For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.
It’s sad how true this is. I quit my job and went to work for another company for a year. The previous company contacted me wanting me back, and hired be back after a year for $15k more than before. I’ve been there a year now and got a 3% raise. Probably should just quit again and get rehired
EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...
I was in 5th grade, and I had filled a notebook with questions about the bible and how passages in it contradicted modern science, as well as a bunch of passages from the bible that directly contradicted eachother. My parents took me to a bunch of different christian “scholars” and pastors and none could answer a single question in my notebook, other than “have faith.” It was then that I realized there was probably no god and the bible was a bunch of bullshit. And maybe there is a god, I am not against the idea, but I have still not to this day ever seen or heard empirical evidence that would lead me to believe there is one. Telling your kids they will burn in hell for eternity if they don’t believe in a mystical being is pretty fucked up. I had serious nightmares growing up about what would happen to me in hell. Talk about brainwashing.
I’m looking for suggestions that zombie-me could follow through with. The problem is I can barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone do a useful task. It just wastes typically 2–5 hours of my life as I wait for tiredness to finally (re)take hold.
I work at an MSP, and got sexually harassed by a client recently. I just found out he got fired over it. I get to disable all of his accounts and stuff. It’s so amazing.
I was the service manager at an Apple Authorized Service Provider and some rich fuckwit brought in his top-end MacBook Pro he bought a few weeks earlier that he’d spilled water all over. It was completely unresponsive and all the water indicator stickers were flagging, so he’d have to pay a large fee and he opted to just buy a new one. I had him sign a release form, I removed all the water indicator stickers, disassembled and carefully cleaned the entire thing and put it back together. Sent it in to Apple for a warranty replacement and they replaced the entire unit except the display and sent it back to me good as new. That was 10 years ago and I still use the device daily for 3D modeling and rendering and it’s still an absolute beast.
This meme is pretty belittling to the wife in this scenario and it’s kind of fucked.
Rule #1 of being in a relationship is learning to listen and empathize with your partner. Just sit, and listen quietly, and tell them “that really sucks, I am so sorry, I’m here for you” It’s really that simple. Most of us are techy and leap to a solution because that’s how our brains are wired but they just want someone to listen. Just listen
We had a company wide email about how they want everyone to turn on their cameras for calls. My camera mysteriously “broke” the same day. If they send me a new one, maybe I’ll turn it on. (They won’t)
I’ve called it sublems or sublemmies before and been crucified for it. People don’t like the association with the bad place. So I just call it a “community” like most people.

Former religious lemmings, what made you quit religion or stop being a believer?
Mostly trying to relate.
