ah yes. the classic "I can't sleep because it will be tomorrow in an instant and tomorrow requires things of me and I Simply Do Not Vibe With That". so I'll go through said tomorrow on 2 hours of sleep. very smart and once again no lessons will be learned
*clears throat* So-
Buckle up, this is a long one
āThe reason we start with Rebecca is all rooted in George Roy Hill starting on those long close-up shots of Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, ācause he was an unknown Broadway actor, but George Roy Hill wanted to let people know that yes, [Paul Newman] is in here, donāt worry, but this guy is in the movie too. So, this show is about Rebecca, even though itās called 'Ted Lassoā, in my opinion. The first season, certainly."Ā - Jason Sudeikis
āI had this picture in my head of what Rebecca looked like, more just in essense, like an aura, and I walk in, and see who we know now as Hannah, and I saw Rebecca. I saw Rebecca first, and then I got to meet Hannah.ā - Jason Sudeikis
HANNAH: Were you thinking, āSheās a giant!ā
JASON: No, I didnāt think that. I mean, we talked about it that day. I remember you being sort of surprised that I didnāt comment on it. I think I said, āIt wouldnāt bother Ted. It doesnāt bother me.ā
āYou get little glimpses or an eye flutter of it as early as episode one. When Ted says to her, āOh, yeah, I heard about that. How are you doing?ā ā knowing that this was going to be a longer-running thing ā it allowed me to give a smile, but an acknowledgment of somebody being so direct to her. In my head, that is literally the first moment anybody had checked in with her. I was glad that, in the edit, that came across. That slight startle.ā - Hannah Waddingham
āI knew when playing that scene weād go to Rebeccaās face after Ted asked to have to sit with it. Sometimes you put that in the script and other times you donāt, but you just know it editorially.ā - Jason Sudeikis
āI do think Rebecca likes him very early on, and that gets in the way. She didnāt think her plan through. She saw this guy online and thought, What an idiot, letās get him to destroy the club. She didnāt think she would actually have chemistry and empathy with this person.ā - Hannah Waddingham
Ā āShe stops weaponizing him early on, like, when she gets to know him, basically after [episode] 4, itās no longer [that].ā - Jason Sudeikis
"Rebecca finds things that she respects Ted for far earlier than people think.ā - Hannah Waddingham
INTERVIEWER: When you look at [Ted and Rebecca] thereās actually a lot of similarities between them. Theyāre both dealing with the end of a relationship, theyāre trying to navigate heartbreak, and what their sense of identity is outside of what has been their lives for several years. [ā¦] Was there a conscious thought about some of the paralels between their journeys with that in mind?
BRENDAN: Yes. [ā¦] We will see a little more of why they are kindred and parallel spirits in season 2
āI do believe they are soulmates.ā - Jason Sudeikis
āThey are ultimately soulmates, in whatever form.ā - Hannah Waddingham
āShe realizes that theyāre each otherās saviors. She unwittingly has saved his life by bringing him away from his wife and his home life, and he has been brought into her life to bring her strength and sunshine when there was none.ā - Hannah Waddingham

TED LASSO APPRECIATION WEEK ā day 5: favorite episode
There is a distinct technique used by capitalists to bypass the legal and contractual rights of workers which to my knowledge has no name currently - so Iām giving it one - Lunch Grinding.
Lunch Grinding is a manipulative erosion of worker rights both in and out of the workplace. It bypasses legal and contractual standards through informal social pressures which the bosses cannot be held directly accountable for.
Lunch Grinding is named after one of the most common examples. It begins by asking a few employees to skip lunch in order to finish a project. Workers who are already insecure about their position due to economic anxiety will see this as an opportunity to prove they are a good employee. Those who refuse to do so may receive blame for failing to finish the project on time.
The issue becomes compounded when the bosses begin to purposefully schedule less time to complete the same projects. A distinct class begins to appear ignoring their contractual right to a lunch break - who become hostile to those who refuse to work during lunch for being ālazyā or āthe reason we didnāt finish on time.ā
At this point the management no longer needs to influence anyone directly to work through lunch break, simply by keeping up the sense of constantly being a little late for the project they have ensured the lunch-grinders will apply pressure to their peers who arenāt working through breaks.
