At the playground today, The Child brought me a bucket full of sand. I examine it before upturning it to make the castle, as I am best-suited to do. Inside the bucket I see a morslet of something unknown so pick it up and, for some reason, squeeze it to check.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
I throw that fucker as far as I can away, startling the Mum I'm otherwise speaking to.
Fairly sure that was a small turd I tested between my fingers. Not my own child's. That would be almost tolerable.
Thank God for wetwipes and Coroinoid times wherein we all carry antibaceterial gel on our person.
It could as well have been just a piece of mud, but I'm not convinced.
- I got the shivers just reading this. Ugh.monospaced
- Could have been an animal log? Where did you throw it? What did the lady say?Fax_Benson
- Shit happens, pal
¯\_(ツ)_/¯OBBTKN - nice prank, good kid :D

I finally made my first domain name sale of the year. The domain name marketplace IMO has dried up. I have had a good run over the past decade buying and selling domain names. It's time to move on, I hope that this NFT craze continues for at least a few years.

Was introduced to a tik-tok challenge trend whatever where you bake a block of feta cheese with a pint of cherry tomatoes and some other herbs and spices. After it's melted stir and add it to pasta. I'm going to grill some chicken thighs and add separately since my 6 year old said he wants to stop eating animals. Trying to find some good vegetarian kid stuff that's not a frozen veggie burger or some crap.
- Explain to your kid that God put animals here for us to eat, and if he doesn't eat enough he'll go to hell. Easier than making two meals.i_monk
- potato tacos (hashed potatoes with taco seasoning) with all the toppings. veggie quesadillas. crispy air fried and spiced tofu cubes with dipping sauceshellie
- I loved any kind of crispy French fried veggie as a kid. I went vegetarian around 10-11. I loved on that stuff.shellie
- tons of noodle dishes are just as satisfying with veggies over meat.shellie

How are your stocks doing?

A friend donated some edibles her brother bought from the 'dark web', then handed over to her, then to us, as he thought they were too strong.
I shaved off barely a side from one of the cubes and had a taste earlier.
By Golly, I think I much prefer edibles to smoking.
- Me too :)_niko
- I haven’t smoked in a year
Been using these https://goddessdeliv…futurefood - My house smells like canabutter & chocolateGuyFawkes
- edibles are great.. only problem is when you feel like a top up, you have to wait an hour and its not always the same.autoflavour
- Yeah, I need to find a trustworthy source (presumably in North America) and get some orders in. Getting the heebiejeebies about smoking now I have a kid. duh.Nairn

Any of you ever turn down a job interview based on Glassdoor reviews of the place? I got an interview invitation with an agency in Berlin today (I still haven't confirmed), but then I decided to look on Glassdoor, and this was at the top of the reviews page:
Then I read the reviews ... 58 in total, the overwhelming majority of them 1 star, filled with tales of bullying, sexism, unpaid overtime, below-average salaries, toxic managing director, burn-out, high turnover, the works.
Normally once should take online reviews with a grain of salt, but I'd never seen anything like this, and I'm seriously considering — even despite my circumstances — turning the interview down.
- Interview with them, and after salutations say "So... what's the story behind your legal action and horrendous reviews on glass door? It almost made me turn...shapesalad
- ...down this interview, what do you have to say?"shapesalad
- Finally when they offer you the job.. say "Well I don't know, considering the online reviews i'm going to need an extra 25% on the salary offer."shapesalad
- I could, but it also doesn't help the one of the trade journals interviewed said MD/CEO a few years ago, and didn't have anything positive to say about them.Continuity
- My gut says run like Hell. Which is precisely what I shall do.Continuity
- Only way to deal with an A-hole work culture is to go in there and be the sweetest jesus forgives you let the light in type of person. Or a bigger a-hole.shapesalad
- Yeah. Well, I'm certainly not moving city for an a-hole work culture. Fuck that.Continuity
- Don't turn down the interview unless it's 3+ hours or some bullshit design challenge. Use the opportunity to practice being honest. Correct their bullshit!********
- How old are the reviews?i_monk
- As recent as this month.Continuity
- What NB said, use it as a practice interview and ask them about it at the end. Unless you have better things to do =)zarkonite
- I agree with NB as well. take it and make them explain. if they still give you an offer you've got their nuts. have them do a a year contract with buyout ifshellie
- ... buyout if they fire you. but caveat you can choose to leave after 6 months. but they have to commit to 2 years. win, win.shellie
- Trust your gut feeling (you know it’s right)SimonFFM
- That environment will damage you, it’s not worth itscarabin
- interview is worth practice and yeah ask them about the reviews :)microkorg
- Take the interview, but use most of your time to have them answer for their horrible reputation. Keep bringing it up, moving the conversation back to that pointmonNom
- bonus points if you bring a binder filled with print-outs of the reviews so you can go over them page by page with them.monNom
- bring receipts!shellie
- In the end, I withdrew. The more I researched online, the more horrific that place sounded. Seriously, I'd never that many consistently bad reviews of a place.Continuity
- Which agency? Just wondering...Longcopylover
- Considering their apparent litigation boner, I think I'd rather not say outright. They have 'mc' in their name, and it's not Saatchi.Continuity
- Did you tell them why?i_monk
- Nope, I politely told them that circumstances have changed and I withdraw my application.Continuity

Things I am waiting patiently for to arrive in the mail:
- Two Aztec death whistles I bought from Etsy.
- The Axel Glade Spade ear cleaning camera device.
- A replacement phone case for the phone case that cracked last week when I dropped my phone.All I really care about is the Aztec death whistle, because I really wanted it before I fly to Texas tomorrow, so I could use it in the bathroom and scare the S out of the passengers.

- Did THAT guy use one on a plane? Thanks for the warning.
https://www.youtube.…mg33 - He probably didn't but planes are not a great place to try new jokes out these days!spl33nidoru

Apparently my terribly-shit knife sharpener does actually do the trick quite well as I inadvertantly sliced the tip of my thumb whilst cooking. One of those papercut-like wounds that's painful and sharp, but if you dab some superglue on it, it becomes no bother.
Except this was a bit deeper and there was a surprising amount of blood coming out of it, so when I added the superglue it formed some weird frozen-geyser like blood red blob. Dissatisfied with this, I elected to start again, so ripped off the superglue and OH FUCKING HELL THAT WAS STUPID, so now I have a 2mm-wide hole in my thumb that no amount of superglue will give me temporary reprieve.
This happened last night, and I've spent all day being constantly reminded of my stupidity whenever I brush my face and beardy stubble fucking stabs deep into a bundle of concentrated nerve endings, or salt or food acids sneak inside and I have an electric shudder that goes up my arm and lights up a bit of my brain somewhere back of north west behind my left eye.
Idiot.
Still, at least my knife sharpener works ok,
