Also, I am just going to say it:

If your CEO is so inconsequential to the success of your company that he can be gunned down in the street like a dog and it has absolutely no impact on your company whatsoever, maybe he doesn't actually need to be paid several hundred times as much as your median employee.

Maybe you could get away with, like, ten to fifteen times and spend the extra tens of millions of dollars you save on something else.

Just thinking out loud.

It’s called the foot-in-the-door method. First, you propose something that is slightly outside of allowable norms: denying gay people wedding cakes on grounds of “religious freedom”. Then, you slowly ramp up how extreme your demands are, coercing the other side to giving a tiny bit of ground each time, until you’ve shifted the entire fucking playing field. Conservatives are also very fond of the door-to-face method, which is demanding something completely outlandish that you know will be refused, and then asking for something less ridiculous by way of compromise, again resulting in a gradual shift in norms until views that were once considered moderate or reasonable become unthinkably liberal by destroying people’s sense of standards. The combination of these methods is called the “foot-in-the-face” method, which sums up where this whole thing is headed quite nicely.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but grief is so much more than just something you experience when someone dies. it’s okay to grief opportunities and time lost. people you used to know. people you used to be. relationships. ways of living. places. your childhood. you can feel grief over so many things and it’s okay and real and seeking help is okay too, you’re not being disrespectful.

Spending time with my love this evening for once. #panaway helps make my muscle aches and pains go away from working and being on my feet so much lately, especially when Robert rubs my feet 😍😍😍 #panaway #panawayoil #youngliving #younglivingessentialoils #livingmybestlife #mylife #healthyrelationships #loveofmylife

For the two years I've owned my house, our backyard has been nothing but dirt, and the occasional mud puddle when it rains. We originally tried planting grass seeds and the dogs destroyed it, but we tried again this summer and I am now proud to say... WE HAVE GRASS!!!!!!! #itsthelittlethingsinlife #itsthelittlethings #happiness

Hatstalls, from JKR via Pottermore

Okay but the Hat was just like, “Sure kid whatever” when Harry requested against Slytherin. What kind of conversation was this?

NO NEVILLE I CAN’T DO THAT YOU HAVE THE HEART OF A LION

THE WIZARD OF OZ WILL GIVE YOU COURAGE NEVILLE

HAKUNA MATATA NEVILLE

DO NOT RECITE THE DEEP MAGIC TO ME NEVILLE I WAS THERE WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN

Okay, I’ve seen this post a couple of times & something just occurred to me.

Harry was pretty 50/50 Gryffindor/Slytherin from what I remember the hat saying (and according to the wiki blurb on hatstalls having a fairly equal split of traits from more than one house is the common cause of them) so when he asked not to be put into Slytherin the hat was fine with taking that preference into account and put him in Gryffindor. (Also the fact that the hat said he could be great and powerful in Slytherin and Harry’s response was pretty much no I don’t want that pretty clearly demonstrates non-Slytherin traits.)

On the other hand, the above doesn’t mention the hat being at all indecisive about where to put Neville. The hat wasn’t going “hmmm this is tough you’re pretty Gryffindor but you’re kind of Hufflepuff too”. It was probably more like “Yep! Gryffindor for sure!” Followed by Neville being all “No I’m totally a Hufflepuff!” and then proceeding to argue with the hat about it for almost 5 minutes. (Which when you think about it is a super Gryffindor thing to do.) By the end the hat was probably like oh my god kid you’re so Gryffindor you’re practically Godric’s heir shut up and get sorted there already!

“You’re practically Godric’s heir!”

As Neville pulls the sword of Gryffindor from the depths of the hat seven years later, the hat must have been so fucking smug. Like “oh yeah kid, this is such a Hufflepuff thing to do. Charge in with a blade and the bare basics of a plan that basically boils down to ‘I trust Harry, kill the snake.’ Helga would TOTALLY have done that. Oh wait! Did I say Helga? I MEANT GRYFFINDOR!”

