  • “Partnered” is such a bizarre word to use to mean, “I read a recipe”. Even if that recipe was regurgitated in the most inefficient way possible.

    Imagine people in the past saying shit like, “I wanted to bake a pie so I partnered with Betty Crocker.”

    Oh really Brenda? You “partnered” with Betty Crocker? And what exactly did Betty do to help? Oh. That’s right. Nothing. Because she’s not an actual person, just a branded cookbook. Maybe make sure more of the rum makes it in the pie next time.


  • I wonder if this is part of the reason why Cox stopped listing their small business plans and prices online.

    And then there’s the “promotional discount” that expires after a year or two, requiring you to call back in and threaten to cancel your service before they’ll give you back the same price you were already paying. It helps if you actually have other ISP options.

    I also think you should not be allowed to abandon your copper infrastructure without offering a replacement. AT&T refuses to offer new DSL service even if they have an old POTS line connected to your house because “we don’t do DSL anymore” but I guarantee they would have a problem with it if I ripped their pedistal out of my front yard.





  • I served on the board of a Section 8 housing authority for a number of years.

    You would be amazed at the number of people who don’t understand that leases are legally binding contracts and there are actual, enforceable consequences for violating the conditions of it.

    “You guys can’t evict me.”

    “Uhhh, yeah, we can. It just so happens that hording 30 cats in your house and letting them soak every inch of the place with piss is a violation of the terms of your lease.”






  • To me, it’s not necessarily people climbing it that’s the issue. It’s that some people have so little respect for everyone and everything that they’re perfectly content to use the world as their own personal trash can.

    I shit you not, I recently chewed some lady out on the hiking trail 2 miles from my house because she chucked the plastic bowl and spoon from her lunch off into the woods, in front of God and everybody like it’s just no big deal. Well it’s a big fucking deal to me.

    And if a person can’t manage to go on a hike or scale a mountain without leaving their garbage behind like a slob, then they should stay home.
