88 was my favorite number for a long time until I found out that Nazis were using it. Bummer. I’m weirdly still sad about it.

I can’t even tell you why it was my favorite number. I think as a kid, I always heard people pick 7 and I just wanted to be different so I leaned into 8s. Idk.

Now, I struggles because I like 8s but I don’t want to be a Nazi. F’ing Nazis ruin everything.

Guess I could just like 8 or 888, haha.

There is literally a road running right up the middle called State Line Road, lol. In the right place you could probably drive in both states at the same time.

Yeah it doesn’t matter. I just say I live in the KC Metro so I don’t have to explain this. And when I’m talking to my family back home, it’s just Kansas City. Technically I don’t live in KC, but they don’t care.

I imagine it’s like being from NYC. If you’re from there you tell someone what borough but to everyone else it’s just NYC

KCK is starting to get gentrified.

Another also, I absolute hate that the video game industry is jumping on this trend. Sometimes it’s nice to play games I missed out on as a kid but it’s getting so bad now, they remaster games from a couple years ago. Enough is enough.

Y2K. It was better than I expected!

Also, I remember walking out of Everything Everywhere All At Once and being angry because it probably wouldn’t do well in theaters or win any awards, despite being one of the best original movies I had ever seen.

I was happy to be wrong on that one.

Hawaiian pizza is mid but Jalapeño and Pineapple pizza is S-tier. Spicy and sweet.

Don’t you love scrolling right when the page loads and you click an ad instead?

It’s a feature, not a bug! Haha!

I haven’t set up this yet, but I use AdGuard on my phone and yes, it does leave blank space. Sometimes I don’t realized there was more text to read because it’s empty.

It’s not about the adblocker though. It’s on the quality of the developer. A good developer tells the browser to leave space for ads before it loads them. It makes the page load faster and also prevents the page jumping around as each item loads.

Ironically, a bad developer that doesn’t do that, probably has better website layouts for people who use adblockers. 🙃

I spoke to some hiring managers who said that they don’t read cover letters unless they find an interesting resume. Regardless of the tools that are used, it’s just too time consuming to read each letter.

I always thought of a cover letter for clarifying something on your resume. Ex: you’re changing careers or industries and out want to clarify why your experience is relevant. So, I don’t do them for every application but in certain situations.
