My boss is Canadian and does the same thing, minus the deadline:

“It would be nice if X…”
“So do you want me to do X?”
“Let’s circle back later and see if we have time.”
Later:
“Hey, why isn’t X done?”

What if it was To Catch a Creditor and he hunted loan officers for sport?

Considering the r/jailbait drama, there had to be some overlap.

I have no idea what that is

All I’ve been able to gather from this drama involving celebrities I’ve never heard of is that a man who has a tattoo of his wife, a woman who volunteered to murder people in Palestine, likely cheated on her with an intern 12 years younger than him and who rose to internet prominence by making puppet adaptations of a sketch he does featuring a “dark klansman” character, whatever that means.

I think I’d sooner stare into the Dark Crystal than any deeper into this parasocial abyss of horrible internet personalities.

It’s still out there and there are other brands doing the same thing now.

Looks like we have the founding subscribers to c/thalassophobia

We live in a universe that is full of invisible places where if you fall in you cannot escape and time dilation means that you’ll witness the entire rest of the universe’s lifespan as you get yanked into an infinitely thin strand of spaghetti, and that feels spookier than a dude with an octopus for a face that makes you go crazy if you look at him or a guy who wears glasses over a bedsheet and stabs you.

I have no idea! I guess I should’ve realized something was up when he evidently decided that the Rick & Morty D&D manual was more compelling than his epic fantasy series.

Appreciate the insights! I’ll start asking around.

It’s okay, Doors of Stone is just around the corner

The replies are pretty great.

Also it looks even goofier on the helmet:

It seems like newer cars also have an auto-brights feature that will happily blind anyone in front of you if the street lights are too dim.

I have a four year degree in plant bio and feel like I should’ve looked more closely into Landscape Architecture - I kinda assumed based on what I’ve seen from others that it’s mostly a combo of CAD and permits. I’m currently in a large, somewhat progressive city so it might also be a challenge to break in. But it sounds worth giving it another look. Thanks for the info! And awesome job on using the scheming court eunuch influence for good.

For the truly neurospicy connoisseur

How does one get into eco-Marxist urbanism?

I wanted to go into field biology and conservation, see the world, live in exotic places. Went to school, discovered that PhDs can take 8+ years while you make barely enough to live on, then the job market is brutal and you spend all your time working and having to delay life milestones like relationships and family while also being on the front lines of what civilization is doing to the natural world.

Instead I went into international development and make more but also discovered that vast sums of money are being spent on what amounts to window dressing. My goals have been gradually eroding over the years to the point where it’s “accomplish literally anything with tangible value to anyone.”

Now I’m wondering what would’ve happened if I’d just become a baker or, failing that, a crusty van dwelling hippy who talks to crows.

The Dollop just did a couple of episodes on how LA mayor Karen Bass started out as a community organizer who accomplished some great things, and then got into politics and spent a couple of terms in the house and came out the other side as a creature of the establishment. If you show up with morals, they make sure you toss them out.
