I grew up as the “IT guy” in small town America.

This guy, and the people here (not you) sound like a lot of people I know. I’d look for a different job and grow your passion somewhere else. It isn’t worth it. You won’t change them, and they’re just going to make you feel like you’re wrong, even though you’re right. It’s like the movie Idiocracy.

Copythis ,

One of my coworkers carries a flipper zero around and opens up every single Tesla gas door we see. He hasn’t tried it on the cybertruck yet, the ones I see are usually on the move.

Copythis ,

I am getting so irritated with AI everywhere. It doesn’t even work right. It just seems so lazy

No, in Idiocracy, the president ended up listening to the smart guy.

I think I’m on my way to happiness.

I finally left my abusive wife this week. It was really scary, and she keeps sending me threats (to take me for child support and ruin my life) but I was able to get ahold if a crisis center for abused people, thankfully they have support for men. The crisis center is going to help me tackle all the debt she’s put me in and get me into an apartment that will have room for me and my kids!

Yesterday for the first time in 14 years, I was completely free. I just drove around town. I went and got an ice cream cone, and I got a Mexican Pizza from taco bell, and nobody insulted me, put me down, or made me feel worthless. I got a glimpse of me and I really miss that guy. I used to have the nick name smiley because I always walked around with a shit eating grin on my face because I love life and I love my job, but she’s worn away at me lately.

I might be homeless technically, but I have a safe space until I can get on my feet. I get my kids tonight, we’re going to have a pizza party and play Mario Kart together. I think everything is going to be fine soon…

Copythis ,

I’m doing it!

The crysis center already has an apartment for me. They’re going to pay first months rent and deposit, I can even have my cats with me!

Since I left my wife, I’ve been saving sooooo much money. I know how to cook on a budget, the kids aren’t picky, and I’m not wasting my money on door dash!

It’s gonna be a tough journey, but I can do this!

Copythis ,

I know you’re a stranger, but I get the keys to the apartment in about an hour!!!

I want to tell everyone, but I have nobody to tell. I’m FINALLY going to have a home to go home to.

Copythis ,

I got one of these at Disneyland.

We snuck our cat into our apartment skirting the lease. About 4 years in, they noticed our cat. We were given the ultimatum, pay $500 by the end of the week, or get rid of him by the end of the week. I was absolutely devistated, but we had no choice but to rehome him. We found a nice family across town to take him in. They would send us updates for about a week until he ran away.

About 6 or 7 months later, I’m watching TV with my wife at midnight, and I hear frantic meowing at the door. It was him!

The management company was in such disbelief, they waived the fee for us and he lived to be 12 years old. He passed away in my arms about 2 years ago. I’ll never forget him.

Copythis ,

What if you just went on foot with 5 gallon containers, didn’t do it frequently, and never went to the same gas station a second time?

What’s the first song that plays in the car?

I am not in a position to Shazam it.

Thank you, I appreciate that

My friend says I act like this.

I read a book called “how to win friends and influence people” and it completely changed my life for the better once I started taking the book literally.

Everybody tends to be selfish and think of themselves (not in a bad way). If you play into this and learn what people are interested in, you instantly become interesting to that person.

“Hey Ricky, how’s your hot wheels collection! Get any new classics?” True story, different name. That’s just the butcher at the grocery store I frequent. He’ll tell me all about his latest hot wheels collection, and then I get a discount, we both win. I’ve made a friend, and influenced him to give me a deal.

Copythis ,

He had a couple hot wheels out on the counter and I asked about them, so he was excited to share his hobby with me.

Copythis ,

I did lyft pre-covid and I loved it when people would sit up front.

I had a 12" sub and I’d let people sync their Bluetooth or request music and bump through town. I made so many temporary friends!

Good times…

Copythis ,

Oh I absolutely would ask for consent. I’m in a college town, so it got easy for me to read people. Some people want silence and I could feel it, and I had a kill switch for the sub just in case.

'A lot of money': Trump owes $87K in interest per day until he pays the fine in his civil fraud case (abcnews.go.com)

Former President Donald Trump owes an additional $87,502 in post-judgment interest every day until he pays the $354 million fine ordered by Judge Arthur Engoron in his civil fraud case, according to ABC News’ calculations based on the judge’s lengthy ruling in the case....

Copythis ,

$10k would entirely change my life. That’s it, that’s all I’d need.

I could pay off my debt, then I’d be able to afford a roof over my head.

Copythis ,

I make plenty of money, but the dumb decisions in my past among other things made it so it’s always going to debt, but I can’t climb out of it because of interest, and now that I’ve lost my home (staying with in laws now), my wife spends insane money on door dash, and I can’t get it through her head how expensive and unhealthy it is, and if she really wants fast food, I can go get it. I will literally cook an entire meal, plate it, then hear the doorbell for door dash.

It’s so frustrating and it feels never ending.

Copythis ,

Kinda off topic, but why do homeless people always seem to have a phethora of bike rims? Like just the rims

Copythis ,

I remember when the Xbox 360 came out, I was in high school.

The army brought a Ford Excursion that looked fresh off the Pimp my Ride show, with a huge flat screen that flipped down out of the back, 4 huge subs, and the current football game playing.

You could only play the Xbox if you signed up.

Copythis ,

I saw one in person 2 days ago. I took a picture, and none of my coworkers think it’s a real picture (or that I took it).

It was surreal. I could see it coming from WAY down the road and I was thinking to myself “there is absolutely no way I am seeing a cybertruck right now”

I am dumbfounded they actually made them. I still can’t believe what I saw the other day

Copythis ,

My and utilities finally caught up to me and I lost my home about 2 weeks ago…

The utility company here was responsible for burning down the entire town next to us. They passed the lawsuit payments onto the customers. My bill went from $50 a month, give or take $5, to $200 to $300 a month.

