      I live alone and have a bad habit of verbalizing my thoughts; my worst nightmare is accidentally forgetting to mute myself while saying some inane shit into the call

        I used to do this constantly but I had to break myself out of the habit. On long drives, I’d forget I would have passengers and blurt out half a sentence before realizing.

        It also led my step mother to try and convince my dad I was schizophrenic at the time since I would do it in the house as well when I thought no one was around.

        Mildly annoying since it was just an easy way to think things through, I never saw it as a bad habit.

          I agree that I think it is fine to speak one’s thoughts aloud, but since most(?) people have negative reactions to it I do consider it a bad habit. Fortunately no one has reacted to me doing it as strongly as your step mom to you! Sorry you had to go through that.

    During the beginning of COVID, I was on a group zoom interview, and saw someone hit a bong. I believe the hiring manager didn’t see it, and they got hired.

      Way before COVID I got hired at a bank the same time as another dude who was “off” about one week in we both show up except he was high as a fucking kite. He got escorted out then and there.

      Like wtf my dude you’re here to do a job show some respect!

    The best thing to use is “Magic Tape” to cover your camera. It adds a frosted window effect while not disturbing your screen’s brightness adjustment feature.

      If your computer uses the camera for ambient light sensing instead of a separate sensor, they definitely fucked up building it.

            There’s usually 3 or 4 holes.

            Camera lens, light sensor and microphone.

            I did helpdesk during the pandemic and the number of tickets for “poor microphone quality” was insane. Most people used tape or bandaids to cover the camera… And microphone

              The real reason for shitty microphone quality is using the shitty microphone that comes with your laptop. Get a decent wireless headset with a mute button on it and you can move around your house during meetings while still sounding way better than you would be sitting in front of it using the laptop mic.

            Yes. Usually you have a brightness and sometimes also a proximity sensor. Proximity is usually used for phones so they can deactivate the screen if you hold the phone like an actual phone against your ear.

        I have not had one like that in a while but some cheap models did. Looking at you Toshiba Satellite.

    Bonus points if it’s about 3 feet long like the one the stoner in Cabin in the Woods has.

      Back in the day one of my friends had just the most gigantic glass bong I’ve ever seen. It was too long to smoke and reach the bowl to light by yourself at the same time. Typical use was one person lit, the other person draws, no smoke had reached them yet so the lighter stops, smoker had to empty their lungs then try to clear the whole thing in one go. If there were enough people you could get the bowl going and pass it around the circle fast enough to keep it lit

      I’ve been on the lookout for a convertible travel mug/telescoping bong ever since that movie came out.
