Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[payn]

I have a public health question. I was forced to wear a mask in the supermarket by some loud, angry person in the parking lot, and now I have a sore knee. Who do I sue? The loud, angry person? The supermarket? Mark Zuckerborg? I think it must be that last one; he has more money.

I concur. Its always the person/organization with the most money.

"No longer"? I don't think I've ever shopped happily...

...but I came here for the special offer... Guaranteed personality!

Maybe there's the clash.

In unrelated and slightly serious news, I have found a ridiculous "Life Hack" that has actually, honest-to-goodness improved my productivity in my IT job. And that is, I play this video in the background so I have the theme music from The Terminator (1984) going on while I work. I am not sure if it will work for anyone else, but I have a feeling it will work until the AI crash hits and wipes out all of our retirement accounts.

I have frequently used music or environmental sound recordings as an aid to focus. When I passed the bar exam on my 4th try (long story), I had made a heavy metal tape I’d studied to and listened to on my drive over to the testing location.

So when I sat down in the testing venue, I was able to tune out extraneous noises while my “mental DJ” kept playing a handful of those songs on repeat.

Earlier in my life, there was a painting I did with Black Sabbath’s “All Moving Parts Stand Still” on my portable CD player’s repeat mode.

While I haven’t used these in particular, they might work for someone:

The funny ones are when the person claiming the high educational ground make statements that clearly show they don't have the education that they claim, like the time I got in a debate with an "immunologist" who had no idea that vaccines aren't a 100% defence against that disease.

My wife appears to be immune to the Chickenpox vaccine. She has been vaccinated 3 or 4 times and still shows 0 antibodies for it when she has her blood tested.

I took an astronomy class in college and it consisted of like 7 or 8 online exams over the semester. I always dropped the needle on Miles' Bitch's Brew when I took those tests. Felt like the album was just made for that.

My cable system used to have an OK but not great set of music audio channels. I took many online exams to the sounds delivered by their electronic music channel.

Sign that this is the dumbest possible timeline. People demand that you must be a card-carrying, degree-holding expert to ever speak on a topic while simultaneously ignoring what all the card-carrying, degree-holding experts say.
