I am glad I don't have to drug test for my job. My neighbor across the street had texted me yesterday night asking for help installing a shed in his backyard so I said, yeah cool no worries, how long will it take? He says it will take like 10 minutes, I just "need to hold the roof in place while he fixes it to the rest of the frame of the walls". I'm like okay, I'll come over on my lunch break ( i work from home)

So at 3pm I walk over and he's in his backyard. I'm shout "hey, should I come through the front" and he says "yeah, i'm back here and the front's open, just come on in" . he is in his 60s and speaks strongly with the accent of someone from "the bayou"

I open the front door and the moment I cross the door frame was, with no exaggeration whatsoever like walking into a solid, physical wall of marijuana smoke . I found it impossible to believe how powerful it was , and it completely overtook and disorient me, similar to the feeling of the motion sickness i get in VR games . It was like the energy shields from Star Trek but emanated from the inside, and made of laser-repellent marijuana

I stepped back from the LOTR Balrog Roar of the ganja shield ,backed onto the patio and muttered "dude, holy shit", gathered myself, took a deep breath and entered closing the door behind me. I walk through his living room and see the door leading to the patio out of the kitchen. i can still smell the marijuana through my fucking skin. i head to the back, and he's standing there taking a bong rip which by all accounts lasted in duration from when I first greeted him 30 seconds ago. i crossed the kitchen and open the door to the backyard patio. He exhales a pyroclastic hurricane of marijuana like it was totally normal and smiles, and is like "hey boss, thanks for helping me out - by the way brother do you smoke?" i finally exhale normal oxygen and look at him, and his eyes are just two black points on orbs made of rasberry schwepps jam and I'm like "no, i dont, it gives me anxiety" and he says "Oh man thats too bad."

So I'm like "sheds looking pretty good" and he says "thanks mans hes coming together", and the next part I found impossible to believe happened. He asks me "Hey uh does it smell like weed in the house by the way?" you could have seen my eyes from outer space, i just stared at him wondering if he was serious. He 100% seriously goes "My wife said I can't do it in the house anymore ,she gets weird about it" . I consider not lying, but then I do, and go "Nah man, I could barely smell anything, lets finish this shed"

Who else installed Fallout 4 to check out the latest patch after watching the show. Is it any good?

I'm about to look for essential mods on the ps5 version before starting over but have no idea which are essential

I have come here to say that I have gotten used to having all the Start and Taskbar icons on Windows 11 in the middle of the Taskbar is now my preferred way, instead of at the left. Center is far superior. I can just see the things there easier!

That is all.

Man these tech billionaires are completely out in the open with their fascist leanings now. This is is supported by a bunch of known people in tech circles and he’s talking openly about taking over San Francisco. It’s ridiculous until it’s not.

Balaji then revealed his shocking ideas for a tech-governed city where citizens loyal to tech companies would form a new political tribe clad in gray t-shirts. “And if you see another Gray on the street … you do the nod,” he said, during a four-hour talk on the Moment of Zen podcast. “You’re a fellow Gray.”

The Grays’ shirts would feature “Bitcoin or Elon or other kinds of logos … Y Combinator is a good one for the city of San Francisco in particular.” Grays would also receive special ID cards providing access to exclusive, Gray-controlled sectors of the city. In addition, the Grays would make an alliance with the police department, funding weekly “policeman’s banquets” to win them over.

“Grays should embrace the police, okay? All-in on the police,” said Srinivasan. “What does that mean? That’s, as I said, banquets. That means every policeman’s son, daughter, wife, cousin, you know, sibling, whatever, should get a job at a tech company in security.”

It happened, I met someone in real life that told me about listening to this "jordan peterson" guy he found in recently in a video (it was some of his earlier convoluted meaning/selfhelp stuff from what I gathered in the conversation) .

I gave him the cliff-notes on why peterson in a huge fraud/turd/clown etc and told him I send him some fun derisive articles about his body of work (there was one short to the point great article I can't remember the source of):

I found this stuff like this: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/03/the-intellectual-we-deserve

if you have a good shorthand 360° mockery dunk on his work/persona post it here and I'll give him a best of compilation. Googling if there is a behind the bastards episode. There has to be?
