I make chicken chili that is basically like 2 lbs of boneless chicken breasts, 2 or 3 cans of black and red beans, 2 cans of rotel tomatoes and peppers, and assorted spices to taste. Throw that poo poo in the crockpot before you leave for work, come home to a house that smells amazing and 3 or 4 meals of great food

e: if you want to stretch it out some more you can throw it on top of some brown rice too

Milk it unless you have something more important to do.

Also keep in mind that it is probably taxed at a higher percentage than your normal wage so there's that.

I actually understand how marginal tax rates work so I know this isn't actually true!

It's 4:30 in the morning and it's still 82f after all the windows in my apartment have been open since 11pm or so. Can't sleep worth a poo poo. gently caress global warming, gently caress inoperable AC and gently caress this piece of poo poo tenement apartment complex I live in.

e: my parents didn't beat me they just told me I was a worthless piece of poo poo for so long that I wound up believing them, so I've spent the better part of the last eight years some form of high or drunk because I can't stand to be alone with myself sober

Why would you go with a M60B30 over a M60B40 unless you're getting the drivetrain for free or something

e: I mean the block is physically the same size and weight and poo poo, they get about the same gas mileage as the 4 liter, the only thing you're getting is about 70 less HP, in which case just swap over a M52, with cams and exhaust and a chip they'll make the same power

I'm a huge nerd but I'm also a fairly typical guy, I like sports, cars, heavy machinery, guns, action flicks and beer. For some reason the only girls I find myself attracted to are super artsy, intellectual, whose ideal vacation is to sip fuckin espresso at an art gallery in Prague, while I just want to watch playoff basketball, hit the gym, and get drunk.

And I wonder why I'm 31 and single.

I like all of these things, I just feel like I'd be actively detrimental to the life of anyone I'm actually attracted to

The veins in my elbows are literally 1/2" wide and pop out if I clench my fist (seriously, they look like they belong on a bodybuilder not a beanpole nerd) and blood doesn't scare me at all so donating blood or having it pulled for medical poo poo is a walk in the park.

The last time I had blood drawn the nurse was like "jesus, if I miss that, I should just resign" :haw:

Yeah the Phlebotomologist complemented me on my excellent veins when I got blood work done. Of course I'm 6'4" and 160 so the only way I'd have hard to find veins would be if I was a heroin junkie or something.

About a month ago, a bunch of departments got moved around between the two buildings at my work, and all the QA office staff moved over to the new building. One of my coworkers used to do all the calibration for the calipers and mics and depth gauges and poo poo that all the machinists use to check parts out in the shop. And by calibrate I mean he put a sticker on them every 3 months and did literally nothing else. So when he moved over to the new building he passed off all the calibration duties on to me. He left me about 60 tools to calibrate because he was several weeks behind doing even his half assed poo poo, and there is no way I'm just going to stick a new sticker on something without checking to make sure it's actually accurate. I'm already busy as hell with everything else that I do in the QA department so I pretty much only get time to calibrate stuff if I stay late or work on Saturday.

About a week ago he comes over all officious like and asks why I haven't caught up on the calibration yet and updated the spreadsheet and poo poo. Told him I was busy and I'd get to it when I had the time, etc etc. I get an email today from the lady doing our internal audit, that had an email chain from my coworker. In it he basically throws me under the bus and says something to the effect of, "maybe an internal finding on our audit will make him/them (my coworkers in the lab) understand the importance of the calibration schedule." What in the actual gently caress? If you want to be lazy and poo poo at your job and not do anything all day, cool as long as it doesn't prevent me from doing my job. You want to try and backstab me because I don't shirk my job duties, there's going to be some serious issues.

You can take offense to your sex being generalized without being the typical goon/redditor.


Yes. I'm a strong advocate and supporter of equal rights and treatment for women, and I act on those beliefs in my daily life and through established political mechanisms. When Jezebel fans start screeching about all men being rapists and it floods my social media feed, it pisses me off. When the latest internet feminist campaign says men shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves against generalizations in feminist debate, it pushes me off the edge. Its just as bad as what some men do to women. Just because I was born with a penis doesn't make me a chauvinist.

I really doubt a website as mainstream as Jezebel is calling all men rapists, you shouldn't conflate that with the really marginal writing you see on tumblr, also holy poo poo lol you're calling being mischaracterized as a chauvinist the equivalent of literally being raped, do you realize how bad that sounds? :stare:

ok maybe this is just like a poor choice of words on your part or something because how else can this be construed in the context of the acts that we're discussing here. Like you are literally equivocating the words of some chick on the internet with like, all of recorded history re: women have been screwed over pretty loving badly. So like, maybe you're just really tone deaf or something but really you sound like those dudes who get mad at Jessie Jackson because he's mad about white people. So from one straight white dude to presumably another, don't be that guy. Really we don't need any help.

The only worse topic than feminism would be stupid loving cats. Except may be male privilege. Or white privilege. Or white male privilege. poo poo. I am around too many academics, but if you really want to piss one of them off, say that any of those three things isn't the biggest problem in our society, and then watch the fire rain down.

The self-regulating of AI is impressive, though. I woke up to 91 messages, thought something big happened and... nope, just a small fire that got fed and stomped out a couple times. AI D&Ds better than D&D.
