Friday the 13th represents an unlucky day in Western superstition, born from a combination of ancient mythology, religious beliefs, and modern pop culture.
Paraskevidekatriaphobia is the intense, irrational fear or anxiety of Friday the 13th. Derived from the Greek words Paraskevi (Friday), dekatria (thirteen), and phobia (fear).
It differs from triskaidekaphobia, which is the fear of the number 13 on any day of the week. The term was created by psychotherapist Dr. Donald Dossey. The superstition combines two traditionally unlucky elements in Western culture - Friday (traditionally associated with Jesus's crucifixion or public hangings) and the number 13 (derived from lore like the 13 guests at the Last Supper).
That's all well and good, but statistical data (such as studies on traffic accidents and fires) show that Friday the 13th is not actually more dangerous than any other day, so - in plain English - get over yourself. Just like most of the shit floating around us these days, it's just more nonsense...

If you had told anyone alive in 2016 that, within a decade, shiting in an electric car would become an acceptable form of left-wing protest, they would question your sanity.
NYU professor Scott Galloway - regarded by many as a 'serious person' - bragged about selling his Tesla because he didn’t like Elon Musk’s tweets. “I sold it, but not before taking a giant dump in the passenger seat,” he said. “True story. Not good for resale value.”
It's fascinating to me how so many people these days are offended by the words of others that are not directly aimed at them. Have we become a nation of pussyhat wearing Mama's boys and girls? Don't answer that...

This is reported to have been in France ten years ago on
Veterans Day. A then-93 year old former American GI (on the right) was introduced (by his Grand-daughter) to one of the Holocost survivors he liberated from a concentration camp while serving with the 6th Armored Division of the US Third Army in 1945. I cry out loud at things like this. God Bless them both.

Florida billionaire attorney John Morgan has a simple rule for employees who want to work from home: They can stay home, but the company gets to watch them. When his law firm introduced that policy, he says 23 workers quit within the first week.
Morgan doesn't seem bothered by the departures. In fact, he believes the resignations prove his point about people who want the freedom of remote work without being held accountable for what they do all day.

Anyway, WTF do these two things have in common - aside from the same exact inane, worthless comments they make? Simple and stupid at the same time - I don't know either of these people, so why the fuck would FB's bullshit algorythms think I'd wanna see them first - and one right after the other? What a waste of precious time that thing is...
