You know that when it's actually accidentally good somehow the first thing people do with it is to load it with linux

I'm a few years away to build my own handheld too. I have half the parts already. This sounds like some bs. There are already 10 good to okay handhelds available, what are they smoking?

Holy redditor Batman.

From what i gathered, the whole company was a huge mess. It was basically a very small company buying A big company that was going under. It was kind of the inverse of how these things would usually go. So the new company moved their things into the old factory so to say. With the merger, new people working with old people and new working spaces and what not. He shared his little office with another guy who quit in the merger because he was 62 and wasn't gonna have it. People kinda just started working.

Do they think there is a switch in the oval office that you can turn from expensive groceries to cheap groceries? Like with oil?

Like Dr. Pepper?

I worked for basically Michael Scott at some point in my life. Everyone knew that he had the easiest job on the planet, and he still didn't do it, and we were all glad he didn't. He could talk to a room full of people for hours and explain his position in the company for so long that you forgot what you even asked.

If you think the connection to Michael Scott ends there, you'd be wrong. You would always know when he had a new girlfriend, because he would talk about her all the time. One time he connected his laptop to the projector and the first thing that opened was a picture of his girlfriend. He looked at it, said: OH. Made sure everyone saw her and then pretended to hurry to start his speech.

One day he came to work, sat in my car (i was on my way to a jobsite and had no idea why he was there.) i didn't want to talk, so i just took off. After some awkward silence, he said: i'm not even supposed to work today. I nodded, i had no idea. He asked if i knew why he's here. I said nope. He said he was supposed to get married today but his girlfriend fucked two dudes in the jacuzzi yesterday.

There are countless stories like that and all i could think about was: this guy makes 60k a year by working two days a week. And i don't mean because he was slacking off the rest, he was only employed 20%

I heard many similar stories like that from friends and it's always a bit shocking to me. I'm no go getter or anything, i run my own business, but even then, i don't want to work more than i really have to. But i just really can't imagine what that must be like.

I had a friend who worked as a static engineer. He then worked for a company that made bearings for big machines, which wasn't his line of work but he liked it. The company got bought by another company who did something different and he just fell through the cracks. At first he was super anxious and just pretended to draw on his drawing board and had excel open on his computer. But no one cared, a lot of people switched jobs and suddenly he didn't really know anyone anymore and after a few month he told me that he doesn't really know what his job is.

Oh god, i only once worked in a company large enough where it felt like there were more middle managers than actual workers. The middle manger that was assigned to my team suddenly got sick. Like cancer sick and he basically stopped working within a week. They panicked, because there was no one to replace her. Some guy that i have never seen before told us that we just have to hang in there for 2 weeks or so until they found a replacement. They never found a replacement and i think they just forgot, because nothing has changed about our job, we did the same amount of work and everything. Legitimately the only difference was that they had one less paycheck to pay.

People think i'm crazy when i tell them that. I think it's crazy to get ass blasted by ads. The only time i see an ad is when i'm at someone's home and the tv is running. I'm almost mesmerized by it because of how bad and frequent they appear.

Influencer was always just a slur to me. I had no idea it's an actual job description or "way of life". Then i dated this girl that told me on our first date that she's thinking about to stop buying things from influencers. To me it was like saying: man, maybe i'll stop sending money to these kenyan princes.

It's not an american jail
