It would greatly help out with the white suits if you know what I mean…

Wait, so does conception start at the mission briefing? Or the general’s speech? Asking to inform my local politician.

Is it just 1 pill for one-time use? I need this information to know if I can reuse some of these pill options.

If I had to watch that and then be expected to work the same day/week - everyone’s order is going to fucked up.

If you throw in 5. Scary Movie Marathon, this is literally my Halloween plans. I’m very excited to be hosting myself. And my cats.

So it sounds like this is a profit-driven decision with auteur dramas in general just not being as profitable as action films or films that have some element of action.
Kind of a radical idea, but I always wondered if the movie industry would do better with different pricing models. When people go to the movies nowadays it seems like its just a better deal over all to see something big budget (even though it may not be an especially good storyline). So maybe just so we can get more variety out of it, they price accordingly and see how the market reacts?

- Comment on 66% of Americans say they want extended European-style vacation policies at work 1 year ago:
I’m hearing more and more of the PTO term lately as well but still see some companies that categorize sick days in a separate non-carryover bucket. Vacation days may be a more generational thing that is phasing out I still hear that term from time to time, and then see it in articles such as this one so it’s still out there.

I really hate the term “vacation days.” I’m not going to Disneyland everytime I’m out of the office. Most of the time its stuff like having the HVAC technician over during their 4-hour service call window; taking my family member to have surgery; recovering from the flu/covid; taking a mental health day or catch-up day for weekday-only errands.
This might be where some of the missing 34% are not agreeing for more days. The label is part of the problem. Hell I want more vacation days so that I CAN squeeze an actual vacation in there.

Anecdotal, but it seemed like 80% of the time it was the poorer folks doing this shit. Have a sister with 4 kids, super close to welfare level and her and her kids do this shit (mostly her kids do this and she just lets them). Shes just tired and inattentive all the time. What I’ve noticed gets her attention is when a store clerk or other customer calls them out and shames them.
So public shaming may help the problem, but in today’s world some of these people may turn rabid Mama bear on you.
Side note: My sister has worked years of retail before so no idea how tf she does this.

I find the kind of behavior you’re describing as a sort of non-necessary survival mode behavior. They want to not just get the product they need, they want to get the best darn carton of strawberries in the entire batch. We’re not talking looking over a fee cartons, we’re talking those people that will go through EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. That side of the spectrum. I feel like people who do this might be predisposed to hoarding tendencies.l.or other obsessive disorders. Don’t get me wrong, fk those people, but I really want to believe there’s a reason behind the madness.

Used to work retail so I feel this. Crazy thing is that sometimes it only takes one or two customers (and their gremlin children) to cause this kind of chaos. I’d go into fitting rooms and shit would be thrown all over the floors. Every now and then there would be extra surprises…like food or drink containers, or used diapers, or urine in the wastebasket. Fun times.
- Comment on So much for that dream. 1 year ago:
I honestly don’t think this is a bad idea for the US…for now at least. Right now your typical options for official statements from government leaders are either through (1) politically polarized media like CNN or Fox, (2) paid subscription to better journalism, or (3) social media monopolies like Twitter (X) and Instagram. Can we really not fund something entirely independent of a mega-corporation to get official info out?
