I'm willing to give you 1 out of 3. No we do not put chocolate on everything. No we do not put ranch on everything, but some unhealthy individuals put it on every vegetable. Yes we deep fry everything and goddamn does it taste good.
What you shouldn't do is start assuming things. It is possible that she doesn't want to talk to you for some reason, but it's also possible that there's something else going on in her life at the moment. What you can do, is offer to talk. Just let her know that you're concerned she hasn't responded in a week and if anything is going on, you're open to talking or lending an ear. If she doesn't want to talk, you can give her some space. Regardless of whether this leads to the end of a relationship or not, it's still the best you can offer in situations like these.
One summer break, I came home from college and needed a job. Previously, I had worked a very cushy job at a video store, but we all know what happened to those. My dad had been working odd jobs at the local race track and said they could use my help. I figured why not, it would certainly be different than the other food service jobs I had in the past. Well let me tell you, it ended up being the absolute worst version of food service I would ever experience. For starters, the company in charge of managing the food stands didn't train me properly before the first race of the season. They would just sort of put me on various tasks that had nothing to do with what would be required on race day like cleaning the booths and inventorying product. So when the first race came, I tried my best but I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't know there was a special procedure for keeping track of ice bags. I didn't know who to go to to get into the coolers to stock drinks when we ran out. Etc etc etc. They weren't happy, but it was the first race, so this time they had me shadow someone for a few small races before the next big one. Well it turns out that the rules are different for small races vs big races. And also there were 3 different tracks to learn where everything is. So shadowing for small races means I was only learning the layout and rules for all races. While all of this was happening, it was summer and things were getting hotter and hotter every day. And of course, big races mean longer hours to boot! So by the time the first big race came around, I still wasn't properly trained, they were getting 130F readings on the racetrack, and I had to work a 13 hour shift. Oh and this was a 3 day event, so all of that back-to-back. I did the first day, I somehow made it out alive and didn't make any major mistakes. I got home, I passed out, I woke up again the next morning to do it again. I got all the way through security and into the stands to start my shift... And then I passed out. Turns out I had heat exhaustion. After that weekend, they gave me my next shift. I was supposed to start next day, but also, I needed a doctor's note to return to work. They knew damn well I couldn't get one that quick. So I said fuck it and just didn't get one and didn't show up. I decided I wasn't going to work that hard for hardly any pay and make myself sick to boot. Only time I've ever been fired, but I suppose it was a mutual firing.
I think Red Letter Media summed it up best. Each movie has a great concept and looks fantastic for the time, but the overall story is not very compelling to larger audiences and therefore needs to build up a cult following post theatre release before they can justify making a new film. Sounds about right to me.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem responded directly to a parody of her in an episode of South Park that targeted the ICE raids, as well as her personally, in August.
“It’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look,” Noem said of the episode on the Glenn Beck Program podcast, per The Guardian. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that. But clearly they can’t – they just pick something petty like that.”
But she's cool with all the jokes about her shooting dogs?
No idea. If home depot sells it, then props. It looks a hell of a lot better and has more detail than the giant skeleton. I suppose it's also possible the owner just spruced it up themselves as well.
Someone in my neighborhood recently put up what I can only describe as a custom life-size statue of the headless horseman on a skeleton horse. It's huge and it's sick as fuck! I'm not typically one that cares for holiday decorations, but that one has my respect.
Honestly, I think if companies were forced to deal with the electronic waste they create, they wouldn't be so chill about bricking devices like this. I really wish there was a law that dictated any electronics you output, you are required to take back. Then maybe we wouldn't have as many situations like this today.
I mostly agree with his take. But I was a bit disappointed when he began to cover using tools to aid art and didn't talk about using AI as a tool to aid art as opposed to simply generating it completely. There are some insane AI tools you can use now that save loads of time and don't take away from your artistic expression.
I have a friend that works for TSA. A few days ago he showed up to work only to find that 27 of his peers decided not to. And considering they won't get back pay, what's the point? People need to feed and house themselves and the government has made it clear in the past that they're not about to treat essential employees as if they're actually essential.
This is why working from home was such a game changer. I could throw a load of laundry in and fold it during a meeting. I could go to the grocery store on my lunch break. I could use the extra 3 hours a day I would normally take commuting to do things like exercise, cook a healthy meal, or just get more sleep. Fuck the healthcare company I work for that insists that in-person interactions are more important than the quality of life I had working from home.
Wow what an old ass meme. I'm pretty sure this image predates the word "meme", social media, and maybe even video players?
