Clueless

If you're wondering why there's so much resistance to the idea of a 4-day work week, or why automation hasn't actually led to people working less like it was supposed to...

They complained about the 5-day week, and before that the 6-day week, and less than 12 hours in a work day. But I know how much wasted time there is in a workday...

There are gonna be people who won't like hearing this but if you want to live in a world where mixed marriages, families, and adoptions (particularly POC adopting outside their "race") aren't maligned and discriminated against, then you have got to get more chill about seeing someone partaking in something cultural that you don't think fits the "race" you perceive them as.

question for the people that think being late to everything is a funny personality trait. how does it feel to know you’re annoying as fuck

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive

Can someone who understands psychology explain why this makes someone "rude"?

Pro tip: try to make a note (write it down if you have to) about some inconsequential thing that your coworker mentions so you can ask about it later. Kids and pets are great for This. As are hobbies. One guy in my office zoom called in from his house and I saw he had an arcade game in his office so I asked him about it later and he lit up like a Christmas tree. Another coworker has a pet pig and I ask every couple months how the pig is doing. This is a great strategy for pivoting conversation away from you and will make them think you are the friendliest monkey in the pod.

favourite rpg trope is the merchants in incredibly hostile environments. we are at the evil curse mountain and youre just selling me items normal style

Essential worker during covid

as someone with aragorn's kind of face framing layers i just know the front pieces are hanging in his eyes all day every day... "my path is hidden from me" you are 4 bobby pins away from utter clarity.

summoning rituals and vanishing rituals but used strictly for the purposes of transporting commercial cargo

ouija boards used to recover personal device passcodes (grampa we can't get into your email). disposable magic wands with preprogrammed spells for basic repairs/maintenance. flying broomsticks that are the cultural equivalent of hanggliders (expensive, impractical, recreational, and you gotta sign a waiver). necromancy that's just CPR with a longer shelflife, and now there are ER waiting rooms full of dead people.

in fanfiction we must sometimes ask ourselves not if he would do that but under what conditions would he would do that
