JollyBoyJohn posted:go to the films at midnight launches I agree with the rest of your post but midnight launches are some of the most fun I’ve ever had at the theater. The enthusiasm everyone has is great, I’ve had fun watching some real turds at that kind of thing. I had fun watching Transformers 2 at that kind of thing. Now that the first showings are 7pm it’s not as fun anymore.

GWBBQ posted:The Star Wars Expanded Universe is just fanfiction that's somehow accepted as canon by the people who understand why George Lucas should not have been allowed to touch that movie franchise after Return of the Jedi but somehow think that we should still care what he says. Look, George Lucas said that the cantina music is a genre called Jizz and you’ve got a lot of nerve coming here and telling me that’s not true

Edgar Allen Ho posted:I'd rather speak quenya than finnish thanks Not enough ääs and öös. The prequels are better than the new trilogy because they had a real vision behind them. It was about Darth Sidious and the fall of the Jedi Order. All the politics stuff is the point, not a boring flaw. The bad acting, directing, and using them for a vehicle to prove what you can do with CGI is too bad.

"Elbow bumps" (even fist bumps honestly) look and feel so awkward that it's better to just never do it and accept we can't touch each other at all until handshakes are safe again.

“Hand shakes are forbidden” is a meme from the dark ages when the transmission modes of SARS‐CoV‐2 were poorly understood and even more poorly publicised. Germ transfer from hand to hand is less concerning that just moving in close enough to make contact. Elbow bumps would only sort of make sense if we had arms like eight feet long. The six foot rule is also kind of magical thinking, but it’s a start.

in holland the rule is 1.5 meters and people treat this as a kind of safe minimum and stand as close as possible to you, instead of just staying away the elbow thing is really stupid and seems to be mostly there to amuse normies

Martin Luther King Jr. has become a straight-up Messianic figure in the eyes of a lot of people who see his assassination as somehow being the sacrificial act that cleansed the nation of the original sin of racism. To the point that I worry the myth has become counter-productive to his goals, both as a social reformer and as an actual reverend. Unfortunately, any argument starting with "here's why MLK needs to be taken down a peg or two," is going to be a non-starter for some obvious reasons and would be immediately co-opted by bad actors.

I work for the non-tech side of a tech company and the upper management has all these proxemics numbers they monitor with cameras in the ceiling and they completely ignore that: 1)Nothing is set up to allow people to stay 6 feet apart And 2)Everyone is constantly walking around so even if you’re six feet apart you’d still be walking through a virus cloud from someone who’s infected.

What's extra weird is that she's an actor. She was in Mad Men (haven't got to her episodes yet) but also House MD, which I saw the episode of being broadcast and then recognized her from that and then there would be a commercial where indeed she is taking a backseat to the rest of the progressive crew who I did not recognize.

Horses for courses but I cannot comprehend anything more opposite to my way of thinking really though I just despise commuting and car ownership sooo much that not having to do that is worth 100 times all the other benefits i'm also a dumbass accounts clerk though so my job is hardly prestigious

The only time you're allowed to truly be yourself is when you're driving down an empty highway at 7am to a job you love. You can crank the stereo, sing your face off, and buttdance like you mean it. It's one of the only things about being an adult that feels like a blessing. It's the weirdos that listen to talk radio or podcasts on long commutes that I worry about. They're always so intense.

People that have a 40 mile commute and have to be at work by 9am but can't avoid the 288 and Beltway 8 interchange OR the Houston Medical center at peak traffic hours. e: The hour of the day doesn't matter. It's the buttdancing and car karaoke without an audience that matter. fizzymercury has a new favorite as of 23:14 on Jan 19, 2021 |

I just moved from right next to the MedCenter when I bought a house. I am so sorry for you. Also working from home owns, and I am only applying to remote positions from here on out. Thankfully, my job is easily done remotely and a huge percentage of my industry was fully remote even before the pandemic! My dog gets to go out whenever she wants, I get to cook for myself instead of buying lunch, my only co-worker is my also WFH home wife who I like chatting with, I don't have to commute. I used to drive 90m each way every day to a job I hated to work with people I only sort of liked and had to either bring lunch or pay for expensive restaurant food every day. WFH is the bee's knees.

I have never worked, and thus cannot conceive a job that you can do from home. Like, is it office work? Computer touching? Is your life like the Office Space movie? What are meetings like, what do they do, the movie made it seem like meetings didn't do anything. A person who drives a tractor, and holds a shovel, I understand those.
