One of the coolest things to remember is that because prey animals have eyes on the side of their head, they can still see in front of them but they are focused on something when in profile!
every day i ahve to reposition the damn lamp cuz sheâs dead set on sticking her first leaf Right The Fuck In There and i donât want her to burn. but every day i come home from work and she has closed the distance anyway. bestie PLEASE cooperate with me
Couple things here, for when you do this to people:Â
1. if you get the âanswer my callâ text, NEVER ANSWER THE CALL.Â
They are calling you because they want to have the conversation verbally, and be able to lie later about what they said or didnât say. Force them to continue via text or email- force them to continue the conversation in writing or not at all.Â
2. âLack of 2 weeks notice is unprofessional!â or the other version, âNot providing notice is illegal!â
No it isnât. Neither is true.Â
And in the US, all states except Montana are âat willâ employment (though you may hear an employer refer to it as âright to workâ to make it sound better, itâs the same thing). Sure, at-will employment means they can fire you without cause, BUT! It also means that you are not legally required to give a reason for quitting, or to give notice of any kind.Â
Is it polite to give notice when you can? Sure. Do bosses expect it? Absolutely. But that does not make you legally required to provide it.Â
3. The only thing I would change in the workerâs interaction here was their response when initially asked to come in.Â
Employee: âHey Mark. Sorry Iâm unable to cover the shift tonight because Iâm studying for my exam tomorrow.âÂ
Donât give a reason for your lack of availability. It may be tempting to. You may feel rude if you donât.Â
DONâT DO IT.
You do not owe your boss any information about what you do off the clock, and any reason you give will only ever be used against you.Â
Boss: âHey I need you to cover Jasperâs shift tonight.â
Employee: âSorry, Iâm not available.â
And leave it at that.Â
Do not elaborate.Â
Do not offer additional information.Â
When you boss asks you to elaborate, because they will, be polite but firm. âWith respect, thatâs personal. Iâm sorry, but Iâm unavailable to cover this shift/work late/come in early/etc.â
Be a broken record- youâre unavailable. Thatâs the only information they need to know, and itâs the only information they have a LEGAL RIGHT to know.Â
Please stop giving your bosses information they donât need to know and donât get to have, because theyâre only going to try and use it to fuck you over later.Â
He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.
Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.
Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.
And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?
What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.
How Much I Would Trust the People of TF2 at Pools with Me and How Much You Should Trust Them Too
I'm a lifeguard, lifeguard instructor and swim instructor you should definitely trust me
Reblogs are appreciated!!
Scout
6/10
I think he can swim surprisingly well. Like, not any actual stroke but he can stay alive in water.
Going to start splash wars. It's a mess. He will also play chicken with people and cheat while doing so.
Yeah he brings a lot of diving toys. Good luck. Fails to bring goggles and complains about chlorine in his eyes. Bit of a mess innit.
DOES NOT WEAR SUNSCREEN and gets burnt. Badly. He will be complaining about it for DAYS after the fact.
Soldier
5/10
Jane can absolutely swim. Just not... gracefully.
Acts a lot like those dogs that jump on their owners thinking they're drowning and just wants to help.
Will have a cannonball contest only if you say it's in the good of America.
Does enjoy 4th of July pool parties and LOVES flamingo and donut floaties. He and Zhanna like to rest on them together.
Pyro
2/10
Pyro doesn't really like swimming but isn't like, a hater of water.
Pyro would definitely hang out on the side and dip their feet in the water, kicking every now and then.
Usually naps in a lawn chair. Or, if on a beach, they'll build sandcastles and have lots of fun.
Sometimes will rest on a floatie. Likes water wings (water wings aren't safe). Likes sun bathing (plz make them wear sunscreen anyways).
Demoman
8/10
Literal selkie. I'm being so fr. He's a literal sea captain so. Man loves water.
Only reason he's an 8/10 is bc he likes to drink while lounging on the side of the pool and might need to be rescued at one point or another.
BUT he's really fun to play games with. Will jump in and have splash contests just as much as he wants to nap while laying on a floatie.
He will tell you nautical tales and legends from around the world. Great storyteller, and amazing at weaving tales of merfolk.
Heavy
9/10
makes sure everyone is wearing sunscreen and that the sunscreen is reapplied at safe intervals.
Likes to wear sunglasses and lounge around for a bit, but will actually legitimately swim. His breaststroke is actually pretty good. Butterfly is debatable.
He's going to keep tabs on everyone in the pool to make sure they're safe and not drowning.
