(IRONICALLY BLANK)

A dad came into my cafe with his 3 year old daughter.  He bought her a cookie and himself a coffee.  They sit down, and I go back to my pre-closing cleaning.  Three minutes later the dad walks up to the counter again, so I stop cleaning and walk over to greet him again.

As I’m in the middle of saying “hi” he cuts me off and says “Water.”

Not “Can I get a glass of water, please?” not “Where can I get water?” not even a confused “water?” like he’s not sure how to get water in this cafe.  Just a single word demand.

I work in silicon valley, so I’m kind of used to techies talking to me like I’m Siri or Alexa, but it still always drives me crazy when they do this.  Like, I don’t even care about the “please” anymore, I just want people to talk to me in complete sentences.  So I get the guy a cup of water, and he sits back down. 

As I’m about to go back to cleaning I hear his daughter go “Daddy, you did that WRONG.  You have to say ’CAN I have a glass of water PLEASE’”

My jaw hit the ground.  The dad suddenly became flustered and tried coming up with excuses “I-I said please…” “No you didn’t!” “Well she was busy…. I didn’t want to bother her…..” “You still got to be polite!”

When they were done eating the dad brought the dishes back to the counter and said “Thank you so much!” It’s amazing how fast someone’s manners can improve when a 3 year old calls them out.

If you have depression or anxiety? you’re not tired for no reason.

You’re tired because you have depression/anxiety.

Not only do they both come with low energy/fatigue as a legit common side effect, but they’re both fucking /exhausting/. fighting your brain all the time? exhausting. adrenaline crashes from anxiety/panic attacks? exhausting. being on edge all the time? exhausting. plus doing things costs /more/ energy when you have those mental illnesses.

My take of Lord Shaxx in “street wear”

chest armor inspired from the intrepid exploit plate, arms and Mark from new eververse sets.

Helmet stayed… the same design.

30 seconds of *Ethan Noises*

Yes this includes nonbinary boys too!

tl;dr: more Vault Hunters!! MORE

[this post has major spoilers in it for the main game.]

spoilers for the main game and all under the cut, you know the drill. This goes over cut lines regarding everyone’s favorite psycho.

TROY - Did not die, everything from the end of his fight onwards is rewritten content.

Full God King mode for what was likely the whole rest of the game, showed as above in all future echo log contacts.

TYREEN - Likely leeched to near death in FIRST Troy fight, is fully Eridium infused with burnt eyes like Zarpadon in this cut echo icon and was almost definitely renergeised through Eridium infusion by Troy, giving a fantastic reversal of their original relationship of parasite and power provider.

Bonus:

They used Troy’s echo for the PlayStation trophy for killing him because they were that damn lazy:

Thank you again, Cruddy. I’ve been sitting on this a long ass time and I’m glad you can all now also feel our pain.

uploading higher quality pics bc the ones i shared were just screenshots (sorry). these are transparent. titled ECHOportaitTroyevil and ECHOportaitTyreenevil instead of just the basic ECHOportraitTroy and ECHOportraitTyreen.

Bonus:

Scooper (Scooter’s son) was another cut ECHO icon. He had a quest and was mentioned a bunch by Ellie.

it’s almost as if men are used to seeing women in film through a male gaze where they are sexualized and objectified for male pleasure and approval.??

huh anyway MEN are weak and ladies enjoy Mary Elizabeth Winstead looking hot and powerful as Huntress

I know this isn't specifically about Harley Quinn, but since it's her movie, I gotta make the comparison. I mean I wonder why all men were drooling over this Harley

But I havent heard a single male praise for her hotness since the trailers for her movie came out and they find out now she looks like this

I MEAN

I W O N D E R W H Y

I feel a cough coming on, because I work in a drug store, and all of my customers are sick. I always feel a little bit sick, now. I can't afford to eat well enough to keep my body healthy. Cough medicine is worth two hours and 20 minutes of work. Our store probably bought a case of cough medicine for they price we're selling one box. If this cough gets worse, I might have to call out, which will cost me more than the medicine in the long run- but that doesn't give me the money to buy the medicine right now. I stock a case onto the shelf. I don't buy any.

A mom wrangling three crying, sick kids enters my line and sets two types of children's medicine down, says they're both on sale and thank god for that. I ring her up, and she gets very quiet, because she misread the sign, and her total is twice as high as she was expecting. Her youngest screams in the cart, because she's burning up with fever. Her mother very quietly asks, please, she's so sorry, if I could please take the more expensive one off her total.

I agree, I move the box below the counter, and when she's not looking, I slip it into her bag. I pray as hard as I can that if she notices the "mistake" she says nothing, because I so desperately want her to have that medicine. The store has lost profit at the cost of a child's health. I don't bat an eye. This is a terminable offense. If I'm presented with the same situation tonight, I'll do it in a heartbeat.

The myth of evil employees stealing from the company falls apart the second you realize the company would shoot you dead to make a profit. This isn't two equal players, one of whom is stealing from the other. This is someone fighting for survival versus someone fighting to make an extra million. It's not equal.
