Programmer/dad in Tennessee. Somebody should do something about all the problems.
Is every single photo on the internet of this woman one where she is holding up one hand? I feel like I have seen this picture or variations of this same picture countless times. It's like the George Conway peeking up through his eyebrows picture. Everywhere. Rant over. I am getting old.

I predict that my oldest son will do exactly this and will say exactly these same words when he is learning to drive. I will peer at him through my suddenly wizened brow and say, "As it was written. Hop out"

Woke never meant anything. It's a tag to slap on something that summons others to pile on to it. Woke was never a concept or a way of life, it is a nearly meaningless accusation that everybody understands the meaning of. Its only value/function is a shared "I hate this/you/y'all" and "Yeah me too!"

I have worked at the AutoZone headquarters in Memphis, TN. You're not really wrong with this. Every Monday the employees must wear either red or gray shirts indicating management or non-management. They must also assemble to deliver the Cheer, which is AUTOZONE spelled out in human-formed letters.

I see he worked in a South Park joke here. Ol' Heironymous was probably chuckling to himself with a little caricature voice in his head, "No, frogbird with hands, that's my pot pie!" Dogbear with nose fangs says, "You know, I learned something today," etc.

I have a sudden, clear dread that I will begin thinking of Yappy's dog treats as camping solutions and that this is how I will die

Also, despite us agreeing to this stupid estimating framework, you will go through the planning poker charade to produce your unit-less values, and we will interpret your answers as a discrete, specific number of hours that you are guaranteeing us the task will be done by. Also there are 10 P1s, and

Mmmm boy! Client standup calls scheduled for 15 minutes that turn into all-day mumbling/very long pauses between people working on things unrelated to what I'm doing but can't leave the call because our project manager doesn't want to "miss" anything. Just like Mom used to make!

Paul [singsong]: I don't know if you noticed this bud, but we are at that part of the story where the UC is gonna kinda definitely become necessary. Do you see that awful thing dug into the ground with all the MJ12 troops and lightning pouring out of it? What do you think?

JC: Wow you are a jerk
