  • Having been a new parent and having a stressful job at the same time, I am absolutely guilty of enjoying the peacefulness of grocery shopping and just... spacing the fuck out.

    For that hour (that could have taken 10 minutes) nobody is up my ass about something. Ive already been given the task (grocery shopping) and until thats done nobody else is trying to heap shit onto my plate.

  • Think more along the lines of "Extreme focus on something wildly unrelated to what you are supposed to be doing that is incredibly critical right now.

  • One of my buddies has a big time thing for high heels, but only if he cant see toes because he thinks feet are disgusting.

  • "In our defence he was way better at brown people things than a lot of brown people"

  • Yeah, its rare that its definitively proven either way. I'm saying that I dont blame people for wanting to believe their friends and family are innocent when accused of rape famous or not.

  • I also throw into the equation "How much time has passed?"

    I'm no massive fan but Mark Wahlberg is a good example, dude was a straight up violent racist asshole when he was young but the last thing was in 1992. I just cant bring myself to be mad at a 54yo for something he did 23 years ago.

  • I kind of feel for people who were close with people who were outed as sex offenders, because they didnt come in on monday "Hey, Danny! How was your weekend?" "Bro I spiked a girls drink and raped her in my car, it was awesome." I worked with a guy for years, his daughter had "issues" and then one day it came out that he was a sexual abuser of his own daughter. Which explained her mental health issues. In that case he quit his job, got his affairs in order and pled guilty. But I still remember thinking he was a great guy, until he wasnt... now I'm going to find it really hard to not pop his nose out the back of his fucking head if I ever run into him again.

    Now throw in the potential "attention seeking" behaviors that could happen with famous people, people hoping for a payout, jilted exes and someone you have known for years swearing up and down they didnt do it... Id want to support my friend too.

  • I had a buddy growing up who had a really hard time coming to terms with being gay because he really loved lifting weights, football, dirt bikes and hard rock. He was "One of the boys" in an era when most of the portrayal of gay people in popular media was (and I say this with all love) mostly flamboyant lisping queens.

    Fortunately his story had a happy ending, but role models are important.

  • I want to see more "Benign Queerness"

    Its briefly mentioned that the character is gay or bi or trans and then it never comes up again because its not relevant to their job in a hospital/cop/whatever.

  • I have mixed feelings about the movie, but that was a good line and Jesse Plemons delivered it well.

  • Renaissance Periodization - working out, dieting, bodybuilding and steroids.

    Dr Mike Isratel is a Dr of exercise science and doesnt chat shit. They make their money pretty transparently, and give honest to god research backed information. Lots of information that can be extracted from Beginners to Advanced and he loves a good dick joke enough for all of his content to feel fun.

  • Standing next to mass grave

    "But what kind of socialist are you?"

  • Honestly it did largely start off as me laughing at idiots missing the point that to fight capitalism they could do almost anything else short of shopping at the Gucci store for their T-Shirts. But if this is their "Fisher Price My first act of rebellion" well thats not really a bad thing.

  • Ha! I'm already doing this. I have an account on a t-shirt vendor site where I upload some low effort anti-capitalism design every week. I dont make much money but I giggle my balls off that people buy it. Like a Che Guevara t-shirt from Hot Topic in the 90s... Some people just dont get irony.

  • Its really not their fault. Most organisations hold their staff to either brutal efficiency targets or have them on a contract basis getting paid per parcel. I'm VERY LUCKY in that my organisations key metric is "successful deliveries/attempts without complaint" and right behind it is number of parcels delivered per hr. They like a guy who does 20 an hour and 100% success way more than a 30 an hr and 95% success. My bosses love me because I know I'm hourly and I just DO MY JOB. Last time I checked I'm at 99.9%.

    It is partially the customers fault. People LOVE the idea of next day free delivery, their parcel being treated with loving care, their delivery instructions being followed to the letter and delivered by someone who takes pride in their job, it drives a lot of business... but its FREE, you think they dont cut corners? Most places hire people who will work their asses off for peanuts, which means a high turnover of people who dont really give a fuck to be able to take on those contracts and still make IF THEY ARE LUCKY $1 off each parcel.

  • No I call them on their stupidity. I'm a union government employee, I know how hard I am to fire.

    "The fact that when we deliver something you ordered, to the address you ordered it to, use your doorbell and your dog goes psycho is not OUR problem."

  • Bruh I work for a postal service and you should read the complaints.

    Knocked too loud, knocked too soft, used the doorbell and it scared me, put my parcel in my mailbox instead of bringing it to the door, delivered my parcel when I was working from home, delivered the parcel to my husband and it was his birthday present, when the postman delivers my parcels my dog barks, I ordered size 12 pants and you delivered size 14...

    Anyone who thinks parcel people are stupid... our staff are no dumber than your average customer.

  • And the higher end ones are just GOOD.

    Its a similar price to fast food, I can just keep a few in the freezer and I can add some little extras to make them more to my taste or chuck some leftover stuff on them to use it up.

    Little bit of garlic powder, some cracked pepper and some chilli flakes...
