Heh… Armpits. I know what you meant, but you still gave me a giggle with that one.

I respect you as a human and your unique existence… Miracle Whip is ass.

I don’t know if it was nostalgia, or the story, or the gameplay… But, man, I miss that game.

That being said, don’t discount your expertise in your lived experience. The importance of theoretical and experiential expertise is equal in my eyes.

Maybe not directly correlated, but I would hire someone with 10 years experience over someone who studied the subject for 10 years.

This was a while ago. My college didn’t have a CS major (small liberal arts college) so they brought in an adjunct professor who was a Director of IT of a small market research firm. After 4 semesters as his student, he offered me a job my senior year. Longest interview ever.

That was over 20 years ago.

My current job (big tech) was from my friend who I worked with coming up to me and saying “A recruiter from [company] is calling you tomorrow. I gave them your name.” Never in a million years did I think I was at that caliber, but I went through it anyway because the worst they could say is “no”.

They said “yes”.

Come on, baby, now throw me a right to the chin. Don’t just stare like you never cared, I know you did. But you just smile like a bank teller Politely telling me, “have a nice life”

None pizza. Left beef.

Oh shit… This was funny. Thank you.

I’d love to see the data on this if you have it. Isn’t weed more long term impact than the others you listed?

The number of times I’ve bought more Legos “for the kids”…

Costco is the best place to do this. Big heavy carts and huge parking lots for speed and distance. I always get a few smiles when people see a 40-ish year old man flying down the aisle.
