This right here is why I won't put anything work-related on my personal phone beyond an MFA app. Plus I don't want to see Teams messages or Outlook emails outside of work hours.
Get Whistler on the case!
Flashback to me trying on my dad’s shoes when I was little. But I eventually grew up and matured, unlike these gormless sycophants.
"Sir, many people are saying you're scared to sail through the strait yourself. When do you plan on proving them wrong?"

"Marriage Story" meme with Adam Driver, captioned "Every day I wake up and don't see his obituary when I look at my phone!"
The New Mexico Museum of Space History actually has a small Star Trek TOS exhibit to recognize the show for inspiring a LOT of people to pursue STEM careers and work to make real some of the fictional technologies they saw depicted.
WarGames is 100% why I’ve spent 30+ years in IT, and also why I spend my vacations touring old ICBM silos and nuclear test sites.
I acknowledge the cheesiness, but I can’t help the fact that the book and movie are both absolute catnip to me— I was born dead center of Gen X, a year after Cline, and I’m very nostalgic for the 80s. It doesn’t get more “target demographic” than that.
Whether it's Democrat John Kerry asking for Swiss on his cheesesteak or Republican Donald Trump demanding a list of Jews at the University of Pennsylvania, both sides have made controversial requests in the city of Philadelphia.
Many U.S. citizens aren’t even safe in the U.S. right now, so this decision is kind of a no-brainer.
This could have been such a cool year for America with the Semiquincentennial and World Cup, but noooooo, we had to elect a brain-addled, bigoted moron with one foot in the grave to ruin everything.
i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid
If they haven’t all been destroyed, Iran has subs that can fire anti-ship missiles, which can usually also hit land-based targets. Mar-a-Lago would be a fat, juicy one, if they could get a sub across the ocean and within missile range.
“My Son went down to Earth once. I don't know what you people did to Him,
but He hasn't been the same since.”
“The simple truth is that interstellar distances will not fit into the human imagination.”
Quite a few good companies providing useful services shot themselves in the dick by shoving AI into them.
Really hoping nobody reminds Trump what happened to oil prices during the pandemic, lest he try to bring about another one.
At this point are they just trying to make things as terrible as possible to maximize Democratic gains in the midterms?
Because I can’t think of another reason why any Dem other than Pennsylvania Shrek would have voted to approve that inbred-Jed motherfucker for dog catcher, much less head of DHS.
“That’s my third monocle this week. I simply must stop being so horrified.”
They had no intel on where the stores of naval mines were held so they could have maybe hit *that* with a couple tomahawks, instead of a school?
Ugh, never mind, these are the same geniuses who also just pulled all the minesweepers out of the area a month ahead of getting into a shooting war.
And thus, the Republicans were doomed to face their greatest fear: fairly conducted elections.
Any ship can eliminate a sea mine… once.
It’s a terrible movie, but I love it. Ernie Hudson, Tim Curry, Joey Pants, and even Delroy Lindo for a couple minutes, just hamming it up in the best way.
Still from The Simpsons where Homer is speaking to Lisa (offscreen) about her resistance to him being in a mob of people doing something she doesn’t like. His response is “Maybe if I’m part of that mob, I can help steer it in wise directions.”
Ahh, I clicked through the old thread and see that his response was more along the lines of this:
Same. Being a kid during our closest brush with nuclear war since the Cuban Missile Crisis did a number on me. Thanks, Reagan!
Still from The Simpsons where Krusty is on his knees, somewhat regretfully saying “They drove a dump truck full of money to my house. I’m not made of stone.”
What was his answer? I’m picturing this:
When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project
