Evolution.

It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they're making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they're working on. I mean, who doesn't love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.

It's fun, it's ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.

Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans.

This reminds me of that one time in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

If they're truly devout, they'll turn the other cheek.

Lol nvidia CEO couldn't do my job for an hour.

I am absolutely confident that I could do his job for an hour.

The empty chair in his office does his job just as easily, too.

You can tell me all about the meetings and deals they have to worry about but ultimately, by the time a company gets that large, it could run itself without a c-suite for quite some time.

I have $5 I'm willing to chip in for an author, if anyone wants to start a crowd fund?

Hell, make it $50. It'll have to wait until payday though...

I would read the shit out of this.

My last employee orientation really didn't like me saying to the group of 10 or so "anti-union speeches should be just as illegal as insinuating we aren't allowed to discuss wages"

And also I have called a new employee a fucking idiot for saying "guys we aren't supposed to talk about wages" when the topic came up one day and "I'm gonna get a manager" when the discussion continued.

Klingon has an empty crate bounce off him and he's ready to end it all.

I get tortured in a mind prison for decades, and I'm expected to show up for work the next day...

No worries, tone isn't easily conveyed in text and with everything else it's totally understandable.

And if I'm being completely honest, it may have a slight bias toward that way just from me being from the US. I just didn't consciously/purposely do so.

I did mean to simply say that I wish we could achieve such things here without resorting to what arguably most modern governments have done, if not recently then in the past.

It's doable, we just need the people in charge to have the best intentions for all people.

Fat fucking chance of that in the US these days (or for the last 40 years)

man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID

Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid

this instance was just particularly memorable.

A nurse once told me to "mind my own fucking business" when I said "are you fucking kidding me?" to seeing her pull off her mask to cough into her hand and go back to the shit she was working on during covid lock downs. In the ER nurses station, surrounded by nurses with asks completely down or with noses poking out.

10/10
