It's possible to be cool and still do the Santa thing, just don't make such a big deal out of it and don't try so hard to hide the fact that it's actually you getting the gifts

basically if it's a big item the whole family will use like a TV or something, write from Santa on it

Aphex Twin and Die Antwoord are not related like, at all. I saw an Aphex Twin video on MTV when I was young and a picture of the woman from Die Antwoord much later, and somehow forever linked them in my mind.

Also it’s Die Antwoord not Die Antwood.

they sampled an aphex twin song and are big fans

There's a great interview with Peter serafinowicz where he talks about auditioning for Darth maul. George Lucas sat right behind him in the sound booth while he was reading lines, and when Peter asked him for direction, Lucas just said: "you know, evil. make him sound really evil."

It's funny how things from your childhood sneak up on you. Yesterday I realized, out of the blue, that the wave of concern about "latchkey kids" in the late 80s and early 90s was actually conservative anti-feminist rhetoric. "If those drat women would just stay in the kitchen where they belong instead of getting jobs, these kids wouldn't be home alone."

gotta control the narrative early before people start talking about free/subsidised child care

Once water starts boiling there's no point in keeping the stove on high. Your food isn't going to cook any faster than if it's on low/medium. Just going to evaporate the water faster.

My job falls into the guidelines of essential even though we aren't a food or pharmacy warehouse. So I'm coming to work every day and interacting with ltl and tl carriers and their paperwork that has seen who knows how many hands, across who knows how many states and just have to grin and bear it. My bosses who have decided to keep us open are all working from home right now and sending daily emails about how strong we are as a company and how they know we'll do the smart thing and call of if we think we're sick.

Did they relax the no fault attendance point system? Ehhhh if you're confirmed to have corona you won't get any points but you have to be confirmed to have it. Anything else and it's a point a day 10 points is instant termination.

In short, roll out the guillotines because gently caress these people.

I'll have a 4 for 4 no onions please

yea I work in SCS and the poo poo I'm building now is definitely not essential, but the company in general is so they get away with keeping everyone on

I got a nice speech about how everyone should be grateful they're still working and the unemployment office has lines

boss even went so far as to say that they've put up more hand sanitizing stations and that if anyone has any other "crazy" requests to let him know, before catching himself and saying "nevermind, not crazy"

When you internalize enough music theory every song in the past 75 years sounds the same and your choices start looking like prog rock, free jazz, and Tuvan throat singing to hear something different.

Prog rock is upper-middle class white boy angst put to overly complicated music. Animals (an album I absolutely love btw) is about "oh no is there no more to life than just being a successful wage earner? Are we really all just sheep? Are the government pigs?!?"

Yes, yes, and yes, trenchant insight there. Philosophy majors huffing their own farts is a better comparison, as pointed out upthread.

Chevy Chase is clearly a huge rear end in a top hat but definitely way funnier than Steve Martin

I watched an interview from the 70s with Chase on Dick Cavett, and Chase kept looking directly into the camera when speaking and would always glance at the camera after making a joke. I dunno if that was how Cavett's show was supposed to work or if it was just Chase, but he seemed to love it.

Speaking of the Mediterranean, it took a while for it to sink in just how much the greeks colonized the black sea. The golden fleece was in crimea, mithradates was from the black sea, etc.
