  • The police are prosecution. They claim they don’t have quotas, but with any job, there are unsaid quotas.

    I worked in IT help desk, and I was told our department wasn’t opening and closing enough tickets to justify our department’s existence. So I changed the sensitivity of our network monitoring system for our SDWAN and wrote a script that would automatically create a ticket and close it pretty much if a single packet was lost. I was hailed a hero as the bean counter CTO wasn’t going to review the actual tickets, but he got the metrics he needed for the meeting.

    This kept a team of 14 quality support technicians employed. This stupid trick I rolled out over a weekend kept families fed for a good five years, delaying the inevitable layoff.

    And we all found better jobs and left at our own pace.

    But I digress, it isn’t like the police work on commission (eh… well drugs disappear… and bribery and extortion exist…) but if you aren’t writing tickets, then the prosecutor is going to bitch because they aren’t handling enough tickets to justify the department of prosecution.

    So cops will look for any packet loss. Registration is said lost packet. The same for insurance, any discrepancy in your license, and if your license plate isn’t perfectly mounted on your vehicle. Just fucking anything.

    You have insurance but don’t have the latest card on you? They will write a ticket. You take the insurance card to the county clerk and they throw the ticket out and cancel the court date. Makes no difference to the cop, as it boosted his KPI.

    “Yay, I am halping! Pay me!” Oh, how the bureaus will burrow.


  • Big dick and big balls mean different things.

    A big dick move means you don’t really have justification for your actions: it is considered petty and everyone else thinks you are making a mountain out of anthill. Karens and Kents are just big dicks.

    Big balls means courage to stand up for your bounderies against an opponent who is trying to be a big dick and at first glance, it appears they have the upper hand. Dude stood up for theirself against adversity, and fuck yeah, they won. It took a lot of balls and some people would have just roll over and bitched about it. Complained and sounded like a weak asshole and in turn, they get fucked.

    But that’s not what dude did, and good on them. However, doesn’t quite fit the post.

    Right now, I am being a big dick, as this is inconsequential to both you and I generally, however I made it a point to try and correct you, which is rather pretentious. But I feel this is, personally, justifiable.

    So this comment is my submission to the OP’s question.



  • What can I do under Martian Law?

    edit: so everyone knows, this is Sealab 2021, a great show and unfortunately the actor who played Murphy passed away.

    It’s like a koala crapped a rainbow in your brain! That’s my yelp review of Sealab 2021. Creator went on to do Frisky Dingo, and most prominently, Archer.

    Adam Reed. Don’t know what Matt Thompson has been doing. 70/30.












  • That was “Satan’s” unspeakable name. We shortened it to YHWH.

    Satan just means adversary. Baal simply means Lord and as it was translated, some references to Baal were switched to God and others to Satan.

    Now, some views separate YHWH and Satan: one example of contention is the story of Job, however, it could be argued that the demiurge was arguing with himself to test the limits of his creations’ loyalty.

    Or we are genetically engineered great apes by the Annunaki. Depends on if you prefer spiritual or sci-fi.

    Actual Bible study is fucking fun! God would smite people from a flaming flying craft with “pillars of light”… you mean lasers? And angels would come down from this ball of fire and talk to the humans. I am not saying it was aliens, but it was definitely aliens.


  • Honestly, if you get athelete’s foot, piss on your feet in the shower.

    More fast acting than tinactin. Again, not joking. I suffered for months until I got that tip from a paraplegic who was an athlete previously.

    Worked like a damn charm. I miss that dude.

    And he could do pull-ups like it was no thing. It was amazing to watch him get out of bed.

    But anyhow, pee on your feet in the shower if you have athlete’s foot. Instant relief, and cures. Pissy Life Pro Tip.
