  • Plotnick, an associate professor of cinema and media studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, is the leading expert on buttons and how people interact with them.

    I like that being a leading expert on buttons is a profession that exists in this world. You go Rachel Plotnick.

    Robert Downey Jr Speaks Out About Elon Musk "Cosplay" Of Tony Stark-The Tech Billionaire

    Jump

  • His cameo in the 2nd Iron Man movie always felt so cringey to me. I don't know how it came about, but I like to imagine Musk asked the production for the role. It is so clear to me that he desperately wants to be seen as the man who will single handedly save the world. His companies do incredibly impressive things, I cannot discredit the work of SpaceX, but the more he speaks, the more I am convinced that he is just an egomaniac cosplaying as a genius.

  • What is your pet peeve in 2024?

    Jump

  • People on their phones while driving. Aside from the danger it poses, I have been stuck at a light behind someone who is obviously scrolling on their phone and then doesn't realize the light has turned green. Sometime this lasts for 10-20 seconds, which is a lifetime when trying to efficiently move through a series of stop lights. I'm not an aggressive horn honker, and I feel like an asshole if I have to use it. But if you are fucking with the flow of traffic you deserve it.

  • US airlines required to automatically refund you for canceled flight

    Jump

  • I'm not sure how the law will pan out because of this. While it is beneficial, and airlines are financially held accountable, being reimbursed the price you paid for your ticket will not be enough to get you on the next available flight to wherever you were going. Depending on when the flight is canceled.

  • Very accurate, too. I also sleep in beautifully draped linen on a bed of fine red silks. As I'm sure most of us do.

  • dear introverts, what can I answer to a needy and clingy coworker who believes not talking means something's wrong (with me), so he leaves me alone?

    Jump

  • This is the best answer. Not that you even owe them this much of an explanation. But it provides enough detail to satisfy them and succinctly tells them in corporate language to fuck right off.

    Jump

  • I know several people in the same situation as your dad. The whole industry is a mess, and the older generations certainly glorify working through important milestones just to brag about providing for their family. For the most part, the younger "kids" in the industry are a lot more aware of family dynamics and the importance of relationships over bank account balances. I think we will have to reach a breaking point for things to truly change, and who knows what that will mean for the economy and vital infrastructure that needs to be maintained. I'm an optimist, so I assume we could find a better solution that suits more people.

    Cobb county employees came to my polling center dressed as "ghosts" during Early voting

    Jump

  • I think for the chronically online crowd, it seems more obvious that this is an ill-advised attempt at being socially relevant. I would have quickly assumed it was a bunch of kids filming themselves voting so they can put the "Here's falling down at the party" song in the background.

    But it's easy to forget that a lot of people are not on social media or very little of what is trending trickles down to them. In that case, the ghost outfits have to be taken in the context of a GA poll location...so the white sheets aren't great. But it still looks like a ghost and not a klansman. If that was someone attempt at intidimation it would be pretty laughable.

  • What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?

    Jump

  • I didn't know anyone else did this. I was just snacking on some bucatini. I recommend it! Long thin tubes of pasta that break up easily and have no risk of sharp bits.

    I think it is a result of growing up in an "ingredient household". We did not stock snacks, and I was always too lazy to make a meal.

  • Trump vows to deport millions. Builders say it would drain their crews and drive up home costs.

    Jump

  • I'm not saying it's a good thing. And it's easy to say no one should work that hard. I work building emergency bridges on FEMA projects. I assure you it is work worth doing. I personally don't think I have a toxic mindset about the grind. It's hard work with good pay, and I find it satisfying. I have spoken to many of my friends who are looking to make more money, and none of them have wanted to give construction a shot. Although I am a woman and therefore most of my friends are women. I understand their aversion to working in a potentially toxic environment. I don't begrudge them or think they should work as much as I do.

    I was responding to the original comment to demonstrate that higher pay exists in construction. It is mostly private construction that does not pay well and keeps the profits solely in the owners pockets.

  • Trump vows to deport millions. Builders say it would drain their crews and drive up home costs.

    Jump

  • The great pay exists in some construction sectors. State and Federal work have "wage rates" where laborers, carpenters, operators etc. have a mandatory wage and benefits. On a job I am currently on the laborers are earning $64/hr and our company is having a problem with staffing. Plenty of people want the pay, but as mentioned before, it is really tough work, and the deadlines mean that you can't fuck the dog. That being said, this work is limited to citizens and monitored closely. I know it is cliche to say "no one wants to work anymore" but as a 30 year old I am one of very few young people I work with. I get it, the work is brutal and you have no energy to have a work life balance at the end of the day.

  • Copy of US Constitution found in filing cabinet sells for $9m

    Jump

  • This is the reason why I always open every drawer and try to get a look at everything whenever I see an antique. Such a cool piece of history to hold in your hands. I once found a very old world map in a school teachers' box of modern-day maps. Spent $70 on the lot, but the old map was worth ~$800. It is nothing compared to the Constitution, but these things are out there. Just waiting for someone to stumble upon.
