My landlady texts like that. But I think she's just speed typing or dictating and not at all reading it before hitting send. The guy who lives in the back does the same, but I think that one's on the drugs

I have a similar line of thinking. I'm a musician, so if I was filthy rich I might want to donate money to a school's music department. If the school is one fiscal entity, I would have to put that as a stipulation to ensure they gave the money to that department, not divert it to something overfunded or just padding the board's pocket as bonuses for "a job well done"

I worked a call center briefly and did this with an older lady for about 15 minutes. She was just talking about how she spends her time and what her daughter was up to. I got called into the boss's office because they heard the conversation. I tried to cover my ass saying I was trying to build rapport, but I got told quantity over quality. Make the calls, follow the script, close the sale. So glad I only wasted like 2 months of my life there.

Side note, the main business model itself was a scam. The "sale" wasn't even a real sale. We were feeling out for people with bad credit to send to our "partner" law firm for credit repair. If they signed up with them after the transfer for $100/mo, only then did I get any commission. And it paid commission against minimum wage, so you only ever saw a benefit if your commissions alone surpassed what your minimum wage paycheck would be. Man, every detail I can remember about that place is scummier than the last. Fuck them and everyone like them. I'm ashamed to have counted myself among their number, however briefly.

The sweat stain on the couch got me

The company has pledged $1,000 to support mental health research and “to stop those sad folks from blowing their brains out or whatever.”

Gold

At that range, using a linear estimation is fine I assure you

I think they were saying that if you're not super skinny, you ought to test them to make sure they work for you before buying them. Super skinny people can safely assume they would have good enough conductivity and could buy without testing with more confidence.

Not my opinion, never tested these.

Ohhh, they were roommates.

I've heard blur is not destructive. Please use a paintbrush on 100% opacity if you do this

For those who didn't see, a woman in the UK had her laptop seized over NSFW Skyrim mods a "friend" found on it and reported to authorities. It is projected to be released to her sometime in 2025. Over Skyrim mods.

"What? I'm proud of them."

I buy the things I want to support. Small game studios get my money. Bands get my money directly, I buy albums and merch. Pretty much, small businesses or organizations that put great amounts of care and love into their high quality work get my money all day, as directly as i can. But would I pay for an Activision/EA game? Or a Marvel movie? Absolutely not.
