Who ever said there aren’t still disciples? It’s literally the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20; also Mark 16:15-16).

^(19)Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ^(20)and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

The Bible itself says that no one will know the day or the hour. So yeah, these people are… really something.

I mean, that’s high praise for a vacuum. I would be more concerned if it didn’t.

They’ve actually achieved a higher state of enlightenment by using the superior duodecimal system (a.k.a. base 12).

Gosh dang, I was trying to make that a joke but yours is better than anything I thought of.

OOHHH very true, didn’t think of that. I’ll definitely try to be more considerate next time.

Not a big enough company for the owners to have vacation homes (only like 8 people so they were still very involved in the day-to-day), but one of them was talking about upgrading their riding mower a lot at the time. They were going to spend like 9 grand to cut their mowing time from 3 hours to 1 hour 45 minutes. All I could think was “lol, why not just restore most of that grass to native grassland and never think about it again?”

If I had the perspective then that I do now, I probably would have at least tried to do similar. At the time though I thought it was my dream job and blamed myself for feeling like I wasn’t meeting expectations. My crippling social anxiety (also just depression?) making it darn near impossible to ask for help… well, that didn’t help either.

The funny(?) thing is it was a small company of like 8 people total including the brothers that founded and own it. They’re not mean or totally heartless people either, the owners just don’t have good business sense.

I did my summer internship there during college a couple years earlier and thought everything went fine, but when they let me go they mentioned out of nowhere that “we had a similar concern while you were interning” even though I don’t recall them ever bringing that up with me prior to that very moment. Just weaseling for any justification they could think of for what they knew was a terrible miscalculation on their part, methinks. Oh well, it only put a minor dent in my self-esteem… 😅😑

For real. My last job essentially let me go because my being depressed meant they weren’t confident I could handle the workload of 2.5 people. Of course, they made that out to be my fault. Thanks guys, I’m worse now.

Seriously, you can always just buy more RAM…

^(oh. oh dear me.)

Actually this is a secondary effect, the root cause is that the virus is hijacking your system to mine crypto.
