    It was once upon a time, called Personnel. It was Personnel since its inception, but then one day, some monsters decided that title had the word “person” in it, and, heh, well… ah, we can’t have employees thinking they are people; they need to know that they are no different from a table, a copy machine or a forklift. So some genius of corporate sadism came up with the term Human Resources, to perfectly articulate the fact that to the corporation, you are simply a resource that is classified as human. That should put an end to all this distracting and unproductive “dignity.”









  • My favorite shows are the shows I can binge over and over and over and they’re still tons of fun, with enough complexity and depth to still reveal something new after dozens of viewings.

    In no particular order:

    The Orville
    Psych
    Community
    Bob’s Burgers
    Archer
    Eureka
    Rick & Morty
    Home Movies
    Warehouse 13
    Joe Pera Talks With You
    Also, my wife and I watch Friends together a lot.

    Honorable mention:
    Continuum
    Gravity Falls
    Roswell (yeah it was from my time)



  • Especially because they tried to shoehorn it in as some kind of scientifically unexplained phenomenon. It’s not unexplained; we have a fairly good understanding of both the genetic predisposition to form families and care for them, as well as the chemistry of oxytocin dopamine and serotonin, and although we don’t know exactly how they work, we know that they facilitate emotional bonds. This doesn’t make love any less precious, but it’s not some trans-dimensional thing that can connect us.

    If only they would have just used quantum locking instead lol.
