it is insanely funny that he's so mad with fear and decadence that he's deploying missile defense systems to his golfing

Ok, Have you in real life ever seen a bathroom that had its light switch Outside of the bathroom. Not like one of those fancy giant bathrooms where the toilet is in its own little room, but a normal sized bathroom where you could be in there doing your thing and someone Outside could just turn the light off on you?

This is so normal to me

Yeah but it's weird

Maybe? normal though.

Maybe? weird though.

No but I'm pro this being a thing

no and what the fuck why would that be a thing

Other

Button.

Remaining time: 5 hours 45 minutes

In Real life. not in a videogame or movie because I've Only seen it in videogames and a friend has spotted it in a movie.

Like, I don't even read the Romance genre, so I really have no skin in this game, but y'all's grandmas were so much braver. Today's Romance covers are so vanilla that nobody knows what they're even buying.

Meanwhile, there was no mistaking what your grandma was buying when she went up to the cash register.

It would have been more accurate to reality if the girl wasn’t white.

[sew-birb]

The girl was called Marta Cabrera and played by a Cuban-Spanish actress, so I don’t think she was as white as you remember.

[romanirainbow]

People just see non-black POC and go “WHITE!” Don’t they

[captainlordauditor]

Wasn’t there a whole running Thing where all the rich people thought she was from a different country in Latin America. How do you watch that and think the character is white

I'm still amused when I think of last summer when a coworker said, "Oh, bullshit, you are not," when I mentioned that I was 43.

[nizzutoprimo]

[nedlittle]

if i were a respected british actor with any principles at all i would simply not agree to a project whose earnings will have material consequences for trans people but maybe i'm built differently

[nedlittle]

another one bites the dust

[philcollinsenjoyer]

who was arguing with me years ago when i said i sensed they beefed based on no evidence step up. never ever doubt me again

[nizzutoprimo]

reading nonfiction is great except when you're primarily a fiction reader because then when it takes you 3 times as long to read non fic youre like wow this book is great if i spend one more week reading it im burning it all to the ground

idk what neurodivergent young adult needs to hear this but you are NOT supposed to give 100% at your job. I've gotten more promotions and raises since I started giving 40-60%, which my evil CEO uncle informed me is what bosses actually expect when they say 110%. My mental health has improved tremendously. I've spent 2 out of 5 workdays secretly writing my novel for the last 2 years and I've never been more respected and appreciated. Also--when you see glaring wasteful errors in the company's operating systems, say absolutely nothing! Embrace inefficiency. It is your friend in this capitalist hellscape.

[mbrainspaz]

@sparrow-va Seen a lot of people asking this and here's a starter-pack, which others have also added in the comments:

Start on day one. It's almost impossible to scale back if you started out giving 100% —it might be possible though, so don't give up hope.

If you can get away with it, 'waste' roughly half of your time. You can work on a personal project if IT won't clock you, or go for long walks if you can sneak out of the office. I walked 3-4 miles every day when I started my current job. I also walked to Barnes & Noble to sit on the floor and read comics. I've spent a few days just watching TikToks or Fall of Civilizations. If you have Work From Home days, buy a mouse jiggler! (Don't install mouse jiggler software, that shit's traceable.)

If you're still not sure, pay close attention to how much work your worst coworker is doing, and copy that. I bet you it will be 40-60% of what you feel you could easily do, especially if they are 50+.

Never finish anything immediately. If you want to get a project done, knock it out, and then set a reminder to send it at least 2-3 days later. I fuck this one up the most, if I'm honest, 'cause shocking people with how fast I can accomplish things is like a drug.

Remember!!!! Being the fastest and the best will get you NOTHING—except possibly the kind of attention that gets you abused and fired. Promotions for hard work are a myth. It's capitalist propaganda you MUST expunge from your brain. Aim to be the worker your manager expects, not the one they're impressed by—except in a social sense. I got a $2 raise for singing in 3 part harmony with my bosses once.

Survive.
