    My dad started getting those meal kits because he's 70 and is finally getting kicked into actually doing cooking by my mom, and Jesus every recipe is oil and salt. What's the point of cooking at home if it's just as unhealthy as eating out

    Salt is delicious.

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    it's still significantly less oil and salt than what is at a restaurant. It being healthy doesn't mean it has to taste bad.

    today my boss tried to tell me what to do and I almost blew a gasket

    turns out that working independently for about 10 years on research stuff makes you sort of bad at being an emloyee

    but like, how dare he

    fortunately he eventually read the room and entrusted me with project planning/technical direction which I think he had originally intended to dictate, and instead just ended up wasting two hours of my time with a meeting about...I don't know, the conceptual questions of my project? "storyboarding"--which obviously I already had in place mentally cause I'm not an idiot. But the younger consultant thought that was a useful meeting so for her sake maybe it was good we had it? I would have rather just spent 15 mins writing it out and distributing it to the manager and younger consultant though rather than going through "brainstorming"

    a worry i have is i now have a new boss whom i probably can’t just tell to go fuck himself when i strongly disagree with his dumb ideas haha

    yeah but you can just like

    check out and think about how you can just fly to Vegas tomorrow and see a show and it won't even hit your budget

    so i wouldn't worry too much

    i can't even comprehend the mental space people would be in to see a package on a porch, stop, reverse your car, and go take it

    i understand that makes me sound probably ridiculously naive but like....what kind of savage do you have to fucking be to do that shit and then get mad about a prank package that you stole

    I was talking to my brother earlier and I mentioned my new phone, and how it was disheartening that, during setup, I was asked in so many words if I was cool with them selling all of my data to other people

    "Like if I press 'No', does that mean they won't do it? Or does that just acknowledge that I'm not cool with it, but they're gonna do it anyway?"

    My Rubik's cube average solve time is down to about 40 seconds. I'm working on colour neutrality and have blue- and green-face solves down to the point where they don't feel weird anymore, which just leaves red and orange to go. Then I'll just do a dozen solves on each face every day to reinforce it until they're all roughly the same speed.

    Cubing is a nerdy hobby, but it impresses normal people more than my heroic Argus kill, so that's nice.

    Package theft, even with my criminal mindset, just seems like a dangerous game

    Like 9 times out of 10 people are ordering absolute nonsense that I have no interest in and probably have minimal sale / resale value

    Which means its a volume game, and anytime you have to do a crime several times to get results, your chances of being caught increase dramatically!

    That is pretty neat!

    I have no idea how solving a Rubik's cube quickly is even learned, so feel free to mention more of the process as you go along

    Although 40 seconds is already freaky fast, that's fast enough that you can use it to illustrate a point while giving a pithy speech about order from chaos

    I assumed package thefts were usually crimes of opportunity where they aren't going out to steal packages but notice an easily stolen package and decide to go for the crime lottery.

    That glitter bomb thing is perfect

    Package theft is bad but at the end of the day that seems like an appropriate punishment, just freaking them out and making a huge mess they have to clean up

    It’s probably the least disruptive kind of stealing a person can do, but it’s still bad
