Our office I’m actually going to give them props for this - they do these events during work hours. Summer bbq? Close office 4 hrs early and it’s free drinks and food for everyone. Annual golf event? Tuesday at noon, you can work or you can golf, your call.

Granted I’m too busy to partake for the most part but I’m not a clock puncher, and if I was, I’d appreciate the effort.

quietly? It’s loud as fuck.

The world is, loudly, starting to become a little too much like the first quarter of the last century. And it isn’t good, man.

I mean, it sounds like he has a point? Perhaps another judge should sentence him to prison instead, just so they don’t have grounds for an appeal on this.

started reading, waiting for the examples of before and after a script went through the process. Started skimming looking for it. Not a word? Wow.

It’s bad, ie rents keep rising, groceries keep rising, gas keeps going up. Average wages don’t. But at the same time we have lots of people with plenty of money, moms with time to walk their kids to the parks on a Tuesday afternoon… Plenty of people are making plenty of money. It’s just that if you aren’t one of those it’s pretty difficult.

Younger peeps are just living with roommates or shacking up to make it work. But they aren’t living in vans en mass, or something.

For the past 6 months, every Monday I get 5 40% off Uber Eats food deliveries. By spending $40 on this, I find myself having dinner for us, and leftovers for someone’s lunch, for not a whole lot less than cooking our own. For instance I roasted a chicken the other day, I made a caesar salad, with all the fixings. The chicken was what 11 bucks the salad stuff was another eight for the lettuce and the dressing. Meanwhile I order a $40 Uber Eats meal and pay 30 including delivery/tip so it’s not really that far off. If they ever stop sending me those coupons then it’s back to the kitchen for me. But for now, might as well order my burritos or pad Thai while the going is good!

Yeah but you’re going to eat something right? So it’s probably fine.

After PHM I just listened to other Ray porter audiobooks for awhile, it was ok. And yes, the audio book is very very very good.

In my Canadian market, they are building lots of homes. Many are big, brand new, and listed for 1.2+. Entire streets are just sitting with rows of for sale signs out front. The reason? Only the top 2-3% of income earners qualify for mortgages on these.

Until they drop prices, or interest rates, they won’t going anywhere

Cool

Haven’t watched in 20 yrs.

Clockwork orange, on the other hand I watch every couple yrs

Thanks!

Who is top left?

If you don’t, aren’t you just saying to the next con man that it’s okay, jail is too hard so you won’t actually get punished, might as well steal billions of dollars?

He got sick on his days off like a real man. Didn’t take a personal day because he was feeling low. Did his job, earning for the man. And he fucking deserved that candy!

And nobody wondered why your customers kept getting norwalk?

There is one legit worry in the article, that the new show would impact TOS movies. But the rest of the article is spent talking about how it would be impossible for the new show to be good. It’s wild to read it with the benefit of hindsight lol

In my industry licensing is done on our own time, as a condition of employment. If it’s actually just 4 hrs, I might just bite the bullet and do it.

And potentially negotiate a pay bump, as you agree to increase your value to their benefit, as long as there’s something in it for you also. Especially if working in Z is at all less convenient

Mmmm beer

Imagine telling people the benevolence of the rich will lift everyone, in a system built to reward NOT BEING BENEVOLENT. With a straight face.
