This person works in the battery industry. Hello fellow battery expert!

I’m not a doctor and a dude, just speaking from personal experiences and shared stories, but are you on birth control? Birth control pills made my wife emotionally unstable when she was PMSing and finally she had enough and stopped taking them. It was a night and day difference and she hasn’t taken them since. Just food for thought.

I’m so sorry, I am officially ‘that guy’, taking a simple analogy and making it annoying…

I’m laughing to keep from crying.

My 16 year old Samsung TV would like to argue otherwise! It’s a beast and 1080p is plenty good for me! But my Samsung kitchen? Holy crap it’s all so terrible…

This comment hits hard. There are a lot of ignorant people in my life that spout idiotic stuff and I brush it off, I disengage. I could take the time to listen, converse and correct but I don’t. I disengage, I brush it off as just “Oh boy, there goes crazy Joe rambling again! But generally he’s a good guy so I’ll tolerate it”. I need to start taking the time to push back and correct people I care about so they understand people are judging them when stupid things are said. Thank you!

You won’t miss him. You’ll miss the idea of who he was

This hits hard with some personal relationships I lost during COVID because they were anti vaccination. Couldn’t be bothered to care how their decisions affect others, that was ‘their problem’.

Ditto, my daughter thinks its great.

I came into this thread all puffed up with pride, only to be humbled by your post. Humility is important, thank you. Please accept my upvote as an insufficient offering to those who came before us.

Damn you people are fast. Winner.

I’m almost 40 and now just realizing my insistence on how to structure all my folders and notes is actually an ISO standard. Way to go me.

College professor here: we’ve all seen a major decline in social skills over the last 4+ years, rather sudden and precipitous, so clearly not just the “normal” changes we’d been seeing over the previous two decades. Loss of basic functionality is the most glaring, like students who simply cannot bring themselves to talk to a professor face-to-face, or speak in class, or make a phone call, or make a decision about their own education, etc. etc.

The most glaring last fall was an entire class of mine that would arrive early and sit in the dark…despite my explaining how to turn on the lights (i.e. the wall switch by the door). When pressed they collectively said they were “afraid they’d get in trouble” for turning on the lights (despite my telling them to do so) and were afraid to “do anything that would draw attention to them” like being the one person to turned on the lights. So next month with my next group of freshmen we’re going to have a talk about basic life skills on day one, starting with turning on the classroom lights when they arrive.

I read that entire article, thank you. Explains a bit why the company I work for seems really hesitant to hire more software engineers.

I recently moved and plan to buy a bunch of cheap apple plants from a big store and get them rooted this year. Then next spring take all the choice varieties from my father/childhood and graft them into the plants for my kids :)

My father enjoys grafting plants, he has an apple tree with 15 types of apples on it. Come to find out he’s been snipping tiny branches off apple trees at Home Depot…

My mother in law tells me how worried she is for my daughter and how unfair it is trans kids will compete with her in sports and use her bathrooms. Thanks for the heads up, keep hiding in your house in the woods and leave the parenting to me, this doesn’t affect you now shut up.
