I just was rejected from 5 jobs in a row. I straight up asked how I could have been a more competitive candidate. I got some specific feedback about software I didn’t know (fair), an answer on a questionnaire that was milquetoast (also fair), but mostly kind things said. They’re not going to drag you but it can be a productive conversation.

“Nowadays” ? Boy let me tell you of the proto-memes in the days of the early internet.

Tl;dr: Everybody be snarky since forever.

It was gross back then too. In the 90s the Coasties would trawl the junior high girls. 25 year old men “dating” 13 year olds. We all knew it was gross as fuck and not okay but small town cops didn’t give a fuck. Hell there was a deputy “dating” a 16 year old too.

It wasn’t looked at differently in the 90s.

A guy in my class knocked up a 14 year old during senior year and we basically all stopped talking to him because fucking ew, dude.

Look, it was the 80s/90s. We had one TV. My parents were not going to watch kid shit during their down time so we watched whatever they felt like watching. Thus, I have too many to list here.

But for context apparently Alien and Aliens made me squeaky and giggly/happy as a baby. To this day I sometimes have bizarrely detailed dreams with xenomorph subplots.

Whaaaaa? That’s crazy. I use to read it on the reg years ago but fell off long before the June exodus. Has this always been the case? I feel like this maybe wasn’t the case back in the heydey (Tree Law!) but IANAL and was there for the entertainment.

This prompt is bizarre and seeems written by a male 14-39.

I think I’m going with the short kings as long as the 10k is enough to protect me from them. They did consent to the escort mission and I think 10k is enough of a motivation to keep someone cooperative for a few hours. Plus I’m short too so I wouldn’t have to hear any talls bitching about pace.

I feel like the soldiers outside of their time might have too much issue coming to terms with modernity.

Also I think the group of women would absolutely be able to defend themselves but I don’t want to inflict this stress on a group of random women. Although they did consent and I’m assuming gave informed consent. Plenty probably said no, so the ones that said yes are feeling bold about it.

Fuck it, I change my mind I’m going with the gaggle of sassy ladies.

They’d all have each other’s back and are used to being on high alert. Probably pretty scrappy too. There’s no city I can think of that has 10 whole miles of "bad’ so really it would be just isolated pockets of heightened danger and a long walk otherwise.

Plus there’s way less of a chance of them turning on me.

Not exactly the prompt but I used to be hung up on The Boy in the Box mystery but I’m happy to report his identity has been found. His name was Joseph Augustus Zarelli.

The fern room at the Como Zoo Conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota. Just brief walkthrough a few times but I wish I could live there.

Looks simple enough to sew. I bet you could find someone or DIY it. Don’t forget the hair rat to get that volume in the front.

I have to make about 5 - 7 phone calls for important shit in my life. I am actively suffering for not having made these calls. It’s getting worse.

All I can do is hope that I will wake up one day and I’ll feel okay enough to make one of the phone calls. It happens every once in a while, I swear.

Just have to wait…

They’re the freaking worst and I wish I could hire an assistant to make calls for me.

Notably, the campaign says what Arlington is claiming are lies and they have the footage to prove it.

They also declined to provide the footage.

🙄

I wonder if micro dosing can give the same effects? I am a control freak and don’t like to be high but worry about cognitive decline. Especially since I got long covid and fucked up my olfactory system. Brain damage sucks.

So does the US on the West Coast.

The committee recently pulled the plug on the Anthropocene unfortunately. It was never official and they just rejected it this year.

This would have been torture for me as a kid. Or I would have immediately passed out.

Good for them though.

As the article states this is bullshit and who knows what the person who denied her passport was thinking.

I’ve met someone whose legal name was Pepsi and she was able to get regular government documents without contacting PepsiCo.

It’s unfortunate this mom had to go to a lawyer for this crap.

Lol good catch. It was totally on purpose and not swipe being swipe. Yep.

This is the modem equivalent format for an ancient dirty joke. Back in the day kids you could find collections of them in printed books, and later, entire websites solely dedicated to hosting thousands of dirty jokes. They were presented in story format, often happening to your cousin’s friend.

Not saying no one had ever had this happen to them in the history of mankind. But this is also an old dirty joke that is probably more commonly repeated than acted out.

It’s pretty good. The visuals are iconic and it has some captivating moments. I personally didn’t enjoy Walken as the horseman as much. I think the costume design for him was just okay and because he’s so recognizable it takes me out of the movie a bit. Yes I acknowledge the rest of the cast is full of stars, perhaps I can’t articulate why I’m offput by the horseman. I think the teeth look silly rather than menacing.

I liked the story tweaks and I think the mystery was paced out nicely.

The term and reference were in colloquial use long before the website.
