Ive been playing among us with my brother and some friends and they invented a new game mode called hide and seek. You set the imposter vision way down, and set the kill cooldown to something like 10 seconds. When the game starts everyone scatters and hides except the imposter, who waits for the timer to count down before seeking. Then the imposter wanders around looking for crewmates to kill, and the last crewmate standing wins, unless all the tasks get done, in which case all crewmates win.

Its actually a lot of fun, and its super funny to watch the imposter run past without seeing you, or to follow them just outside their vision, especially when youre in a discord call and can tease them a little. So i guess thats something new to try next time youre in a lobby with too few people to have a good game

A five-year-old child, Carver, sent Baby Yoda to firefighters in Oregon to thank them for all of their efforts.

They now take him everywhere:

Thank you, firefighters! 🙏

This is the most wholesome thing I have ever seen. 🥺♥️

On a job application: “What is your preferred name and gender, we value diversity, so be honest.” Me: 

I don’t know what this means.  I’ve never filled out a form that said that.

they’re asking you to disclose if you’re transgender. legally, they can’t ask or consider someone’s gender in hiring someone, so they get around it by giving you the option of telling them yourself. if you “volunteer” the information, that’s legal.

its like when they try to figure out if you’re poor by asking if you have “reliable transportation,” hoping that ppl will explain that they dont have a car without actually being asked. things like that.

its a scummy thing to do, especially in this case where theyre presenting it like a “diversity” thing.

^^^^ Never answer those questions honestly if you actually want the job.

My managers have personally told people that anyone who puts anything like that outside of just “male or female” gets their application tossed immediately. Btw if an interviewer asks if you have reliable transportation, don’t say anything but “yes I do” that’s it!!!!! Don’t say another word don’t say you take the bus or walk or bike or get rides or uber don’t say anything!!!!! Just say yes and that is it they cannot require any sort of proof of transportation.

Shit. I didn’t know that about transportation but I'mma start doing it now.

I just took a class where one of the things we had to go over was interviewing to hire. 

The entire process was super gross and made me feel scummy and unethical. SO!

Be on the look out for any of these questions. 

fuck no wonder i havent gotten a job…

thanks.

People that get invested in fiction and examine fictional lore need to learn how to tell the difference between which lore is actually important to the series and which lore is an excuse for something.

If Dwarven women are capable of growing beards, but have cultural reasons not to, that is an excuse that they made not to give them beards.

If a female character can only wear skimpy clothing for some given reason, that is an excuse to sexualize her.

If an organization can only be populated men, that is often an excuse to not have to create female characters.

Its all made up. It isn’t a foundation of the universe that they can’t control. They wrote it to be like that.

“I know the women are treated poorly, but its set in an era when women weren’t respected” its an entirely fictional world, not a historical documentary. They didnt have to have it set up so women are treated poorly in that culture. That’s a decision they made.

Stay safe out there.

also a big fuck you to men who've been so fucking creepy at bars that women felt compelled to learn a set of secret signals.
