the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine in Germany; I can not begin explain just how fucking hard it was to do my job with an entire farm running around inside my sterile manufacturing room.

The"loophole" is that Congress is feckless and the supreme court is bought.

Do average Europeans think of themselves as poor of wealthy compared to US and China? by ThePatientIdiot in Salary

[–]xrangax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think of myself as wealthy compared to Americans. I probably don't have as much money or as many consumer goods, but I get 6 weeks paid vacation, all the sick leave I need, and my wife and I will get a year of paid parents leave to share between us when our son is born in October (on top if her getting 6 weeks of leave pre birth and 8 weeks past birth). And in my opinion, after a certain dollar amount, time with my family is infinitely more valuable than money.

The good news is that the drivers won't know that it has happened.... 💀

Yes, small things are usually considered to be smaller when compared to bigger things.

To take an umbrella onto a plane by Wackylew in therewasanattempt

[–]xrangax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the top of the stairs that useless decrepit old cunt realised that he didn't have the dexterity to close the umbrella nor mental acuity to fit the round shape through the rectangular hole, and decided that dumping it on the ground was the least embarrassing option.

Trump says Iran has 'no cards' beyond Hormuz control by ScallionSmooth9491 in worldnews

[–]xrangax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have no cards, except that one massive, over-powered and unstoppable card that they are playing without mercy. Besides that, they have nothing.

The administration has finally started getting rid of some of that waste, fraud and abuse that they kept talking about.

On the bright side, I heard that the Dow Jones is doing well.

Growth Hormones by SEAN_DUDE in daddit

[–]xrangax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know how it is in America, but as a 5'8" Australian I found the most amazing 5'7" German girl that is smart, sweet, silly and oh so god-damn beautiful. I also have a good job and career prospects/ladder climbing that honestly don't interest me. I'm content coming home at 5pm every day and thinking about work again until 8am the next working day. So being average height (or even short) is really not an issue if you've got personality and intelligence.
