I’ve never seen it, but I understand there is some survival show called Naked and Afraid.
Just for fun, I want to make a variant of it called Half Dressed and Mildly Annoyed. It’ll be a bunch of people wearing short shorts and crop tops while baristas mangle their orders or fast food restaurants forget their fries.
I am sure it’ll be a hit.
Not that I’d need it now, but there should be a dating service that only accepts women with no tattoos and no plastic surgery. These days, though, that’d be a very small percentage of women. If I needed it, though, I’d pay a whole lot for it. We’re talking high five figures if I were looking for a relationship. Tattoos in particular for me kill all sexual and other romantic attraction immediately.
What should the criteria for men be there? The same? Doesn’t seem quite commensurate but not sure.
Just use another person you worked with as a reference and leave immediately. I’ve been in this situation before and did exactly that. That bridge is already in full conflagration. Pro tip: if someone is burning you now, they’ll burn you later; the bridge is irrelevant at that point.
A two-week notice is a courtesy, not a requirement (in the US, other countries differ). Get the fuck out. I know American workers have been so crushed they feel like oppression is de rigeur, but at lot of that is like a dog that has been beaten so much it flinches when anyone raises a hand. As someone in the comments said, “Nuke that fucking bridge.”
That’s what I do and it’s never been wrong.
People would trust science and scientists more if they didn’t routinely claim things that are obviously absolute dooftastic horseshit like that there are no differences between generations.
When there are huge, obvious, and persistent differences but you can’t fill out your little Excel spreadsheets right to measure them, the problem is with your spreadsheets. Why that is not clear I haven’t a clue. Some people are inclined to place way too much trust in Excel even when reality is smacking them in the face so hard witnesses are calling domestic violence hotlines.
Struggling with cultural differences at a new job.
This sounds great to me. I don’t like or want casual chatter, and I don’t want to be friends with my colleagues. To the extent that the team I manage engages in this sort of thing, I just ignore it (they can do it if they want, but most don’t). In Slack, I have all the useless “chatter channels” on permanent mute.
I don’t work to make friends, don’t want work friends, and simply do not have time for MBA-type chitchat.
For my minimal social needs, I have plenty of friends outside work. As a commenter pointed out any work “friend” would toss you away like garbage if it was between paying their mortgage and you. It’s always wise to remember that.
The rules about when you’re supposed to refer to someone as “woman,” “girl” or “female” have become too complex to comprehend.
That’s ok. When I’m Galactic Overlord there’ll only be two ways of referring to anyone: Galactic Overlord (that’s me) and disgusting slug (everyone else).
The first ten on today’s playlist:
Y’all goofs who think everything is on Spotify.
One of the best songs ever written on a great album is not there at all. When she was in her prime, Deb Talan was far and away the best living songwriter in the world, no contest.
“She had poems and a plan” and “Where there’s room to be easy” and “I need my place at your table” and “So familiar, this place; I cannot breathe” and “How strange to feel not a stranger” and just the whole damn thing is chock full of brilliant little nuggets like that. A lot of songs I think, I could’ve written that if I’d cared enough and devoted the time. Even songs I like! Many of Deb’s songs, though, I think, Jesus fuck, I never could’ve written that in a million years.
And ain’t even a bit of that on Spotify.
The left’s beliefs about power and relationships is fundamentally authoritarian and anti-human. First, that “power” is the primary axis by which they examine and understand relationships is itself hugely, incalculably destructive and a fatally flawed lens by which to contextualize human connection to begin with. Second, even if understood as primary a power relation (rather than focusing on love and affection), their blind spots mean they only concentrate on areas that are easily quantifiable and publicly available such as age and relative social position, rather than likely more-relevant factors such as intelligence differences, personality, and compatibility of interests and life goals.
But, fundamentally, by examining relationships through the usually purely-fictional analysis of power only, while ignoring more relevant interpersonal and subjective factors, the left mostly misses why and how actual relationships prosper or are dysfunctional.
So, uh, good job I guess. If you like failing in every possible way that you can fail.
McDonald’s Menu, circa 1979:
I remember when it looked like this. I believe they used some variation of this into the late 1980s, though in most places it was tan and not green. That Big Mac for $0.95 would be $4.24 in today’s dollars. In reality, actual Big Mac prices seem to be a bit higher than that in most places.
U.S. didn’t have to drop atomic bombs on Japan to win war.
Truman used the atomic bombs to signal the USSR to back off and that they shouldn’t try to aggressively seize territory or challenge the new US hegemony in the Pacific.
It was an inexcusable real-world demonstration of what the US could do.
The Fat Acceptance bozos really are a terrorist movement. This is going to make so very many children’s lives worse and lead to preventable early deaths.
“But we don’t have good evidence that body size itself causes poor health outcomes.”
This is absolutely 100% scientifically unsupported and a complete lie. She conflates a lot of unrelated items to reach this absolutely wrong conclusion. But hey, it sells books and makes the right people money.
I wonder how much food company payola she got under the table for writing this execrable book? I hate this idiot woman with every fiber of my being and you should too.
What is the most attractive aesthetic or vibe a girl can have?
Since I don’t wanna put a pic of my partner up here or any of my friends for privacy reasons, here’s next best. Misty Day is my Manic Pixie Dream Witch:
I love that aesthetic.
I had to show our developer how to open Chrome Developer Tools.
I’ve had to show a developer how to install a plug-in in Visual Studio, an application they personally used all the time and I use maybe once every five years.
If is as commonly believed men only care abut sex, the world would look much, much different than it does.
That should tell you something.