Copythis ,

Yup!

I’m thankful I have a place to stay with family. Now my money I was using toward those insane bills will be used for paying off my debt. I just need to lay low for a bit, get everything paid off, save up, and I’ll be on my feet again!

Copythis ,

I mean, I’d use partial self driving on I5 to eat my taco bell, but I’m still paying attention to what’s in front of me!

Copythis ,

Jeez, It was a rental I had for a month about 2 years ago.

And for your information, it was a single chicken taco. There were no cars around. I’m not talking LA I5, this is in the middle of nowhere and I had to make an emergency drive up Eureka from Sacramento.

Copythis ,

I was drunk and couldn’t drive, so my wife took me to get more beer. She asked me to put gas in our vehicle so I did because it was cold out. I noticed the pump behind me had the nozzle sitting on the ground which was hilarious to me. I took a snapchat picture and posted it saying “what a dumbass!” then I went inside to get my beer.

I get back in the truck and I’m having a grand old time showing my wife what the idiot behind us must have done when I hear the “CLUNK”. I was told I turned as white as a ghost. I’d done it. It was my fault.

I went inside, the cashier knew I was drunk (I was being obnoxious). I was profusely apologized and admitted it was all my fault. She went outside with me, explained it didn’t break and that they can reattach it, BUT there’s a charge.

The cashier then said to me “get in your truck and get as far away as possible immediately. I didn’t see you, this didn’t happen, and I don’t know what happened to the camera footage. Have a nice night.”

I hopped in the truck and just told my wife DRIVE. Security came rolling up as we were leaving (by chance).

This is why some copiers won’t work if they run out of a color.

Some models use all colors to make a deeper black.

Last Thursday, I succumbed to my outrageous electricity bill and they shut off my electricity. My lease is up on my apartment next month, so we decided to ditch the apartment.

10 years I lived there. All gone. I had to uproot my family and move in with my in laws. I’ve been moving almost all of my belongings to the dump, and I got a storage unit for the important stuff.

I could let this get me down, but I’m excited for the future. That defeated feeling got so bad, I feel positive (if that makes sense?)

I’m going to use money that would be for rent to pay off all of my debt and start from a clean slate. I see this as a new beginning.

I’ve been talking to almost everybody I run into and it really helps me not feel so doomed. Somebody even donated a car to us, I’m supposed to go pick it up today or tomorrow.

Even when things are as bad as they could be, there’s something positive in every situation if you look hard enough. My situation might suck, but I’m determined to not let it get me down.

Hang in there stranger, it’s all we can do.

I saw a video Jamie Hyneman made where he went to a comicon event (I think) and he just simply walked right through. He didn’t stop, but he was friendly and said hi to everyone he came across.

Despite being so famous, he never created a crowd, and he just kept on walking and saying hi.

I’ve applied this to the chatty Kathy’s at my work and it works every time. Just a quick “hey there!” without stopping. It never fails. Every once in a while I’ll stop so I don’t look like a jerk, but it works!

Release the pressure in your pressure cooker near them.

I work on copiers for a living. Seriously, fuck HP.

I swear they’re designed not to be worked on. Just speaking of the fuser on any Laserjet photocopier, they heat up and cool down constantly. Obviously stuff is going to break and it needs to be repaired.

HP says fuck you! On the little desktop printers, on some models, you have to take all plastic panels off, and they all connect to each other so good luck getting it put back together right. They’re built exactly like a rubix cube. I literally clip off plastic tabs and just leave it. The customer never knows.

I’ve been through official HP training. They told me “we can’t teach you on a specific model because we average a new model every month, so we’ll just give you a ball park on what to look for”

I stopped calling HP support because they don’t even know their own machines. Shout-out to Laser Pros, they’re the best.

I was walking around one morning and heard that unsettling futuristic electric car noise.

To my surprise, it was an electric school bus! It looked like every other school bus, but the bottom was blue. I saw it take off too, it seemed like it had a lot of giddy up to it.

What's a word you've spent a long time not using right?

Just recently I was in a conversation with a number of UK mainlanders and we had a debate over what “tories” meant, apparently disproportionately ordinarily it refers to a political party and it’s not usual to use it as short for “territories” as I’ve used it (according to how the debate ended, it was half and half...

When I was a kid, it was Yosemite.

I was obsessed with GTA San Andreas, and that was the big truck in the game, and it was my favorite. I was pronouncing it like “yosa might” for a while until somebody pointed it out, and then I connected the dots

There’s a certain Sonichu producing person that still does it…

I lost my Casio watch somewhere in my closet about 3 years ago (I am very lazy).

I still hear it beep every hour.

I am a professional photocopier technician, focusing on office sized, but also desktop laser photocopiers. I am certified in HP, Lexmark, various Xerox models, and various Canon photocopiers.

I say with all of my heart: Fuck HP.

Trump says he'll be a dictator only 'on day one' if elected (www.rte.ie)

Donald Trump has said that he will not become a dictator if he becomes US president again except “on day one”, after warnings from Democrats and some Republicans that the US was in danger of becoming an autocracy if he wins the 2024 election. Fuck, well at least he’s honest on this statement

I watched the mkbhd video on it.

It was like he was trying to make everything sound cool, even though he knows it’s a disappointment.

A tech enthusiast will have all the smart devices in their house.

Somebody that works in tech will shoot the microwave if it beeps when it’s not supposed to.

Oh I fully understand that. I am a huge car enthusiast, I see right through it