As workplace hostility increases towards the āunproductiveā members who are expressing their formal right to a break - they will be replaced with new individuals who may not even realize they have the right to a lunch break because working through the hour has become normalized by their peers.
Thus formal written standards from contracts and legal code become functionally non-existent. After which a new standard will be identified by management for erosion some examples include:
+Accepting uncertain hours. +Working off-the-clock. +Staying āOn-Callā at all times. +Finishing projects / responding to emails at home. +Never using time off or sick leave.
All of which are socially conditioned in the same format - starting with āThe Good Workerā who does a little favor for their boss - and ending as a peer enforced pressure and a perpetual hostility from management claiming productivity isnāt as high as expected.Ā
This old post of mine feels increasingly relevant with the popular protest of workerās mistreatment happening in the USA of late.Ā
DONāT LET THIS HAPPEN TO CEREAL!!!
Listen in the past the poor have had to improvise cheap food theĀ richĀ never wanted as a means to survive. And over the many years of innovation made the food taste good until eventually the richĀ where like: āOh hay you actuallyĀ likeĀ that garbage? Why on earth would you like it?ā Then they try it, love it, start buyingĀ it, and then drive the price up so much it becomes a luxuryĀ good.
They do this and its devastating, the food typically never becomesĀ affordable again. It donāt matter how cheap the foo dis to produce, it doesnāt matter if there is almost no meat on the bone or its super difficult to eat and messy. Once the poor discover how to make some bit of cheap food taste good, the rich take it away via driving the price of it up.
THEY DID THIS TO RIBS.
Ribs were garage meat.Ā Just look at them, there is hardly any meat on the bone, you have to eat them by hand usually, and they are messy. They where an undesirable cheap sourceĀ of junk meat. But the poor being the poor made them taste good. (Because they donāt have much to choose from.) The rich discovered the meals the poor made with them and decided they liked ribs too. People discovered they could sell a few ribs to rich people and make way more money then selling lots of ribs to poor people and the price was driven up.
DONāT LET THIS HAPPEN TO CEREAL!!!
They did the same to brisket.Ā You used to be able to get brisket for less than a dollar a pound, which meant you could get a twenty pound brisket fairly cheaply.Ā And then you smoked it, sliced it, and had meat for weeks if not a full month.Ā And it was tasty.Ā I grew up eating brisket at least once a month because my family could afford it.
It was a cheap meat because no rich person looks at the dangly part of the neck of a cow and goesĀ āooh, that looks tasty!ā.
But then Food Network started showcasing things like barbecued brisket.Ā Rich people started showing up at places that werenāt just Rib Crib to get their barbeque.Ā And the price of brisket went up.Ā A lot.
I regularly see it for over five dollars a pound in stores now.Ā And while yeah, that might not seem like a lot when youāre talking only a pound or two of meat, brisket is normally sold in ten to twenty pound sizes.Ā Itās become completely unaffordable to the people that made it delicious.
Sushi used to be really cheap, too, until it becameĀ ātrendyā.Ā Guess why youāre now paying twelve dollars for your order of California rolls?Ā Because rich people discovered something that poor people had been eating for ages.
Noticed the prices of fajita meat, chicken thighs, or ham hocks has gone up recently?Ā You guessed it.Ā Rich people are taking our food and now weāre scrambling to afford the things that we grew up eating.
Lobster is a perfect example of this phenomenon.Ā For hundreds of years, lobster was regarded as a sort of insect larvae from the depth of the sea. It had zero appeal as aĀ āluxury foodā until people living in NY and Boston developed a taste for it. Before the 19th century, it was considered a āpoverty foodā or used as fertilizer and bait - some household servants specified in employment agreements that they would not eat lobster more than twice a week. It was also commonly served at prisons, which tells you something about prison food.
Only by cleverly marketing lobster as an indulgence for the privileged made it cost so much. It became a vehicle for enormous profit spawning a multi-billion dollar global industry in the process. This mythical affection for lobster flesh - not its practical value in terms of taste, nutrition, or any other reasonable consideration - drives its value.
LMAO. Wait.
Anyone elseās eye twitchin?
Food gentrification is a long standing practice and itās some of the most evil shit I can think of. Itās why I refuse for example as someone living in the US to buy things with Quinoa in them. It is specifically pricing an indigenous population out of their prime staple food. Itās a horrific invasion of one of the final requirements of staying alive.
