magical girl shows really did snap when they assigned personality traits based off the members colors

pink - commander and the leader. probably really nice and sweet

blue - probably very close to pink, is either 100 iq smarty pants but shy or very tough and cool

yellow/orange - very happy and positive. can vary from being newbie of the group to be older and mature, probably known as the beautiful one

purple - mysterious, usually starts off as a rival or joins the group later, but is definitely known to the members as another MG. Probably has a softer side they don’t show

Don’t forget green - more mature and very reliable

Red - Mad

okay but this implies the existence of a lost pink teletubby. a fallen leader too painful to talk about anymore

I think adults need summer vacation. Like let's just close down all our jobs for three months and play outside. Please. I'm so tired.

I worked for the US side of a company where the main financial decision makers were headquartered in Spain for a while.

And in August? Basically everyone in Spain goes on vacation the entire month.

And since the financial decision makers were all gone, and my job was to ask for financial decisions, I had a much reduced workload every August.

I still had to show up to the office, which sucked.

Anyway, this is a long post to say that other countries get this. We should demand it here.

And more.

When a job says "unlimited time off" ask what their average usage is. Ensure you match it. Minimum.

When a job says "you get X days off" use them. Keep a sharp eye on roll over limits year-to-year, leave no hour behind.

These are not health or mana potions to save for a boss fight.

Do not answer your phone on vacation. Do not check your email. Do not feel the need to explain.

I took last week off because I hadn't played Super Mario Bros. 2 in a long time and I said, "This is a good week to play Super Mario Bros. 2."

I regularly take off at least 1 day to have my hair done. Hair! I could have it done on a Saturday, I don't, because Saturday's are my time. Hair time is hair time.

Sometimes I take a day off because the weather is frightfully good or frightfully bad.

Do you remember how cheap movies are during the day, during the week, around lunch time? At least once a month I take a day off to go to the movies and eat snacks and cavort slowly and casually.

To hustle is to make your boss richer.

To lazily sashay down a boulevard with a fizzy water and no plans and less thought? Divine.

Time off is not a reward.

Time off is part of your compensation.

The fancy business term for this is "Employee Value Proposition." It is the sum of the question, "why do you want to work here" -- money + benefits + etc.

If you are in an interview and someone says "why do you want to work here" and they are a suit person, say something to the effect of, "Your employee value proposition is significantly higher than your competitors. I value X, Y, Z of your compensation package, firm's reputation, product's reputation, and the current course of your management team."

If you do not have time off, or enough time off, I wish for you an expedited and profitable exit to a situation where you do.

what i miss most about being a chocolatier (besides the honor of gayest job title imaginable) is we had these massive bars of chocolate for tempering that were 10lbs and we had to break them into smaller chunks. by using a sledgehammer of course. i LIVED for that shit

all the other people in production HATED busting them especially at the end of the shift but i fucking loved it. give me the hammer. i can be trusted with the hammer. And everyone did in fact trust me with the hammer because again they all thought it was tedious and painful. me? i was having the time of my life. even if i had to pick up the slack for other people i would be annoyed for all of five seconds before the euphoria of getting to smash things set in. and the production areas had windows too so customers often just got to watch me beat the shit out of a massive chocolate bar. with a hammer. like a zoo animal. i was getting paid to do that. every day i miss it.

I feel like a good shorthand for a lot of economics arguments is "if you want people to work minimum wage jobs in your city, you need to allow minimum wage apartments for them to live in."

"These jobs are just for teenagers on the weekends." Okay, so you'll use minimum wage services only on the weekends and after school. No McDonald's or Starbucks on your lunch break.

"They can get a roommate." For a one bedroom? A roommate for a one bedroom? Or a studio? Do you have a roommate to get a middle-wage apartment for your middle-wage job? No? Why should they?

"They can live farther from city center and just commute." Are there ways for them to commute that don't equate to that rent? Living in an outer borough might work in NYC, where public transport is a flat rate, but a city in Texas requires a car. Does the money saved in rent equal the money spent on the car loan, the insurance, the gas? Remember, if you want people to take the bus or a bike, the bus needs to be reliable and the bike lanes survivable.

If you want minimum wage workers to be around for you to rely on, then those minimum wage workers need a place to stay.

You either raise the minimum wage, or you drop the rent. There's only so long you can keep rents high and wages low before your workforce leaves for cheaper pastures.

"Nobody wants to work anymore" doesn't hold water if the reason nobody applies is because the commute is impossible at the wage you provide.

already there. i'm doing my part 🫡

don’t forget during the WGA strike that animation is not covered under the WGA deals and as a result animation has gotten the shortest possible end of the stick in under-staffing, under-paying, and generally turning the field into gig employment.

please sign the petition here for Disney to recognize animation production workers as a union and reblog this post!

Maybe if he was a little less fuckable we wouldn’t be in this mess

We all know Furbies lay Orbeez eggs that Worms on a String hatch from, but did you know that when a Furby escapes captivity it will revert back to its feral long worm form in less than a year

I hope this clears things up

What the fresh fuck

Looks like we can’t isolate, ignore, ibuprofen our way out of this one boys

Look I clown veganism often enough but really, truly, don’t ever fucking feed somebody something without their knowledge or consent. It’s hugely fucked up and not OK.

also if someone hasn’t eaten meat in a while… or ever… they will get incredibly sick if they just start eating meat again.

|| Please don’t do this. Not just with vegans/ vegetarians, but with ANYONE you don’t know very well. You never know what they may or may not be allergic to, their abilities o(or lack thereof) to digest certain things, dietary needs and restrictions, religious beliefs requiring them to abstain from the consumption of certain foods and about a thousand other things.

