Sorry to hear that. Drop me a message if you feel the need. I’ve leaned on SS posters in the past, it was very therapeutic actually.

I miss the days when work afforded me the opportunity to type posts like this. Now I’m lucky to slam a couple posts during my morning constitutional.

You got a lot of time of your hands? I got some projects around the house I could use some help with. 😀

I’m embarrassed to be a Bills fan again

Not surprising. They might win 9 with some luck. I’ve been on this train since the second last season ended. They did nothing to get better. They are older and are proven losers.

I feel like these posts belong together

This sums up my feelings https://x.com/crossswordspod/status/1699078731782856872?s=46&t=MlZqQ72jOicGxFUY54ofpA

I’m like one of those great players that’s a terrible coach. I was just born with my abilities. I cannot bestow calf-atude on anyone.

Him. He’s him. I think that’s what the kids are saying…

I sincerely hope you’re right

I didn’t have a good feeling about this team prior to the preseason and this game did nothing to sway my opinion. They look bad in every phase. Kincaid was the only bright spot. I was thinking at worst this could be a 10 win team but I’m thinking they may struggle to stay above .500. The defense is a problem. I was worried about the DBs and LBs. I think they both are going to get gashed. I don’t see playmaking at any position outside of Milano. A bunch of garbage.

As my wife always tells me, make it a poll.

I don’t see a huge need for a soft as puppy ***** 15 goal scoring veteran. Rousek could easily get there if given the ice time. Rousak isn’t a kid. He’s 24 and put in his time.

I’d love to blame my experiences on people using their phones but this happens to me the most at work, where cell phones aren’t allowed. Same goes for outside of work. It’s people with no visible distractions just mindlessly walking directly into my face.

Lemme know when these terrifying aliens start thinning out the population. I’ll pop some corn and set off some fireworks.

Shopping, in general sucks, because people in general suck. I shop at Aldi down the street from my house. At most there are maybe 20 people in the store at any given time, unless it’s a weekend where people are buying party stuff. Even with theses low numbers, there will be one or two shoppers who seemingly think the store is theirs and everyone else is just a NPC in the background. I’m usually in a decent mood in these situations. Just got outta work or any weekend in general. It does amaze me with the obese society we have become, how easily one person can block an entire aisle with their large posterior and a shopping cart. They act incredulous that somehow they are in the way.

I like the ole idea. The above situations are exactly what I try to avoid. I don’t want to talk to anyone. I don’t want anyone to look at me. I don’t want anyone’s day affected by me one iota. Just act like you are paying attention to life so I don’t have to help guide you through it. The driving threads are coming

This is an old adage I heard at work years ago, it still holds true to this day. It was tossed around for safety concerns. You can get really injured in a factory if you aren’t careful of your surroundings. This also applies outside the workplace. Or at least it should. Every single day I have to adjust the route I’m walking because someone essentially walks directly at me, with no intention of engaging me or interacting with me. I’m not certain what their plan is. One of us is going to have to adjust and these morons seem completely oblivious they are walking directly into the path of another person. I’ve gotten to the point where I usually make it very obvious that I am adjusting my route because of said person’s trajectory. Either these people have absolutely no self awareness, they can’t even fathom that their actions might impact another person. Or they are super arrogant just assuming everyone is going to move for them.

It’s not often I’m at the store high as I don’t like driving stoned but it certainly quells my anxiety about lines…and just about everyone else. 😀

Pardon my ignorance but aren’t there sensors in the road detecting if there are vehicles at that light? So in theory, if you are 3 car lengths behind the first car you could be inhibiting natural traffic flow as the light doesn’t sense your vehicle, giving priority to a lane it shouldn’t. (I’m thinking left hand turn lanes specifically)

Six feet is fine is you at least look like you are in line behind someone. Most of the people I see aren’t even facing the direction of the line. So I have to ask if they are in line.

Oh I’ve got plenty to be happy about. It generally has little or nothing to do with anyone outside my circle. I just thought an OT that people could relate to would be ideal in these lean hockey weeks.

Yeah I mentioned the COVID thing. I understand the gun point but here in Rochester just this week someone reported a gun sighting at a Walmart. I immediately called ***** (not that it couldn’t happen) but unfortunately, we usually find out about active shooters after the damage is done. Lo and behold, no one had a gun. A whole section of town was shut down, worrying hundreds of people over something some Karen saw they thought was a gun. I’m glad everyone is safe and being overly cautious is good but you better know what the ***** you are talking about if you are going to throw that out there. It’s the reason yelling fire in a crowded movie theater is a crime. You are causing the issue.

I was just gonna touch on this. You are correct. It’s people be oblivious to anything going on around them. They does remind me of someone who was a little too observant at…ehm…Pittsford Wegmans. I rarely shop there but it’s one of 4 Wegmans within 10 minutes of my house. So I enter the 7 items or less line. I think I had 8-9 things but who ***** cares right. So this 97 year old lady behind me starts nagging that I have too many things. I’m like WTF are you talking about grandma. Apparently he 4’10” ass couldn’t see the divider between me and the person in front of me. So I get all heated at this old bag because she has the observational powers Mrs. Magoo.
