people have these “my dog is a democrat” stickers and I like to imagine them with increasingly unlikely animals professing more niche political opinions:
my parrot is a democratic socialist
my arctic fox is an anarchopastoralist
my catfish believes in the divine right of kings
“My dog is a democrat” stickers Cause plenty spontaneous snickers, But I can’t help ponder Where else their views wander, On what other points my pet bickers.
To my mind the option it brings Of increasingly niche-seeming things Your critter conceives. MY catfish believes In the heavenly birthright of kings.
i just think if youre a teenager and legitimately considering doing a fast food job because of the restaurants desperation to undercut their employees and ignore safety updates to their locations so they can continue killing their workers in a streamlined fashion
then you have to be a bitch
im sorry but you literally cannot be a nice helpful kid even if thats who you are
your boss isnt your friend and wants to eat you alive sucking away any time off you can get. forcing you to do more and more jobs that arent your responsibility. and they will continue to do it if you are not a bitch
do not freely offer to do things that arent your responsibility. do not come in every time they ask you to when you arent supposed to be working. do not trust them when they butter you up to tell you how smart and competent you are just so they can get you to do things you shouldnt be doing
sorry but thats what working is like. they will hollow you out until there is nothing left of you. do not be kind.
and dont trust their guilt trips either. theyre fake. you arent actually in trouble for not coming in on your day off and given that you already have work experience now as a literal child youre a hot commodity at every other restaurant looking to undercut their staff
these places are notorious for abusing kids and breaking the already eroded child labor laws. so you cannot be kind and naïve when stepping into them. know your worth.
a kid with labor experience is incredibly valuable to all the other greasy fucks owning death traps that serve burgers and fries.
All of this. You don’t survive retail by being the nice, helpful kid to your management; not before the pandemic, and certainly not now. They can and will take advantage of you. That’s not to say don’t put your best foot forward, but know your worth and put yourself and your wellbeing before the company. Always.
It’s weird how little Indonesia is discussed in any way at all considering it’s the 4th largest country on Earth by population. Like 3.5% of the world lives in Indonesia and I know literally nothing about it. I should change that
I like to point out occasionally that Russia has 144 million people, smaller than Nigeria at 186 million and Indonesia at 261 million.
(meanwhile Australia, as large as it is, contains 24 million people).
Also consider: The island of Java alone at 141 million people has nearly as many people as Russia and more than Japan. In the west it’s the 3rd most famous thing by that name, after the coffee variety named after the island and the programming language named after the coffee.
The Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has the most population of any sub-national entity in the world and if it were its own country would be the 5th most populous, after Indonesia.
the population of greater Shanghai is the same as the population of Australia.
the population of greater Chongqing is the same as the population of Canada.
somebody called ben shapiro a bozo to his face. great fucking day
actually their exact words were “you sound like a bozo, bro. and you get no pussy, and you can’t even make your wife wet, bro, so what’s good” GREAT great day
I love it when you can pick up an animator’s quirks.
I’ve read in old interviews with Milt Khal’s fellow animators that he did the swaggle to purposefully show off. Moving the head in 3-d space is an exceptionally hard thing to do but Khal upped the level of difficulty to a place many animators wouldn’t go. Not only are they all doing the swaggle you’ll notice they are all TALKING while they are doing it. This is back in the days where you had to use a timing sheet to pace your animation and a head swaggle doesn’t work if its too slow or too fast so he had to figure out the right speed so it looked natural while the character finishes what they have to say while not interfering with the distinct mouth shapes. Not only did Khal do it without any shifting weight problems or timing issues he would often do it while moving the rest of the body. This isn’t his signature move just because he was good at it.This is his signature move because he was one of the only people skilled enough to DO IT AT ALL.
Milt Khal was a MASTER.
God, I can’t express to you how fucking DELIGHTED I become whenever they Milt Khal Head Swaggle Post graces my dash with its presence again.
something important to remember is that even when an mlm sells perfectly harmless products they’re still evil because the problem isn’t the product, it’s the inherently predatory business structure.
