MIKE LINDELL: THE PELOSIS ARE PUTTING ESTROGEN IN UR BABBIES
:frothingfash:
The vast majority are, yeah…
There was the :bernie: bro congressional baseball :the-gunman: whose heart was certainly in the right place, just not his aim.
But for every 1 of him you have 50 freaks who shoot up a grocery store or church in a minority neighborhood or try to nailgun their way into an FBI office then run into a corn field to kill themselves while posting
It’s pretty clear he needed help… How many :frothingfash: does it take to swing a hammer?
Ha, this is interesting…
For me, Peep Show is extremely (and uncomfortably) relatable at times, and the jokes/gags that aren’t relatable for me I can fit neatly into the other categories individually (the dog of the one woman that Jez hooks up with namely). EDIT: I think we could probably agree to update the definition of “Relateable” to include things that are uncomfortably relatable/even if you’ve never personally experienced it, you can still relate to why it’s uncomfortable. I’m sure there’s some specific example of a social situation where the cringe is played for laughs in Peep Show that just doesn’t translate to some other culture because it’s not seen as abnormal/cringe-worthy. The cringe is suddenly not relatable to them, so the joke falls flat.
I think “ironic” intentional cringe types of comedic performances, eg not sitcom levels of rehearsed, usually fall into “shock” and “meta”.
For me, this list is complete.

I thought it could be James Woods at first, but if you zoom in the face is bordered by “A” and “J”, so I think it’s Andrew Jackson for some reason (???). @Aryuproudomenowdaddy since you were looking too
I’ve done it since Feb 2020. I was working somewhere that started 1 day per week from home, and landed a job at a place that was 4 days remote 1 day in the office. My plan was to just “work from home” at the other office, and they were only ~15min drive apart during the middle of the day if I needed to duck in and out, and I did juggle that just fine for ~3 weeks. Then COVID sent us home full time at both. Now I’m at two different places.
Jobs are “database administrator” (but in reality closer to a devops/data engineer type of role) & “data engineer”. No qualms and I’m still the most effective person in my department at either place, lots of work I do is applicable to both companies as the tech stacks are very similar. Luckily one uses Teams and the other uses Slack, otherwise I might have a mobile phone problem.
I do consider the one a permanent gig, like I’d stay there for 10 years as long as the raises keep up. I did actually try to resign from the primary gig when I got the last offer, but then it was matched and so I ended up keeping both.
This is more of the logistical stuff: I’ve had maybe 4-5 video calls in the last 2 years at the primary gig, the new one has video calls a couple times per week for whatever reason which sucks. I use a software called SplitCam to loop myself sitting around if I need to talk in a call but don’t want to be moving my mouth on video at the other one (or I just mute and put my hands around my chin/mouth contemplatingly if I don’t have enough time to setup the loop). I use a USB switch for the keyboard + mouse to go between both computers, and 1 bluetooth earbud from two different sets paired to each PC so I can participate in simultaneous meetings without too much issue. I just block out the times for recurring meetings with no information in each others’ calendar systems, but sometimes someone needs to do an emergency call for whatever reason.
Nah, I’m sure it’s more common than that. One of the big credit reporting agencies fired 24 people recently for doing it, I think because their paycheck info from both their employers was somehow part of their credit report (?): https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/10/equifax-surveilled-1000-remote-workers-fired-24-found-juggling-two-jobs/
Honestly that’s been my biggest concern, that credit reporting agencies would start selling “detection” services to employers who are too nosy (if someone’s getting all their work done, who gives a fuck?) and that might be a problem for me… The other big concern was doing the W-4 properly so I didn’t owe a lot of taxes and doing the 401k deposits correctly to not go over for the year.
They’re both officially 9-5 but pretty flexible, “bullshit jobs”, so the actual number of hours spent working varies a fair bit from week to week. Like the place that went 1 day per week WFH right before COVID, which I’ve since left, had maybe 2 hours of actual work and then the rest was just browsing /r/chapotraphouse, reading articles, organizing my file-sharing stuff, and the video forums on reddit like IdiotsInCars.
I’d say an average week I get about 30 hours of real work between the two, but I’ve definitely had the occasional week where it felt like I was doing 80 hours. It’s never felt impossible to manage though, there’s some relief to anxiety when I just reiterate to myself that it’s self-inflicted, if it actually gets bad I can just abandon the one I like less, etc
