I own a VEVOR rig for my racing wheel/pedals. Saw the neighbor with a VEVOR roof rack. Slap VEVOR on a shoe, and Nike is definitely going bankrupt. People love their VEVOR!

I'm seeing VEVOR everywhere. Who is the CEO?

This image proves both evolution from ape to man, and devolution from man to ape. Not seeing any "alpha" in it though. Must have been a tree dweller.

Evil Drip Brew Gang represent!

After trying the alternatives, including unreasonably priced espresso machines, I'll never stop using $15-$20 (USD) 12-cup evil drip brewers. Most efficient way to get coffee in me as quickly and frequently as possible.

Ol' JD rolls up to the pearly gates.

Bible God: So, couches?
JD: You betcha! Bible God: C'mon in, my man!

Just a jizzy awful mess up there.

So glad I outgrew GTA back in the early 00s. I get its an ultra-beloved franchise, but after playing I-IV when they were originally released, I realized the formula never really changed aside from the online multiplayer. The lengthy development cycle on these games also leads to dated tropes and cultural references once the release window hits. I remember dipping my toes into V just to see if it would grab me like IV did. Within the first 2 hours, I was eye rolling and groaning at the dialog and character personalities. Full reign crime spree just doesn't hit quite the same when you can just look outside your window for a comparable experience.

tldr: Unpopular old guy opinion.

Might know I guy who will be stealing this idea.

Maga meat is deported immigrants. Sounds crazy, but wasn't long ago they were telling the world Ohioans were "eating the pets."

He's had to have eaten at least one child post rape, right? I mean, that's his modus operandi.

Also, never met a golfer I could tolerate for more than 20 seconds. Mini golf is where the real ones play.

Casting spells, or maybe that was just me.

Frederick Co VA top user has their information "redacted." Must be targeting minors (16-17 yr olds)

 

Thinking of our little guy this morning as he goes under the knife to appease Bob Barker's ghost.

 

You make $65,000 (USD 🤢) in a dead end career doing nothing but showing up sometimes. Guaranteed employment without change in intensity or salary until retirement in 15 years at age 62. You receive 3 weeks paid vacation, reasonably priced medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401k matched at 2.5%, and virtually unlimited sick days as long as you don't call out too often (>3x month). You are given 6 college credits per semester to use at the local university. You're currently working on a PhD.

You live comfortably and have 1 year's salary saved. Zero dependents.

Do you ride it out, or do you seek a career change before it's too late.

I know, infinite unknown variables, but what would you do regardless?

UPDATE: I'm slightly taken aback by how many of you actually took the time out of your day/evening to reply to my personal crisis. I've think I've replied to everyone, which, in doing so, made this morning surprisingly sunnier. So thanks for that.

Adding some thing I've shared in replies. I'm a homeowner with zero debt aside from a very affordable mortgage. Purchased my car outright new in 2024, had household concerns addressed over past five years (new roof, HVAC systems, sump pump, water heater, shed, remodeled bathrooms), have three degrees, and a lifetime of piss poor fortune.
