Quick vent. My job introduced OneDrive and cloud shit through Microsoft. Yeah. I still have to tell my computer to save on itself. I’m not using OneDrive.

I hear my coworkers bitch about it all the time. It’s not syncing. I can’t save or change this or that. I can’t find it when I’m trying to open it. Why is this green or yellow? What’s up with this check? They always ask me for help because I’m the younger one that knows more about computers. I respond that I don’t do cloud shit. I want to know where my info is, but they keep on wanting me to figure it out for them.

I guess cloud computing is my old man yelling at clouds line.

I got a double cheeseburger platter from a BBQ place with 2 sides for $10. Better burger than fast food and I got fries and collards.

The OG Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter movies are dope. I don’t care what anyone else says.

Tuskegee is why I would understand some black people not wanting to trust in the covid-19 vaccine.

As the target demographic in the 90s, I was happy to beg my parents for them and watch the TV shows. I saw it as a win-win.

You do need rest weeks for muscle, ligament, and tendon recovery. When I start feeling the health effect lessen (mentally), I take extra cold showers (not right after exercise as that hurts muscle recovery). Cold showers or ice baths, if you got the opportunity can reset dopamine levels. I think you just torture yourself for a few minutes and that makes you feel better about the day in comparison, but science says it does stuff on a cellular level that helps.

I heard of an idea of 4-5 walls to get over while in the cold water. First you’ll be cold and can’t think. Just move around and try to get use to it. After a while you will get to the point of being able to talk with shouting and shivering. That’s a wall. You will soon get cold again and that will start your next wall. Maybe 5 - 10 minutes for me. It helps refresh my outlook.

When the Hill-dog was running for president in 2016 (I think). She was visiting common folk to see how they lived. She looked more shocked to me.

They both got rich and famous with pop music, but Rihanna started making BANK when she made makeup for women of color. Crazy idea right? She noticed a hole in the market and filled it. That’s not talked about as much as entertaining us musically, so Swift is normally brought up before Rihanna. Swift has been touring more recently as well.

I do think, ideally, we should be able to resolve disputes without violence. We don’t live in that world though. Mainly because people that have a lot power and resources worked to keep it that way. They actively work against progress.

Violence gave us (the US) freedom from being a colony, freedom from slavery, workers rights, women’s rights…wait a minute.

Why do we get told to not do violence again? Seems like we just need a little bit of organized violence and we can solve problems.

This is a problem for me for real. I get tired of chewing. I started making smoothies with frozen veggies (or beans) and fruits after I work out. I still try to eat veggies with meals, but I’ll get a couple servings by drinking it.

Now this one tasted good.

There was an episode of BB that Vince wanted to make completely based on Weird Al’s Albuquerque song. They flew him out and had him tour the area and went over the script with him. Al ended up saying no because it was just too good and he felt people would tear their eyeballs out after seeing it.

Tomorrow, for you, is the harvest, but to them it is the Holocaust. Damn them, let the rabbits wear glasses. Can I get an amen?

I can think this is funny and be able to pick up on the sarcasm, but it doesn’t mean everyone else can.

I still think /s is valid. I’m not like OP and I don’t go out of my way down voting. However, I think the problem is when someone doesn’t pick up on your sarcasm, and then you were to dismiss their comment and double down on, “just sarcasm bro” instead of fixing how you communicate to people. I’m not talking about rare outliers. I wish it was rare. I just notice people have more problems communicating with sarcasm in text.

Not that any of this matters at the end of the day.

I can agree with this statement for real life interactions, but online you can’t pick up the nonverbal cues.

I honestly didn’t think this would be as unpopular as the responses make it seem. I used to be against using /s because “it makes it less fun” but way too many people get the wrong message. I decided to start using it because I want people to understand me correctly. It’s that the point of communicating with people?

IRL I try to be more over the top, but even then (like OP and others pointed out) if the person doesn’t know your baseline then they might think you are being serious. It has happened to me countless times.

Maybe they should start letting us roll down the window again on planes then.
