Maybe it's the shit market that I'm applying to, but when I apply for a retail job, they want a fully filled out application (that auto fill always Borks, so I have to type everything in manually) as well as a cover sheet and some places want you to take a personality quiz that you have to pass for hr to even see your application. I couldn't imagine applying to 4 jobs a day, let alone 40.

I imagine we are talking about corporate postings where you just paste a link to LinkedIn and that does most of the work?

Because blue LEDs are a MIRACLE, dammit!

I can't say for sure why. When I got married she just wanted to take one of my names (I have two last names). I'm not famous or anything, so it doesn't carry any clout. Maybe she wanted a fancy sounding hyphenated name too, because she added one of mine to her current one.

I dunno, I worked with a Gen Z aged dude that thought blowing his life savings on a down payment for a new Camaro was a sound investment because it was going to be the last ICE Camaro ever made.

I wanted to go into the points that a new car depreciates the second it leaves the lot, the cost of upkeep between now and the years it would take for the car to POSSIBLY gain value, but I knew they wouldn't listen.

Last time I spoke with him before he was fired he was trying to decide whether it was a better idea to ship his collection of Pokemon cards to California to get professionally graded or to take the trip himself.

Dude definitely took risks. He definitely had some NFTs in his portfolio.

It seems like the generation may be more willing to take risks when safe at home behind a screen.

Won't anyone think of the gun owners that have social anxiety that can't bear to look the guy at the gun shop in the eye and don't have the time to wait for an online order because IVE GOT TO DO IT TONIGHT IF I DON'T DO IT TONIGHT ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN

When Jabba Stops breathing-

Thanks and fixed.

They just traced over the map of Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Ooh, or a really gnarly exploitation film about the hours of horrible treatment Leia goes through when she is captured and leads up to a final scene where she gets to strangle her abuser.

When Jabba stops breathing, so does the film.

I'm thinking along the lines of 'Rosenkrantz and Gildenstern are Dead' where we see only the action, or lack thereof from the point of view of minor supporting characters.

Picture a film that is two hours of R2 and C3P0 wandering the deserts of tattooine before being captured, then the film ends before any action happens.

If I don't get a Star Wars side project that is actually 'written' from the point of view of a lovable but flawed Astro mech/ communication droid duo, I'll do it myself, by jingo!

: realizes that this has probably happened dozens of times in both mass market paperback and slash fiction, but I'm just too scared of what I'll unearth if I look it up:

This calls for 50 milliliters of Victory Gin!

My chicory plantation will finally turn a profit! Wait till Dandelion Dan hears about this!

The outrage should clearly be THAT SHE ISN'T USING A COASTER IT A TRAY AND THAT CHILD COULD EASILY KNOCK OVER THE WINE

'Heaven is a place in Earth' was, in fact, released in 1987 by Belinda Carlisle.

Fueled by cheap Big Mac's, no doubt, though the song neglects to mention them.

Late 90s Chicago, I don't recall this happening much, but I did have a social studies teacher in 7th grade that let kids take their lunch period in her classroom and the AV cart would usually be tuned in to the Maury Provich show.

I watched a VHS dupe my father had made of this so many times. I don't think I've ever seen the proper cover art of it.

'See you later, navigator!'

Everyone that voted for Cheeto Christ has willingly put their teeth to the curb, so SUKBRICK isn't far off.

I love that in Fallout one of the crafting materials you get from breaking down cigarettes is asbestos. Its not true of course, at least I don't think so...
