From a now-deleted Reddit post:

I stumbled onto this subreddit looking for tips on running a basic Plex server, and holy shit, you people are insane. Instead of finding normal humans, I find complete psychos debating ZFS configurations like they’re discussing fine wine. “Ah yes, this RAIDZ2 has subtle notes of data integrity.” You are all a bunch of sick vitamin D deficient freaks.

Aaron Rodgers’s Jets Tenure Ended In True Jets Fashion:

His mistake (well, his most enduring, anyway) was in thinking that because he was him, he could raise the Titanic with a spoon. He didn’t make the Jets better, they made him worse, and though he tried to turn his legacy into a paper towel by being the humorless contrarian and foe of all things provably true, all he really did was remind us that the Jets are never not going to Jet,

Jimmy Butler is a Toxic Ex:

Butler is not a people pleaser. He’s not for everybody. On the one hand, he strikes me as a no-nonsense guy. On the other hand, he tends to bring about a good deal of nonsense.

I Have Created A Turkey Fiend:

Tuesday morning she posts up, staring intensely at me, swishing the tip of her tail in frustration. She is not meowing. She is locked in. She is furious. I do not think she knows exactly what she’s mad at me for, beyond that I have previously displayed the ability to provide her with turkey, and I am not currently doing that.

In college, me and my roommates were looking for stuff to buy that was cheap and would be filling. We happened upon Stovetop stuffing. Once we made it, we immediately went back out and bought enough for the next 2 weeks and ate it at dinner every night. Thus began a love affair that has never abated. I’ll still crush some Stovetop!

Dude, when I worked for JPMorgan, I remember reading something that chilled me to my core.

The intranet had an article that was something like “A Day in the Life of An Analyst”.

When I was living with my parents after law school, I was forced to help with painting a room. It was mostly me sitting there, not being able to do anything because if I wasn’t paying full attention, I’d get lectured. Eventually, we stopped painting the room actively and dad would paint a little bit after every couple of weeks or a month.

My dad was super proud of how he was able to precisely paint the edges. He’s like, “Maybe I need to do this professionally!” I told him most of his clients would expect a job to be measured in days rather than decades.

I know of a shadowy figure known only as ‘Uncle Cecil’ through my former barber. Uncle Cecil was selling specially programmed Amazon Fire sticks that could get you access to all the legacy cable channels.

I was banned from any dealings with Uncle Cecil by my wife when I first learned of him. But perhaps it’s worth revisiting in this increasingly fractured media landscape.

I was in the Dubai airport in 2006, and they had a kiosk with computers for travelers to use. Saw a dude with 5 Yahoo Messenger windows open, video chatting to various women. I admired his hustle and ability to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously.
