capturing the rules as tests is a great way to make sure that rules remains true

Capturing the rules as documentation is also a great way to make sure that rules remain true.

Lol just kidding! Documentation … can you imagine?

You condense people into a smaller and smaller space until they produce a black hole - of Calcutta, that is.

That fucking alphabet grid where you try to type search terms with the four arrow keys is what always sends me back to reading books. Like, just doing that with a keyboard-type layout would be way better or even T9 - or maybe they could recycle old used Blackberrys for the purpose.

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Not me any more.

how dumb does one have to be to tailgate a bus?

Pretty fucking dumb but it’s a low bar. The only upside to tailgating a larger vehicle like a bus is that our stopping distance is a lot greater so the tailgater is less likely to slam into us.

Fun little Stalin fact: when the Bolsheviks first took over the Kremlin, food was a scarce commodity. Stalin faked being sick so he could have a whole chicken to himself every day.

I live in PA and I’m not holding my breath for this shit to ever be enforced. I’m a school bus driver and last year I had a local cop pass me when I was stopped with my red flashers on letting kids off the bus. He was driving with one hand and looking at his phone in the other - never even saw me.

I’m a school bus driver and many of my coworkers use their phones (talking, texting and even doom scrolling) while driving a bus - sometimes even when they have kids aboard. And these buses have internal cameras that are always recording! I don’t understand how they’re not fired or at least suspended for it, but I suppose the driver shortage has something to do with it.

I’m a school bus driver and the course material (and test questions) for the CDL state this explicitly. If someone is tailgating you, you slow down. Tailgaters are gonna tailgate no matter what, and slowing down means the damage will be less if they do happen to hit you. If that makes them mad tough tittie (the course material does not use “tough tittie” but you can tell they wanted to).

The great irony of people who tailgate school buses is that WE CAN’T EVEN FUCKING SEE YOU BACK THERE. Even in your fantasy world of the person in front of you feeling pressured and speeding up (which never ever actually happens), it can’t possibly happen if they don’t even know you’re there.

THEY BANNED A FUCKIN BEE

Goofy has a son.

It’s weirder that Goofy - a talking dog - has a dog.

She ain’t getting out of no tar pit with that broken wrist.

Not really relevant, but: I feel like maybe capybaras are so chill and friendly because they know predators will attack and eat the other critters gathered around instead of them.

Weighing way too goddam much is also a cause of back (and knee) problems.

Shit, Anthony Bourdain had six-pack abs at age 61. You’re never too old to stop whining about life and start moving some weights around and stop eating so much shitty food.

Dude has an unlimited supply of ketamine. He probably is actually enjoying life most of the time, unfortunately.

The person I actually am hits the snooze button 26 times in a row.

The most ironic cybertruck I’ve seen so far was one owned and vinyl-wrapped by a waterproofing company. The same cybertruck that can’t be taken through a car wash.

I got paddled once at school in 6th grade (this was in the '70s when they still did that shit). Two whacks for talking during class or maybe it was because my desk was messy. The teacher let me choose between two paddles (an evil all by itself) and I foolishly chose the one with holes drilled in it (which leads to greater whack speed and less surface area hit). She took me out in the hall and her first blow missed badly - hit me on my hamstrings behind my knees and they kept hurting for days. She said “oh that one doesn’t count” and hit me on my ass twice more.

Weirdly enough, she had marched with Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights era and played his “I Have a Dream” speech for the class (not on the say day as my paddling, though).
