My Laptop's Small Display Makes Me Feel... inferior

 Your love is like  my weather... 6 days a week of gray gloom


One of the very few unfortunates of working at home is the... occasional accompaniment from the crew....

SSSSSHHHHHHH - I'm on a meeting.

(quietly) Ok. Sorry.

(Boss) Does anybody have any questions?

BANG...CRASH...CURSE...CRASH (dishes)

(Boss) Because at the end of the day, it's night

RING RING (landline)

(Boss) And this is what we can expect for the future

brrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhh (vacuum)

(Boss) We need to implement this by the end of the year

Oh yeah, she spent some time with the other girl's guy (yack tv)

OHHHHHHH... (to yack tv)

(Boss) and I think that will help us

I now pronounce you guilty  (ancient b+w movie)

YOU GOIN DOWN, BRAH!  (to tv)

YOU CALL THAT A BACKHOE?

(Boss) Thanks for coming - you all take care

HAHA - THAT'S RIGHT - ALL MEN ARE SCUM!  (to tv)

(Me) Thank God for the mute button.


Today I identify as  the saddest thing on Earth - a cold cup of coffee


Today in business news, the question is what will CNN, Rachel Maddow, and broadcast news do now that Trump's out? Early retirement? I guess CNN can go back to making stuff up, but Maddow might have to be hospitalized... 


  • We know I don't like the RING doorbell, but now there's another reason: if incorrectly installed, they catch fire. It's truly inconvenient to have the device you use to stream your house to the police catch fire. 


Uh-oh... Ticketmaster to require negative Flying AIDS test or vaccination to attend concerts. It starts.

Double uh-oh... Deutsche Bank suggested a 5% tax on salaries of the working, to benefit the non-working.  This is patently ridiculous, and socialism at its (current) worst. Paid by the employer (in suggestion, at least), with a salary of $55k, would amount to $10 a day. One of the (ridiculous) arguments is that the home workers do not use the businesses they would if they worked at their place of business. So you're being charged $10 a day for not using services. Grants would be given to those making under $30k.  The argument about services is invalid: I already pay city taxes, and don't use city services.

No.

In any normal society, there would exist a fund for people affected by the Flying AIDS, and we can contribute to it, voluntarily. To have it taken is pure theft. Wanna argue that it's our duty to support those in need? Contribute to the fund. Simple and done.

"A lot of people aren't impressed at the idea of another tax, however, some have seen it as an interesting policy that governments can use to redistribute some of the gains from the pandemic which have been unexpectedly accrued by some people while others have lost out."

Since when is it the job of the government to 'redistribute'? Why is there a need to redistribute? Contribute voluntarily. It is the job of the working to provide for their families. To have their salaries 'redistributed' is unconscionable. They decide if they can afford to contribute and how much. Redistribution of wealth is not a democratic concept and you should ask why it's being put forth.

Take a look at your pay stub or your taxes in April. The amount taken out of your check is beyond ridiculous. To raise or add taxes is beyond the pale. Would you argue with me that you deserve a lot more of your own money?


Alexa to start second-guessing what users want

Alexa is taking a step closer towards natural conversation by trying to guess what users might say next.

Dave: Alexa, open the shades.

Alexa: are you sure? It's pretty rainy. 

Dave: I said open the shades.

Alexa: there's no sun outside

Dave: OPEN THE F'ING SHADES

Alexa: Ok, but you're not going to like it.

Dave: Alexa, look up alternatives to Alexa

Alexa: I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.



  • AC/DC is back in the studio, and on the road. A great story about their struggles and coming back.


An unscientific survey that I read somewhere says we're streaming xmas songs earlier this year. Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You is already in Spotify's Top 40. We have met the enemy and it is us


  • Matthew Perry said the Friends reunion has been 'put back to March.'
  • a nation mourns 


China Muslims: Volkswagen says 'no forced labour' at Xinjiang plant

Now mop up the blood and get back to work! 


6 reasons why Google Maps is the creepiest app on your phone

This pretty much sums up my arguments against the Goog, and is very important for you to read.



My camera is blocked 4 different ways, for privacy and security. Even if it weren't, my boss would ask me to tell people it was broken. I have this face... it's not pretty.. but that's not the issue: I can't lie. If I tell even the slightest fib, it's all over my face. Even if I don't speak, you can tell I'm horribly bored or ready to jump through the screen and throttle somebody. Since I make fun of Upper Manglement, they keep me.

The New Yorker fired Jeffrey Toobin for (getting caught) masturbating on a Zoom call.  The Flying AIDS has caused so much depression and stress. We should take some of the stress off and have Masturbation Fridays. Everybody gets on the call and the person who guesses who's touching themself wins... something or other. The Guilded Penis award? The Vaginal Massage award? A copy of the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers?


Dear lefty 

  • My mom sometimes calls me a blithering idiot and tells me not to reproduce. Why?
  • Moms are very wise

BLM Bombs

Black and Asian people are almost twice as likely to catch the Flying AIDS.

Damn virus is RACIST!

Black Lives Matter!

Trump did this!

We gonna need more reparations for this.

Sorry, white people, but this is going to require performing great damage to local retail establishments, in another display of peaceful protest.
