I need a cooking show with these three as the judges. Please.
winning contestant: makes a molé enchilada that is somehow also a functioning bicycle and inexplicably utilizes saltine crackers and marshmallows as ingredients but it works
If you can somehow impress all of them, Gordon Ramsay appears as the final boss

Police vs law enforcement
Look I used to work with tow truck guys and they do not give a fuck. One time the Air Force was doing a recruiting stunt and they decided to bring a plane as like…a prop? I dunno and they parked it in a 20 minute loading zone and 21 minutes later my coworkers IMPOUNDED THE PLANE.
Have you ever had an Air Force general call your office and bitch? He did not expect the tow truck guys.

4 more hours of work *cries in not playing Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty*
Me before I got to work: I think I’m gonna be there till around midnight so once I get home Phantom Liberty will be available.
Me at work: oh wait I’ll be able to leave at 11pm so I can chill and play Phantom Liberty the second it drops.
*boss walks in*
Boss: a co-worker’s kid is suck so you gotta work till 4am
Me: why does the universe hate me and only me
Time to feed unprofessional managers what they’ve been dishing out for far too long.
Couple things here, for when you do this to people:
1. if you get the “answer my call” text, NEVER ANSWER THE CALL.
They are calling you because they want to have the conversation verbally, and be able to lie later about what they said or didn’t say. Force them to continue via text or email- force them to continue the conversation in writing or not at all.
2. “Lack of 2 weeks notice is unprofessional!” or the other version, “Not providing notice is illegal!”
No it isn’t. Neither is true.
And in the US, all states except Montana are “at will” employment (though you may hear an employer refer to it as “right to work” to make it sound better, it’s 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.
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.
3. The only thing I would change in the worker’s interaction here was their response when initially asked to come in.
Employee: “Hey Mark. Sorry I’m unable to cover the shift tonight because I’m studying for my exam tomorrow.”
Don’t give a reason for your lack of availability. It may be tempting to. You may feel rude if you don’t.
DON’T 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.
Boss: “Hey I need you to cover Jasper’s shift tonight.”
Employee: “Sorry, I’m not available.”
And leave it at that.
Do not elaborate.
Do not offer additional information.
When you boss asks you to elaborate, because they will, be polite but firm. “With respect, that’s personal. I’m sorry, but I’m unavailable to cover this shift/work late/come in early/etc.”
Be a broken record- you’re unavailable. That’s the only information they need to know, and it’s the only information they have a LEGAL RIGHT to know.
Please stop giving your bosses information they don’t need to know and don’t get to have, because they’re only going to try and use it to fuck you over later.
My job is HR.
The above is completely accurate.

reading the cnn article that’s like “ummm maybe wga getting what they want isn’t good because what if streaming services start charging more money for less content 🥺👉👈” first of all if the monthly price of netflix doubled and the added price went straight to the writers, sign me up! but you KNOW it’s just Profit Margins™ and that has nothing to do with the writers whatsoever. like

need a bi4bi t4t m/f pairing where the girl is a giant freak and not in the “cute manic pixie” way but in the “unethical experiments in my fucked up laboratory” way and the guy is a golden retriever who thinks he can fix her. and he brings her cute bento lunches and she’s like “bradley shut up put on your fucking gloves and hold this possum down so i can graft these giant grasshopper legs to it”
your brain is unfathomably colossal

sometimes it’s not even “he would not fucking say that”. sometimes it’s “he would not fucking say that. nobody would ever fucking say that. nobody talks like that. have you ever spoken to another human being”

I have received several messages on this matter, so I feel I must clarify: Star Wars has not retconned jizz music to be called jatz. Jatz music already existed in Legends canon, and Max Rebo is still canonically described as a jizz-wailer
joe biden said this at his latest press conference
what i’m getting here is that, if you want to be popular with comics fans, write twelve issues of a solo and then immediately jet. leave the company entirely if you can manage it. get out before they turn on you!
Ideally if possible get that 12 issue run as a single maxi story, use enough continuity that everyone knows you get the characters, and get out before anyone asks you to write the fallout.
“So, to summarize. What you want to do is create a comic that’s daring and innovative while comfortably familiar, priced low enough to be affordable but not so low that the retailers are being screwed and make it salable enough that price doesn’t matter, featuring a lead who is a teen girl white male in his thirties – ideally a revamping of a classic character who’s brand-spanking new – firmly established in continuity that’s never been seen before. At which point the creative team should turn it out intermittently on a monthly basis before quitting a year or two after a six year stint. And be sure to spend a lot of time doing nothing to interest people on computer boards.

This is called the Hero’s Journey!
Wikipedia article (and source of graphic above)
It’s a pattern of storytelling most popularized as a form of analysis by Joseph Campbell in his 1949 book “A Hero of A Thousand Faces.” He called it a ‘monomyth’ originally.
Both movies follow the structure pretty closely. There are additional similarities due to the fact that both movies are about living toys etc but the way the steps are broken down above highlights the hero’s journey of both movies really nicely!
