TIL.

This is about as close as I've ever seen anything come to what I believe in. I usually tell people I'm an atheist because it's easier than trying to explain what I actually believe.

This is pretty much spot on. Thanks.

I have a hard enough time getting my head around how much money $100B is already. Like, I don't even see numbers above the hundreds of thousands ever (usually on loans, like my mortgage), so the idea that some of these people could buy my house 100,000+ times over, and I will spend years, paying for it once, is hard enough.

Wealth hoarding has gotten way out of hand.

Wait.... It's how much? For online access?

And others are more??

I'm a dedicated PC gamer, so I'm out of the loop on what's happening with consoles, but this seems nuts to me

Upvote for bitwarden. I love that service.

I especially love that you can host it yourself if you want. I don't do that right now, but I did in the past for a work thing. It's great.

I got Yt premium as a side effect of the Google one thing. I don't necessarily need the extra space I got the Google one thing for, but I'll probably keep it because I'm too lazy to clear out my storage and the side perks like Yt premium are probably worth more than I'm spending on one.

Oh, I know it's all a show.

I know how badly they're usually contaminated.

Let me lie to myself.

I don't hate my job. I also don't care for capitalism.

Neither of these are why I don't like Mondays.

I work in IT support, and Mondays are always one of the busiest days of the week.

It's like y'all just save up all your IT problems to submit them as critical issues at 8AM on Monday because you like to watch me suffer. If your shit breaks on a Sunday or Friday, or whatever, please, for the love of God, don't wait until Monday to put in a ticket.

You're killing me here.

Yeah, Buffalo has a few less known meanings. One is "to bully" or something.

Of course you also have the animal, Buffalo, which is just a bison IIRC, and then you have Buffalo the place.

So Buffalo (bison) from Buffalo (place), Buffalo (bully), Buffalo (bison) from Buffalo (place).

....Someone else commented explaining the groups, I'm summarizing here.

Anyways, one way to refer to a thing from a place is to put the place before the thing, like "new York pigeons". Aka, pigeons from New York.... But phrasing it with the location first omits the "from", so Buffalo from Buffalo, is simply "Buffalo Buffalo" are bullying (aka Buffalo) "Buffalo Buffalo"... Etc.

It took me a while to "get it" too.

I know cross contamination very well.

I trust non-sterile gloves over supposedly "washed" hands, every day of the week.

The number of people that use the toilet without washing, or even rinsing their hands afterwards is insanely high. People are disgusting.

Simply put, I don't trust fast food gloves to be sterile, never said I did. I just think they're likely to be cleaner than the unwashed hands inside of them.

Yes, they're likely cross contaminated, but by the time I'm accepting the risk of having someone else prepare my next meal, i want to reduce the harm they can do to me as much as I can.

Cross contaminated gloves are going to be less harmful than the hands that contaminated them.

Have you met people? They're not sanitary.

Cross contamination is so much worse than people think it is.

Everything is pretty much contaminated all the time.

I'd still want the illusion of the workers trying to be sanitary by wearing gloves.
