There is a time and place for hashtags. They are supposed to be short and readable. #dontdoahashtaglikethis #notproperhashtagusage. Those are hard to read. At a minimum, if you are going to build a long hashtag, use camel casing. #itMakesTheHashTagMoreReadable. If your hashtag is that long, just spell it out as a sentence.
Older folks read the hashtag as the pound symbol. So be careful when starting a hashtag campaign that starts with the pound symbol such as the #MeToo movement. Also, #hashbrowns are delicious.
I understand flip-flops. What I don’t understand is the slides and socks configuration. The point of flip-flops is that they’re easy on/off and keep your feet cool. Slides are easy on/off and keep your feet cool, but socks keep your feet warm. Slides and socks may be comfortable but in my opinion, it’s a sign of giving up. You made the effort of putting on socks but didn’t commit to the entire shoe. It’s like when people wear house shoes and smash down the heels. It’s just plain lazy.
I do not wear slides or flip-flops out in public under any circumstances. My argument is simple. They are terrible for your feet, if you think about it, they are not secure on your foot at all, so your subconscious mind has to do the footwork over time to keep them on. This will put stress on your tendons and ligaments. Plus, you can’t run away from pit bulls. If there is shattered glass in your path while the pit bull is chasing you, the bloody footprints will allow the dog to track you if you manage to hide from him.
Finally, if you must expose your feet to the public, please consider something with a heel strap. Also, clean up your feet and toenails. We don’t enjoy seeing or even smelling what looks like an orange golf ball at the end of your big toe..
Note: It’s Ok if you are a baseball or softball player walking from your automobile to the field when you are about to put on your cleats. But I’d prefer you wear sneakers just in case someone brought a pibble to the ball park.
2 Pieces Brimless Hats for Men Adjustable Docker Casual No Brim Hat Visor-Less Flip Sailor Skullcap
Do you wear your cap with the team logo facing forward or with the logo backward so that people behind know your favorite sports team? Do you ever see a baseball player in the field wear his hat backward? Do you also store your sunglasses on your hat and cover your eyes from the glare of the sun? The answer to the previous question should be no. The bill of the cap is supposed to help block the sun.
At what age did you turn your hat around from the improper backward configuration to the proper direction? For me, it was never because I always wore my hat the correct way. Wearing your hat backward doesn’t make you look cool; it just makes it look like you don’t know how to wear a baseball cap properly. The only person who looks cool is Samuel L. Jackson, who is wearing a Kangol backward.
I hear a lot about humans infringing on animal habitats whenever some new construction is proposed. Excuse me, but we are animals too, they can choose to live with us or just leave. What about our rights as animals?
One of the biggest infringements on animal rights is using A1 or Heinz 57 on a steak. They are tasty just the way they are.
Remember when Disney had the “human trafficking” scene in the popular Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland and Magic Kingdom? Yes, the ride that features pirates. Just look up what real pirates have done in the past. So if you really think about it, the whole ride should be shut down. This scene was removed and replaced with a lady pirate with red hair trying to move Rum to keep the men drunk. However, the war-mongering, torture, arson, thievery, drunkenness, and domestic violence toward men scenes will stay.
Are you the type of driver that backs into a parking spot? If so, then why? Are you saving the hassle later by wedging yourself into a spot while others wait for you to finish your 3-point turn? Are you trying to prove how good of a driver you are with your skill display? Or is the real reason for a quick getaway for a zombie apocalypse or a similar situation?
Why not just find two empty spots and pull through? That way, there’s no backing out or is required. Or maybe you are a defensive driver and want to be safe. That’s probably it. Do you use your side and rearview mirrors, or do you have a backup camera? Which do you prefer?
When you hear someone talk about a restaurant and they say that everything here is homemade, do they actually make the food at their home and then bring it to their restaurant? Why not just serve the food out of their house instead of transporting it to another place? Seems to me they would save a ton of money and not have to reheat everything.
It’s pretty easy to recreate Olive Garden dishes at home. All you have to do is go to your grocer’s freezer section and pick up a selection of Marie Callender’s entrees. Well, actually, Marie’s tastes better.
What are we supposed to do now that the majority of the developed world now has access to clean water and clean air because of fossil fuels? Fossil fuels are cheap, plentiful and because of technology, we’ve made them cleaner than ever. Still, people are freaking out about climate change aka “Global Warming”. Here’s what to do.
Stop using your AC/Heat
Want to stop using fossil fuels? Then don’t heat or cool your house. Each year the planet gets hotter because people are using air conditioning or heating their house because they get cold.
Stop showering
Your sweat will be your shower from not using your HVAC system. Since we have greater access to clean and drinkable water because of fossil fuels, we should now use less.
Stop flushing your toilet
Let it flush automatically buy the natural volume of your excrement. Again forget clean water, treat your house like a porta potty.
Don’t buy groceries
No groceries equals no trash and no landfills, grow all your own food, but only vegetables.
Ride your bike everywhere
Including your trek across America with your family of four. Remember having more than two children effects climate change.
It seems to me that Hollywood wants to turn all of their viewers into a third world country because of climate change. Remember, movies became popular because they were the first to get air conditioning. Maybe if we stop cooling our theaters then our celebrity elite will wake up.
It’s okay to laugh or cry, but how do you properly converse during a movie? Well, you don’t. When you go to a movie, you sit and enjoy the film and do not run your mouth. We are not paying to hear your commentary. If you don’t shut up during a film, you should probably wait until the DVD/Blu-ray/VHS/Laserdisc is released. There are people who are sitting near you that are on the edge of dumping a soda in your lap. Yes, I purchase the option for free refills.
When you take time off do you enjoy yourself or do you worry about what work awaits you when you get back to the office? Do you check your email while you are on vacation? How do you break this habit?
It’s a difficult habit to break in our “connected” world. I only have one mobile phone and I use it for work. I remember a professor of mine complaining about his beeper. He felt like he was a dog on a leash and didn’t like the “chain jerking”.
Here are a few tips that I don’t follow whatsoever.
Remove your work apps
I know it’s a temporary pain to set them back up, but put it on your timesheet as “Admin”. Don’t try to sneak into your email from the web access either. You won’t like what awaits you.
Leave your smartphone at work in a locked drawer
Remember when you were a teenager in the 90s and didn’t have a smartphone and no one bothered you? Yeah me too. Take a trip down memory lane and ditch the smartphone for a week. Your wife and kids will eventually find you.
