I was a consultant for most of my career until recently where I switched to a salary employee.

This is seriously insane to me. I start getting paid as soon as my ass hits my chair. And when I was working in an office, it was as soon as my foot went in the door.

I can't imagine interacting with the public on behalf of a company without being paid for it. Wtf.

Orson Scott Card actually weighed in on a simple way to determine if something is fantasy or sci-fi since he writes both:

The difference between science fiction and fantasy…is simply this, science fiction has rivets, fantasy has trees.

Nobody remember the time someone had their fly open and only one person noticed

I dunno, there was that one person in the last shot of Teen Wolf who had their fly open and then it spawns decades worth of articles. I don't think anyone noticed at the time, but now lots of people have remembered it

Colorado and California have laws that say you have to list salaries on job postings. As a result, many job posting say "not eligible for residents of Colorado or California" on them, even when the posting is specifically looking for people from those states l.

I'm wondering if this new law has that loophole where companies can just say "hey, we told people from California that our service wasn't for them. It's not our fault that they still signed up for it."

I have not, but I can't remember the last time I was in a KFC. Is it any good?

I'd really like that Lovense machine to boof my clacker

I'm a native English speaker and I still had to Google three words in that sentence.

Get a practice lock that you can re-pin. They're cool so you can see what it's like to have spools or serrated pins. I messed with one for a while and then was like "I wonder how much harder it would be to pick my front door lock instead of this cheap practice lock?" Turns out, the front door lock is ridiculously easy compared to a practice lock.

My neighbor sent a text to his wife once that said something like "make sure to get that pussy nice and clean for me cause I've got plans for you this weekend."

Except instead of sending it to his wife, he accidentally sent it to his dry cleaner.

I think it's physiological response to that teal color in food. There are lots of green foods that are ok to eat, so the immediate revulsion wasn't as strong.

But yeah, that Baja Blast teal is something you only see in nature on mold.
