Yeah, and if you get out of the water and have a "flattering" outline in your shorts, its suddenly becomes a much larger issue being the only adult male, and with children around.... eesh.

I worked in retail for a decade, and have been in IT for past 12 years. Mostly help desk. Mostly medical.

The advanced degrees these people have is astounding, but the lack of common sense is terrifying.

Like, these people are cutting into other people to fix shit? They can't tie their own shoes, and the concept of a power button on a computer is too much.

This is the same person. Hopefully he has retired or died by now, cause those were his only real choices at that age.

Seriously, his assistant tied his shoes for him. She probably had advanced degrees of her own. And she had to tie an old man's shoes on the daily.

Maybe there something to have such a laser focus like medicine specialties really does rob people of their common sense.

Tie? Shoe? No, but that artery is about to retract or some shit.

That is difficult, because under Trump, reality is often more satirical of the recent past than the onion can stretch credulity.

As a formally certified pharmacy tech(no longer live in the sate I was certified in), take the recommended dose. Please.

I mean, I don't know if I'd still be interested in women after being a vampire that long, but I'd like to think so.

Go to a country with lax sex laws (or at least enforcement), set up a bordello and feed on the workers while they sleep off their necessary highs for doing sex work for a horrible human (vampire) being.

Plus, under the rules I'm fixating on mentally, drinking the blood of someone who is high will get the vampire high, and after hundreds of years plus immortality, I'm gonna get high at some point lol.

(Rules referenced: Old World of Darkness, VTM, etc)

WD-40 is not a lubricant, it can do it short term, but makes things worse long term.

WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement - Formula 40.

Its to keep mechanical components hydrophobic so they don't rust or otherwise degrade due to the presence of water.

For locks and keyways, you want powdered graphite as a lubricant. I keep a small tube (puffer style) in my pick kit if needed.

Or slightly more expensive, if legal in your area, are actual locksmith tools.

I have a pick set I busted out this morning to unlock a pad lock on our circuit breaker (outside for some stupid reason, locked because its a new development and we had construction workers turn the house off while me and the wife were the only people on our respective jobs working the shift remotely)

We need power to run desktops. A UPS is handy, but its a bandaid to shut down correctly until power is restored fully.

You don't get dependencies in real life like that.

You work 10 years in an industry and try to get a promotion? That may be a dependency issue.

I mean, I'm married and walk around the house naked frequently (no children present in the home)

So, for my wife... she's seen it all, unflattering angles and all, lol, and any time of the year.

SotN is hands down my favorite entry.

I dunno, once CV tried to go 3D on the Nintendo 64 I lost any interest in platformers.

I'm not good at them, and I don't enjoy them. They were just all that were available in 2D for a long time.

I been dealing with ADHD (diagnosed) since the age of 7.

It is a pendulum, but it doesn't just swing back and stop.

Throw in bipolar disorder, and your world can go to shit rapidly and you probably will not understand how until after you've done the damage of trying to fix it.

I can't. Literally can't.

I will not fall asleep unless I spend some time unwinding first. Preferably alone.

No, not a masturbation reference, but I just need some quiet and not have to remember every little social rule that no one ever explained to any extent, at least to me, seems like others have an idea though.

Its a time to let go of social anxiety build up.

Coworkers make the anxiety worse, friends too, my wife as well. It builds up and I need a couple hours by myself to let that fade before I have a chance of sleeping, even with my meds, some of which are prescribed simply to knock my ass out.

Then again, as a teenager, I stayed up 9 days straight before a doctor snowed me and I crashed. No, it wasn't some attempt, it was straight insomnia - it sucked tremendously. Also, no, not coke, being "snowed" on an EEG (brain waves) means the medication has caused such a response in the brain, you're just getting the EEG equivalent to static on an untuned channel, so I have issues with sleep, and have since childhood.
