The "What's on your mind?" thread

The condition of some roads locally and further out are getting worse with potholes and parts that could turn into potholes (usually they get patched up and once in a blue moon the affected road gets re-surfaced).

It's just as bad over here in the States. I hate them.

Wondering what’s up with Just Cause 3 for PS4. A couple months ago when the internet was out, I couldn’t load the game to even play offline. Eventually, with the internet still down, I could load the game and play it offline.
Now, the internet is down again and I have not been able to get the game to load at all. Most inconvenient.

All of which underscores why dependence upon the internet for one's entertainment sucks.

If you’re going to do it at work, make sure you draw the blinds first. Don’t want any HR complaints

Especially here in PA.....its the surface of the moon around here. Luckily, I know where most of the dangerous potholes are between home and work. Its like a video game driving to and from, trying to avoid them.

It really is a game. The road leading up to our Walmart must have at least 6 potholes and cars zig and zag to avoid them. It's been this way for months but yeah...they're basically moon craters at this point.

It's ridiculous and there is no point to align your car this time of year. Even during my trip to Long Island, I had to avoid a good amount. I try to report them on Waze when/if I can.

Peacock are being buttheads about my payment method so I'm just not going to use them for awhile. May just end up going the way of HBO Max, which I apparently have not had since 2017.

All of the regulars are dependent on the internet at least for the entertainment this forum offers.

It is the dependence upon the internet that sucks, not so much the internet itself. I am just glad that many of my interests do not require internet service, especially as I live in a rural area where the internet is very unreliable.

On the way to Costco, I started thinking about Panda Express. Still came to Costco But now I’m wondering if I’ll get a strawberry sundae with my hot dog combo or go across the street for a couple doughnuts. Hmmm

He is. I've had him over at parties numerous times and he is quite the life of the party. quick witted and great on the dance floor. Boy can he shake it. This may be an unpopular opinion, but Cardboard has the REAL America's ass.

So my coworker and I are getting to know each other. We haven't gone out on a date yet but we're spending some time together after work. I think one of our supervisors at work has taken an interest in her. He is also Indian like her and like me, he has good taste in women lol I don't think he can tell that we're friendly like we are, but I am wondering how awkward it may be if he finds out and he does indeed have an interest in her.

Like sands in an hour glass, these are the days of Civicx's lives.

I smell an audit. Yep. Definitely smells like an audit.

If you figure that out please let me know. I need to know how to do that.

I did that once and HR tried making a complaint. But since I'm above HR, I just fired their ass.

Nope. I've always resisted taking a bunch of random deductions when doing my taxes to avoid raising red flags and kept it simple. Tax preparers are usually done with my returns within 15 minutes it's so simple.

YES! That way you can watch The White Lotus.

The cause of death for actress Michelle Trachtenberg has been ruled “undetermined” by the New York City Medical Examiner, according to an agency spokesperson.

Her family declined an autopsy and because Trachtenberg’s death was not deemed suspicious by law enforcement, the medical examiner’s office honored that request, the spokesperson said.

I’d say dying at 39 is suspicious. She clearly had underlying health issues which required a kidney transplant. You have to respect the family’s wishes but it’s unfortunate we’ll never know what really happened.

Reading this makes me miss Costco as I chose not to renew. Did your location switch to Coke yet?

I have heard good things about The White Lotus.....I have Max as well...guess I should start with season 1 soon? Right now, I am re-watching The Wire....what a great show, especially since it is 20 years old.
