Spend two weeks waiting for data from customer, a day testing, half a day opening defect tickets and they aren’t being picked up because no one is fucking sure we’re supposed to be displaying that data on this project…

Local cobbler is an Eastern European immigrant, probably in his 70s, and seems pretty introverted. I’ve had him do work on both shoes and some weird luggage issues, he does great work, reasonable prices though not cheap. He’s not talkative, but of course I’m not paying him to be my friend.

Anyway, whenever someone asks about a cobbler in the neighborhood social media, someone always makes a “is that the mean guy” comment. Like that’s where we are in this fucked up society. If you’re not a bubbly outgoing person, you’re “mean” and to these fucked up shitbags that’s all they see, the quality of work and value means nothing to them, they just need constant butt kissing and obsequiousness. Fuck off. Seriously, go fuck yourself. Really just can not even imagine dealing with these absolute fuckheads.

TIL cobbler is still a job

Eh, we’re getting closer to the point where college for everyone except the Uber-rich is basically a flat fee, where that flat fee is going to be x percent of your salary for the next 20 years after you graduate depending on whatever the government sets IBR at. It’s not ideal, but it’s also better than it was pre-Biden. Assuming that a college degree still increases a person’s potential earnings by more than that percentage, going to college will still be +EV.

The courts are already working through challenges to that socialist save program so I’m sure it’ll be struck down sometime in the next couple of years. Then we can get back to infinite dollars for a degree like god and the founders intended.

If you’ve seen the 3 pack of Cap’n Crunch cereals at Costco and thought to yourself: “Why not, nothing else matters” be aware that if you aren’t eating anything else of substance you will end up with Shrek-green poop until it is out of your system…

Hah. Wife got me a green frosted cake from our favorite bakery last year. I was googling what causes green po… when it occurred to me it was just the frosting.

Man I love captain crunch but something about the texture seems to tear up inside of my mouth like I chewing on some industrial abrasive grit. I would be in bad shape if ate that much

I experienced the same thing back in my cereal eating days.

So only kind of fits the category but I’m putting it here.

Driving in a four lane road with a middle lane to turn left, I’m cruising straight going about 45mph, car pulls into the shared lane to turn left. They have enough time to go but they don’t, and then suddenly decide to turn right in front of me.

Full panic ABS assisted stop maybe 5 feet from them, hand on the horn because I’m dumb.

I go to flick them off and I see that there’s a cop car on the street they turned onto. I make a wtf gesture towards the cop, he gives me a thumbs up, pulls a U turn, and pulls them over,

So angry yes, then laughed hard as hell. Cops are never just there for that kind of shit

Heh. I interact with cops a lot more than the average person because of work, and I gotta say I’ve had zero bad incidents with our local PDs. I had issues with NYPD and surrounding PDs all the time.

Even had a cop bring in someone who they thought was a DUI (and reasonably so, she talked about drinking to the cop after a weird single car accident). He treated her with respect, got video of the incident proving she had a seizure, and got her released in less than 45 minutes. NYPD would never do that shit. Fuck I’ve had them not arrest people for obvious DUIs

Yeah from a professional standpoint I actually have surprisingly good interactions with how police treat folks I work with, ironically one the most frustrating things for us is once they identify someone as being a “mental health” case (even if they primarily just voluntarily doing bad shit) seems they just let them do whatever the hell they want including perpetually threatening people, severe harassment, property damage, etc.

several cops are bastards itt

I thought AT&T had the worst website ever but I now have United HC insurance and woo boy their website is abysmal

Just wait until your plan changes but still with UHC, it gets much, much worse.

yeah I can tell already

some GOOD news, my new company is dumping UHC so I’ll be off of this plan at the end of the month and right back on Blue Shield California
