I'd say they're the good and evil versions of each other. They do the exact same thing, but the union has the worker's interest in mind and the temp agencies have the company's interest in mind.

My dad was a big believer of this when I was younger. Finally I humored him and had him drive me around town as I went into every buisness ask for a paper application. I printed and stapled 30 resumes for the trip, got dressed up, on the way into town he was so smug about how I was finally "really trying to get hired". Four hours later, we'd been to nearly 50 businesses, I'd gotten two paper applications and only 16 of my resumes were accepted. Everyone else said to apply online or "we only hire through the temp agencies". My dad for his part took it way harder than me. I think he actually realized that's not how it works anymore because he never suggested it again and took me seriously when I said I'd been putting in applications online.
Real velociraptor was basically a turkey. The movie ones are closer to Utah raptor.
For me, being a man is just being. That's the end. I am a man, I choose to be a man, and anything outside of that is someone trying to sell me something.
But will you obsessively monitor their sperm?
I could not for the life of me figure out what those were kicking on about
Fuck, I guess I'm glad I didn't follow the history memes to the new instance. I thought all the romaboo stiff was just nerds being silly.
Literally never did a review before but I've done this one to say I don't like universes beyond
Weird all Yankovic.
He's been around for ages, doing parodies of everything but hasn't managed to make a single enemy. He's smart, he's caring, he's never involved in any scandals, and I guarantee he'd only use this power to better everyone.
What is this, corpo shills on my Lemmy??
So I'm sure just about everyone knows "The Cool S". It's ubiquitous in school culture and if you haven't drawn it, you probably know someone who has.
The thing is, no one knows where it came from. Everyone has a cool cousin or older sibling that "invented" it, or claim it's from some group or company, but it always turns up to be false. In fact, the oldest known example is in a book cataloging street art published in 1973. From there it's been found on basically every notebook and lunch table the world over and represents a big niche in childlore.
So here's where I go off the deep end... What if this is actually The Yellow Sign?
The yellow sign is never expressly described in the story, with the weird wiggly one being an artist rendition. However, in The King in Yellow, a character draws it freehand to show someone. Which implies it's easy to freehand which the current one isn't. Furthermore, think of the purpose. The yellow sign is intends to spread Hasturs influence secretly. The current one, while undoubtedly cool, is also strange and stands out. If you're wearing it on your person, it stands out. The S doesn't. I'm writing this on break and there's 3 in this room alone. No one cares.
Now take a moment to consider the vector. The best time to indoctrinate someone is young. Why fight to catch the random mad reader when you can net up whole classrooms in a single day and whole schools in a week? No one takes it seriously because it's a children's doodle. A thing we draw absent-minded as we remember our youth.
For all we know, we're all infected and didn't even know.

I keep both of the bottom pannels as response pics for discord. You'd be shocked how useful they are.
