Get hired, show up, join union, walk out.

They’re in cahoots with the frogs.
Me, upon seeing the response: Hahahaha! Man that was fast. Dude always has the perfect reply ready.
5 minutes later: tries to squint through Klingon makeup 🤔
One trip to IMDB and Memory Alpha later: …holy shit.
The next day: I should post a reply.
Now: We’re in now now.
Me, before clicking the link (because kbin doesn’t handle inline thumbnails well): If that’s the entry for “twelve cloaking warbirds” I swear…
Next headline: “The economy is doing super duper awesomesauce but Americans keep saying shit’s fucked: Economists baffled”
I’d also spend a month researching the exact perfect router
Every time I do this I come away disgusted with how trash most technology is and just how awful manufacturers are willing to make the experience just to get those precious data harvesting bucks. See also: this thread. Womp womp.
It’s always “on paid leave” and never “on fire.”
Seconded, and same for thumbnails while scrolling. In gif-heavy communities it just bogs things down.
You know what worked for me? Getting passably good at singing the Bowie parts. It’s like the parts that want to get stuck are in opposition with the Bowie parts and there’s some mental tussling then suddenly the song is over and you’re free.
It also works well at confusing the shit out of people at parties who all want to sing along yet seemingly never got the memo that the song is a duet.
Oh, no mockery intended on my part. I was just trying to make sure all of the elements got equal representation.
Me: watches TNG episode
Risa: memes that exact episode

Congrats! It’s good to see some Zelda II love. It took me years to beat this as a kid, and you bet your ass I got some tips from Nintendo Power lol. To this day it’s still one of my favorite NES games.
Meanwhile, modern Wendy’s is all, “Here’s three patties on a greasy bun slathered in ketchup/mustard/mayo, and if you manage to take a bite it’s all gonna come sliding out the other side like bloody pus. Comes with bacon as an option, too. Don’t forget your quart of sugar water.”
It’s always “on paid leave” and never “on fire.”
I worked in a “datacenter” where the humidifier function for the HVAC unit was turned off because it leaked under the floor into an adjoining office when it was trying to humidify. Management refused to fix the unit due to the cost, and saw no issue with running the room with relative humidity in the teens all winter. Madness.
You jest, but she gives a wicked purple nurple.
The millions of people that get infected with one or more of the above but not diagnosed:
“Man, I had a really bad cold. Felt awful. Had to go to work though, was out of sick days and the boss couldn’t/wouldn’t find other coverage.”
If they were president, they’d be Swimmy Carter.
It’s easier to bamboozle someone than to convince them they’ve been bamboozled.
