Very typical story of our sex life used to be passionate and full of naughtiness, but that waned after we got married after 6 years of being together. she used to send me nudes, random dirty texts, ideas of what she wants to try in the bedroom next time we are together.

Now? Sex is never mentioned outside of the bedroom. when we do have sex, she doesn't want to do anything remotely exciting non-routine she won't let me go down on her, she does not want to go down on me in spite of that being one of her favorite things to do by her own admission back in the day. she only wants to do missionary I think, and she doesn't want to do any kind of build up or foreplay. she just wants to each of us take our own clothes off, and then me to just go inside her while she's still dry. she doesn't give me an opportunity to get her excited before she's just telling me to put it in.

I've tried talking to her about this, innocently suggesting we sit down and talk about some of the things in the bedroom that we like and don't like and things we may want to try. she initially agreed but as I was talking, I could tell by her body language she was really spacing out and completely over it. I didn't even bother to ask her her thoughts and instead asked her if she wanted to stop talking about it, to which she replied yes.

I'm not really sure what to do here. I'm just tired of trying to do anything different and she shuts it down immediately. stripping naked, me forcing myself inside her while she's still dry and slowly getting lubricated, going for 5 minutes, and then she just tells me to finish is the complete antithesis what I consider to be a healthy sex life. yet, she clearly does not want to talk about it so I'm kind of in a rough spot right now.

I cannot believe how unbelievably horrible Gemini as a replacement for Google assistant is. I tried to use it to set a reminder to call my dad tonight at 7:00 p.m.

"Hey Google, set a reminder for tonight at 7pm"

"Sure, what do you want to be reminded of?"

"To call dad"

*thinks for 10 seconds*

"Calling dad, mobile"

and it called my dad! no you fucking imbecile. How can you not be aware of the conversation that we were just having!? How the fuck did Google release and force this upon us in such a poor working state as to not have the AI understand conversational flow and relating what is being said now to something that I said 15 seconds ago?

I tried it again, this time saying set a reminder to call Dad tonight at 7:00 p.m., and it just bombed out and didn't do anything. I tried it twice more and same result. Google Assistant had absolutely no problem whatsoever with one of the most basic tasks that people could be expected to use their phone assistant for.

I think it will be hard to beat two *Transformers* moments. I don't remember exactly which films they were in, they may have actually both put in the same film but I don't care enough to look up.

The franchise is filled to the brim with egregious product placement but what has to take the cake is after a Bud Light truck crashes and spills Bud Light bottles on the road, the camera lingers for like 2 seconds on a couple of bottles in close up shots. Mark Wahlberg then cracks one open and takes an angry sip.

Stanley tucci is demonstrating the power of some material that can be reshaped into anything and one of the products he chooses to demonstrate is the Pill speaker by Beats by Dre. Come on, fucking seriously? You are demonstrating one of the most incredible scientific discoveries in history and you're choosing to showcase a substandard overpriced portable speaker?

Runner up: Converse product placement in i, Robot. the characters explicitly mention the shoes by name no less than four times and there are close-up shots of Will Smith lacing them up on his feet.

Our ticketing policy is as follows.

If you are experiencing a complete work stoppage, please call the help desk. Otherwise, put a ticket in and the IT department will reach out to you as soon as possible to begin work on your ticket.

Pretty straightforward, but I have four users who continuously attempt to circumvent the policy. They constantly call, direct message us on teams, or physically come to our desk and want help for an issue right then and there for non work-stoppage items. Three of the problem users have been with the company over a year and the fourth one has been with the company ever since I joined 8 years ago.

It's not everyday they are reaching out but it is a regular thing with them. I have repeatedly told each one of these people the same exact thing every single time they try to circumvent. Put a ticket in and we will get to you as soon as we are able to. They say okay and end up putting a ticket in.

Then a week or two later, they do the exact same thing; try to hop to the very front of the line for a non-urgent technical issue. This has gone on far too long and I would like to say something to them about it but I'm not quite sure what I should be saying and how to say it professionally.
