So apparently someone working on the new King of the Hill has met/ seen me before... or some other weird shit cause this is me with lighter hair. Same body build and the same style of red glasses that I wear most often.

Beer expert/ judge from episode 2 season 14 of King of the Hill. Holding his hand up by his face. Looks like an animated version of OP

Wake up, new meme variation just dropped!

For once, maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding "you're making a scene"

Thinking about this a lot recently.

Article from The Yale Review
Too often these days I find myself in the position of defending someone I think is annoying from someone I know is dangerous.

Hehe fan club... reminds me of Dickens in Doctor Who: "How exactly are you a fan? In what way do you resemble a means of keeping oneself cool?" (In this case, they blow... just like a fan)

Ooh what's in my present‽ Professional Industry collapse. Death of friends and family. Current events. Natural and unnatural disasters on a constant basis. Current events. Political upheaval. Elongated Muskrat. Rising costs of everything but income. Current events, wow that's a lot of current events

Reminds me of that old Tumblr thread about Star Trek humans and warp cores (article about the thread, and most relevant post as image) reactormag.com/the-answer-t...

post text
THE ONLY REASON SCOTTY IS CHIEF ENGINEER INSTEAD OF SOMEONE FROM A SPECIES WITH A HIGHER TECHNOLOGICAL APTITUDE IS BECAUSE EVERYONE FROM THOSE SPECIES TOOK ONE LOOK AT THE ENTERPRISE'S ENGINE ROOM AND RAN AWAY SCREAMING

vulcan science academy: why do you need another warp core
humans: we're going to plug two of them together and see if we go twice as fast
vsa: last time we gave you a warp core you threw it into a sun to see if the sun would go twice as fast
humans: hahaha yeah
humans: it did tho
vsa: IT EXPLODED
humans: it exploded twice as fast

In 2000, Google released a Code of Conduct they expected the company, board members, employees, contractors, etc to follow. Of course this was a different timeline... Wonder what their 2025 Code of Conduct starts with‽

Screenshot of the beginning of Google's 2000 Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct
Preface
"Don't be evil." Googlers generally apply those words to how we serve our users.
But "Don't be evil" is much more than that.
Yes it's about providing our users unbiased access to information, focusing on their needs and giving them the best products and services that we can.
But it's also about doing the right thing more generally -- following the law, acting honorably and treating each other with respect.

The Google Code of Conduct is one of the ways we put "Don't be evil" into practice.
It's built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work at Google wil be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct.
We set the bar that high for practical as well as aspirational reasons: Our commitment to the highest standards helps us hire great people, who then build great products, which in turn attract loyal users.
Trust and mutual respect among employees and users are the foundation of our success, and they are something we need to earn every day.

So please do read the Code, and follow it, always bearing in mind that each of us has a personal responsibility to incorporate, and to encourage other Googlers to incorporate, the principles of the Code into our work.
And if you have a question or ever think that one of your fellow Googlers or the company as a whole may be falling short of our commitment, don't be silent.
We want -- and need -- to hear from you.

Who Must Follow Our Code?

We expect all of our employees and Board members to know and follow the Code.
Failure to do so can result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment.
Moreover, while the Code is specifically written for Google employees and Board members, we expect Google contractors, consultants and others who may be temporarily assigned to perform work or services for Google to follow the Code in connection with their work for us.
F…

Mine isn't as good. But tbh I suspect those 3 I missed I might not have known how to alt-text at the time. Or I clicked too quick so I didn't forget what I was doing.