Chicken wings. My mom gripes about this every time weāre at the store because they were cheap, garbage meat all her life until Buffalo wings or whatever came along. Her favorite part of the chicken, lol, and now theyāre a luxury buy which she never indulges in.
Guys
Ramen and sushi were street food

Plagued by motifs, symbols, and most of all, by tiresome haunting refrains,
Losing my mind remembering that pic chelsea manning posted of the extremely undercover and not at all obvious fbi agent who was tailing her after her release
what kind of sixth sense do american have to recognize fbi agents that easily
to paraphrase her, its always the shoes.
americans please explain to a foreigner, he looks like some random dude to me
1. They all have the same haircut, almost everybody in law enforcement and the military have the same haircut due to regulations.
2. They all wear the same shoes. Same boots, and same overpolished dress shoes.
3. They act different. Shifty eyed and always on their own.
4. Theyāre kinda really bad at their jobs. Iāve encountered plenty of āundercoverā cops outside of bars that ask questions no regular person in their right mind would ever ask. āHow are you getting home?ā āWho did you come here with tonight?ā
5. America is a police state on a budget. Most officers are poorly trained, fbi agents require a 4 year degree (I think), but lord knows how much training they actually get. And the dumb kids from your high school always become cops.
Itās always the dense as a brick kid, with something to prove that becomes a cop. The kid that mouth-breathed and couldnāt chew gum and walk at the same time.
Their shirts are never form fitting so they can conceal a weapon and cuffs.
Always look at the watch, itāll be expensive but in neutral tones (uniform standards strike again).
They will always sit where they can see their target and the nearest exit.
They will have a partner who is less obvious but wil point a recording device (phone or camera) at you. Check elevated positions, it gives them the clearest view to track you and keep an eye on their partner at the same time.
One time when i lived in phoenix, I was driving home through residential streets from Panda Express on April 20th and there was a 40something year old white man standing quite literally in the MIDDLE of the fucking road wearing a brand new straight from the store weed jersey (jersey #420 with a big pot leaf), a wornout old raiders hat, regular-fit straight leg jeans, and cop shoes. This man proceeded to try to wave me down to stop since I was driving slowly (again, residential neighborhood) and as he did so fully yelledĀ āYou buying bro? You buying? 420 bro 420 you buying?ā
I almost choked laughing so hard. I couldnāt stop myself from just yellingĀ āNO THANK YOU OFFICERā as i drove by him.
for the past 60 years law enforcement, military, and even literal espionage/intelligence based organizations have assumed that rigid conformity to dress code was more important then actually training how to go undercover, blend in, or understand what the fuck theyre doing largely because the āwe are infallibleā mindset is too strong for them to consider they might not be doing very good
shoutout to the twoĀ āundercover copsā who were at my school to monitor the student body for a week, acting likeĀ āsubstitute assistantsā and literally all of the kids immediately recognised them as cops and everyone would address them only asĀ āofficerā which annoyed the hell out of them becauseĀ āwe arenāt copsā like sir you literally have your badge in your back pocket and a taser what fucking substitute assistant would have an actual police badge and a whole ass taser??
Just a casual reminder that this is what secret police are. Like, this is the literal definition. Police who are (badly or otherwise) pretending to not be police.
i know this has eight billion notes already but i love sharing these images
This thread reminds me of this story lol
This sounds bonkers to me because in Italy itās forbidden for cops to bait you to commit a crime, if they do and you cave in they end up in jail
it is 100% legal for cops to lie to you in the united states, about anything they want to, at any time during any contact with you. they do plenty of illegal stuff too but never get in trouble for it
i got one of these guys one time responding to an internet ad to buy something (maybe Craigslist? i cant remember). he tried to bait me into prostitution and when i said no and āare you a cop?ā there was the longest, most awkward pause you have ever seen before he just said āā¦.no.ā
they can lie to you about being a cop too, the thing you see on tv about ācops have to tell you theyāre copsā is bullshit, i only asked because i wanted to see how he acted. anyway yeah this is why Americans seem so squirrelly to Europeans
This is always good info to have and REALLY came in handy in 2020
Learn to spot pigs in human clothes
As someone recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, one thing thatās been helping me grapple with the intense shame I have over all my āwasted potentialā is accepting that potential doesnāt exist and never did.
