The Baker provides a service for a fee, the CEO denies service to inflate wealth (at least the ones that should be worrying).

For those that don’t know…

Whenever I see meter and liter spelled the English way I pronounce it Frenchly in my head with a gargled R.

Holy crap, that’s why craft beer tall cans are different from 16oz tall boys here in the states. I’d always wondered why the were 19.2.

It’s for a cop.

There’s also calibur for bullets, e.g. .357, .45, .22. , 30 aught 6.

How about addresses on mail going from most general to most specific?

United States Missouri, Kansas City 55555, N Lincoln Ave 1546, Apt 456 Joe Sturgeon

I was typing that as a joke because it is the opposite of the system in the US, but aren’t there places that follow this method?

I can’t think of any examples of the top of my head, but aren’t there some games that should have thrived but we’re heals back by launching as Epic exclusives?

Hey sailor… ;)

I miss the clutches of people that would congregate in smoking areas on breaks at work, kinda forced to socialize but all walks of life would be tied together by their shared vice.

Now the smoking area at work has dwindled so I feel like a pariah sucking on my electric nicotine pacifier for a couple minutes, staring at my phone and ignoring the other pariahs that come outside.

Hell, I think I met the larger part of my 2000s friend group striking up conversations outside of bars when you could no longer smoke inside.

Sorry I’m romanticizing am unhealthy dirty habit, but I do think that we, in the US at least, have vilified one more means of social connection.

‘Ill perform better in my position because I’m two inches taller and can reach the back of the top shelf without wasting company time sourcing a ladder!’

The most recent one I took almost felt like a placement test trying to see if you had management material, which could be problematic for someone applying to be an entry level team member, but giving management answers.

Maybe I’m over thinking why I got passed on by a grocery store after two in person group interviews.

Yeah, the trick is to pretend you are A mixture of Ned Flanders and a ditzy cheerleader when you answer.

Maybe it’s the shit market that I’m applying to, but when I apply for a retail job, they want a fully filled out application (that auto fill always Borks, so I have to type everything in manually) as well as a cover sheet and some places want you to take a personality quiz that you have to pass for hr to even see your application. I couldn’t imagine applying to 4 jobs a day, let alone 40.

I imagine we are talking about corporate postings where you just paste a link to LinkedIn and that does most of the work?

You just made my year! Thanks.

It may not be that bad! You may just have an opioid addiction that can leave certain muscles unresponsive, making urination take an absurdly long time. #kratomlife

But still, get checked. Everyone needs to feel that cold figure eventually. Better safe than cancer. My family are like lab rats and two men that lived saintly lives compared to me died of cancer of the Everything out of the blue. Having reached middle age, I’m afraid I’m built like that too.

The movie ‘Waiting’ has a character whose entire arc is them trying to get over urinal anxiety while working one crazy shift at an Applebee’s clone.

Early Ryan Reynolds. Some of the humor hasn’t aged well, but it shines a light on the service industry for those that haven’t worked in a kitchen/bar/restaurant.

To be fair, a bar I go to has a picture box that has a bunch of comics pinned in it over the toilet that you can read while urinating.

Ah, the ol’ honky tonk urinal that is just a rain gutter hung at an angle with a hose dribbling into the high side.

I do not miss small towns.

People have often tried to strike up conversations in bathrooms when I was clubbing. In their defence, I did look like a drug dealer at the time.
