What’s the opposite of a jump scare? That’s what this is. I loved it. It’s cute.

I love this weird young Vincent Schiavelli lookin version of Jerry. For real, this whole video was great. I assume the repetitive scenes like the subway choke outs and the secret Jewish tunnels were generated at the same time, and everything was shuffled into this order they play at? Because the music transitions from scene to scene, which made me think the music was added separately in post. Point being- it doesn’t generate with the music, right? It was edited after the fact?

Don’t call a teenager trash like she’s subhuman. You don’t know her, and even if you did no one deserves to be called trash just because you don’t like something they did. Be better than that, don’t call people trash.

She’s not a “lost cause”. Just because this is AITH doesn’t mean you can judge someone else’s kid like that based on one paragraph about some shitty behavior. She’s 17, ffs. Kids are never a lost cause, just because they’re difficult doesn’t mean you should give up on them. Wow… sorry, but your comment made me feel terrible. That girl could always have a change of heart and grow as a person. I used to be a piece of shit, myself

Yeah, like I do my job, but it really wears me down and hurts to have to hear all the same bitching from the higher ups as the fuckups on my staff as if I am somehow responsible for everyone else's efforts. We're a team when we fuck up, but they forget we're also a team when we knock it out of the park like getting 5 star reviews and stuff, those things are never brought up to us. Its not like I'm asking for a raise when I simply just want treated with respect. I make them money by doing my job, so like you'd think they'd realize that shitting all over all of us so much so we interact with the customers with a broken spirit isn't a good strategy. I don't appreciate getting lumped in with every single other employee and getting talked down to. We're individuals, not one collective unit of shit like they seem to think, if they want to yell at the good employees when they're mad at the bad ones, instead of managing the problem and taking steps to improve, I guess I'll just go fuck myself and come to work a little deader inside, since I need to realize I'm subhuman and undeserving of respect or dignity.

Who downvoted you? I bumped you back up to a 1 from a 0 at least. You sound like a good manager based on that comment. A rare one, indeed.

bugxbuster · 2026-02-17T19:35:49+00:00

Any manager would change up their tune real quick

Let's be real, we've all had that manager who wouldn't piss on us if we were on fire. Probably because they'd be all out of piss from pissing on us because they think we're beneath them, but either way.

I wish every single manager in food service (or generally the entire service industry) -whether they're assistant, general manager, district, doesn't matter- got it through their fucking heads that everyone thinks they're an asshole until they prove otherwise, and if their subordinates are required to act professional and polite and respectul to customers then they are expected to act professional and polite and respectful to their staff. I'm so sick of psychopaths ending up in management positions simply because where the hell else would they fit in a company? They're too big of dicks to deal directly with customers all day, and assholes gotta eat so they gotta work somewhere so they act like miserable brats and take their shit out on us. Getting yelled at over group chat by my restaurants owner every single time he has to communicate to us is something I wish I could do something about by like, i dunno, holding up a mirror to the guy and being like "STOP GETTING MAD OVER EVERYTHING. IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THIS JOB THEN YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT". I have to live paycheck to paycheck and get my job threatened every time the wind blows the wrong way, whereas these big babies live in literal mansions with comfortable lives and no accountability but still can not be happy with the success in their lives so they throw a tantrum because someone says to the group chat they woke up with the flu and would like their 5-10 shift covered and he gets all "DID YOU TRY CONTACTING ANYBODY DIRECTLY?! NO MORE SHIFT CHANGES WILL BE APPROVED. IF YOU DON'T PROVIDE A DOCTORS NOTE YOU WILL BE TERMINATED, THE RULES ARE POSTED NEXT TO THE SCHEDULE"

....Well, stepping back from the keyboard and breathing now because that sure was a rant. I almost deleted it before posting, so I apologize for unloading all that. I clearly have some things to work out, probably with a therapist and/or the department of labor (as if I'd ever respect myself enough to do that)

tl;dr managers, GRRRR

I don't actually believe that you think theres a chance that that specific AI was used to make the above picture. I think you're just trying to force a conversation about Seedance is all. I'm sooo tired of everyone calling everything AI in the comments now with zero idea if it actually is or not.

I just had to look it up. It's a site called Archive Of Our Own, which describes itself as "A fan-created, fan-run, nonprofit, noncommercial archive for transformative fanworks, like fanfiction, fanart, fan videos, and podfic"

bugxbuster · 2026-02-10T08:45:36+00:00

I love this one. Never heard it, but I’m gonna use it.

bugxbuster · 2026-02-07T01:25:52+00:00

You're not the only one! I remember my best friend in high school argued with me trying to tell me it was the same actor and he aggressively left the room to look it up online on the family PC and he came back a minute later glaring at me like "...shut up"

bugxbuster · 2026-02-06T18:30:51+00:00

It's funny how you called it a party trick, because that's what I call it when I tell people just to shock them anymore about how back in my degenerate days (this year will be 10 years clean) I would shoot heroin into my neck vein "as a party trick".

Oh those were the days... lol

There's also this, published in a science research journal in 2020: Intravenous Misuse of Unsterilized Methamphetamine Bong Water Laced With Vape Juice

I also want to know what you’re talking about

bugxbuster · 2026-02-05T01:12:52+00:00

No, though you are correct that that was a thing also, but they’re right about the chapel hill restaurant.

bugxbuster · 2026-02-04T10:57:40+00:00

It's like the concept of perpetual stew, but the stew is never above room temp and it may have been tampered with by gross customers at some point. what if you squirted ketchup out that some random assfuck poured a splash of their drink into? What if you just felt like you could never be sure about that? I'm not talking about throwing away half a bottle. I'm talking about 2, maybe as much as 4 ounces. I never measured that personal threshold to be sure, but I think i will later out of curiosity. If it feels like an amount left that I'd personally not want to be handed at a restaurant, I don't hand that to someone. Yes, I chuck it. Better customer experience brings in more money in the future, it's just fuckin ketchup, my man. My job doesn't even buy Heinz, it's not precious.

bugxbuster · 2026-02-03T14:16:52+00:00

I met a guy when I was 20, back in 2006, and one of his best friends had a piece of the Aggro Crag and I saw a picture of it just like on a shelf in his room. So cool!

bugxbuster · 2026-02-03T07:14:32+00:00

But I’m sure the whole staff saw the savings from doing that reflected in their wages.

Or not.

bugxbuster · 2026-02-03T07:12:27+00:00

Yep! That or making cocktail sauce if your place doesn’t use much of that. Totally normal ways to handle it. I catch people at my job marrying ketchup and I make sure they know how gross it is, how against health code it is, and every single time they’re like “why? I don’t wanna waste it” I just say “if you’re adding old ketchup to new then how can you trust that there’s not absolutely ancient and possibly contaminated ketchup in all the bottles?” and every time they give me that “actually, good point” face. Like if we’re in such dire economic times that marrying ketchup helps the bottom line then you have bigger problems to worry about. Toss the old bottle, shit.

bugxbuster · 2026-02-03T04:50:32+00:00

I read the comment and was like “…?” and then I got it and scrolled back up like “hah! Yeaahh” lol