Some people are legitimately allergic to thd proteins in certain meats and can’t even eat anything cooked in the same pan as X meat product/s.

I’m vegan but couldn’t care less if others aren’t, not an overwhelming number of (not all, just alot, unfortunately) non vegans find things like this funny.

Quick reminder: Sometimes people say “I’m vegan” or “I’m vegetarian” because its easier/faster/begets fewer annoying questions than the longer explanation.

As an epidemiologist I can list a few of the more annoying longer explanations that no one wants to have to explain to every person who ever offers them food:

- You drank water contaminated with giardia, which gave you 3 weeks of diarrhea followed by 3 years of lactose intolerance

- You were bitten by a Lone Star Tick and developed an allergy to beef and pork because the Lone Star Tick is a bastard

- You are Jewish and the meat isn’t kosher, but you don’t want to say that because antisemitism is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are Muslim and the meat isn’t halal, but you don’t want to say that because Islamophobia is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for medical reasons and don’t want to get bombarded with questions about your medical history while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for reasons that *are nobody’s business* and don’t want to get pulled into Potentially Triggering Diet Talk while you’re hungry.

Listen. Food can be very very complicated for people, and a very very very sensitive subject. Respect people’s food restrictions. None of it is your business.

I was one of the people who ordered something decaf at Starbucks only for them to have made it caffeinated and seem to have put in at least a couple shots of espresso and spent the day having panic attacks. Don’t do this shit to people

Also, even if it won’t harm them at all, if you respect people’s bodily autonomy then you can’t compel them to eat something without their consent (and knowledge is necessary for consent)

Basic rule of thumb for the people for whom someone elses bodily autonomy and consent aren’t enough reason:

Do not feed anyone anything you don’t want to have to answer for in court.

They may be ordering soy milk because they feel fancy about it.

Our they may order it because if you give them regular milk, they might die there and then and you killed them. Whether you intended that to be the outcome or not it’s irrelevant.

They may order gluten free because it’s so trendy.

Or they may do it because eating gluten means huge pain and, if repeated, irreversible damage to their internal organs.

They may be ordering meat-free because it makes them feel superior.

Or they might have some trauma related to eating meat that could lead to them gagging or even throwing up trying to eat meat, not to mention potentially giving them mental problems.

And for all these cases there are in-betweens.

I drink regular milk with no trouble whatsoever but I do like some of the plant-based alternatives as well. It’s variety.

However, whatever scenario we talk about, violating someone’s trust and consent is bound to make their day worse and you should not do that under any circumstances.

“I didn’t know it was for real” is not gonna bring anyone back from the dead and in any justice system worth the paper it’s laws are printed on its not going to help you in front of the court.

Respect people’s choices, people have the right to eat or not eat whatever they want

I’m allergic to soy. I didn’t know this until I was 28 or so. Before that, I avoided soy because my Mom had inflammatory breast cancer that could be exacerbated by soy. So soy was monitored in my house. Then I moved to Taiwan. I tried roasted edamame beans, and they were delicious. And made me so sick to my stomach. Vomiting and diarrhea and just feeling terrible. I thought I just got sick (flu, stomach bug, etc.) But it kept happening. Tofu, edamame, soy milk. Didn’t matter, it made me ill. So, I quickly learned the phrase “buyao soya” (I don’t like soy).

I had made friends with a big group of expat English teachers. And several were rabid vegans. I would mention when we went out to eat that I could not have soy as I was allergic. This was of course met with scoffs, because “no one’s allergic to soy!” Fun fact, it’s one of the major food allergens.

One day, a friend’s band was playing at a vegan place, and I was there with some friends. We were doing a group order, and I told them just to not order me anything with soy, but I had to run to the toilet. I came back and the food came. My friends asked me how it was, and I said it was good. The looked smug, and said, we knew you’d like tofu if you just had it right! I was so upset. I had to stop eating everything, and not 30 minutes later, I am back in the toilet sick as anything. My friends couldn’t understand why I was so sick. I finally said,“ Would you feed someone peanuts if they had a peanut allergy?” No, of course not! “Then why,” I asked, “did you think it was ok to trick me into eating soy when it makes me sick?” I told them I couldn’t trust them anymore, and now I was going to miss a friend playing in his band. I apologized to my friend, explained what happened, and said I’d catch their next performance. I was sick for two days.

Oddly enough, there was a vegetarian place that I loved, but I would always say buyao tofu/soya, and they finally said, “You always say buyao soya, do you not like it?” I told them, “No, I like it, but it does not like me!” They laughed, but understood that I had a food allergy, and from then on they would say, “Oh, don’t get that one, it has soya! You can’t have it!”

I have my own food sensitivities though mine are mostly texture based though some are based on crap my digestive system does though I tend to bully my digestive system whenever it says enough fried turkey because I am going to eat my salty greasy food I need the salt and the lipids because I am thin and have low blood pressure

Map of Native American etymologies for “horse”. There were no horses in the Americas before the colonists arrived. Native Americans quickly developed new words for this strange animal, often associating them with dogs, their one other domestic animal before contact with Europe.

@coyotecure your tags have me cackling omfg

Mystery dog…

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE

The Spanish: Look at this animal we brought with us.

Native Americans: oh that’s a uh. Weird fucking dog you got there.

one time i went through the taco bell drive thru and when i tried to order a baja blast i said “mountain boo bah” and then i just left. couldn’t recover

a friend of mine once went to order a beefy bean and cheese burrito but ordered a “beedo beedo” instead and i think of it every time i go to taco bell