STEVEN RUSSELL WAS A FUCKING GENIUS.

Originally arrested for Insurance Fraud, he met the love of his life Phillip Morris in prison

He got out before Phillip, so he proceeded to GET PHILLIP OUT OF PRISON

He wanted to give Phillip a glamourous life, so he got a big-name job, and then started embezzling funds

he was arrested and then broke out TWICE MORE and kept busting out

then he was arrested again, and the above happened

while he was on the run from this, he was determined to get Phillip (who was in trouble for harboring him) out of prison so he pretended to be a lawyer and hit up Phillip’s jail 24/7. He tried to get Phillip moved to a prison closer to where he was hiding so he couLD VISIT HIM

AND THEN he made a fake identity and tried to get a 75k loan, and was arrested AGAIN, but he FAKED A HEART ATTACK AND LEFT BEFORE HE WAS EVEN PLACED IN PRISON AGAIN

There’s a movie about his life called “I love you, phillip morris” Starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor

Is he in love with you?

When you start dating, it often takes a while before you can figure out whether he really is as into you as you are to him. Fortunately, each of the zodiac signs has some tell tale behaviors which will clue you in to how he really feels about you.

Aries: Does your Aries guy let you make half of the decisions on where to go, what to do and when to do it? Or does he insist on taking control at all times? When an Aries man is truly in love, he will relinquish some of his need to be the boss.

Taurus: Does your Taurus Man want to know where you are at every minute of the day? If he’s constantly in touch with you, it’s his possessive side coming out. Which could be tricky to handle, but it does show that he really, really cares for you.

Gemini: Can you get a word in edgeways with your Gemini guy? Or do you just listen and nod in approximately the right places? When a Gemini man is in love, he discovers the joys of listening instead of talking. The more he listens to you, the more he loves you. Cancer: Has your Cancer guy taken you home to meet his Mom? Or does he wriggle out of that with a constant supply of ready excuses? If he thinks you’re the one, your Cancer man will want to show you off (and get approval from his folks). Consider it a compliment. Leo: Does your Leo guy show you his vulnerabilities, or is he still portraying himself as Mr Perfect? When a Leo man is in love, his ego and his mask drop, and he reveals his inner insecurities. If your Leo guy asks for your help, you’re onto a winner.

Virgo: Does your Virgo man offer a constant stream of “helpful” suggestions? If he’s trying to improve you, it means he’s smitten. You might find it infuriating, but it’s what Virgo does. If he didn’t love you, he wouldn’t care either way. Libra: Libra guys fall in love at the drop of a hat, and can be very clingy. The key is whether he feels confident enough to let you go. Does your Libra man cope well if you don’t see him for a few days? If so, he trusts you, and that means he’s fallen for you. Scorpio: Does your Scorpio guy ask you join him on his roller coaster of emotions? Is he happy to show you his darker side? Loving a Scorpio means taking the lows with the highs, but if he’s not in love with you he’ll protect himself and won’t open up like this.

Sagittarius: Does your Sagittarius guy run a mile when you mention homes and children, or does he chatter excitedly about the possibilities? Your Sagittarius man doesn’t settle down easily, so if he’s not put off by future thoughts, then he’s probably a keeper. Capricorn: Is your Capricorn man happy to take you to work functions and to socialize with his colleagues? Image and career are everything for this guy, so he won’t risk this if he’s not smitten with you. The more open he is about his work, the more he’s fallen for you. Aquarius: Has your Aquarius guy said the magic words? If he says he loves you, he truly, madly, deeply means it. The Aquarius man is not one to toy with emotions, and he won’t utter this immortal line unless and until he is absolutely driven to by his feelings. Pisces: Does your Pisces guy turn up on time for your dates, or does he forget, or turn up late? He’s not the best organized man on the planet and timekeeping is actually tough for him – so if he’s punctual and present, you can be sure he thinks you’re worth it.