This sounds so harsh, but please bare with me.
I procrastinated a lot growing up. I still procrastinate today, but less so. And yet, I got good grades. I could write an A+ paper that āknocked [my professor]ās socks offā in the hour before class and print it with sweat running down my face.
I was so used to hearing from teachers and family that if I just didnāt procrastinate and worked all the time, I could do anything! I had all this potential I wasnāt living up to!
And thatās true, as far as it goes, but thatās like saying if Usain Bolt just kept going he could be the fastest marathon runner in the world. Why does he stop at the end of the race??
If ANYONE could make their top speed/most productive setting the one they used all the time, anyone could do anything. But you canāt. Your top speed is not a speed youāre able to sustain.
Now, Iāve found that I do need to work on not procrastinating. Not because the product is better, even, but because itās better for my mental health and physical health to not have a full, sweating, panicked breakdown over every task even if the task itself turns out excellently. Itās a shitty way to live! You feel bad ALL the time! And I donāt deserve to live like that anymore.
So all of this to say, Iām not wasting a ton of potential. I donāt have an ocean of productivity and accomplishments inside of me that I could easily, effortlessly access if I just sat down 8 hours a day and worked. Thereās no fucking way. Thatās not real. Itās an illusion. Itās fine not to live up to an illusion.
And if you have ADHD, I mean this from the bottom of my heart: you do not have limitless potential confounded by your laziness. You have the good potential of a good person, and you can access it with practice and work, but do not accept the story that you are choosing not to be all that you are or can be. You are just a human person.
Nothing Iāve read has changed me more than āyou do people a favor by accepting their helpā like I repeat this constantly to so many people because itās true!!! People like to feel useful, they like to feel kind, they like to feel like they have an ability to impact peopleās lives so just let them!! Not everything is a thing to be owed back ā accept peopleās kindness without making a competition out of it
Just thinking about this today like I was ringing up a woman at the store and she was a dollar short but somebody had tipped me (personally, not the whole staff) a couple bucks earlier and I was like here take one of these and she was so shocked I would do that and made a point to remember my name and thanked me so much over like. One dollar. And then later another customer asked to pay for another coupleās drinks and they were so surprised and trying to buy them something in return but clearly that person just wanted to do something nice and they ended up having a long conversation and laughed together and it would have been so awkward if theyād completely refused or tried to give them money back and it would have ruined the moment. Itās the easiest thing to just pay forward kindness but that also means you have to accept peopleās kindness when it comes around to you.
You can accept a gift with generosity in the same way you can give one with generosity
genuine self confidence literally only comes with not caring at all if youāre ugly... like if itās based around finding yourself beautiful itās planted on fragile ground
like it feels Good to look in the mirror and say Wow i feel pretty, itās a nice moment and iām not condemning it, but itās a tenuous position. if you position yourself to feel good about being pretty, youāre still vulnerable to Ugly, and pretty is not a sustainable state. no matter how far you extend the concept of beauty, itās still based in rules established by societal standards that realistically one cannot be perfectly held up to.
actually this post i made a year ago that some random just reblogged is right and im a genius

No, no, these .gifs are terrible to go with this song.
You need something like this:

Iām crying pls listen
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS OMG
I always troll my friends with this
This sounds like itās being sung by a passive-aggressive 1920s radio host wearing a very dapper suit and threatening me with a cartoonishly small pistol, bearing a large grin on his face that indicates that he will not hesitate to put a hole in my forehead, not for a second
@hellsite-hall-of-fame
Wh? Why did someone make this? How did OP stumble across this without just downloading a normal version successfully? How did that guy in the thread tag their friend without the @, just invoking them like a rogue spirit? Why did the OTHER guy unironically refer to them as .gifs, including the period??? I have questions?????
what the fuck is this post
Mercury would have loved this
Guess what else they coveredā¦;)
Old dude came in the shop and when I said "lemme know if you have any questions" he goes "what was the name of Alexander the Great's horse," thinking he was so funny. I told him Bucephalus, and he was so disappointed. Like his whole day was hanging on beating me at trivia. He says "you're only the second person who knew that" and I said "well, probably the third if you count Alexander the Great." He left without buying anything, and did not say goodbye. I think I honestly hurt his weird little feelings! Sorry I'm a bitch, old man!
