Last job, they fired the boss I liked but let him hang out on the payroll for 3 months. Since he was also cool with me, I put in 3 weeks vacation and he approved it immediately. (Apparently I'm not the only one who did this.)

Came back, told my new boss this is my last week, basically did nothing the entire week.

If you're going to report on a Supreme Court's failure to consider a case, I'm begging you, tell us in the headline what the appellate decision was. Don't make us dig 10 paragraphs down to find out whether the case was decided for or against.

(Since I don't want to do the exact same thing: The appellate decision held that the commission could continue to be elected by a statewide, rather than a region-by-region vote. This is equivalent to letting voters in Texas have a say in who California's senators should be.)

There's no way it kills itself without taking out Sam Altman first

So they overturned the students' vote and probably pissed off every high school student, undermined everyone's trust, so they could veto... Bulldogs? What was so bad about Bulldogs?

I can't read the gun, so I don't know what anyone is getting out of this. Maybe put some pixels in there.

Brave of you to say this

Examples:

• Black Knight (2001)
• arguably, A Knight's Tale (2001) if you consider it sufficiently funny (big year for anachronistic knights)
• All of the Ice Age films I guess
• Year One (2009)

there's actually tons of these.

It's actually safer if everyone knows. Spreading the knowledge of Roko's basilisk to everyone means that everyone is incentivized to contribute to the basilisk's advancement. Therefore just talking about it is also contributing.

I respect the inclusion of Haiti here.

Crazy when politicians listen to voters and support the things they want. Don't they know what their jobs are supposed to be?

Nobody actually cares about whatever weird fuckin she did in the theater. We focus on it because it's hypocritical.

You could go more petty than this, but this is plenty

This change is likened to expanding a CPU from a one-lane road to a multi-lane highway

This analogy just pegged the bullshit meter so hard I almost died of eyeroll.

This doesn't look good but in concept, pineapple chili sounds amazing.

IDK why people get so offended about pineapple. It's sweet and sour. Lots of things benefit from the addition of sweet and sour.

Damn it's gonna take me a while to make a whole cup but I'll get started

Stop shaming people about reading kids' books.

The kids can have those books back when you're done and not one minute sooner.

The beans and rice bowls look pretty good, although I'll bet they're not spicy enough.

The cheese things... I can't even figure out what's supposed to be in there.

I know what you're thinking but "son" is just a suffix added to the original surname.

Dickinson's dad was really good at dickin'.

All of these things definitely were in the news, of course. They just don't STAY in the news, and the public memory hole works fast.
