  • This is how I always was.

    Then I sat down in Vegas at a machine and pulled a few times, while my husband sat next to me.

    Every time he lost, I won.

    A half hour later, I’m up $80 and vowing never to do this again, cause it suddenly makes sense.

    Now I can’t hear the “Kroger Top-of-the-Hour Conditioning” noise without getting a slight dopamine rush.












  • There was once a time when a small company built out of passion could elevate a normal guy into CEO, so as recently as 30-40 years ago you could still have some decency at the top. As the barriers to entry have shot upward, today to become a C-level you get an MBA and carefully scrape out your soul as part of your “leadership” education which has nothing to do with the widgets your company will produce, and everything to do with fellating the shareholders.

    It’s sad because I grew up in an era when a guy could still get ahead by being sharp and having good ideas, but now it’s only by Playing The Game. So those of us with morals are stuck with low earning potential because of it.

    Voice transcription has gotten good enough, and my thumb has carpal tunnel bad enough, that this shouldn’t be a problem anymore.

    The other day someone told me they were otp with another person. I’m like, one time password? Google is like, one time password? Finally AI google was like, they mean “on the phone.” Sigh I had to do research on this text.
