@georgetakei It would be cheaper to leave a case of deodorant outside the store each month than to buy those doors and pay employees to operate it.

In 1985, I decided to be a computer programmer instead of a musician.
There were lots of musicians 100 times better than me. But almost no computer programmers.
Both sounded like fun...but I chose...

@georgetakei Only counts if you post pictures of yourself wearing Geordi LaForge sunglasses 😎 :vulcan_hmn_g1:

@georgetakei Am I allowed to bring a bottle of steam ?

@georgetakei As long as it does not steer me toward Substack or Twitter/X, I enjoy your thoughts.

@georgetakei I get the feeling that you have lived though this cycle before, and are not looking forward to doing it again.
I concur.

@georgetakei But they taste bad.

@georgetakei I remember.
Who remembers Blackjack gum ?
I used to chew this stuff in the 1970's

@georgetakei I came to understand that the college experience is not about teaching you what to think, but how to think independently, as an adult.
Some thought of it as an extension of high school social clubs and dynamics.
If you had access and took the right lessons and value from the experience, and have no job, that's on you.

@georgetakei Now let's explain to them the specialized tape decks called "Phone Answering Machines", which was sort of like voicemail, except people actually listened to the messages.

@georgetakei Let's ask Nimarata how she feels about the Caste system in India, maybe that's an easier topic for her to address.

@georgetakei Not Meatloaf, but Catloaf.

@georgetakei He did it all for the cookie.

@georgetakei And it was this language of the Declaration that most enraged the original Seditionists in the 1850's and 1860's.
They did not agree, claimed "it's not in the Constitution"

@craigmaloney I have to say, you have mastered the skill of anticipating unhelpful, value-free responses and discouraging them. Mostly.

@georgetakei If there is a god, and he supports Trump, then I'm definitely with the devil.

@georgetakei We used to call these "priests" but words no longer have a shared meaning.

@georgetakei So I grew up in Medina, OH, basically all of elementary school 2-6. Public schools. Awesome public schools, teachers, and community.
I am disgusted that this guy represents Ohio in any way.

@georgetakei When I was growing up, a beekeeper in my grandmother's neighborhood had built really cool play equipment in his yard, and encouraged neighborhood kids (and parents) to use it.
Until some kid got hurt, sued him, and he had to shut it all down, lost a lot of money and it probably devastated him, just because he built a playground.

@georgetakei The most disturbing part of this story is that Starlink engineers were willing to follow this order. I'm pretty sure I would have refused, and counted on being able to get a new job pretty easily.
