Have you tried watching season six at all? I loving hated 5 (and probably half of 4), and I have to say the show manages to redeem itself. They made the Bran story actually interesting! For the first time ever!

5 was bad. 6 had maybe 5 times of actual decent plot and fighting. The few minutes between Brienne and Tormund, Dany torching the khals, Battle of the Bastards, Dany telling off the Masters and torching the fleet, and the end scene with her ships heading off to Westeros.

Everything with Dorne was insanely stupid and a waste. Riverrun was a waste. The entire plot with Arya was pointless and Tyrion was honestly bad, and he's the part of the show you can usually count on to be funny, but in Slaver's Bay he just came off as a jerk with bad memory. And while the CGI was good for the last episode, "rocks fall everyone dies" is a poo poo way to end a bunch of plots at once. And Bran, sorry mate, found him to be the worst part of the show, even worse than Dorne.

The Americans does look good though. Is Sons of Anarchy decent? I heard that the last season blows, but the person who told me that also said the ending of Breaking Bad was horrible.

Sons of Anarchy is one of the worst shows ever made.

But lots of people love it. Like Walking Dead I guess.

I'm always writing new tabletop stuff but none of my friends have the right schedules to play.

I'm freehanding a campaign now and with plans to go back to school and the rest of life I'm quickly losing interest, but luckily my group is big into hack and slash so the latest ruin they're exploring is just a huge excuse to generate combat encounters. They still seem to have fun though, so my problem is ~apathy~. Their last encounter was with a hostile giant that nearly tore them apart, which was a blast because so far they've just steamrolled over some of the nastier things I put together because apparently I can't plan for every contingency, hah

There is like nothing memorable in the first 8 episodes in season 6. Maybe "hold the door" and the tower fight and Al Swearengen. Everything with Arya and the snakes was a waste of time. They wasted Tyrion Lannister the whole year.

I think Season 3 was the damned best. Red Wedding. the Second Sons, the Unsullied, mutiny at Craster's, etc.

Season 6, Tyrion would have been redeemed if GreyWorm had slapped his poo poo at least once.

Yesterday my boss yelled at me for taking a meal break that I was rightfully entitled to, and had approved by another manager, while I was still on break. What's even worse is that he seemed totally fine with it until after I finished eating, when he cornered me and started his spiel with "so here's the thing about labor laws.." then proceeded not only to berate me, but to give me false information about when I was allowed to take breaks. If I wanted to make a big deal of it, I could argue that he owes me an extra hour of pay for interrupting my break and failing to relieve me of all work-related duties.

While I was on break he also berated the bartender and the other manager about some other petty bullshit. The poor new girl who was only on her second day of work was supposed to be training with one of the managers, but was scared to ask either of them for help with anything because they were arguing with each other all night. rear end in a top hat manager also gave her incorrect information on pricing that I had to correct, and told the other manager the kitchen was supposed to close an hour before it actually does.

Basically, my boss was just loud and angry and wrong about everything last night. And he just got promoted to general manager, because he sucks up to the owner and makes everything look good on paper even though we're all miserable.

Today, the assistant manager told me I should probably look for another job. She's probably right.

A really good lead engineer from a company we work with left the project (and company) and his replacement is hoplessly overburdened with all the stuff he now needs to do. I really worry that because of his inability to act on stuff will be really bad for the completion of our project.
So my FWP is that I hate how a lot of companies don't know how to hold on to valuable workers.

The company my mom works for just got bought out. But all the managers have to tell them it's a partnership, not a buyout.

And no one is gonna lose their jobs. They promise.

Buuuuuuuuuut since technology is the wave of the future they want to cut costs. So instead of you calling in to get a replacement fridge, you would use an app and select the fridge you want and pick the delivery day and wait for confirmation (which would be about 24-48 hours) and see, perfect! it's why we can have fully robotic staffed food places too, cause there are never any issues you would need to speak to someone about when replacing a loving appliance.

I should probably look for another job.

I was supposed to work this Sunday, but last night one of the managers cancelled my shift and put someone else on the schedule. I just checked the schedule again to see if any other changes have been made, and it turns out the entire schedule for next week has already been published. I have no shifts on it.

:smith:

On the upside, I have a direct line to one of the C-level executives/investors, who despises the GM, so I can probably get a few people fired on my way out if I'm feeling vindictive.

There was a big fight on the online rpg I am on (with about 10 other people) because one dude decided his character, being so smart, is able to rush into a room, grab the two people inside, throw an explosive over his shoulder to level the exit as they are leaving, then rush out and inspect one of the passed out people AND determine what drug she was dosed with. In the space of one line/turn. The other three people in the scene are pretty pissed but he won't back down so now it's all on hold.

My friend has recently become a beauty blogger and her eyebrows are getting more and more terrible. Like straight up thick, square Instagram brows that don't suit her at all but i don't know how to tell her. Also maybe they do look good and I'm just bad at things like this? Oh god :negative:

Fashion is subjective and they probably look good unless they're tattooed on. She can shape them for the next brow fashion acceptance, and in the meantime you should accept her side-shave cut for how it is, because it does actually look good, but only for a flash in the pan.

Tell her that her eyebrow game is great, support her through it, and let her hit the next cycle of fashion as far as makeup goes. If she's squaring her brows, she needs that more than a half-assed wakeup call from somebody who isn't on her fashion radar. Work through it, not against it. Eyebrow game is as fluctuating as season colors.

I've been cooking a lot of tasty food for the past few months. Today I made some pilaf but apparently it smelled too much like cat food because my cats kept trying to eat it.

I usually go to bed 2-3 hours before this but these stupid fireworks are keeping me awake.
