Just a quick reminder that all my opinions are my own and if you disagree with me, don’t even bother, I already hate myself more than you ever could.
Let’s start with something we all can agree is a *takes off glasses, looks at camera* …slippery slope.
MASTURBATING ON COMPANY ZOOM CALLS

Far be it for me to tell free men and women what to do in their free time, but setting the precedent that it’s acceptable to jerk off on the company dime would be the load that drowns our economy. Think of the small businesses. Have a heart.

Gene seems like a solid guy, but can someone tell the NFL that replay exists and we don’t need a guy in a vacant booth rewinding VHS’s to explain to the public what pass interference is? Go home to your family, Gene. You’re just guessing like the rest of us.
TIKTOK HOT GUY HAIRCUTS

Hey Chris, as much as we crave quantum mechanics after a 10 mg indica gummy, know that we’d also be totally content with Ratatouille on Blu-ray.
Mouse manipulates redheaded virgin to cook good. ABC. Got it.

BOSTON DYNAMIC ROBOTS
Three of these suckers could mercy rule the ’86 Bears before taking over Chicago while us mindless lemmings are like, “Haha they can do the Dougie.”
What will it take for society to consider these robots a threat? One needs to come out as gender ambiguous in the Bible Belt or re-surface an insensitive tweet they wrote from 2012. Only then will we see what’s important.
