I too grew up in the in that era. But grew up in the Detroit area where nearly everybody knew something about cars due to how many people worked in the auto industry and how the knowledge was prevelant and shared amongst friends and peers. Auto shops were still a thing, but largely used for jobs nobody wanted to do, didn't have access to the tools, or didn't have the time to invest

Sweet.

In the next 5 years nobody will have to use computers anymore.

I love how AI is being used to solve problems that don't exist! It's the biggest boon for society ever!

Gotta love jobs that treat their staff like children.

I had an ex tell me once that I wore too much brown and dull greens.

Since then I've been aware of my color choices and have a lot of "loud" colors in my wardrobe. I will even intentionally wear clashing colors and have made it a style choice.

I still have browns and dull greens, but I have fun with them now.

All that said, I'll wear something until it starts wearing out then that'll be relegated to chore/diy project clothes.

Intentionally wear the same one next time and if she says something you can tell her it's your lucky auction shirt.

Nah.

Ozoma was the original Monk but after a bunch of push back they actually self-reflected and engage in good faith.

I like Ozoma, even if they have some uninformed and/or idealistic views at times.

I'm glad my employer said, "you've been working hard. I comped you a day so you can rest and recover.", the last time I wasnt feeling well (allergies got the best of me and I was a mess). Even though I've accrued nearly 2-weeks of sick time at this point.

I'm fortunate that I don't work for a shitty company anymore.

Man, if it wasn't for the antagonistic shit riddled throughout that post I'd engage and cheer him on. And the way he talks about his girlfriend in that post is a little worrisome. He's doing that same antagonistic shit when talking about her.

He's so clearly got main character syndrome and believes the world is out to get him. If he took the time to be self reflective in his personal interactions as much as he did about his physical health he might be a person I could actually engage with.

The left actually knows this and is still left.

Do not treat neuro divgerent people with training wheels.

I'm neuro divgerent and it pisses me off when people treat me differently. Yeah, I've got my shit, and I often need things explained to me with clear guidelines, rules, and expectations.

But one thing my neuro divergence doesn't grant me is the ability to act like a shit stain and get away with it while prodding everybody around me antagonisticly.

Which makes your community toxic and your job harder.

How many reports did you get and have to filter through and ultimately ignore? If that's not an indicator from your community that something needs to change you're not listening to our needs.

 

Weirdos from the top to the bottom.

 

Former President Donald Trump has drawn the ire of another musical group for unauthorized use of their music. This time, it's the Foo Fighters.

Trump played the band's song "My Hero" when he welcomed former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the stage at a rally in Arizona on Friday[...]

[...]The spokesperson added that any royalties received as a result of the Trump campaign's use of the song will be donated to the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.

 

Trump owes millions from two civil court cases, but his investment portfolio offers a staggering portrait of wealth.

Donald Trump has submitted his annual financial disclosure, and after a year of lawsuits, legal cases, and grifts, the contents of the documents reflect the turmoil surrounding the former president...
