It’s true! I’ve seen Breaking Bad!

Losing your job increases your likelihood to steal by like a bajillion percent.

Empty your desk and report to the prison by noon.

I’ve always had a similar mindset on “business attire”. Just people wearing the costume of a competent successful person in order to convince others that they can be trusted with someone else’s money.

But I’m just a flunky who doesn’t like to dress up and loathes the idea that we all need to present a certain image in order to be successful. So, it’s nice to hear the same from someone who’s higher up the ladder.

I never forget Talk like a Pirate Day! It’s my daughter’s birthday! 😁

They do it with radio spectrums.

They literally auction that shit off.

If they were all a different color, that’d be pretty damn cool.

I always love The Oatmeal, but I hadn’t seen that one yet.

Thanks for sharing!

Just to clarify, are we just making this up as we go? Because that’s what I’m planning on.

Look at those dilated pupils. Obviously high.

😄 - “Awww yeah.” Commonly referring to pleasant nostalgia or receiving a blow job.

I wish I had an answer for you, but instead I only have a fun anecdote about DK64.

My roommate played through that game in college. My roommate was also colorblind. I’d be doing whatever and hear “what the hell! Grab the damn banana!” I would look up to see what was happening and say “Dave! It’s purple!”

Oh. I thought it was yellow.

😂

I’m going to guess you’re about 40.

Because that sounds a lot like my list.

That’s exactly what happened with Porkchop! We opened the kitty cage and he lept out into our arms. I was like, now we can’t just get the first cat that jumps at us, so we did a full walk around but inevitably went right back to him.

Went back two weeks later to adopt his sister.

Now is the time for empathy.

Imagine your favorite game was getting shit on by literally EVERYBODY on the Internet. You’re probably going to want to defend your favorite game. Especially if you’re in a community dedicated to people who play that game, you’ll probably have many other people jump in and help you defend it.

I don’t know why people enjoying a game you never bought bothers you so much.

For reference, I also tried it on Gamepass, but I didn’t make it through the tutorial because the game kept crashing. So, no love for it here, but why bother complaining about those who had a better time than us?

One of my cats loves to jump up on people’s shoulders. We’ve been practicing, and I can walk around the house (slowly) with him up there.

Because what you wrote is unnecessarily convoluted, circular and overly complex.

Says the guy who used two forms of sophistry.

I kid. Just a little friendly ribbing.

What are you retailing?

A liquor store, a cell phone store, and a bridal shop are going to be VERY different experiences.

Here’s some general rules I’ve learned.

Corporate often has more resources to pay better and offer more benefits, but often have very strict standards that they follow. Every store must run the same. And their nationally known name will bring in enough people to keep you busy.

Indy stores are much more flexible with how they run things, and the front line employees have the opportunity to participate in the owner’s decisions. Small businesses run a tight budget, and can’t afford the compensation that corporate offers. You won’t see as much traffic, so you will probably pick up additional responsibilities in your downtime.

Franchises are somewhere in the middle, they can’t afford to pay you, and they won’t listen to you.

Of course, these are general rules, and there are exceptions. A stubborn small business owner, or a stingy corporation can eliminate any of the positives that I’ve listed above, or a really great business could defy the negatives normally associated with each.

Gotta be this brain of mine.

Depends. Is it a pull down menu, or open text?
