If my employer tried to tell me I'm only getting paid when I'm actively using the equipment instead of the whole time I setting up and transferring materials, I'd have to get in line to set the place on fire
I make people hate me when I play monopoly. I hate the game as much as I hate the system it was originally meant to mock. So every so often, people I know will keep trying to get me to play.
Monopoly Pro Tip: buy everything you can afford, put as many of the little houses you can on it, but don't upgrade to the big pieces. When there are no more small pieces, you can simply bleed everyone dry.
I've had people literally flip boards in anger.
And every time I hear someone say "that's not fair", I respond "I know it's not, But 'what's fair' doesn't matter in capitalism."
Yes, I get a little preachy with it.
But hey, I've almost never been asked to play again by the same person.
I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of "hey you aren't allowed to talk about that" or "you violated a mysterious rule sometime"
Make no mistake, there are plenty of people in positions of power, who could all make sure this doesn't happen.
They aren't. Mostly because they want it to happen (also to own the libs) , or because they don't seem to realize we are in fascism times and think "surely there is a good reason for this"
They are giving it to him.
I keep telling people to let clover grow, and half the stuff that's supposedly bad for their lawn is actually good for a healthy patch of dirt but someone invented a problem so they could sell the solution.
I've actually had landscaping people knock on my door and explain that half my lawn is weeds and they can take care of it for me on a 6 month contract or whatever bs...
Like Bruh my lawn is carefully cultivated to grow all natural native plants, specifically with the intent of boosting local insect and pollinator activity, there's a reason this half-are is the only place you see butterflies.
I'm not about to let some punk in headphones and a "Lastname Lawncare" t-shirt flatten all of this to 1/2in of plain green uniform grass. That's boring as shit. And bad for the environment. And boring. as. shit.
Oooh, nice interrobang.
I've seen this picture several times this week, but until this specific one pointed it out, I hadn't even noticed "for"
"Mister Doctor"?
Strange...
Legitimately, if they're American, the people in HR probably wouldn't even believe you if you told them about what actually happened during the Irish famine, or how England treated them for decades directly leading to "the troubles"
They would assume you're making it up.
I'm not joking
I was more or less taught in school "oh well it was an oopsie-woopsie, all the crops died but England tried to help them! Oh well, such a terrible natural disaster."
I didn't learn about the darker side of things until I read into it outside school.
The US education system is a joke.
THANK YOU!
I always say a fun "bad" movie is often better than a high production value meh movie.
Give me comic book ridiculous Hellboy, not some serious brooding slop.
I want the movie to understand exactly what it is, and lean into it.
Give me Spaceballs. Give me Godzilla. I have seen so many "artsy" films. sometimes I just want to watch a guy punch another guy with a teacup so hard he dies, and scare three other dudes with a can opener.
Sometimes I just want to see a couple normal looking people absolutely wreck a gang of thugs who underestimated their opponent.
And hope if they make sequels, the sequels don't get too full of themselves.
Honestly I don't even think more than 50% of the US realizes there's still an embargo.
That shit should have died with the cold war.

It's Sony, a Japanese company.
Lol. Lmao, even.
Sony cares a bit too much about how people use the things they own that Sony made.
Japan is famous for its laws and customs regarding nudity, sex, porn, accessories, etc... Anything you might expect a stereotypical prude to clutch their pearls over, really. It's simply gasp too obscene!
