1 week. Assistant Manager for a Spirit Halloween store in Lynnwood in a nearly demolished Guitar Center building. No power. No fire safety. After 1 week, fire marshal stopped our first shipment halfway through unloading. Building was not legally safe to occupy. Regional managers ignored us. We quit.

Probably kindergarten when I overslept naptime, woke up alone in the classroom (it was 1990), so I just sat down with the geometric pattern blocks and made a 2 foot diameter mandala on the floor. When the teacher and classmates came back to the classroom they were like “wtf??????”

Cool so let their company die! The rest of us can pick up a healthy market share based on innovative gameplay and meaningful storytelling. The world does not need Epic Games.

Emotional neglect feels normal when you grow up experiencing it, causing it to go unnoticed by most people. If you developed without having emotions mirrored back to you in a healthy way that helped you sort them, you just end up doing that alone, with no guidance, as a child, which is much worse.

I'm getting real tired of the "my taxes -> government corruption -> billionaire profits" pipeline. 'Trickle down' is so laughable, it was always 'firehose up'

Recently I was at the bar and I told someone I was originally from Alaska, and they said “oh wow, how long have you been living in the United States?”

Mom is a retired nurse who worked in a small town homeless shelter for a bit. The homeless she met said the shelter's limits force them to move. Homeless can use a shelter for a few weeks, but then not for a WHOLE MONTH afterward. So they migrate shelter to shelter until they're in a major city.

Translation: "I had a lot of fun destroying beautiful creativity so I could make hundreds of millions of dollars while the vast majority of creatives working under me suffered irreparable damage, going as far as fracturing entire industries and causing a monumental emptiness in the media landscape."

A woman in a red robe lies face first on the pink brick floor of a bedroom. Behind her is a bed that she has clearly fallen out of. The brick wall of the room has 3 tall golden windows with light softly pouring out. The center window is twice as wide as the others. The windows are framed with tall brown columns. There is also a dresser, a writing table, and two side tables: one with flowers in a vase and the other with a picture frame.

Just making sure that we're all on the same page about how our government and corporate leaders are actively using Israel to launder billions of tax dollars into corporate profits, oppression, international pedophilia, and heinous war crimes

Being apolitical is literally impossible when the issue is "should children be killed." You're either against killing children, or allowing the killing of children. The only thing 'apolitical' means here is that the side was chosen for you, by the people killing children. There's no third option.

I'm learning so much. So if there's a short label like this, would you put the disk in an organizer with the metal side up?

But... the color goes near the edge so you know what set the disk is in when you put it in your Disk File (tm)

After 9/11, Fox News started heavily pumping out fear mongering about not trusting your neighbors, because “there could be a terrorist cell in your back yard!!” All that’s done is create a country full of racist Karens, and a surveillance police state that treats everyone like potential criminals.

well i guess i'm just as confused as you are about why it seems like you're defending a $64 billion dollar megacorporation for being cheap 😅 i'm not blaming the creatives, they're probably just doing their best with an unfair situation compared to the zelda trailer that came out yesterday

sample libraries are only an end-goal if your budget is limited or you're aiming for an aesthetic, but this is not that. nintendo, a company with basically infinite money, is releasing the equivalent of mockup sketch music in this trailer.

Hey Nintendo, using sample libraries is a slap in the face to real orchestra musicians that you obviously have the budget to hire. Do better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUp_...

the title should really be "MAGA's broken clock is right twice a day by some fucking miracle, so even though MAGA is absolute dogshit, she's gonna try to make some healthy progress with the outlying parts of MAGA that aren't totally brainwashed, because she can't legally remove them from power"

Rare sighting tonight driving by my old apartment building and seeing the local elderly security guard guy who, I kid you not, compulsively and quietly flips the bird at literally everything and everyone, even his own thoughts, at all times of day, and everyone just lets him do it.

What happens in adulthood after narcissistic parent/siblings? - Personal needs cause guilt/shame - Under-developed identity - Hypervigilance of others - Internal value comes from social usefulness - Concealing is protective - Love and approval are confused - Healthy connection feels weird/gross
