i love how loki spends all previous movies going “i deserve to rule. i would be the perfect king.”
and then once he actually becomes king he goes “hmm my first royal decree will be a giant statue of myself looking heroic.” and proceeds to spend his time watching matt damon on stage and sipping wine. you didn’t need to become a king to do that, you useless twink.
Everyone going shopping on Black Friday, be aware of three things:
The retail workers are working 12 hours shifts. We are threatened with losing our jobs if we don’t show up unless we’re dying in the hospital. I had an assistant manager show up with fucking strep because he would’ve been fired otherwise. Yes, he did infect 7 and hospitalize 2 coworkers; who knows how many members of the public he infected.
The stores have, maybe, 5 of that special cheap thing you’re after. Corporate does this on purpose, and stores are not allowed to order enough. The prices aren’t even that much lower. They lie about how expensive something is to fool you into thinking you’re getting a discount. You aren’t.
Most of the workers you will come across will be new hires for the sole purpose of being bodies for about three months before they’re fired. They actually don’t know anything because they’ve been working there for maybe two weeks, and have had no real training. I was once hired at Staples a week before Black Friday and expected to know how to deal with phones, coupons, the online ordering site, and AS400 after five 6-hour shifts. This is the kind of person you will likely be dealing with at Black Friday.
Do me and my retail family a favor and don’t shop Black Friday. Any company that needs a sale day like Black Friday to get their sales out of the red doesn’t deserve to be in business.
This also goes for anyone that works shipment too. We’re suddenly expected to stay as late as they want you to even if they know you don’t have a car and rely on a ride to get you to and from work and know you can’t stay late. Shipment workers will suddenly start getting berated for not getting things done and it is by far the most stressful time to be a shipment worker for any store. Especially when they throw in new hires that don’t know how to process things and are expected to work at the same pace as the people that have worked there for a while.
Retail is shit around the holidays, especially Black Friday
ok fellow millenials, it’s time to kill black friday
I continue to see people angry that it’s being pointed out that thanksgiving was created to celebrate the murder of Native Americans. I continue to see comments about how y’all are still going to stuff your faces and celebrate.
Nobody said you had to stop using the day to give thanks, spend time with family, and stuff your face. We only ask that you acknowledge the true meaning of the holiday and those of us who have to face a different truth. We only ask that you acknowledge respect us and our truth and sufffering.
It’s very telling when non-natives are more concerned about whether it’s still appropriate to stuff their face than they are about our continued suffering.
i really love our generation’s joke trend of like, very calm but incredibly inflated hyperbole. like nobody says “oh she’s pretty” anymore we say “i would willingly let her murder me” and everyone is just like “lol same”
i think “same” is also great and “me,” i love when somebody reblogs a picture of like, a lizard, and just says “me” and we all know exactly what they mean. the current online Humor Discourse is remarkable because we trade exclusively in metaphors and implications and nobody ever, ever says anything outright and yet EVERYBODY understands each other perfectly
This reminds me of the time when I was on vacation with my family and we were hiking, and after using a rest stop, the conversation turned to the grossness of outhouses and port-a-potties, and I said that if I ever got splashback from a port-a-potty, “my soul would depart my body.” My parents found that hilarious, and my dad commented that my generation can be so clever with words bc he would only think to say something like “It would be disgusting” which doesn’t convey the sentiment nearly as well as “my soul would depart my body.”
I find this so intriguing because it opens up so many possibilities for future writers to connect with their readers.
Does that mean we’re literally “Darmok and Jalad”-ing language? We speak in stories and references and memes, never saying what’s actually going on, just making reference to other things.
The purging and subsequent return of @enecoo strongly parallels the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. In this essay I will
I’ve seen this post fly around a bit and I guess I should express my feelings.
I know that you all look up on me and have a very positive view, but there are some things that I think I need to let you all know
1. Personally, I don’t wish to be viewed in an extremely high manner. I commit mistakes and I am only trying to improve myself no matter how minor or major that mistake may be. I hold on to a positive policy, because I find it to be a much healthier alternative from a psychological perspective. With that said, this form of glorification can be taken to such an extent where I find it to be uncomfortable. Such as exalting me with divinity and infallibility. I am just like you guys. I wish that would stop.
2. Jesus (as) is Jewish, so I think it’s important to understand that his Jewishness should not be taken from him, whether jokingly or not. In fact, we Muslims do see him as Jewish.
3. It can be mildly uncomfortable if I’m compared to these holy personalities, since I hold them in high regards myself, so from a Muslim PoV, it’s better to abstain from it.
