Corporate-speak especially on linkedin from the types of users who use it as an influencer platform. “Synergy” for example.

How much do you pay a month? We pay $50 and they don’t even mow the common areas regularly.

Well technically you can avoid the socialization part (eat-and-run). As long as you can get to the food without having to talk to someone first, you should be good.

Having to wait a day or more to download something. Today you can download a movie in seconds.

• Having hand sanitizer in your everyday bag. I’ve been doing it way before the pandemic and it’s a quick and easy way to disinfect while you’re out and about and not near a restroom to wash your hands.

• Want to get free food a couple of times a month? Just go on eventbrite and meetup and look up free events in your area. If you are in a relatively large city, chances are there are a ton of free events every week where you can just show up and get free food in exchange for a little socializing.

Tilda because you can roll it down from the top of your screen with one key press.

Ok the push notification pop up started to piss me off halfway down lol. But yeah, this is a cool demonstration.

Like the “Come to Brazil!” comments on every music video or concert on youtube.

The only barrier to entry is creating a usb installer. Once you’re past that, there’s nothing more than basic computer knowledge to do what you need to do. By basic, I mean knowing how to use a computer, so you should be good. Just choose a user friendly distro like Mint and you won’t need to open the terminal at all unless something really bad happens.

Not directed at you specifically, but it’s the same with IT and dev people but with security/privacy.

This is hard as I have a ton of favorite albums. Just saying whatever cimes to mind first, I’d pick: In Absentia by Porcupine Tree.

Bitwarden. Otherwise I won’t be able to log on to any of my accounts.

Wait, you thought Egyptian restaurants don’t exist? Especially for a melting pot like the US, I assume the opposite, that there is always a food place that serves a particular cuisine from somewhere in the world.

But to answer your question, and assuming by exotic, you mean anything that isn’t your standard fare American, European, Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese, or Japanese food, then I’ve had:

• Ethiopian
• Thai
• Singaporean
• Filipino
• Taiwanese
• Iraqi
• Afghan
• Indian

Thunder. It’s cross platform and available for both Android and IOS.

That, and things like Apple Pay randomize the card number when you pay. It’s why my local grocery store refused to switch to contactless payments for so long. They finally gave in and are piloting it on some stores now.

It Follows. It isn’t the best horror movie, but the premise is one of the scariest for me. An entity that is inevitable, and you cannot get away from no matter what you do or where you go. It’s always there, walking towards you.

Asked my boss nonchalantly if they would relocate me. I didn’t expect an easy yes and full support. Then I asked my boss’ boss, and he said yes too. 2 years later, I uprooted my whole life and moved across the world to a new country with my wife. Biggest life changing event I’ve had so far.

“Get off my lawn”, but not in a very bad way. lol. Now that I live in a house, I have to admit I get mildly infuriated when I see people walking across my front lawn or parking right by my driveway. But I don’t confront them or anything, I just stare menacingly behind half closed window blinds where they can’t see me.

Pot meets kettle.

Ginger Ale. 0% caffeine. There’s also sugar-free versions.
