That Oregon Witch

blue-flavored candy is always the best flavor of candy like what the fuck. blue raspberries aren’t even a thing. we’re literally eating the color blue as a flavor and it’s fucking magical.

[thatoregonwitch]

For those who may not know how true this statement really is: we are truly purposely eating 'blue'!

All because of Red No. 2!

Also because there's like not really a ton of very blue fruits but blueberry skin and that is purple once reduced so, candy makers traded a red fruit for blue because marketing

Sauce:

What Even Is Blue Raspberry Anyway?

Blue raspberry definitely isn't found in nature. So... what is it? We look at its very bizarre history.

I can’t stop thinking about this message, so I spent a while trying to isolate just the writing and make it transparent. I might order a shirt with it

Whoever in Clackamas wrote this message on their bus stop, I love you

Just an FYI for those in the US with insurance issues

[teratomarty]

Important information! Insurance coverage decisions are made by medically ignorant bean-counters. Until we can dismantle the whole shitty system, know how to scare them into submission.

Now THIS is magic ✨✨✨🙂🙂🙂

[jehovahhthickness]

I wanna be that CEO that pays their employees 70K a year like that white guy I be seeing all over the Internet. I can’t remember his name.

I’m not gonna be like Jeff Bezos but I do wanna be a multimillionaire 😂😂😂

[jehovahhthickness]

He took a pay cut. I’m not doing all of that. Ima just pay my people well and give top notch benefits.

[jehovahhthickness]

It gets better.

[desperate-acts-of-capitalism]

We are definitely going to talk about this guy on Buisness Desserts

Employees are not costs to be reduced, they are investments, they are assets that appreciate in value

[jehovahhthickness]

Absolutely

[doebunnybooks]

For the person commenting on not taking a pay cut, he HAD to change his lifestyle to be able to afford to pay his employees a living wage. He talked to accountants and they helped him break the numbers down based on data about the cost of living and various factors about the commute, housing issues, etc. All inspired by his best friend going nearly into debt over medical costs meanwhile he had several houses, a jet, and drank champagne daily.

He sold stock, houses, and changed his spending and as a result, his employees were overall happier and the way they worked improved. They all bought more shit and had more kids and did all the consumption people want for us while also enjoying their work and their boss enough to band together and buy him a fucking Tesla as a thank you.

And you know what he realized after taking his pay cut? He didn’t need the champagne or the girls or the “lifestyle” of being a billionaire. He feels fulfilled in his work and with the people he’s surrounded himself with and he feels that he’s made a step in the right direction that other businessmen and billionaires should follow.

Please read the article and his statements on twitter because it’s eye-opening to see that you CAN be successful doing things ethically. 

[stele3]

Update: during the pandemic, Dan Price cut his salary to $0 so that he could keep paying his employees.

[cowboybaedling]

What a lovely man

[the-a-j-universe]

And to be clear.

He was only ever a fraction of a Bezos.

He did this with far less to his name. Bezos could too just as easily. He’s just a bad person, unlike Price.

Geek gatekeeping is a deadly occupation, and NOBODY has to do it.

Learn from the examples of the fallen, fellow nerds. Don’t be that guy.

Sometimes you murder people on the internet.

Sometimes they run into your knife six times.

Poison control may advise diluting the toxin somehow like with water or milk, otherwise do not give them something to drink and take the empty pill bottle/ blister pack with you to the hospital.

[becausewedefinetheworld]

btw just searched it up, US poison control number is 1 800 222 1222

[thatoregonwitch]

As someone who has to take salt pills and electrolytes daily, I will say that you need a doctor's supervision to start taking just straight up salt so don't chug it just to vomit!

If you or your friend really need to vomit, do so with a doctor's help. They know how to do it without a shaker of heart-stopping sodium.

I have a chronic illness where if some random made me puke without my knowledge I could prolapse or rupture my organs. I look normal on the outside too, so good luck guessing which person I am at your next party.

If you do find anyone suffering am overdose, including people with EDS like me, follow these instructions at this link.

TL;DR: Call 911

try to wake the person by calling name, touching hand, or rubbing the sternum with your knuckles.

If they do not wake, check their airway and be sure it is clear.

Roll them into the rescue position on their side before leaving for any reason to prevent choking.

DO NOT make them drink anything including salt water, milk, or otherwise and DO NOT induce vomiting full stop

“Friend? Friend push ball? I push ball. I do good.”

[robotsandfrippary]

Bees.  Smart enough to push a ball, not smart enough to not be fooled by a stick masquerading as a bee.

maybe they know and they’re just being polite

[neil-gaiman]

Other dimensional beings are undoubtedly amazed at what human beings will accept as human beings too. “But it’s just a stick with a person on it.”

#excuse me neil but what the FUCK was that #thanks for that terrifying thought (nooby-banana)

[supreme-leader-stoat]

NEIL WHY. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT.

[neil-gaiman]

This turns up on my dashboard. And I read it and am impressed that someone writes exactly the post that I’d write, without actually reading the name of the person who posted it.

And then I’m puzzled at all the Neil Why’s, and realise that this was me in the Wayback Long-ago.

At least I’m consistent.

And, I should point out, we are no closer to being able to spot the extra-dimensional stick “people” who move unobserved among us.
