Can’t wait to grab something only to have the price change by the time I get to the register

Hell yeah this game rules. Scratched my desire for a game with the vibes of Dying Earth or Book Of The New Sun

Lmao I got one similar to that but mentioned Biden. I love being dumb when replying, which is fun when they reply, although pretty rare. Hopefully I get a response after pretending to have no idea who Biden or Trump are

My favorite one was when I pretended to have no idea what Woke was and eventually I just got a “You have successfully been unsubscribed” midconversation, like the person just gave up.

One of my favorites I haven’t seen mentioned is the one when George HW Bush moves across the street and Bart keeps fucking with him.

Same! My wife and I joked that they’re probably sent by some Conservative group to annoy the shit out of people which would be a good bit. Especially since replying “stop” only seems to get you more.

Piero Scaruffi

Holy shit lmao that’s a name I haven’t thought of since like 2010. Old /mu/ heads might remember that

Honestly it sometimes works in Vic3 lol

Overheard coworker talking about their upcoming vacation to Spain and Morocco when another asks: “With all the Iran and Iraq wars going on will that be safe?”

Most geographically/current event literate American

Isn’t that Ilhan Omar’s daughter on the right?

Yeah the only game I’ve been excited for was Suzerian’s DLC but I haven’t played it yet. Ever since I got sober I spend so much less time gaming

Dolores Dei?

I like the classic from /r/stims that was like “Why does meth turn me into a communist?” or something

I’ve been subscribed to Foreign Exchanges for years now, I think their substack has a good amount of free posts

Look at the front page of DownDetector rn lol bunch of big websites having issues it seems

Youtube tutorials are super helpful. Depending on what the software is and how much time you have, you can get a free trial for either Udemy or O’Reilly learning. O’Reilly (paired with a firefox plugin thqt lets you download the books as an epub) was how I got my most recent job.

Told them I have a vast experience with SQL, reports, PowerBI and Python for Data Analysis. Kinda a half-truth. I’ve done reporting through Salesforce, visualization through excel and Python for simple scripts lol. I just spent a good amount of time the last few months going a bit more in depth learning SQL and Tableau to the point where I could mix that knowledge with what I had actually done at a previous job.

So yeah I guess in the interview just talk about it in more broad terms while peppering in any details that you learn about the specific software.

A few Trump ones:

“California is going to have to ration water. You know why? Because they send millions of gallons of water out to sea, out to the Pacific, because they want to take care of certain little tiny fish that aren’t doing very well without water, to be honest with you”

“I want to thank the White House Historical Association and all of the people that work so hard with Melania, with everybody, to keep this incredible house or building, or whatever you want to call it — because there really is no name for it; it is special — and we keep it in tip-top shape. We call it sometimes tippy-top shape.”

When I had a paid chess account I just used the International flag. Had some funny interactions with people thinking I was a Russian or Chinese trying to hide my identity.
