got a firefighter as my accountability buddy, and yeah, that’s tough stuff

I was a volunteer firefighter briefly (maybe 2 years max)!

I tried to find a gif of Barf from Spaceballs saying "I'm my own best friend." but I couldn't find it. :(

hell yeah buddy, sounds like an awesome evening

Should be fun. My 77 year old mom told me I was definitely getting old when I told her lol.

I told her that weed and alcohol will make it a party and I hope the bingo hall survives us

I have a Mexican coworker that keeps using the phrase "I don't want to be obvious, but" and that's a really subtle and obscure phrase in english i feel like. do you think she means it like "sound stupid"?

Is she saying something factually incorrect or true?

i think you’d normally say “not to state the obvious, but” when you’re politely reiterating something that people should definitely know already but you kinda suspect they don’t

that might be what she means, not to state the obvious

It's a weird turn of phrase. To me it depends on the meaning they use it for and the rest of the sentence decides that. Could be sarcastic or just a weird way of trying to say "don't you all know we should be doing x instead of y, you stupid?" Trying to phrase it nicely.

Depends on the crowd and tone and what they say after it

I don't want to be obvious, but you have to wipe the sink clean every night

Is very different than

I don't want to be obvious, but chickens used to be dinosaurs, right?

I kinda like it. People who speak English as a second language come up with some awesome phrasing.

I think she's implying that you're stupid i.e. she's having to explain something that is very obvious to a normal person because she thinks otherwise you won't understand.

I'm so old I have to turn on autogenerated subtitles for teams/zooms, because I couldn't hear people on quiet mics, in meetings and it's really helped me understand the Chinese and Russian accents that some of my coworkers have.

I'm used to English/Spanish/Indian accents and this is doing a good job of helping me learn the new accents.

Only good thing I've used AI for since I'm not a coder.

I'm a dumb gently caress who instead of fixing his broken PC years ago just said gently caress it and went without. Otherwise this would be my jam. I guess I need to pull the trigger on the parts in my Amazon cart so I can resume contributing to the community lol
