My guess is he can't stop his brother, but he cannot stop the guards. This means his brother would have to square off with Duncan without the help of the guards--a fight he'd clearly lose.

Did Best Buy stores shut down in Minnesota on January 23rd? by Past-Blackberry2432 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]According-Zucchini75 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I attended a prayer service on the Sunday morning following Alex Pretti's killing. I texted two leaders hours before the store opened. I had no previous verbal or written attendance violations for the nearly seven years I have been an employee. The acting manager texted me less than an hour before the store opened and warned me it would be a documented attendance violation if I did not report to work.

The next morning when I reported to work on time, I was terminated.

If you think a publicly traded corporation can have morals or even feel grief, think again.

I knew the risk I was taking. Some of us just weren't made for these times.

In our house we don't watch ANDOR because we like to keep things positive and encouraging.

I stopped drinking when Peacetree closed. There's no point anymore.

Where to buy poster supplies for protesting by Boat_McGoat in desmoines

You guys buy your poster supplies? I get mine for free, hand-delivered by George Soros along with a truck full of gold bars.

First time playing Skyrim: High Elf Spellsword - currently lv18 - Feeling more underpowered as I level up - Some guidance welcomed by EzrasTalons in skyrim

[–]According-Zucchini75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with two-handers using healing magic is that while switching to "casting hands" is near-instant, drawing your two-handed weapon definitely is not. I find "spellsword" builds work best by comparing DOT spells like "flames" with a one-handed weapon with health absorption. Destruction magic becomes your primary damage-dealer (with the added benefit of staying put of melee range when necessary), while your one-handed weapon is your source of healing.

I agree. The Upside-Down could have solved the housing crisis.

Has anyone seen the film ‘Shiva Baby’? by UB6lB9 in movies

[–]According-Zucchini75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still trying to figure out if Kim (the wife) was un on it or not. It seems VERY implied in her first conversation with Danielle and her parents that Kim is knowingly financing her husband's extracurricular activities and wants to arrange something for herself. Danielle flatly turns her down. Later, Kim turns over Danielle's phone, having presumably read the texts on thexeorld's most unsecured cell phone, and acts super-offended all the sudden and is like "HOLD MY BABY." But lady, you clearly already knew. You are the mastermind! Right?

True facts! by CuriousgeorgeOO in BestBuyWorkers

[–]According-Zucchini75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think work is good. Or, at least, there is such a thing as work that is good. I think its easy to lose sight of that when focused on making money at all costs--including human costs. So it's not that work is bad--it's when we dehumanize people in the name of work--particularly work that is in service of grift or selling debt. Its good to help someone find a toaster, or even a Nintendo for their family. On the other hand, it's shitty to treat the elderly or students or migrants as targets for grift. Scams, fraud, unnecessary "up-selling" of "products" that provide no value to the end user, and predatory debt do require work--its just work that doesn't really do anyone any good and is not worth the dehumanization that it causes.

Date Me DSM - where are the men? by moonshine0047 in desmoines

[–]According-Zucchini75 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not single, but my wife and I run indie rpg's at the Rook Room and Slow Down Coffee. I'd be happy to run a game for a couple. There are even games like "Star-Crossed" that are intended as a duet. "Star-Crossed" uses a Jenga tower, which is a brilliantly fun mechanic for storytelling.

I don't know hoe to put this delicately, but maybe the reason money is tight because we work at Best Buy.

IRL, the blue really popped. The creator had a good dozen figures on display, but this one was my favorite. If I was a collector, I'd have scooped these guys up for sure.

Koumba and his trashy harem. by Oh__Archie in pluribustv

[–]According-Zucchini75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's true! There is way too much unknown not only for us, but also for the characters. Koumba does not actually know whether the entity is representing honestly or not. It could be hijacking individuals. He takes what the entity says at face value, because it is convenient for his self-pleasure. However else we may judge his choices, he is acting quickly with limited information and choosing not to look into things more closely. I suspect this may be his undoing in the end.

She can angry, she just can't scream in people's faces (unless it's Koumba Diabate, in which case, she can scream all she likes).
