My parents won an AR-15 and a .300 in a raffle last year benefitting a family friend with cancer. They sold them and bought the grandkids’ Christmas presents with the proceeds. That’s the kind of hunting/shooting culture I love. I live in the city now and I honestly don’t trust strangers here enough to be responsible around guns/not shoot me accidentally in the face. If anybody in Denver area knows of a solid gun club let me know.
Most of the time I’d rather just go to happy hour (not at/with work) or home on Friday, but having the option to drink beer at 3 p.m. and bullshit about the work week in the office is preferable to not having the option.
Do you work at a bar? If your boss is selling beer and liquor without a license he better hope it doesn’t catch up to him, even if it’s just to employees at a loss.
My company has free beer on Fridays after ~4 p.m., unlimited insofar as a ton of people don’t stay late and empty the fridge, in which case if the boss is still around and drinking he might approve of expensing a beer run across the street. It’s not an inconsiderable factor in why I’ve stuck at this job close to three years.
Made a conscious decision to have a guest (i.e. shitting) bathroom when I moved in with my ladyfriend. That I believe, is about 80% of why we cohabitate so well. Also, having my own small bathroom means I can decorate it with stuff like this
If you’re in tech and not in a client-facing role, you will be ridiculed for wearing a suit, even during the interview. If you wear a a tie to sit at your desk 8 hours a day writing code, you look like a complete try-hard. It doesn’t matter if the CEO sees you looking spiffy once a quarter; your peer reviews will reflect poorly if you screw up everybody else’s casual office culture thinking you’re the next Goldman Sachs Elevator.
There ain’t that much of a difference between us and the generation before. They were just as big of shitheads when they were young, and just as promiscuous if not more. They didn’t have social media to document everything, but the attitude was the same.
My company switched to having 5 sick days on top of vacation because the parents kept coming in to the office when they were sick because they’re sick like 90% of the time (kids are gross) and it was getting all of us normals sick too.
I spent 300 bucks on a weekend beer and music festival at Telluride, and I didn’t just fucking trash the place. It doesn’t make you classy, it just means you’re an asshole.

Ladyfriend: “Don’t you want to wear a scarf?”
Me at 40 degrees: “No thanks, I’ll probably get too hot.”
Me at 15 degrees: “I’d rather just wear my ski neck gaiter and actually stay warm.”

Also, originally from Blaise Pascal, but dammit if Boardwalk Empire didn’t underline it.
Favorite ski destinations?

Probably fucking Detroit.
Salina, KS is where dreams go to die.
Yeah, having a smart live-in girlfriend who makes as much as I do and can hold a conversation totally sucks.
Leave him alone, Mrs. Defries, IT’LL HAPPEN!
Does he make you pay for beer?
I think SJWs and non-SJWs alike should both agree blackface is a no-go this century.
