what the gently caress Archie has multiple timelines now? Was there an Age of Apocalypse style event or something?

Maybe Archie is waiting for bigamy to be made legal and announce his proposal to both? I think there was a lot of "Superman Imaginary Stories" type things that started to get churned out in the last 15 years of various types of potential Archie timelines and universes. There's even one where Archie is beset by zombies and has to kill them.

Technical Analysis posted:When I was unemployed it was more the monotony of searching for a job everyday and being bored off my rear end that was the emotional drag. That and still making sure the bills got paid. Yeah...same. For me it was the contradiction between having all the time in the world to do what i wanted and no money to do it with. It was the exact opposite problem I had when I was making really decent money ($50k/yr in 2000 in Atlanta) but I was working 60 - 70 hours a week so I never had time to enjoy the city or make friends. It is an odd feeling and it is loving monotonous trying to find ways to write the same tired cover letter over and over, tailored to whatever it is you think that company is looking for. Another thing I learned during that period was how important it was to have up to date equipment and how, in many ways, you almost needed to HAVE money in the first place just to job seek. It was nearly impossible unless you had a computer, internet connection, printer, etc. Also, knowing people is so very important. I had moved to Atlanta to take that job and hadn't made many friends or connections because all I did was work it seemed. When I moved back to Jacksonville, FL I found a job in two weeks just through word of mouth.

For the rest of you wondering about the Archie Co-CEO penis stuff:quote:as reported in 2011 by TMZ, the lawsuit stated that in 2009, Silberkleit "barged into a meeting, 'pointed to each [attendee] and said, 'PENIS, PENIS, PENIS, PENIS' and then walked out.' Nancy allegedly pulled the same 'penis' stunt again in 2010—but this time she also screamed out, 'My balls hurt.'" http://www.cimino-law.com/blog/2013/12/gender-discrimination-suit-filed-against-co-ceo-of-archie-comics.shtml http://thehairpin.com/2014/01/penis-penis-penis-the-legend-of-nancy-silberkleit

It's a Sonic _decoration_. He's not in the comic. I should point out that Riverdale is literally _in_ the Bronx these days. 255th street or so. Given the location of Archie Publishing, it's pretty sure that is, in fact, Riverdale. It's not very nice anymore. Used to be a bedroom community for people commuting to Manhattan back in the day, though. So the concept of the Punisher coming out actually works pretty well.

Well there's even a newspaper comic version of Archie and they stopped making new strips a few years ago so it still runs as reruns of strips from the 1990s - that get randomly updated to try to not look as dated as they are.

FuzzySkinner posted:I don't think it's that. That doesn't contradict what I said. There's definitely work that can be satisfying on its own. When I volunteer it satisfies me because it's making a positive change in the world. But if I were in a less privileged position I wouldn't have the luxury of doing it as much, if at all. Financial security plays a huge role in my ability to perform unpaid labor. Hard work in and of itself is not evil. My issue is with work extorted from people with the threat of poverty.

If you've got one where you live, hairdresser schools can get you a cheap haircut, or possibly even a free one, because the students need people to practice on. I used to go to the hairdressing school down the street from me for a few years for a haircut for 5 bucks, and never ended up with anything that wasn't presentable. If not a school, like Intel&Sebastian said, maybe Criagslist... There's got to be someone in your town who wants to cut hair for a living... Maybe you can hook up with a hairdresser who needs an interview partner of their own. Many salons require prospective hires to bring in someone for a haircut in front of the boss. You'd get a free cut, and you'd be helping someone else get a job.  I mean, tomorrow is a bit short notice, of course, but maybe next time? You can do it. Unemployment is the worst, but you can pull through.

Yes, if you're despondent and penniless it should be easy for you to cultivate a relationship with an aspiring hairdresser hours before an interview. Common sense solutions.

This is why people need to have good relationships with their barber/stylist. If they know you and don't work for a chain, they will usually give you an interview haircut free or on credit. They know you are good for it and, bonus, have just cemented your absolute loyalty to them. Look your best, go to a nicer place and see if they'll hook you up.

I know it's not stylish, and I know some places will always look down on an applicant with a homemade haircut, but try to get a cheap set of clippers and buzz it yourself*. I did that for a while and it worked out pretty good. I looked "clean cut" rather than unkempt. I know that the price of a cheap set of clippers may be out of reach. But it's a worthwhile investment, if you can. * mileage may vary for the ladies

 I haven't been to a barber in over 20 years! You can get some clippers for around $25, a cheap hand held mirror and then go to town. It takes a few tries to get the hang of it but it's well worth it if you don't mind having short hair.

You don't really need a relationship with anybody for the school suggestion (which is probably your best route if you have transportation). Just call, explain your situation and ask if it's possible to get a free/cheap haircut.

I used to do this while searching for a job, but someone finally suggested to me that a big bald white guy in Mississippi might kind of look like a Nazi to my frequently PoC interviewers. I finally met a hairdresser in a social context, and she agreed to help me out for free. Next interview, I got the job. Maybe a coincidence, but I'm never gonna go shaved again while looking for work.

It's always been there, plus or minus. It's just that it wasn't so much inside the city back then. Go here, http://www.1940snewyork.com/ type in Riverdale in the search box, then click on the photo. You'll see something that looks remarkably like Mr. Lodge's house as the 'Northeast corner of Fieldstone Road and 246th Street'.

Yea there's no 'friendship' required, most schools will take a dude who says 'yo I got an interview for work tomorrow I got no job and no money, can I get some help'. It's not some cabal thing where you have to know the handshake.
