A lot of people don't and I'm convinced that's why they want to go back to the office. It's not that they hate their family, it's that they're boring and bland so not only do they not go out and make friends doing things they love, they're convinced the only way to have friends is to pay someone to be in proximity with them.
I pity those people. On the other hand I have a rich and fulfilling personal life that includes friends, family, solitude, and people I choose to have in my life. I don't need those folks to fuck that up for me by making me see miserable people who need someone to be paid to be their friend.
You're probably right. I'm in the suburbs and I have to make an effort to do the things I mentioned. It's part of the trade off for living here.
The sole exception was when we had the snowpocolypse a while back and no one had power. The neighborhood got together at my house and we cooked everything that was going to go bad in our freezers on my grills and made sure everyone was eating for days while we waited for electricity. I still don't know most of them more than to just say hello, but we came together when it mattered and that was cool.
I'm staying in my sea of blue until I retire or they manage to do something idiotic like actually leave and start a fucking war with the all the military bases here.
I'm selfish, so I'm gonna need you to survive because you're funny as shit and understand the dumb things I say on here.
H-Town, but I wouldn't mind heading over to Austin. Salvation on 34th? I haven't been in more than a decade and didn't even know they were still open. I remember it was delicious, but I stopped having a reason to go to Austin when my brother moved to Corpus so he could surf more often.
I did a semester of physics in high school and loved it. One of the few classes I actually enjoyed. I joined the nuclear program in the Navy and still loved it. I got to college and brought along all my ACE credits so I got to skip some math, physics, early chemistry, and thermodynamics.
We got to experimental physics and it broke my brain. I barely walked away with my BS and even though I could have made good money I never ended up using the degree because I ended up hating the whole field. It hangs on the wall next to my certificate from a two week bartending school.
I ended up with a long and fruitful IT career where I've never had to apply even a little knowledge I gained from that degree.
I'm curious what other succinct terms people would use to describe the act of doing the bare minimum and not engaging beyond what is required and asked for.
The thing is they've almost gone too far to satirize. I don't really blame people for falling for it considering there are folks with paintings of TFG pasted on Rambo's body seriously hanging in their houses (and in at least one case that I'm aware of, their bar where RATM gets played pretty regularly).
I used to get in trouble for missing calls and texts out of hours because they expected it. They expected it because I usually answered. I stopped and got in trouble a few times. Then they started calling someone else.
Good news, that’s the reason my city has the worst possible public transportation. So now you have to take a car and get all of that time to yourself! They’re just looking out for you and your well-being.
They call that a “stumbling block” rather than just accepting how they feel. So they want to remove those sexy penises.
It’s like the Imam who said men without beards cause impure thoughts. That says more about you than it does about the men without beards. Embrace those sexy beardless men buddy.
I don’t care if you’re straight, gay, demi, bi, or whatever else. First, you shouldn’t feel bad about it. Enjoy yourself and be you. Second, you sure as shit shouldn’t be telling anyone else how they should live because you do feel bad about it.
