  • I once had to be in extreme traffic during a commute behind an asshole who tapped the breaks every ten seconds or so. In retrospect, I should have changed lanes or exited and re-entered the highway. I was behind that asshole for like 45m and I was screaming with rage.

    I sold my car and gave up driving after I quit that job. Didn’t drive for 10y. Won’t ever accept a job with a commute again.

    David Cross talked about if you see a crying child and ask why and they say, “that man won’t buy us beer,” the response should be, “ok, I’ll buy you some beer.” Only he said it funnier than I did.

    LET THE CHILDREN DRINK!

    (shut up, it’s sarcasm, I only think they should smoke crack.)







  • “Matt’s war against WP Engine has been polarizing and upsetting for everyone in WordPress, but most of the WP community has been relatively insulated from any real effects. Putting a loyalty test in the form of a checkmark on the WordPress.org login page has brought the conflict directly to every community member and contributor. Matt is not just forcing everyone to take sides, he is actively telling people to consult attorneys to determine whether or not they should check the box,” the anonymous contributor I spoke to told me. “It is also more than just whether or not you agree to a legally dubious statement to log in. A growing number of active, dedicated community members, many who have no connection with WP Engine, have had their WordPress.org accounts completely disabled with no notice or explanation as to why. No one knows who will be banned next or for what… Whatever Matt’s end goal is, his ‘tactics,’ especially this legally and ethically ambiguous checkbox, are causing a lot of confusion and mental anguish to people around the world.”

    This is the sort of behavior that causes irreparable damage to a brand. Psycho.
