The Random Post Thread

The first 2 that come to mind are fresh baked cookies, and my old neighborhood guitar store. It had the most unique smell. It was a combination of the different woods from the guitars, and the electronics and vinyls from the amps. The place smelled the same when I first walked in as a kid in the late 70's as it did when they closed in 2020. I wish I could get a candle that smelled like that.

Thank fuckin' god! I absolutely lost it this weekend with the "weekend pilots" and their fuckin' little old-timey prop planes. I live within a few miles of like 3 local airports, and I specifically picked a piece of land to build a house that is at the top of a cul-de-sac, way off any main road. So I don't really hear Harleys or trucks much. But those planes are non-stop. And it's always some dickhead with nothing better to do, trying to make a loop-de-loop or something. Go play some golf!
 
Very cool. It takes some groundbreaking (for lack of a better word) people doing stuff like this to really change things.
It might be 25 or 30 years before electric planes are common for commercial travel, but at least it's going the right direction.
 
Reminds me of my cousin. He's always identified as "it"

"Wow, this company really believes in diversity! Two-thirds of the employees pictured on their website are minorities." Yeah, and those two-thirds could very well be fake.

That company's 'About Us' page may be full of fake pictures of 'people' who don't actually exist

A report for Insider by Evan Ratliff found numerous firms putting computer-generated images on their websites to suggest they have more staff.

The reasons appear to make it appear the company is larger than it is. Nothing mentioned about diversity. Is there an affirmative action program for fake employees? Should a company be discriminating against minority fake employees? Fake Lives Matter!

I think channel was jokingly taking it to the next step; if you're using fake employees, why not up the diversity too?

Before I sulk and make a different move, I want to show you how frustrated I am that I can't use this word in our Words With Friends game. Because it would've put me in the lead by one point - something I have a very hard time accomplishing when playing against you!

Haha, there's a bunch of common words it won't let us use, like Jew. I would've thought Cajun was OK, but it's a capitalized word (same with Jew), so maybe that's why. But our games have all been very evenly matched; I'm sure you'll come out ahead at some point.

But then they accept shit like delish, hangry and YOLO. I mean YOLO?? Even if I did recognize it as a real word, it's still an acronym!

Not to mention the litany of 2-letter words for which I have no idea of their meaning or even pronunciation, but over the years I've learned they are legal plays.
 
Qi, pronounced "chee," is the Mandarin word for "air" or "breath" and is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "the circulating life force whose existence and properties are the basis of much Chinese philosophy and medicine." Scrabble and Words With Friends allow foreign words "as long as they appear in English dictionaries."
