That’s the difference from a good support tech and a bad one tbh. Bring able to gauge someone’s tech literacy and taking in all troubleshooting done before is literally the first thing you should do. So many escalations I’ve received just has “had user reboot, had them disconnect and reconnect to network. Checked and device has no pending updates, sending to L3.” in the notes. Half of the time a reboot really wouldn’t do anything, and they really just needed to be added to an AD group (most of my tickets last week). I’m just glad I’m shifting out of support and more into projects.

College health centers usually only hand them out to their students. Do you think people stop having sex after they graduate?

No but they can afford them with their easy-to-get high paying job due to graduating right? /s

Idk how they go missing, but we do know where they go.

Hey it’s a small indie publication cut them some slack.

No apologies needed, it’s been playing in my head once a week for the last few months

That’s how I am looking at it tbh. I just want the people I care about to all be in the same room, have a nice meal and not make a big deal. We just had a slumber party at my wife’s parents house with her siblings this weekend and those are always so fun. I don’t understand why there is the pressure to do it big when everyone knows I’m a person who likes smaller, intimate get togethers.

I feel like most of it is everyone knows I’m trying to get better from my codependency and saying it’s my day to do whatever I want, but what I want is simple.

I am fine with a dinner with my family and in-laws, thata always fun. I’m just feeling pressured by everyone invited asking me “Are you sure this is what you want? We can do something bigger since it’s your 30th.”.

Yes this is what I want. That’s why I asked

My plan is a nice restaurant I used to work at, invite my in-laws, mom’s side and Dad’s side and call it a day. That would be 13 people, but everyone is asking if that’s what I would really want.

Yes, that’s what I want and no, I won’t regret doing something this small.

My wife really pushed a bachelor party 2 years ago before we got married but respected that I didn’t want one/hated the idea of what it would have been. Now it’s just my family thinking I don’t want to make a hassle for my birthday. No, I don’t want any of this. If I could get a great dinner for free, a long weekend from work and just hang out at home that would be perfect.

I saw Cujo as a 6 year old and its still sitting with me 25 years later. Our house was always the summer hang out spot for my family since we had a pool, so my aunt and grandma would always go to blockbuster on Friday to get some movies. I got to rent Pokemon Stadium 2 and all I wanted to to was play the game.

I couldn’t play it until I watched a movie with the family. The adults decided we should watch cujo (the perfect film for kids aged 8, 6, 5 and 4 right?)

I still have weird memories of watching the movie, getting freaked out and burying my head in the couch to try and not see or hear anything. After the movie my grandma said I could go play my game, and I still associate the Golbat mini game with it since the dog got rabies from a bat.

So next time you want your grandkid to bond with you, don’t fucking scar them ok?

Why not both?

They should just market to the blackmail fetish community at this point.

Final Crisis had some of this with Thought Robot superman. Iirc they included 3D glasses so you could see Superman reach out to you in our realm one he gained concession of us. Check out some other Grant Morrison works for trippy meta fiction (pls read Animal Man)

And the first thing he did in the 3D world was go to an erotic bakery. I always thought it was a dumb throwaway joke but after thinking about it, that would be a fun first experience in the 3D world

“I’ll add this to our knowledge base and other people can assist now!”

“Hey So-and-so, it looks like you our are guru at this issue, can you take a look at these 4 users who mentioned the software in their ticket?”

I just need to make progress on my projects, stop giving me desktop tickets pls :)

Wht teh fucn not?

A cat so I don’t have to explain why I need alone/chill time at home. It would be cool to be able to jump higher and dunk when around basketball hoops too.

It’s not like the kids have a high tolerance

Toss in some bidets, a squatty potty and baby you got a stew going.
