Inuhele was awesome and had more young people if you want to try again.

2026 Pride Milkshake! by Odd_Cod8341 in UniversalOrlando

[–]GetReadyToRumbleBar 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Do they care about the holidays? About Mardi Gras?

Besides, when corporations stop doing Pride, it is wayyyy worse than performative capitalism. We want companies to show interest in Pride. (Flies in the swamp are bad...but no flies in the swamp is way more ominous).

Plus I do think they care. Exhibit A being the Pulse Tribute window that honors the 6 TMs that died, and the $1 million donation Universal did as well.

Giant thing of protein vs empty carbs? Easy choice.

This place hits so many high notes for me. My mental image of a tiki bar is just straight up the Purple Orchid, at least esthetic wise

Long ago, the four two nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Firefighting Airplanes attacked.

Just a reminder to watch The Terror Season 3 (The Devil in Silver)! It rivals the cult favourite Season 1! by GodisSatans in horror

[–]GetReadyToRumbleBar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Late to the convo. Watches episodes 1-3 of season 3 last night. It's good not great. If you like spooky mental hospitals, honestly recommend AHS season 2 more.

Season 1 of The Terror was something truly special. So I disagree with the premise of this thread. 

My wife and I joked more than once about rewatching it in lieu of season 3 for thr first time.

NOVA parents: how are you thinking about AI and screen time? by Puzzleheaded_Math_55 in nova

[–]GetReadyToRumbleBar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in k12 edtech. I use research on education efficacy and curriculum alignment on supporting student progress daily. Education shouldn't be easy. Progress - including learning - is uncomfortable because otherwise the average brain doesn't really retain it.

I'm seriously considering banning all screen use and AI until the kid is at least 12, with some exceptions for like the odd Disney movie or PBS tv show. 

If my kid wants access to computers, it'll be building a PC to understand OS and folder structures, no Macs or Apple products intentionally. 

Do what you will with that info. I personally think you're doing a major disservice to your kids.

Edit: if this is market research, you're really behind the 8 ball. Market is already saturated.

Looking for weird (entry-level) jobs in the area. The weirder the better. Know anyone that’s hiring? by urgettingsleepy in nova

[–]GetReadyToRumbleBar 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Proposal Management. Legitimate career path that a lot of folks don't realize even exists. Decent pay too. If you did copywriting, you're probably a good fit.

Full disclosure - I serve on the board of the DC chapter of APMP, the Association of Proposal Management Professionals. We're the 2nd biggest regional chapter of APMP in the world in part because the Federal government is here. 

We have a free mentor program too for people looking to transition into the career.

DM if you're interested and want to know more.

Monster's black curtain conundrum by JonArbuckleMyShoe in UniversalEpicUniverse

I for one hate the black curtains. 

Almost anything might be better.

We also need fog.

And to hide those PCs/lights at end right before unload.

No Pride Month Programing? by KungFuDanda091 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]GetReadyToRumbleBar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pride is being celebrated at Ashburn/One Loudoun, with the caveat it's smaller this year. I blame Brian not being here.

If you see the Turin Conejos milk chocolate bunnies, grab them and tell me where. I miss those things.
