I didn't even find her stubbornness particularly novel or outrageous. I would say the majority of supervisors in my subordinate day over the past 20 years are just as if not more stubborn. They may not have been as aggressive or hostile about it but I don't think it is because the impulse wasn't there. They just lacked the vocabulary to weaponize their words. Plenty of them screamed or threw tantrums though.

Just cobwebs. They're delicious.

"Maybe go fuck yourself."

Will do, thanks!

I don't get it. Don't we all eat churros like this?

Started watching HBOs The Dark Wizard today. Three episodes in and I found him genuinely insufferable and yet I could not stop watching because I recognized the architecture of it. Not the climbing. The part where the thing that makes you extraordinary is indistinguishable from the thing that's slowly killing you and everyone around you knows it except you, or worse, you know it too and just don't care enough to stop. The result is roughly the same, people who loved you standing around with complicated feelings trying to figure out how much of it was genius and how much was just a very compelling death wish. The doc is great. He was kind of an asshole. Both things are true.

The final episode is pretty devastating but poignant. Really can't recommend it enough.

Andrew Garfield.

So, all colleges started accepting the ACT or the SAT without preference about 2 decades ago and what happened was the ACT never had a guessing penalty so a lot of students started shifting to the ACT in favor of the SAT to the point that the SAT had to change their test to be more like ACT to continue to compete in the marketplace with them. And "compete" might even be misleading because they were still very popular and still the standard but they made the change to avoid losing their stranglehold on the market is probably the more accurate way to describe it.

Like cats with listening devices in them? Fine! You don't get to be bait!

Already lost one president because of this belief so fingers crossed?

I actually read this story. She thought it was water so she didn't drink at school intentionally. If she were a drunk I highly doubt she would have vomited after one chug. Even if gin does taste like pine shit.

Alcohol has never made anyone less annoying.

Honestly, based on early interactions I'll probably have to avoid political conversations if I can help it since even people I agree with ideologically seem to irritate the shit out of me. Not all of them, obviously. But enough to have clocked avoiding engaging with certain groups already. I'll just have to know it when I see it.
