Eileen Leahy

- badass and capable hunter, has survived into her 30s having taken on dangerous cases mostly alone her whole life

- has a wicked sense of humour

- cares about people and had a crisis when she thought she’d killed someone even though it wasn’t her fault

- is playful and teases Sam while flirting with him, knowing he likes her back

- is in no way defined by or reduced to a story revolving around her disability by the writers, it’s just a part of her character like her hair colour or accent, so refreshing

- doesn’t bother with unnecessary makeup, heels etc, but wears functional hunter wear and exudes a sense of self confidence just as she is

Of COURSE John Mulaney is the first male comedian to have a good #MeToo joke.

Why are straight people like this why did I have to see this

[unclefather]

Personally, I prefer a paper plate because it’s easier to digest and goes with most meals. The ceramic is too crunchy and I only have a few teeth left to chew it

[jace-the-ace12-deactivated20221]

Plus the ceramic is sharp and easier to get stuck in your teeth

Someone Should Talk To This Principal

[mother-teresa-with-a-dick-deact]

My school used to do this

Fuck them

[nevsky-shit]

Our school used to ask children who were late questions about maths, but those that they can’t answer yet. And then they made kids write down that they don’t know math. My 11yo classmate (who was always great at math) was crying after this.

[kuzuryuu-course]

Oh god, my elementary school was hell.

I remember this one music teacher who, for some reason, REALLY fucking hated autistic kids. I would know, because everyone in my weird therapy group was targeted while everyone else was ignored.

I saw her physically drag a kid out and threaten to get him suspended because he was to scared to dance solo in front of his peers. 

There was also “lunch detention,” and they didn’t fuck around with that. They didn’t isolate the students like that, they fucking shoved them in a separate room and forbade them from sitting together or talking. They slowly brought in several teachers and eventually the principal, and they all, one by one, told us that we were horrible, reprehensible people who would never be successful. 

And you wanna know HOW you got lunch detention? Not finishing your work on time, even if it was a one-time thing.

State sanctioned child abuse

[feels-by-the-foot]

‘Child abuse’ 

Y’all are insane. 

[rainbowloliofjustice]

It may not be child abuse but honestly, some of this shit is fucking insane and harmful to the students than it is helpful. 

[reasonandempathy]

I mean.

It is abuse.

Emotional Abuse is a thing

[critical-of-critical]

How is systematically targeting, publicly shaming and humiliating young children not abuse to some of you??

[beelzeboofo]

Because they’re taught this in school, where you’re also told you should feel safe. They don’t learn that the school system can abuse them too.

The Good Place (2016-2020)

[insomniac-arrest]

brah

[postilionstruckbylightning]

The Good Place’s take on morality is so important to me. It never suggests that being good is easy or straightforward - quite the opposite - but it says, over and over again, that we need to try because we’re all people and we all matter.

Me: wow people used to pay 150 for college? Wish that was my bill

Everyone over the age of 30: yeah but minimum wage was 3.10

Me: okay so it would take about three, four weeks instead of a lifetime?

Them: factor in other stuff like the gas crisis!

Me: 3.10 an hour to 150 is still way better than 10 an hour to 150,000 idk man

[oshifallen]

Me: oh factor in the gas crisis? Five weeks, my bad.

I am a glorified office administrator who understands server hardware why am I the only person in this company who gets what social engineering is?

[ms-demeanor]

Total stranger on the phone who we’ve never spoken to before: I have power of attorney over the CEO of this corporation and we are a customer of yours. Please change the administrator password on the server to XXXXX

My boss, putting on white grease paint and a red wig: Oh, of course! Let’s do it quickly so that you’ll want to keep working with us since you’re going to be making business decisions!

Me: I would sell you to satan for one corn chip and I’m allergic to corn but before you do this maybe you should call someone who is actually on our contact list for our customer and see if they’ve ever heard of this stranger.

My boss, looking through a selection of shoes that honk when you walk: Oh, but she said that it was very important that none of the employees know what was happening because they’re making staffing changes.

Me: As your lawyer I recommend that you just call a single one of our contacts and see if they’ve ever heard of her name.

My boss, shoving all of our technicians into a VW beetle: You’re not my lawyer.

Me: HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW? I COULD BE! YOU SHOULD MAYBE CHECK ON THAT.

[yoursjupiter]

TIL everyone’s employee ID at my company is the last five of their SSN.

Boss: On the bright side, it’s only the last five

Me: YOU CAN COMMIT FRAUD WITH FOUR

Security firms that are hired to check the security of banks will often use the following tactic: They will walk up to the teller in a suit with their ID badge and a clipboard and go:

“Hello I am [name] from [security firm] we’ve been hired to verify the security of the facility I need to see your computers.”

“Erm…I’ll have to verify that with my managers.”

“Congratulations, you have just passed the security verification.” [Scribbles on clipboard] “But in all seriousness I do need to verify your security so I need to see your computers.”

“Oh okay.” AND LETS THEM IN.

“Social engineering” is a way too fancy word for what it is. I know a guy (not personally) who broke several people out of prison by essentially writing “Greetings, please release this person, signed, whoever the judge is” on a piece of paper and faxing it there. Because no one would have a fax machine in their own house I guess.

[closet-keys]

not to derail, but holy shit that praxis