He will also have a great BBQ. Mans the grill, doesn't let anyone touch it except for Dell, and Zhanna, He will NOT let Jane touch the grill.
Engineer
8/10
This is because he's really not swimming, more so of like, wading in the water with a cold beer in his hand but he's like your cool dad that hangs out and gets a bunch of cool stuff for the pool.
He's the one that buys or makes all the super cool floaties for the pool.
He also has towels and stuff ready for everyone. Does not want ANYONE dripping in the house so please dry off.
He will play his guitar at some point during the night after everyone's had their fun and light a fire for s'more purposes.
Medic
5/10
He's a menace in the pool. Surprisingly nimble in the water but like, a water snake or a shark, not a dolphin. He is not beneficial.
He asked to check the chlorine levels or check himself. Not because he actually cares, but because he wants to gross everyone else out.
He LOVES scaring people when in the water. He will jump up and climb up on you, and make everything hell for you.
If he isn't scaring you in the water and Jeremy isn't trying to drown him, he'll hang around the side of the pool sipping on cocktails and beer sunbathing like a lizard. This, after everyone's hounded him for wearing several layers of sunscreen.
Sniper
7/10
He's also a water dweller. He and Tavish spend a lot of time together talking in the shallow end about little myths and legends, and even have little races.
He's a very good swimmer. HIs fly is good, can't say the same for backstroke.
Water is like one of the only places he's not awkward because it's so comfortable to him. He has quite a few fond memories of his parents hanging around in the pool with him, tossing coins downwards so he could pick them up and even his father teaching him to swim.
He's a 7 out of 10 because he doesn't listen to anyone when they tell him to put more sunscreen on and he doesn't and gets BURNED.
Spy
4/10
He does not get in the water. Wears a speedo and it makes everyone uncomfortable and the balaclava but that's whatever.
He DOES wear sunscreen. Still wants to sun tan and even has a timer so he knows how long each side of him actually gets. Has sunglasses, listens to the music, and generally enjoys his time alone from everyone but also surrounded by them.
This does not stop Jeremy from splashing the ever loving hell out of him. Jeremy makes it a personal mission to mess with him.
He does end up having a water gun and does shoot Jeremy in the face with it MULTIPLE times. Might even raise his score to 10/10 tbh.
Miss Pauling
6/10
Yeah she's not getting in the water unless someone spends quite some time getting her in. She DOES know how to swim, and I think as a teen she was actually a lifeguard! but her relationship with the Administrator overworking her means she doesn't want to do ANYTHING.
I mean, she stays perpetually busy so it's everyone's personal mission to keep her phone away from her and tell the Administrator to bug off and leave her alone. So, when that happens you get her to rest on pool donuts.
She also sunbathes, but doesn't tan at all. She does cover herself in sun screen and wears a cute sun hat.
Her idea of having a nice time at the pool is with some iced tea, a good book, and enjoying the beautiful weather. She gets exactly that, minus Jeremy flirting with her, to which Spy will squirt him in the face again with his water gun.
Saxton Hale
-2/10
It's his pool everyone is using but that man makes everyone sign their soul to get in.
No one actually signs, just uses random google generated names and he can't be BOTHERED to check.
Mags also burns the contracts of anyone who actually signed. She thinks it's ridiculous that Saxton would even do that.
That said, he's not even AT the pool when everyone else is there because he can't be bothered. He wants to punch sharks. Mags will show up in a sun hat and bring a cooler of beer. She's the real 10/10.
The Administrator
-100/10
She does NOT show up. But if you manage to get her in, she hides in the shadows and hisses at the sun like a vampire.
She does NOT stop bothering Miss Pauling. Complains the whole time she's there.
She sneaks out at some point to get drunk somewhere else because everyone here was too 'low class' for her.
I don't like this woman. Stop inviting her to the party.
Zhanna
9/10
She's on the grill with Dell and they're a GREAT team together. She manages to cook everything so perfectly, people prefer her stuff to everyone else's.
She does better cannonballs than Jane. She's also a very graceful swimmer. Probably knows how to do some very basic artistic swimming skills, which she can teach you if you ask.
She likes to sunbathe as well, and likes to read as she does. I think she actually spends a lot of time with Miss Pauling, both of them resting together and enjoying the sun.
She will also drown Jeremy for him being a little shit around everyone else.
this is like the opposite of that "wizard vs artificer" post. the one that goes, like, "oh, you've just been summoning from the plane of water! I thought you had to combine hydrogen and oxygen, that's so much easier".
and I like that. because different methods will work for different people. sometimes you find it easier to start up physics and sometimes you find it easier to tear open the layers of reality.
