What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time? by Xbeam in c/[email protected]

Tremors

Looks like a B movie, cheesy horror flick.

It's got a great cast with supurb acting. The script is easily one of the tightest ever written. Every line is important to the overall story. And it's just fun to watch.

Someone who is nice to you but rude to the wait staff is not a nice person.

I'm sure she was perfectly lovely to her neighbors. I'm also sure she is normally awful to those she perceives as beneath her.

And Nixion didn't have a public tantrum about it because Nixon had more class and was a better person than Trump.

And I don't mean that in a good way.

Man accused of attacking TV reporter, saying 'This is Trump's America now' by Xbeam in c/[email protected]

This should be a thing. Every time something horrific happens it needs to be labeled as "Trump's America."

And I don't mean things like natural disasters. Increases in hate, poverty, brutality. Things that Trump stands for and causes.

I honestly don't understand why they don't do that all the time.

‘The 401(k) industry owns Congress’: How lawmakers quietly passed a $300 billion windfall to the wealthy by Xbeam in c/[email protected]

If you work for a company that has a 401k then you need to sign up for it. If the company has a match percentage then that is the absolute minimum you should contribute. And when you are younger you should set it up as a Roth so you pay taxes on it now.

This isn't a thing you should do at a certain age. The younger you start the better. The money just comes out of your paycheck, same as taxes.

Overriding or adjusting payment isn't an edge case. The article says the reason they refused was company policy. They had the option and said no.

PSA: Get dog tags with your contact information and make sure your dog always has them on by Xbeam in c/[email protected]

Plus a microchip in case something happens to the tag. That way any vet can identify your dog and get you reunited.

What do overnight shift workers do when the clocks change? by Xbeam in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 102 points 2 years ago

I used to work overnights and that is exactly what happened. In fall you work an extra hour and get an hour of overtime. In spring your shift would be an hour shorter. The company I worked for still paid us that hour so we got paid for an hour we didn't actually work which was nice.
