the begats ain't so bad, it's only a couple short bits in the first book, as i recall, which is otherwise one of the best books that i read, with lots of relatively interesting short stories. the worst part in the early first books that i read in their entirety would have to be in exodus, where god spends ages going on and on to moses about the precise details of his dream tent. it feels like it goes on for a hundred pages, and then, a few chapters later, he does it all again.
the title of this post really seems to be advocating for making sure trump wins (or at least for harris losing, which in the US's two party system, amounts to the same thing). though i don't know what it has to do with putin.
I have knowledge. People who disagree with me have beliefs. /s
nah but for real its all the same, innit? it's just a matter of how well supported you think your thoughts/beliefs/knowledges are. if i was drawing that kind of a distinction in my head, wouldn't that mean that i'm thinking things are true that i simultaneously know are false? if i was gonna have 'knowledge' and 'beliefs' rattling in my head as separate things, that seems like me it'd smack of willful self-delusion.
one time, i saw somebody try to sneak by a big truck making a necessarily wide right turn, and get the whole left side of the car sheered off like a pad of butter.
just cause you recognize that you gotta use steam if you wanna make a living, doesn't mean you can't hate steam and wish they didn't have such a monopoly. lots of people use things they hate, just cause that's the meta, y'know?
because they prefer to dream of themselves as billionaires in potentia. it's hard to admit you've been duped, especially when society gives you so many targets to punch down on.
gotta be either the tiny computer i'm typing this on, or the large, sturdy, wooden stick in the corner. if i had to pick to keep just one though, it'd be the phone. a sturdy stick has a million and one uses, but it's also fairly easily replaceable.
my partner showed me this yesterday, and i am slightly embarrassed to admit that i tapped the screen at least five times before i figured something was up, and mostly because she was fucking dying laughing at my expense.
picking a favourite is hard, but In The Tall Grass (2019) is definitely up there, and i never see anyone talk about it. also, Malignant (2021). definitely try to go in blind for that one if you can.
i'm always surprised that most people rank the nun as the worst in the conjuring franchise. i think it's probably my favorite. conjuring 2 is phenomenal too. and they're definitely horror.
from the article it sounds like they aren't getting overtime pay, or any pay at all for the extra work days. instead they've been promised some extra paid days off in the future, but only after their current project ends, and only if they don't get laid off by that point.
nobody should be in a tipped position as anything, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't tip when you know people depend on it to put food on their own table. if i can't afford to tip, i don't eat out. simple as.
i can hate my boss, and the whole system he's a symptom of, and be disappointed at the customers for not showing a bit of solidarity, don't worry.
at the restaurant i work at, we pool tips, and just cause you aren't eating in doesn't mean us in the kitchen worked any less hard on it. in fact, it's more work for me to do to-go orders, but folks seldom tip on them. it is very frustrating to me. had somebody place a $1200 order a couple weeks back, and even split 5 ways, a 15% tip on that order alone would've made it a good day, but i don't think they tipped a single cent.
