Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

It really sucks not having anyone to use as references for jobs. I'm still looking for a new job, and pretty much any job I find that's nicer than a Wal-Mart, Target, or store like that, they want references and I don't have any. I didn't think to ask anyone at either of my old jobs, and I feel kind of weird going back and asking the people I used to work with if I can put them down as references.

Dude, if they were supervisors/managers, etc, and you think they'll give you an even half-way decent review, you don't have to ask them. If you have their basic contact info, just put them down on the forms. I was a department manager at a Dillard's (God help me) and I knew it was just part of the job. As long as the person wasn't a total fuck up, I'd recommend them. Half the time, I could barely remember people so I just gave them a decent recommendation. If I remembered someone in particular, they were either really great or really horrible.

I don't know any of their full names or phone numbers though.

Trying to decide if I want to burn the bridge with my evangelical Qanon MAGA friend. Friend moved to another state so I'll probably never see that family ever again, but they're still my Facebook friends. They're not acting like the loudmouths who post memes calling Fauci a war criminal or comparing wearing masks to the holocaust, but they do like to share PragerU videos and unconditionally agree with Ben Shapiro and Rand Paul.

I have the perfect line too, even though it's not the actual reason: "You're why I don't believe in God anymore."

I'm getting a bunch of stuff on my Facebook feed about 'Liquid Death'.

Which as far as I can tell is just water, except you're a wuss for not drinking it.

...DOES THIS ACTUALLY WORK ON ANYONE?!?!!

Had a millennial laugh at how I held their phone. Apparently young people all hold it like a gaming controller so they can type with both thumbs, & old asses like me hold it with one hand & type with the other.

Not embarrassed by that, because #1 I have big old working man's hands, with thumbs that ain't for typing on a 2" keypad. Plus, that's how I've always held my tablet... & the reason that's how I always hold my tablet, is because it's like a book, & that's how I hold a book, & I'd shutter think about when it was that kid last held a book.

Hey... I'm with you. I don't even have a smart phone. I was using his. He's an intern & needed me to fill out portions of his evaluation on it. I do have a tablet though, which I use to stream music at work, & occasionally read something at lunch

^i do have a smartphone, an 8" pad (for reading books), several laptops and a desktop with 128gb ram (for serious stuff) - i'm certainly no luddist, but my fingers are just way too fat to do that sort of thing

Are there any sports besides equestrian sports where individual men and women compete against each other on equal footing? I was watching one of the mixed team events at the Winter Olympics and it reminded me that someone said that during the summer games, and I was wondering if it's actually true.

So what do you use to type on the smaller screens, a stylus of some kind?

I will occasionally have a laptop too, & of course this home pc. I avoid a smart phone. I have too much of an addictive personality, & I know myself too well to have that temptation in my pocket all day

i just dont - i do move quotes from the pat by d&d but i don't type on my phone, if i want to make a notice on my phone i record it - i don't leave the house (other than shopping or so) without at least a small laptop, though

So now I'm kinda miffed that the "Holy Spirit" didn't send someone to give me $5000.

I mean, sure, I'm an atheist, but I'm not ruling out that maybe random cash could move the needle.

The $$ rarely "flow" that way. "Come on children, sing and Shout, And turn those pockets inside Out!!!"

Is there a way to see who you shared another person's story post to on Instagram? I accidently sent one, but it happened so fast I have no idea who I sent it to.
